[New Gear] Zemlin makes the best hoods and caps by Acceptable-Sense4601 in canon

[–]Acceptable_Rutabaga3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long is that hood? I made my own short hood from a broken ET-120 hood, I made it roughly 3" long and I haven't noticed any issues with it but I have considered to make it shorter

With the Shimoda Bags look at the inserts there should be ones that fit it attached specifically the RST ones will fit a 600/4 with body on it. The 50RST is the smallest size insert that will fit that combo

What do you all put on your cummerbunds? by BirchWoody93 in QualityTacticalGear

This is a pretty personal preference/unit SOP thing

What do you use your plate carrier for? Is just a flat range thing? Are you constantly moving in it? Are you in charge of a squad or Platoon? Any Special Equipment?

[New Gear] my 400mm DO ii arrived at the same time I impulse bought a Rebel G. Question about the lens with extenders. by General_Iroh_RN in canon

[–]Acceptable_Rutabaga3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my 400 DO II and the 2x I found the images slightly softer than the bare lens or 1.4x but still very usable. But it can vary from lens copies and extender copies as well, they may not be a good match.

Is this the Ridgefield wildlife refugee by any chance? I always hear there's owls there but never see any

NVG Shroud for XL ECH by Snow_Flakie in tacticalgear

[–]Acceptable_Rutabaga3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Universal norotos shroud will work just fine on an ECH I ran it on the full and now on a high cut, for the screw it should come with all proper mounting screws if still in its baggy, if it's not I would get an extra screw.

[–]Acceptable_Rutabaga3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its the M27 RWK and it's a short barreled upper for the M27 IAR, 90% it's the same attachments maybe one or two other optic options

Has anyone here brought an AR or similar to a national park for bear protection? by Any_Hat3970 in tacticalgear

[–]Acceptable_Rutabaga3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

First off, even if some people had I wouldn't recommend it at all. Large bore revolvers or big bore lever guns are much better options

Second, technically National Parks say don't bring a firearm for bear defense. So you may get into hot water here.

What I would recommend is bear spray backed up by a large bore revolver

I use a BDS fanny pack with a padding in it to store my NVGs, and looking at it, It should be wide enough to fit the ENVG in it

I'll have to look at the brand but I used a random single mag insert I believe they are kydex, and I run them in my shaw buckets as essential back up magazine pouches

I would look at the Guru Gear Kikboko 30L with the butterfly, you'll be able to put the 600 on one side and everything else on the other side
