SHOW NOTES:
Intro: It's rifle buying time!
Tons of questions incoming about high-end rifles. Here's one of the best of the best. This episode reviews Proof Research's extraordinary Glacier Ti mountain rifle.
What makes a mountain rifle different from an all-around backcountry rifle.
• Proof Research barrels: Why they stand apart
• Proof Research stocks: Traditional styling, modern performance
• Glacier Ti actions & finishes
• Components & construction
• Proof's half-MOA accuracy guarantee
• Practical accuracy testing: The challenging protocol of firing three consecutive three-shot groups without allowing the barrel to cool, in order to test group size consistency and point of impact shift.
• Cost, and why it's justifiable
• Spring is over, summer's here. Time to get out and practice!

0:00.0 | It's rifle buying time folks and it's pretty obvious by all the questions I'm getting |
0:07.3 | sent to me on email or via the backcountry hunting podcast Instagram page. What's really interesting to me is that I'm |
0:15.8 | getting a lot of questions about high-end stuff. A lot of guys that are wanting to buy or custom commission that ultimate backcountry hunting rifle. |
0:28.6 | And of course that's the stuff that I love. |
0:31.4 | So I've had a lot of fun answering some of these questions. I want to share a few |
0:35.2 | of them with you and then I'm going to review what I consider one of well the top two ultralight, extremely accurate true mountain rifles that I've had the opportunity |
0:50.0 | to use. It's expensive right up front, but it is absolutely superb. As you've probably guessed from the title of this episode, it's Proof Research's Glacier TI rifle. |
1:05.0 | And don't worry, here in the near future I'll be reviewing the other one of those two very very top shelf rifles and that is Gunworks |
1:16.9 | climber rifle. Now the proof research Glacier TI that I have here is in 300 PRC. The Climber, the Gunworks Climber is in 7 |
1:28.9 | M. Somme, Short Action Ultramagnum. That's a, you know, the Remington cartridge that was introduced, |
1:35.4 | geez, nearly a couple decades ago now, |
1:37.8 | kind of died out and then is slowly experiencing a resurgence in popularity among people that want efficient 7m Magnum performance. |
1:48.8 | And I need a little more time with that rifle shooting it working with it before I can review it here for you on the podcast |
1:56.9 | But that's coming up. I'm also going to address a really cool rifle from Browning. I've talked about it before. This one is in |
2:05.9 | 28 Nolller and it's the X-bolt speed rifle paired with Leopold's new burnt bronze sericoted VX3 I scalp. |
2:17.0 | It's a 4.5 to 14 power with a 40 millimeter objective and it has the CDS ZL turret. That's the compensating dial |
2:26.9 | system with zero lock that I like so much on Leopold's scope. That is a dynamite combination. Going to be talking about that |
2:35.8 | one as well coming up. First, as is sometimes my way, I want to read you some listeners |
2:41.6 | questions. A couple of the recent episodes have generated a lot of |
2:46.9 | traffic, a lot of feedback, a lot of questions, and then I've just got some other cool ones |
2:51.9 | with the Hunt's upcoming that I want to share with you. |
2:55.0 | So let's go first to a message by a listener named Dennis Rackers. |
