    16 inch 308 win or 358 win

    Christensen Arms Ridgeline Carbon .308 with a 16.5” barrell with a Q Thunder Chicken can on it. IMO, the .308 is the answer, if for no other reason than the can.

    Big Hank gets a get out of jail free.

    My first thought… To everything, turn, turn, turn There is a season, turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything, turn, turn, turn There...

    .308 users, what’s your go to hunting load?

    About 3 years ago. I also picked up a case of Norma Whitetail 150's for $9.99 a box. I figure I have enough ammo to hunt whitetails for the rest of my life.

    .308 users, what’s your go to hunting load?

    For deer hunting, let's get honest here. $9.99 Federal Blue Box 150's. I get sub MOA performance and 2,650 fps out of a 16.5" shorty. For a universal handload, 165gr. BT/AB/E-Tip over 44.0 of Varget for 2,625 fps. in the same 16.5" shorty. For a target load, 175 gr. Nosler Competition over...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I really don’t want to vote with Old Boring…but damn. .308. /sigh…boring. It just kills stuff. Dead. Totally, utterly boring.

    Compact rifle opinions

    Oh for sure. I highly recommend and endorse buying a rifle for the experience. Go for it. :)

    Compact rifle opinions

    Great answer. Just know, lighter rifles make for more recoil. My wife’s rifle is a stock-shortened Merkel K3 in 7x57r with 140 gr. Bullets at 2750 fps. Pretty much identical to a 7-08. Recoil is very brisk in that rifle - it’s 6# 6oz total, topped with a VX6 1-6x. Light weight also means...

    Compact rifle opinions

    ‘06Spring, what do you intend to use it for? What are your goals? If you come back and say “sheep rifle in XXX’Stan” that’s going to get one answer. “Sheep rifle in the Talkeetna’s” is a different thing altogether. Or, by the specs? 5# naked rifle, max range 700 yards… ? Or, just want...

    “Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25

    That’s not bad! 30 yard cold shot. I injured my neck/shoulder about 8 weeks ago…then whacked my back…that’s the first time I’ve been able to pull the bow back comfortably since my last cold shot pic. 150 gr. Kudu Point…RIP TKO shaft…right around 490 grains net at 56# of pull. I think I...

    Boot question

    I can only say that I run Superfeet or SOLE inserts in my boots. I also discovered that my favorite socks didn't work for my Crispi Laponia boots...a bit of playing around and I figured out that two pair, one medium one thin together gave me a really great fit. Sometimes it's just a question...

    Electronic ear plugs

    Read into the AirPods - as in, really read into the statements that Apple makes about them. They do not dampen external noise much. The noise cancelling component of them is more about driving down ambient background noise and not sudden single loud noises. A gunshot will simply blast right...
