While I don't have the experience of most of you, I've come to appreciate a couple of things since I've started...

Glass (scopes/binos) - my eyes have never been great

Filson and Smartwool

Good boots

I'm just now getting into the lighter rifles. My go to has always been my LH Model 70 in 6.5x55. Now I just want to lighten it up a bit... Although my new K95 in 270 might be a favorite if I can ever get out and sight it in...
