    I picked one of these up in 7mm PRC. Holy crap I wasn't prepared for the cost of this ammo, shits impossible to find and costs about $75 a box before tax. Save yourself the pain and buy a 7mm rem mag and shoot ammo at $23 a box instead.

    I use a Gun Fighters chest holster and find it comfortable under my binos, but here is a compromise: get an kydex iwb holster, they way nothing, clip it on your pack then when you dump your pack for a stalk stick it in your waist band and reholster your pistol. That way your gun is always on you whether glassing, stalking or shooting a deuce .

    I ordered one direct from Sig a few weeks ago and got the ship notification at 3 AM this morning. Got the 6.5 STX since I already have a Desert Tech in 7PRC. Maybe next year I'll dip for the 7.

      I would say the 14s would be too tight if you’re in thick timber and can’t see much more than 50 yards. If you hunt more open fields they’d be fine. For out west they are money. They do make 12x42s in the 2nd gen that are still solid. But obviously not the pros. Might be a happy medium?
