Diamond Outfitters Firearms Equipment List

Likes

Hunting in the Western half of North America presents its own set of challenges, especially when chasing mature bucks, bulls, and rams. A client who arrives in our camps without the proper equipment is dramatically handicapping the success and enjoyment of their hunt. To prevent this, we have created the ideal equipment list for firearms hunters. This list will not only cover the Western half of North America but is the same list our outfitter uses for all international mountain hunts. If you have questions about this list, give me a call.

Thank you for your business and trust.

This is the most important aspect of your hunt--optics includes not only binoculars and spotting scopes but also of critical importance is your choice in rifle scopes.
