I love this topic! I wrote an article for LRH about 100 years ago entitled Fur Loads. (https://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/fur-loads.460/) In it I mentioned that you can draw some conclusions concerning terminal performance on fur by relative performance on other species. That said...

I took a cross fox a few years ago. I heard some pretty wild stories of what a "cross fox" was. It turns out it's a melanistic variant of a red fox. The extra black over the shoulders and down the back form a "Cross". Exceptionally beautiful as is yours, sp6X6! No, they aren't a silver x...

I've had two 15X15 EENA wall tents from Beckel Canvas. (A bear ate the first one... :rolleyes: ) Highly recommend! They are made from marine canvas and are relatively light for horse packing. IIRC my 15X15 weighs 60 or 65 pounds which makes a nice load on one side of a horse. When weight...

May I ask what do you intend to upgrade to?

Gotta love a beautiful Cooper!

Since the thread has already been 'jacked by bag phones (The actual reason I checked in on this thread. :D)...I got the 3rd bag phone in our county. $400.00! Because the power unit was in the bag instead of the handset, they put 3 full watts of power in those things! (0.9W is the limit in...

Being a gear whore, this thread is fun. The OP has gotten some solid advice! As if it's needed, here's my take... I've used multiple pieces of KUIU, Sitka, FL, Kryptek as well as Smartwool and a couple of others. I don't care much about camo patterns. If I did, Kryptek Highlander would win...

WAAAAY more scientific than me! I just shoot and after a while it becomes apparent what's working. I must say that as content as I was with my NXS scopes, I was impressed on several fronts with the ATACRs. I've never taken the plunge on a SWARO rifle scope. (I run one of their spotters.)...

Pretty simple. I spot a jackrabbit then switch to my rifle and see if I can see it well enough to shoot it. Of the scopes I've tried, the ATACR is the one I can shoot them the latest/ darkest. "Whether He is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I know: though I was blind, now I see."

I just turned 63 and I feel your pain. My low-light vision is suffering. That said, when the jackrabbit population is up I'll sit on an elevated platform at dusk and snipe jacks as they begin to feed. I shoot until completely dark which is longer than legal shooting light. (Jacks are...

Hey, cross-eyed people smile too! ;) Congrats on the great shooting rifle. Hearing many good things about Bergara!

I have a headache.

Not sure if this is a new problem with this load but my .28N started showing pressure with previously safe loads at around your round count. Turned out to be a carbon ring.

Once I set up camp, I hunt with a full-size pack that has compression straps to cinch down on my day gear. That way I can take a full load of meat out on the first trip out. Keep in mind that the light-to-ultralight backpacker may only have 35-45 pounds of gear. There's an infinite difference...

After waiting a year on two suppressors, I recently got a request from Silencer Shop to review the product. I hoped that it meant something was moving but no word yet. Anyone else with experience with this? Just a guess based on the calendar on SS's part?
