While Backpacking in the mountains: Any suggestions for a decent tripod that will be used for mounting my 10X binoculars.

I have been hunting for numerous years in CA and AZ for deer and elk. I have a question pertaining to what size type of binoculars you would use for more open areas (without a large amount of thick scrubs like manzanita) for spot and stalk. There is generally lots of grade to haul up gear...

I wonder how the Henry's are in comparison. Hopefully they aren't produced as poorly as the MArlins.

I agree that the way OL picks the optics and how they rate the optics is very questionable.

My backpack hunts have been a mixture of: getting away from it all, putting my feet back on the earth seeing as much nature as I can a little bit of a lot of adventure and hopefully getting some venison or bird. I really enjoy hearing the wind in the trees and coyote choruses late at night.

It is a good thread. I wonder how good the scopes are, as Tract states they use HT glass on their top line scopes.

Thanks for the positive support. Will put my glasses on, and read!

How about the old Remington Model 7 in 308?

Greetings: New here, and hope to learn lots. I do not always get much time on the computer, as I have an active family life. I like to hunt and am working at learning long range shooting too.
