I know Rands comes to DSC. Do they sell hats there or just take orders? Assuming I liked a style there, would they be able to fit it to me? I have a goofy shaped head I guess, and generic hats don’t fit me well.

I'm from central AR and will be traveling with a buddy from NWA next May. Is flying through Newark any cheaper? Last time I went Delta through ATL, but looking for cheaper options.

Can I get a price check on some CL 8x30 please?

Do you have a budget in mind? Lots of options out there these days from chyna units to 1280 cores. I own and enjoy Trijicon which has now added recording function if that matters to you. Also own Pulsar and enjoy those as well. The advice to budget for scanner and scope is good advice. You...

Without practice, yes. That’s also a good place for the 6.5prc. Good terminal performance without the recoil.

Seems like this thread has run its course but I agree that 11.5lbs isn’t a great mountain rifle weight if you will be packing in. I didn’t see it mentioned if you will be using horses or your target elevation. Elk are where they are so keep that in mind. My last CO elk was shot at 12.2k.

My choice has been 6.5prc but I’m not familiar with that bullet which seems light for the cartridge. I’ve killed bulls with 140vld and 140eldx though.

Suppressor is my preference but I also have some Westone silicone non electronic that I use when unsuppressed. Put left ear in and then the right ear just before taking the shot or on final stalk. Not ideal but has worked for me so far.

Yep, just modular vs non modular. I seem to leave all my modular cans in one configuration so I’m over that fad at this point.

Hybrid should work fine.

Thanks for the response. The dates available for us would be in the three rivers lodge. Have you ever stayed there? How was it? Are there many other hunters in camp at the same time? I suppose we can take this to PM if you’d rather not clutter your thread.

Great report. I’ve been talking to Limcroma about a hunt next year late May. Couple questions of you don’t mind: Which lodge did you stay in? How’s the weather in early May? Was hoping it would start to cool off a bit by late May. Were kudu rutting at all? How large were the majority of the...

I always just start close to get it on paper. Maybe 20yds or so. If you have a rest, take a shot. If you can see your impact, steady in the rest, then adjust the dot to your impact. Same concept as a one shot zero using a scope. Then I fine tune at whatever distance deemed necessary for that...

I use custom passive/non-electronic from Westone. Just put them in when getting close. My preference is using suppressor with no ear pro though.

Nice! What is the hat in the top picture sir? I’ve been looking for something like that.
