Knives
My uncle got me a Buck 102 Woodsman for my 12th birthday. It's seen a lot of use and it shows, but it's one of my favorite knives. In the '80's my uncles and hunting buds all had a Buck General 120. I got mine in the early '90's. It dressed a few deer, but we all came to the realization it...- Rugern01

The gun I wish I hadn't sold
fulldraw - I do not. I bought it a month before my oldest daughter was born (much to my wife's dismay :)) It took 8 years to finish, and I sold it a month after my oldest got married 25 years later. It was time to spend more money on it, and I decided to get out. -

The gun I wish I hadn't sold
Ruger stainless Super Redhawk 44 mag and a Winchester 94/22M XTR. The Ruger was the 2nd gun I ever bought and the Winchester was pristine with beautiful wood and deep bluing. Both proceeds went towards purchasing and restoring a 1970 Chevelle. -

Another One Bites The Dust... So long Kuiu
Its always a concern when the ownership vision shifts away from quality products to increased profit margins. I guess we'll see how it goes. :(- Rugern01

Is your mall crawler ready to go?
My 2022 GMC Sierra AT4 is ready for the season. Just hauled my UTV & cultipacker to my lease to put in 4 food plots yesterday. But....it could be on borrowed time. I got the 6.2 when I bought it new so I wasn't short on power for towing and hauling. Recall letter came in May that they need...- Rugern01

Fierce or Christensen Arms?
Have a CA Mesa in 308(2023) and a Ridgeline in 7mm mag (2021). Both have been broken in according to CA directions and both shoot well with no issues. I like both guns and enjoy shooting them, along with feeling that I paid a fair price for each, but I do agree that the Tikka rifles are hard... -

Sitka. A leader in outdoors innovation.
I think they got the name backwards, looks more like a "Hippie Drift Pack":) My wife and daughters all have one of those from LuLuLemon.- Rugern01

Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?
I get that some have had issues with their CA's, but the part I don't get is the pricing comments of 'way less' and paying 1/3 the price of a CA rifle for a custom? I'm not saying that it can't be done with great deals or having some parts/pieces, but I paid under $1k for my NIB Mesa, does this... -

Upland hunting hearing protection
Got the Otto Noizebarriers earllier this year and have been wearing them for sporting clays, rifle range, and hunting. They are a game changer for me. The charge lasts long on the ear pieces and the charger hasn't gotten below 80%. Last year I shot a ground hog with my 357 and no protection...- Rugern01

New scope for a 30/06
I have a VX3-HD 3.5-10x50 that I bought last year. Just got it mounted and sighted in, including a trip back to Leupold. Ran out of elevation. Leupold said all good and if still an issue use adjustable rings. Good thing I have a set of Burris Sigature Zee rings. Needed to use the .020 set at... -

Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?
Bought a Ridgleline in 7mm RM in 2022 and a Mesa in 308 in 2023. Understanding I would need a day for 'break in', I just got the chance to shoot them both in. I was hoping that some of the negativity I read would not be my experience, and was happily rewarded. According to CA, you need to... -

Making a job change possibly...what would you do?
Not sure if this was brought up: You're a teacher and likely are done with school between 3:30 & 4:00 pm every day? Plenty of time for afternoon hunts until daylight savings time? Plus you have weekends and most holidays off for additional hunting time along with your 2 personal days to...- Rugern01

Leupold scopes love or hate em?
In 1990 I put a Tasco World Class on my brand new Ruger M77 MkII 308. Cost me a buck, so I splurged, without 2 nickels to rub together, and bought a Leupold Vari-X II in 1991. The scope has been great and is still in service on another rifle. A few years ago, when I moved it to another rifle...
