I am wondering the same thing. I have a Harris and like it a lot. I would prefer to have something with QD mount on picatinny. I don't think Harris offers this, but the model I have sure doesn't. I am looking at an Atlas myself or a Long Range Accuracy F class Bipod. They're big but so is...

Merino wool is what I prefer.

I have a pair of gloves from Black Diamond that were under $100 and have great dexterity. I got them for ice climbing. What kept the price down was they didn't have Gore Tex but they also weren't completely waterproof...

I have a larger expedition pack from Osprey. Bought it years ago. Comfortable, very useable space.

I would recommend trying out whatever bag you buy before you buy it. My dad bought a 0 degree bag from Big 5 sporting goods. After sleeping in this bag I believe the 0 degree rating could only be placed on this bag to keep you alive over night. Its paper thin and a few blankets would do a...

We just showed up to Yellowstone, no reservations. The backcountry office was pretty accommodating. They gave us a pass for a "handicap accessible" spot that nobody reserved. It was about a mile hike on a very well paved road/trail, had a lake to ourselves. I can't remember the name of the...

I have a ruger precision rifle in 6.5 CM. Its pretty heavy how I have it set up and very low recoil. My wife will shoot it no problem.

Nice. Thanks for sharing

I'm newer to long range shooting and this forum. I'm from Tucson AZ and I'm just another trigger puller to join the community. I am putting together a 338 LM and have everything but a bipod. I have a harris on my 6.5 CM, its good. Just looking for something a little heavier. Possibly the...
