    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    Thanks for this. I will give it a go. I will say, the timmney is much better than the stock ruger trigger. I tested it at Scheels when I worked there and it was 9 lbs stock...

    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    I have a Ruger m77 .270 win that i had a gunsmith put a Timmney in. I don't love it it made the three postion safety super stiff and sticky. Now I don't think I can totally blame this on the trigger I think this is partly to blame on the gunsmith. I have never tested it but it is a hair trigger...

    2025 gear game changer- wows!

    I put one on my wife's rifle this last year and she loves it. I was worried about drilling the stock but then I decided its a piece of plastic and I need it to fit her. With that said I won't drill any of my wood stocks.

    Cementum aged critters - Let’s see them..

    I cant remember off the top of my head for sure but I think this one aged at 15. I wish MT would put paddle fish ages in the portal.

    Not that I needed the lab to tell me, but he was aged at 2. Sometimes a hunt comes down to the wire and you get what you get but I sure wish I could have found that "3 year old" OP got.

    According to the letter I just got from MTFWP the jaw sample I submitted for my paddle fish last spring put him at 30 years old.

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    I have yet to get a bear in the cross hairs but I know when I do im going to have to chant "aim further back" the whole time.

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    Shoot I shot a cow at 400 through both lungs with a 168 VLD hunter out of my 7 mag and watched her run over 3/4 of a mile before tipping over. I decided bergers weren't for me and switched to coppers. Proof right there that caliber isnt the end all be all.

    Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

    After I saw Tyler Freel's video about shooting his moose with a 22 ARC I started to dive a little deeper in the small caliber conversation. Maybe I am a wuss or maybe I'm just starting to learn more things the older I get but I don't like recoil. I have a 7 mag that has relatively low recoil but...

    Another tikka tinkering project

    Wanting a new caliber, different twist rate, or if the barrel is just shot out and its time for a new one to regain accuracy. The list goes on.
