Dude, I’ve been exactly where you are right now so know how tough it can be to navigate.... I have shot a couple of 13”+ bull tahr and they were with a plain Jane remy .260. Nothing fancy, even had...

Not sure I agree with this. If you spend 90% of your time solo hunting or tramping, a 1-person tent will be a) lighter b) warmer (less volume). If it is mostly 2 people, you split weight in terms...

If you prefer a gun which is easy to shoot (low recoil) then honestly 6.5mm is the way to go, .260, 6.5cm, 6.5x55 etc. Energy retention, windrift, drop, penitration etc etc it just has so much going...

308 with 168eldms, 7mm08 with 162eldms or 6.5 with 140eldms. All good 0-500 without having to push them hard(2600-2650 and sorted)

As will a 308 or 7mm08 or 6.5 as long as you make good projectile selection and aren't trying to shoot at 1000. 7mm08 and 162 eld will go a long way

My personal rifle I use for everything now is a simple Kimber Hunter with the gel removed from the stock making it a little lighter than a Montana. It's in 7mm08 and weighs 2.8kgs scoped with a...

500 and in, lightweight and shoot able a 6.5 creedbore is pretty hard to beat. Still cheats the wind, holds plenty of energy, and doesn't hop all over the show so you can get a second shot off when...

Interesting post. I’m in the process of rebarrelling my kimber Montana with a 1-8” chambered in 6cm. Should make a good light mountain rifle. Like Bill999 I like the wee kimbers as well. Sent...

Bit late on this but, may be relevant This is what I think you may find useful Sako Finnlight in, 6.5x55, 260, 6.5 creed or dare I say 6.5prc, though for someone who fires a shot or two a hunt...

, hotsoup, for offhand shots, rifle fit makes the biggest difference for me. I custom pad the stock on every rifle that doesn't come up correctly. Look at the target and take a correct stance, then...
