Guns and Gear for an Alaska Caribou Hunt
Contributor Brad Fitzpatrick shares the gear he used on a recent caribou hunt in Alaska.
Field Tested: Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD and RX-2800 TBR/W
Faced with back-to-back hunts this past fall—the first in pursuit of pronghorn on the rolling prairie outside Casper, Wyo., the second combing the rugged Idaho mountains for mule deer—I knew I would need a balance between wide field of view, detailed clarity and precise ranging capabilities. Luckily for me, a pair of Leupold’s BX-5 Santiam HD 10x42mm binoculars and an RX-2800 TBR/W rangefinder were on hand, ready to be put to the test.
Review: Leupold RX-2800 TBR/W Laser Rangefinder
Leupold’s new RX-2800 TBR/W laser rangefinder is compact, durable and easy to use, and features ½-yard accuracy out to 2,800 yards, 7X magnification, an easy-to-read OLED display and the company’s TBR/W technology, which takes into account the angle of your shot and your rifle's ballistics for greater first-shot accuracy.
