    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    I borrowed a Destroyer and loaded it with about 65 pounds and for me it carried great. When it went on it just felt like a turtle shell. It just fit right. I don’t know why I’m so against buying one for myself. If you’re planning on keeping either bag for life or aren’t worried about resale in...

    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    I think by cat-tail he’s referring to a band you put around your magnification ring. Allows you to move from high power to low power quickly. A throw lever. Best thing I did with my gamechanger was took out a seam and replaced it with Velcro. Now I carry the empty bag and use a little plastic...

    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    I was an RO at the GTI Match. That’s an awesome venue. I was the one who asked if you were taking a shot at the carrier then took you up the stairs on Stage 7 in the tower. Scarier Carrier. Best bet is to watch a few videos about what people have taken. Gear Tasting has had several in depth...

    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    With your mentioned packs, go with the Destroyer over the Battleship. The Destroyer can expand with the storm collar to give you some extra room. If you need the room the Battleship provides then you need to re-evaluate your loadout. The G4 Operator is nice and big but I think the top and...

    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    Mammoth probably won’t be possible for you this year. I think paperwork had to be submitted some time ago for access to the facility. I could be wrong about the timeline, though. Bushnell Sniper Challenge will be February 21-23 in Ellerbe, NC. This is another great multi-day team ruck match...

    Rucking with Tripod

    See if the head of the tripod will fit in the bottle pouch rather than the feet. That’s where the weight is on the tripod and if it is in the bottle pouch it will limit the amount of flopping. Should that not work you can try to attach two 40mm pouches with the bottoms cut out. Place them as...

    Fieldcraft Source for jute

    As a word of caution, that printed burlap from Walmart is some cheap water based paint. It will wash off and run when it gets wet. So don’t expect the color to stay. Otherwise it’s pretty good at getting bulk burlap at discount prices.

    Decided to Rattlecan my Rifle

    Not much if it doesn’t have an optic on it already. Plug the muzzle and put some cotton balls where the trigger comes through the receiver. Close the dust cover and insert an empty mag. Then spray away.

    Dumb question: Does an AR lower really affect accuracy?

    I’ve heard that the lower is just a box to hold parts. As long as it’s in spec it’s good. Now, the parts it holds are another story. Not sure how true that is but it seems if the specs are correct it doesn’t matter what is on the outside.

    Drag Bag, Rifle Backpack/Scabbard combo or ???

    One other thing about the Eberlestock packs. Different models allow for different torso lengths. Now not all of these have the scabbard, but the GSII was a bit too short for me. The phantom is better. The Deatroyer and the Operator I can make too long. Sort of strange that their suspension...

    Drag Bag, Rifle Backpack/Scabbard combo or ???

    I think that is from the bottom of the scabbard to the top of the pack. Then you use a buttstock cover if you want. The buttstock just protrudes from the top of the scabbard. To have a scabbard on a pack that would enclose the whole rifle would interfere with your legs. The top cover isn’t...

    Decided to Rattlecan my Rifle

    Quick method is to roll up some card stock into a tube. Slide it in and let it unroll. Stuff it full of paper towel to make it seal pretty well then use a razor to cut off excess of the roll sticking out the back.

    Determining rifle angle

    A mil-dot master has a slope angle indicator on the back of it. Use a string through the hole in the corner and put a small weight on the end. Small washer, fishing weight, or even tie an empty piece of brass on it.
