Got some great Tac gloves and clothing!

I was looking for a good rear bag but haven't been able to find the right one. I'm thinking of just getting one online.

Any one you would recommend.

Most of the online ones are unfilled. Would it be ok for me to just fill with sand?

Also check sportsmans warehouse and Scheels.On subect of clothing nearly everything is made in china or south america.Blunstones are a fashion over there and a pair of non steelcap boots I bought in au for$70 was close to $300 over there,they are also made in china.Biggest savings were made buying clothing for Grandson on the sales,best dressed kid in Pakenham.We travelled to AK recently and found a chain of store called Fred Myers I bought a Tomtom 6 in with lifetime maps for just over $100 and Columbia fleece jackets in como or plain colors for $25.Also keep an eye out for Premium Outlets,collection of various stores at discount prices,on our first trip I was admiring Seiko watch at duty free Tullamarine for over $1000 bought same watch 4 days later at Seiko factory outlet at the premium outlets north las vegas for $150 ended up buying 2.So plenty of bargains to be had,of course go to Cabelas have been to the Waco store worth looking at and Bass Pro shops.Good Trip Hugh

i purchased a scope.rings and some bipods cheap in texas. magazines and ammo components are a definite no go.

just check before you purchase. eg, not all scopes are export restricted.

Tikka T3X varmint stainless 22-250/Bushnell Trophy Extreme 6-24x50.

sungazer wrote:I would recommend the Seb rear bags from Q store or a Protektor bag yes just fill them with builders sand. run the sand through a sieve first to get the fine sand it will pack down nicely. If you really want to go all out you can get what is called heavy sand also from the q store really not needed.

Buy washed sand its cheaper and no need to sieve.
