    Optics question

    It can't be backward with his numbers, he would hardly be able to zero; but it could easily NOT be a 30MOA rail; and or not sitting on the action/rings well. BTW My Vudoo with RK ammo at 28inhg needs 9.5 mils to 250y with a 50yard zero. I am 14+ at 325 for what it is worth.

    Optics question

    He is correct. That erector only has what it has. Think of it this way, whatever distance you dial, be it, 50, 100, 548 or 1200 to be on target; you just zeroed the erector/reticle on that target; doing so does not give you more travel, it is what it is. Worth repeating, remember when we dial...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    Some of you guys really need to go shoot 600+ yards at 30-45 degrees and report back what you find. Here's what I've found: 1. Most people here will have a difficult time finding a suitable spot that offers such conditions due to the angle of repose of most soils and weathering of edges to...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    nope - note that TOF is virtually the same for LOS and GD.

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    Good advice, but sometimes as I mentioned earlier the doing is more important. Especially because the distances that actually produce high angels, tend to also produce shorter distances than theoretically probable. Couple this with a very fast-moving (low TOF) low drag projectile and the...

    Dope shooting uphill - tell me why I'm wrong

    Maybe I just missed it... But going back to basics on what you need when using a PLRF during High angle shooting. Of course, GD is reduced up or downhill, and for the most part, no need to get totally vacuum-centric in that yes, up is mathematically different than down, but the variance is far...

    Do you guys like a pack without a hip system to put the majority of the load on the hips rather than the shoulders? ie Eberlestock Little Brother. For a very small pack without any true suspension system, 4lbs seems rather heavy for what you get. but I guess if you need the bag not to wear...

    That is a fairly good video, but a bit older, as all this stuff evolves. For instance, the newer Kuiu harness system is more adjustable in the lumbar area. Three things I wish they did better: 1. They compared very large bags to some much smaller bags. It would have been much better if the...

    Such a great post. Dialogue explaining the experiences really help contextualize our comments. I do agree, it takes a bit to figure out how to effectively set up the gun bearer. I think the MR has a lot going for it it your a sling shooter or just can’t give one up. Even tuned up on the...

    Interesting. I run the Kifaru Gun Bearer -- and found the Kuiu is kinda too light and hangs up often getting the rifle in and out lol.. First I am always chasing weight savings, quiet and fast. I do NOT use the Kifaru as you see on their web page but rather with the rifle much lower ad almost...

    Update to an earlier post. Three roommates in Wyoming going to UW; seem always to harvest a lot of animals; on pack hunts. My son on the right. Yesterday’s archery hunt. 1 -stone Glacier and 2 Kuiu packs. it would be great if the OP clarified if the pack was for hunting and carrying meat...

    @4ester said it well in the first post: In fairness, most all of the pack brands have a target audience and tradeoffs. If you want a pack to be rugged your choices narrow just as if you're looking for the lightest possible pack that can still pack out meat on your hips. For me, the bag needs...

    Lightweight hunting rifle “build”

    FWIW I was addressing the OP's direct comments as he also choose a FFP with "maybe something along the lines of Bushnell LRHS" and the majority of the people showing and suggesting low-cost SFP scopes to keep the weight down. While I seldom compete above 12x and probably have not shot above...

    I am in Desperate need of a Lock-N-Load A-300 Winchester Mag Modified Case

    ^^^100%, this works much better actually than the variability I get with the Hornady product. Marc from Spartan rifles does the same. This is the same process as the Hornady if one was wondering. It is just the viability in the ultra-light case neck that makes it harder to get a consistent...

    Lightweight hunting rifle “build”

    That’s exactly what I posted ie “shotguns” are better in some situations. Refecting on what the OP stated "Looking to build or buy a true lightweight rig in 6.5 creedmoor or 308win for mountain hunting." But let’s be honest, 100% of the people I ever talked to in person that is trying to build...

    Lightweight hunting rifle “build”

    Every time I hear this I think. Well, I guess that just doesn't matter what I think, but if you choose your FFP wisely you'll click on daylight illum and have a fully functional duplex or in some ways a functional red dot hybrid. How is an SFP or duplex faster than that? Now, we don't need...

    Lightweight hunting rifle “build”

    A tikka supper super light is about the same weight, mine came in at 5.87lbs in 7 mag -- but no brake.. Good scopes are what add the weight in most cases.

    Lightweight hunting rifle “build”

    man-- I think we all see the value of a FFP is fairly proven. I'd add a good FFP over pure weight. I've seen a lot of hunters totally get screwed on partial zooms.

    Success with Barnes, Hornady or Nosler All copper/ Gilding Bullets in .308

    I am intentionally using "solids" synonymous with the three examples the OP gave, nothing more, all of which I’ve shot a lot. Remember we've been forced to use these three specific lines starting in 2007! First, we only had Barnes, then in late 2007 E-Tips showed up, and just before 2010, we...
