[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 889618, member: 29323"] [b]Re: What type of shelter do you use most often for backpack hunting during rifle seas[/b] I liked your post. It sounds like you hunt in way colder weather than I do. When it is really cold, I like the wood stove in the tipi tent. We have wet snow here, and once you're wet, there's nothing like a wood stove in a tent to dry off. I started by lightening my rife. I have a mountain Ti Browning A-Bolt in 7mm WSM. It weighs 5.5 lbs without scope, and with a Leupold Compact 2x7, it only weighs 6 lbs. That cut 3 lbs. off my Remington 7 Mag. without giving up any performance. All it took was a stack of cash. Prior to that I used a TC Contender in 7-30 Waters. It weighed 5 lbs w/o scope. It was perfect for Barbary sheep out to about 230 yards with Barnes 120 gr. TTSX bullets. Sweet to carry and to shoot, but not as accurate as my Browning or Remington. I played around a lot last summer with wood stoves for backpacking. I designed one that worked great here in town at 5000 feet. When I tried it at 12,000 feet, I was sorely disappointed. It just didn't get enough air. I'm curious at what elevation you're using yours.
