I have a pair of 600gram Danner Elk Hunters I wear in cold weather, sufficient with wool socks?


I have a -40 military sleeping bag system.


Clueless on the pack



Rem 700 LSFV bedded into another stock, 140 Accubond, case full of H4350

Good gloves and mittens, good knives,I think my clothing will be ok.


Any and all tips and advice is appreciated.




Thanks

Im surprised you arent taking one of your ruger 77's



That was my plan originally. I shot 50 rounds of 180 partitions with H4350 and H4831 but I could never get real consistency. I should have tried 180 Accubond as it shoots the 180 ballistic tip really good. I also worked some with my model 70 wsm but it was heavier than I wanted to pack. I had some 140 Accubonds and after shooting them and seeing how much success Pharm and several other have had with the 708 I just decided I would take it instead.


Sounds reasonable. Good luck with your hunt my friend..
