Principles to Building the Ultimate Hunting Rifle - An Updated Review of My Savage Axis
Переглядів 2037 місяців тому
*Important note* Do not buy a Leupold VX-Freedom scope for any active form hunting unless you install a CDS dial, which I believe enables zero-stop, or you create a way to lock the elevation dial. I just missed a whitetail because the dial spun on me while I’ve been walking with it slung. In this video I go over the principles of building the ultimate hunting rifle.

What Phone Do You Need For Backpack Hunting?

    My G2S came with 2 retainer pins (only 1 needed for the hammer pin). Also the 2 black trigger pins with the G2S have 3 grooves (1 on each side) so no easier orientation to install. There was no short steel slave pin to hold the trigger/disconnector assembly together while installing as with other Geissele models. The trigger performs well but this made the premium price feel like a waste.

    • @bradlock55

      I picked these cause they were a solid entry level rain pant. They’re cheaper than other options, have just enough features like cinches at the waist and ankle cuffs, and they’re lightweight. There are nicer pairs out there having crotch ventilation and more than just one pocket, but they weigh and cost more. I still have these and get by with them.

    The reactor makes sense for winter backpacking/ climbing. Because you have to boil snow which takes way more fuel. And on a mountain or in very cold conditions you might not have any liquid water available. So you have to melt multiple litres a day. I assume that after like 3 days or something like that the reactor would be the lighter setup.

    Somethin to note here guys, when installing the drivers’ side front shock, do your best to avoid moving the brake lines coming off the brake booster. I think I may have created a kink in my brake lines there resulting in some weird pedal feel, so I’ll need to replace those. Thanks for watching! Edit: I had a real mechanic working on the truck today and he diagnosed that it had a brake proportioning valve issue, which appears to be the cause of the odd pedal feel I experienced There wasn't a kink in the brake lines above the driver's side shock. Still best to be cautious.

    Loved the video man, you kind of covered it but I was going to ask if the Reactor has any other strong points over the Pocket Rocket. I know it goes a bit beyond this experiment, but does the Reactor perform better in windy conditions (more extreme than the fan in this video)? Also, would be interesting to run the test again with the Pocket Rocket at full blast to see if you can get the boil times to around the same, then see how much more efficient one is over the other (or maybe the Pocket Rocket is just incapable of getting water to boil as fast as the Reactor). Also curious your thoughts on how valuable the time efficiency is while you're out backpacking.

    • @bradlock55
      @bradlock55 8 місяців тому

      Thanks brotha. These are great questions, I appreciate it. 1) I can't think of any other advantages the Reactor has - just efficiency and power/low boil time. Durability seems to be on par, both have a good reputation there, though one of the heat exchanger fins on my Reactor did start to come off. 2) I haven't taken both stoves out at the same time, but the Reactor will perform better in windy conditions, no question about that. With the Reactor the flame can't get blown around whatsoever. I watched a documentary of some folks summiting K2 and they were using a Reactor. 3) That is a great point. Maybe I'll make a video testing the PocketRocket's efficiency at different flame heights. Would be interesting to do that test with and without wind too. May be tricky to control for fuel canister fill levels etc in that test but I'll consider this. 4) Time efficiency depends on the trip. If I'm backpacking with friends and just there for the experience, cook time doesn't even cross my mind. But on a multiday backpack hunt, life is non fuckin stop. Whether it's e-scouting, making hunt plans, setting camp, or talking shit, there's always something that needs to be done. On those trips there's no such thing as spare time and the last thing I wanna be doing is waiting on my stove to boil. Hope this helps.
