Proof Research Gift Certificate
Bump now that the holidays are over and people have a better handle on how much Christmas cost them. Anyone have a discounted rifle barrel in the budget for a new build in 2025? -

Proof Research Gift Certificate
I have a gift certificate from a rifle match that is good to redeem for any Proof SS barrel, to include prefit barrels. Redemption for any SS barrel is a straight up redemption, no cash added. It can also be used towards redemption for a carbon barrel as well and the "face value" of it is $850... -
471 AZ bull
At least JJ didn't seem a pompous asshole and acknowledges that without that whole crew of people there's no chance on earth he ever shoots that bull. I commend the guy who was narrating the video, or setup the situation in the first part. That's a tough thing to come to terms with. Knowing... -
Do you remember your first time?
My first deer ever was a whitetail doe, November 2nd, 2019 at about 11:00AM. It's the only deer I've killed to date, hit it at about 70 yards with a Bergara B14 Hunter in 270WIN topped with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40. It was the second doe to come across a shooting lane I had. I've learned a lot... -
In the market for a range finder.
Leica would be a solid way to spend your money. Sig Kilo also gets real strong reviews. Above posting about 2 failing within a 2 year time frame makes me nervous. He's the first guy I've seen say they had issues with Sig RF. Maven just came out with their first rangefinder touting 4500 yard... -
Maybe I'm the one who's nuts... thoughts on the great ammo & reloading run of '21

Elk vs. Wolves
If the DFW doesn't acknowledge their existence you cant be punished for shooting one. "Couldn't have shot one. There aren't any here." -
Ultimate Deer Rifle
I prefer Manners to McMillan but the cost and lead time on both are kinda nuts. Stocky's just released their VG2 stock which I have on order, you're talking about $500+ for just the stock and some basic BDL bottom metal. The Manners is likely going to be over a grand, for just the stock. This... -

Hunting Rifle Purgatory
3 years ago I would have said 300 Win Mag. Today? 300 PRC. It's a "new and improved" 300 WM. I was also after a bigger, longer, more ballistically efficient, hard hitting caliber and ended up deciding on 300 PRC. Its a real pain to find ammo for it right now but it's out there and seems to... -
Finally received the rifle that I had on layaway for 3 months in the caliber that I have wanted to try for 8-10 years last Friday.
Bergara is releasing a bunch of left handed rifles for 2021 for anyone looking for a wrong handed action.
