    This ^^ The likes of 300WM/300WSM/7RM can be made to work incredibly well if your handloading / doing a custom rifle, but in factory form using factory ammo, with the larger cals your dealing with...

    Jeez this could go on forever! But hey I'm here now so....... 7mm PRC. Less recoil than the 30 cal variants, accurate, with good factory ammo available. The 6.5's will get you where you want...

    Do you hand load ? If you roll your own then the options are much greater/better. In 7mm you should consider 280ai, 284 and 7SAUM, and the new kid on the block, 7PRC. You can get factory ammo for...

    7mm is the ballistic sweet spot. A 280 Winchester, 7rem mag, 7saum, 7 prc would serve you well. Out to 600 yards most of those rifles can get away with a short barrel. I have a 20” 7prc pushing a 175...

    If you need a muzzle break on a 6prc you should stick to rimfire

    I know of a deer that was gutted with a sharpened teaspoon, but the guy that did that now has something a bit better. If you want a nice knife, and the rent/mortgage is paid up, please yourself.

    I bought my Mercator knife in the early eighties, it butchered every deer I’ve shot and helped Puffin with a few of his. There are better knifes out there but Im not interested, buy the best knife...

    No one knows more than me, that knives can get under your skin. (no pun intended) But, at the end of the day, they're probably the least important part of your kit. So long as it's sharp, any old...

    Fair point. I just like smaller knives. Feels more controlled. Horses for courses I suppose

    Some one was selling an almost new Tatonka 35L on here recently for way less than those prices. I’d choose the Tatonka over the options you’ve mentioned above, all day every day

    If you're looking at spending decent amount of coin (Tahr XP currently around $520?) You should seriously consider a cactus rain jacket. Bomb proof and 100% waterproof and breathable, or if you want...

    You would be just as well off buying a jacket from Wish than buy a Ridgeline.
