Kuiu packs are 30 percent off today
Yes they are...and I think all their clothes are 30% off tomorrow. They do the sale every November. Good time get some stuff...problem is most of us have blown our budget and goodwill with the wife at that point. Last thing she wants to here after all the seasons have wrapped up is that I bought more gear ;-)Quote:

The exo, kifaru , and stone glacier are in a league of their own. check out the video on stone glacier site for their gun sling. Very slick and puts your gun weight on your hips. takes 3 seconds to be ready to shoot.
Stone glacier packs are very nice.
They do look really nice...but at $574....ouch that is a tough one.
buy the tikka take the savings and invest in a pack that will last you for 20 years. Even if the gun weighs 8 oz more the pack will make up for it ten fold especially when it comes time to haul 100lbs of meat out 5 miles. I didn't believe it until I got my pack the difference is astonishing
FWIW, Dan McHale sells lots of packs to wilderness hunters. A McHale with the critical mass (CM) belt will carry a 100 lb. payload just fine.
Paradox packs may be worth looking at as well, less than stone glacier, not hunting specific. But similar carrying concept
I figured this might not go over well in the puppy stoke thread...but out of curiosity, why the heck didn't someone shoot these dogs?

Its the middle of the the street and there are like 10 people trying to chase them away and save this guys life, who they seem pretty darn set on killing. Love my dogs and dogs in general, but I certainly would of draw and shot them...the one guy is kicking them and grabbing them and they bite him...
LAX has free shipping til Sunday on Vetsday ammo sale extended.
Thinking of (slowly) building up an AR. Are the Anderson lowers that Brownell's has for $42 any good?
I used an Anderson lower on my pistol build, works well. No complaints so far.
Not sure if the Brownells ones are the same. Got a link?
And don't be shy about their reloads...I've been using them for a couple years now, thousands of rounds and never a FTF or FTE...clean and very inexpensive.Quote:

Am I missing something?
Agreed, I restocked on quite a few of their reloads this go.Quote:

I took that to be:
1. He stocks them at $100 ea
2. He doesn't stock them, but bought one for himself at $100
Where you getting them locally for $50?Quote:

My old neighbor was the CFO at Ithaca Gun and dug a 1/2 mile long, official AWSA, water ski pond in his back yard with a jump and camera setup so it must be a highly profitable business. Shooting a BAR is on my bucket list.
