    Pay it forward - I will start

    I have a blue internal frame Trigon Cascade backpack for free to a good home. It has good straps for the shoulders/waist and is lightweight. One main compartment/zipper. Would guess it is around 1800cc capacity wise. It is stamped "M" and I'm 5'9/170 and used it a lot a decade ago as a fishing backpack, and I think it was originally used by my sister to take to Europe some 20 years ago, she is several inches shorter and weighs less than me, so would be a good pack for a kid to start backpacking and/or day trips for hunting, a tripod should fit in the main compartment with enough room for other stuff. I'm in central Tucson. Free to anyone who can use and will pick it up, it is not something I will ship.

    Misc Items For Sale

    PM sent on the Stony Points, also curious about if the bipods are the "S" models.
  4. Maybe throwing it in the dryer under low heat for a bit will get it to poof out? Can't comment on the jacket but drop a few tennis balls in your dryer along with the jacket and run it on air dry/lowest heat setting and it will fluff out the down.

    WTB Eberlestock Team elk pack

    If you are a member of RMEF sign up for their email list, I got a coupon code to their store and got it for about $40 cheaper than anywhere else online over the summer. This was the first season I hunted with it, used it on a successful Coues and Elk hunt. As Lance notes above it can be a good meat hauler, just make sure every thing else you haul can go in the top brain/side compartments ahead of time if you need to pack out meat. Learning curve for me on a new pack...I took the head of my bull and nothing else after I took a spike the last day of the Dec. 22N hunt a few weeks ago, mostly because I didn't feel comfortable loading up the main compartment with boned out meat and letting everything else more or less "hang out" while busting through manzy on a gnarly slope. I'm probably also guilty of packing way more than I need on day hunts. Ended up taking an extra trip with my pack frame but I was alright with that. I'm sure over time I will really enjoy the pack and already appreciate the rifle scabbard and shoulder/waist adjustments.

    WTT: Compact Tripod for Med/Large Tripod

    Not interested in shipping but thanks for the offer. Without the head it probably weighs 1.5#
  7. I have a used Sprint Mini II tripod (no head) I'd like to trade for a tripod (no head) that extends to at least 65" I just needed a dedicated tripod for a cabin balcony, this one is too short. Would be great for a kid and weighs next to nothing, here are specs: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/614703-REG/Slik_611_806_Sprint_Mini_II_GM.html I am in Tucson, but will be in PHX for over few days over Xmas holiday. I suppose if someone wants to buy it $40 would cover me getting a taller tripod. Thanks for looking.
  8. For sale: used Jim White Tripod head with two full size plates and one half plate. $220 in Tucson. Please PM me if you are interested. Looking for a mid weight tripod that extends to 65-70," a Harris bi-pod (9-13"), or an inline muzzleloader if anyone has trades to offer. Thanks for looking.

    Rifle for 10 Year Old

    There is a Browning BLR in .243 in the classifieds right now that would be a great youth gun. I own one (mine isn't for sale) and with handloads it is surprisingly accurate for a lever action, and it's lightweight and nimble (20" barrel).
  14. Thanks...yes I think it is a spitzer boat tail soft point, do not have the bullets from him yet...he just said "SBK." Appreciate the info...
  15. Helping a friend with a 26" barrel, 1:10 Rem 700 Sendero chambered in .300Win Mag make some test loads. In addition to IMR4831 and H4831SC, we have lots of Reloader 22. Anyone have the book data from Sierra for a .300WM and 180 grain SBKs with R22? I'm thinking of starting at 70grains and going up...but if someone can tell me what the lawyers at Sierra suggest it would be appreciated. Thanks,

    Tikka Rifles

    Tikkas are the nexus of accuracy and economy. I own two left handed T3 Lites, 270 and 300wsm, both shooters and both have taken their share of big game. Recently ditched the factory synthetic stocks and went with Boyd laminates. For lefty's, there are not many after market stock options. I wanted to make them HEAVIER...but that is personal preference. I would suggest upgrading the factory allow rings. During load development on the 300 I had issues with the factory rings staying secure under recoil.

    Warne Tikka 1" High Rings

    Have a set of Warne Tikka Rings, matte, 1"High. They were on a T3 with a 50mm bell scope for a few years. Here is link with reviews/more details: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1592175954/warne-1-permanent-attachable-ring-mounts-tikka My two cents after using this style of rings on a few different rifles: they are solid steel and once mounted they stay put and hold zero. They require a little more effort than other ring styles to get them mounted. Selling because I moved to a weaver stye base. $20 in Tucson, can ship. Would also trade for some 12 or 20 gauge birdshot. Thanks for looking.

    Since it is new in box, do you know if it is eligible for a free second CDS turret if you were to mail load data to Leupold?
