    Broken Fibula

    I just like that @2rocky kept working and finishing up after breaking it.

    So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

    It was in the eye-piece. Something came loose and they put it back together.

    So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

    I had an issue last year with my spotting scope. They were great to work with - and my issue didn't end up costing anything (only my cost to ship to Swaro). I did understand that they could come back with a specific issue not covered under warranty - in which case I would have been responsible.

    Terrible news, so sorry for your loss.

    Hard on the Body, Easy on the Mind

    Great photos. That area is in my top 5 places if we ever get a chance to hunt grizzlies. Glad you were able to spend time in there with friends.

    American Prarie to provide Bullwhacker Access

    This is very good news - thanks for posting. A buddy of mine had a 680-20 tag back in 2015. In late August that year - the Wilks opened public access across the Anchor Ranch. We were able to utilize the access that year and it was very nice. If I recall correctly, the Wilks bought the Ranch...

    Are suppressors over rated?

    I'm fine with recoil and mostly deaf (only at 49) - but I wanted one for the kids to help keep their hearing. They are great for recoil reduction - and "felt" recoil. Both kids think a suppressed 6.5X55 kicks less than a .243 (although that is not the case - but who am I to argue). I've been...

    Best food spots and Bars in Butte

    X3 for the Freeway Tavern and the Wop Chop. All of their fried food is worth it. The Butte Supper Clubs are always fun, Lydia's is a good one.

    Anybody else shoot a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser

    Yes, an older Mauser action (Husqvarna). Kids love to shoot it and I had it threaded for my suppressor. 140 gr Partitions is what we've used for the last couple of years. I have some 130 gr CX bullets from Hornady sitting on my desk that I will do some load development on this summer.

    300 win mag what powders?

    No like button - so X3 on IMR4831. I've always had good luck with that powder.

    Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down

    I would ask him what he would like. Caliber choice of .308 is great - and there are a ton of options. Maybe he likes lever actions? A Henry or Browning BLR would be great there. I still have my first hunting rifle I got when I was around 12. Mowed yards, shoveled walks, etc to scrape up...

    Hairy Beasts and Smell Korns

    I agree with @jakenbake - I think the mount turned out great. Part of the "hunt" is working through obstacles and dealing with them in the best way you can. I think it's a great representation of the hunt, so don't sweat not having a shoulder mount.
