X-stix are my choice, particularly BPCR BP PPB.
Some testing at a short 200 yards - modified Sharps, LS Vernier and spirit globe, 528 grain 1:16 alloy paper patched slicks seated 1/10th inch into the Starline brass, 81 grains of Swiss 1-1/2F black powder, Federal 210M primers, wiping between shots with a wet bore gopher and a dry patch ...

My first ever was also a 336 in 35 Remington. Still have it and its going to my son who is a Marine. Most of my hunting in the early years was in Northern Minnesota - heavy forest. The 35 Remington excelled in that environment and I've taken more deer with that gun than any other I own.

I have had very good success shooting from my Quick stiX from Weiser Precision with my 6.6 Creedmoor Browning X-Bolt Pro.
And now Weiser Precision has an adaptor and 3rd leg to make a tripod for rifle, binos or camera. This company makes high quality stuff that greatly reduces weight compared to wood sticks or even dedicated (and highly expensive) carbon fiber tripods.

I love that .35 Rem. I've taken many deer & a black bear with 200gr RN .35 Rem bullets out of my Rem mod 141 pump. It bodyslammed big deer inside 150yds.

I'm in north central Fl. Fortunately I have 450yds fence to fence so I set up a 400yd shooting range along the back of the fam's property. I too am looking for a private place to shoot 500yds & out. Theres no ranges anywhere near here that are over 100yds.
Off Topic, I have not received the daily email from LRH since early August. I do not have it blocked. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, I have tried to use the contact us to resolve the issue but that feature does not work either.

For whatever reason I just came across this. I have read about people shooting from the prone position while hunting. hunting Az, Ut, Wy, Id, Mt, Nv, and Mexico-North. I never found it possible to shoot from the prone position while hunting. I will generally find a place to rest or support my rifle. Nothing else I will sit and shoot using my knees to support my elbows. I never seen the use of the sticks being used here. Interesting, but another thing to carry. It like it would great.
