Deer Hunting
Q:When do you guys (and girls) like to get to your tree stand in the morning? I am in a toss up because I like to try and sneak in early before daylight, but then if I jump a deer Im screwed because its not shooting light...so I have been hunting into my stand at opening light...what are your thoughts?

Rifles
Q:For some reason my Kimber 84M Montana 7mm-08 has trouble feeding bullets from the internal magazine when I load 3 bullets in it. It holds 4 bullets, and will feed fine if I load 4 in it and shoot all of the bullets in the rifle. If I load only 3 bullets in the rifle, the first bullet is fed in fine, however, the second bullet always seems to position itself in the internal magazine so that its just below the bolt so the bolt cannot push it into the chamber. I guess this is not a major problem as long as I load 4 bullets in my rifle every time, but I still found this a weird problem. Other then this minor flaw I absolutely love the rifle, any suggestions?

Q:What would you recommend for a riflescope (powerwise) for a gun that will be used in brush country and probably never take over a 200 yard shot. I purchased a 2-7x power scope but now am thinking twice that I should have gone 3-9x...help!

Trout Fishing
Q:Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep pickled bait from falling apart? I usually keep left over bait from ice fishing or even smelting in the spring and throw it in some plastic wrap with salt, then stick it in the freezer...When I use it in the spring some bags can be like mush and barely hold onto the hook..Help!

Q:I know a lot of scopes claim to be fog proof but can anyone give me an actual brand that lives up to this promise? Every scope Ive had out in the heavy rain and sleet has always fogged up at some point

Q:Has anyone ever had their rifle sent away and coated with cerikote or anything similar? How much did it cost? Was it worth it? Did it change how smooth the action was?

What's It Worth?
Q:Just talked with a rep from Kimber and found out that it will take a LONG time to recieve a new 84M Montana in 7mm-08. He suggested that I order the rifle in .308 caliber which is a slightly bigger caliber then what I wanted but I could live with it. The price of the rifle is the same if I was to order it in the .308 caliber versus the 7mm-08, but there is a used .308 model for sale at a local gun shop that is around 150 dollars cheaper. Should I consider the used rifle (a couple of rust spots on the action) or just spend the extra 150$ and get a brand new rifle that has no rust spots or unknown damage to it and I know that its in perfect working condition (hopefully) from the factory?
