Thanks again everyone...
What range finder and what cal Kimber, if I may ask. Also, what bags and spotter. Thanks, eye.
Montana 280AI, VX3 3.5-10/M1.
Rangefinder: Leica CRF 1200
Bags... as in sleeping bags? Or packs? My pack is a Stone Glacier Terminus. Partners is a Barney's Pinnacle. My sleeping bag is a Wiggys... something. Their lightest one as of 6-7 years ago. Partner's is a Marmot... I think?
I had a (borrowed) Vortex Razor 11-33X50, partner had a Vortex Nomad spotter.
Great story!
What boolits?
162 Amax.
Why the critique on the Leupold?
I had to go back and read what I had said about Leupold. The "halfway reasonable" comment? I have zero complaints about my Leupold. That scope has served me perfectly. I've broken a few Leupolds, but mostly by gorilla-f-ing scope rings. I think they make a good scope. All the talk about poor tracking has me wanting to test it more thoroughly.
Excellent story! What caliber on the Montana?
Shirley a 338 RUM for bears and all that......
We saw 0 brown bears on this trip, which was a little odd... (not that it matters rifle wise). And please don't call me shirly.
Partner carries a Tikka T3 Lite (Gasp!) in 270 Win (!) with a Swaro Z3 (WTF?) Junk, Junk, Junk. Never seen him miss with it... grin.
