NODAK things to do
My wife and I will be in North Dakota at the end of the month over Memorial Day for a few days. We'll fly into Fargo and will be staying in Grand Forks. Anything that we should plan on checking out within a 2-3 hour drive? Any good restaurants, breweries, etc. in the area worth stopping in?- deer_shooter

Future hunting trips

When SHTF
I'm not a prepper per se, but living in a very rural area, one tends to be self-sufficient. About a year and a half ago a tornado came uncomfortably close to my home (about 800 yards) that knocked power out for 3 or 4 days. Unfortunately, that happens too frequently anymore so I have a...- deer_shooter

South Africa 2028
Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated. I was a bit like a dog who caught the car, so your reassurances were welcomed. I had the option of adding up to 3 days to the hunt so I already extended it by 2. I'm planning on putting 200-300 rounds of practice in and most of that will be off...- deer_shooter

Hunting Rifle Triggers
I have quite a few timmney triggers and a Rifle Basix. All are set to 2.5-3lbs. My 338 and 375 have factory triggers as neither are terrible and my preference is a slightly more stout trigger pull on bigger stuff.- deer_shooter

South Africa 2028
I attended a local SCI Banquet this past weekend and somehow managed to be the high bidder on a South Africa Cape buffalo hunt. I got it at a truly amazing price so I’m still in shock to some degree as I never thought I’d be able to pull of a hunt like this. I am planning on going April of 2028...- deer_shooter

Taking my life back
Good thread @cgasner1, thanks for sharing. I thought I was kinda alone but sounds like I am in the same spot as many others. 10 years ago I was in probably the best shape of my life but always tired. My workout buddy at the time suggested I have my T checked and it was in the double digits...- deer_shooter

Pure Precision Stock fit
I know a few of you have Pure Precision stocks and would like to get your opinion. I recently got a good deal on a Tikka T3x and ordered a PP stock for it. I mounted it a couple days ago and it looks to me like it should be seated another ~1/16" or so as the barrel is at least an 1/8" out of...- deer_shooter

Upper 50’s here in SW Pa. A week or so ago it dipped to 7 and we had over a foot of snow. Weird weather- deer_shooter
