Yep. My wife had one. Not too bad and shot well. I'm just not a Savage guy.- deer_shooter

How are them boys doing?
Good reminder and thank you for bringing it up. A text or phone call can make the world of difference to someone struggling. Some have already made the decision, and some are looking for a lifeline so they don't have to. One thing is for sure, once the 'black dog' shows up, he's awful hard...- deer_shooter

Opinions please!!!
A lot depends on the type of hunting you do, distances you shoot and if strictly a 'deer gun' or something to scale up to other game. If it were me, I'd go Leupold all day, every day. The VX4 looks like a nice optic but don't overlook the VX3. The latter is a lot of scope for the money and...- deer_shooter

Solo Hunting Tips
Sounds like you have the budget part figured out pretty closely. I figure around $1200 for a trip, not including tag. Gas is usually $600 - $700 depending on vehicle milage, cost of gas, etc. I plan on $100 each way for food, another $300 for a hotel room the night I get out to where I'm going...- deer_shooter

New Bolt Action Rifle Recommendations
Of the choices provided, I'd go Remington. I have a bunch of them, and they all shoot great. I get a Timney trigger installed right off the bat, regardless of when they were made. As others have said, Tikka T3 is also very hard to beat and checks all your boxes. I've had a number of...- deer_shooter

Solo Hunting Tips
I've hunted almost exclusively solo for many years and prefer the solitude. Like most I'm sure, I don't get much downtime between work and married life, someone always want something from me, so its nice to step away from that for a bit. I can't really think of anything that is challenging...- deer_shooter

Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??
A lot of good discussion so far. I will reiterate to not underestimate how unpleasant hiking the tundra can be. I’d happily hike five miles on normal terrain than 1 mile of tundra. It seems obvious but the caribou will be where they are, you can hike all over the place and see nothing and...- deer_shooter

Group 1 passengers
I flew to Alaska mid 2020 when the aisle row was left empty. Delta seated from back to front, with flight attendants more involved in the process. Passengers could only use the bin above their seats. Plane was boarded in about 15 mins. Like others, I fly quite frequently and the goat rodeo...- deer_shooter
