With a name almost longer than it is tall, Primal Treestands has released a 22-foot behemoth they call the Mac Daddy Xtra Wide Deluxe Ladder Stand. Durable and solid, this stand offers both the comfort and stability you need when hunting from on high. With an extra-wide, flip-up mesh seat and foot platform, you have plenty of room to maneuver for the perfect shot.

With safety as a top priority, Primal utilizes a grip jaw and truss-stabilizer system, which locks the stand in tight before you even begin your ascent to attach ratchet straps. That stabilizer system also makes the stand easy to adapt in non-ideal locations, such as swamps and river bottoms, and puts continuous pressure on the stand to eliminate squeaks and creaks. Finally, both the flip-down rail and the armrests are padded, to further cut down on noise.

For more information on this massive stand, which measures a full 24-inches wide at its seat platform,  please visit primaltreestands.com.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
