    Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome

    When the technology, information, and season structures continuously tilt the odds more against the deer were going to continue to push people who want to see a deer older than 2 YO to lock up more land and manage it tightly. It sucks but I don’t have much of a solution. Crossbows sept-January...

    Developing Loads for the .25-6.5PRC

    It’s slightly cooler burning than h4350 and is pretty temp stable too.

    Are suppressors over rated?

    The unknowns that fit over a carbon barrel are heavy AF for a ti hunting can. The decent suppressing ABs with reflex aren't any shorter in front of the barrel than those Airlocks.

    Giving my first rifle a makeover

    No, that's exactly what my primary hunting rifle is, 18" 6 Creedmoor that is always suppressed. Ideal length is somewhat dependent on can you're going to use IMO. 18" is about the most i want for a 7" front of muzzle can. I'll have a Unknown OG 6.5 soon that is only 4" in front of muzzle and...

    Fierce or Christensen Arms?

    Assuming by tough, you're talking primarily about bolt lift? How does bolt lift after a dry fire compare to bolt lift after actually firing a round? If it takes a similar level of effort, there's just a lot of cocking effort and their comments about spring rates might hold some water. If its...

    3D printed items for outdoors?

    Are suppressors over rated?

    Those airlocks are reportedly performing on par with the good 7” class cans. I think SAW is the actual manufacturer of them which is part of why that orev is intriguing.

    Are suppressors over rated?

    If I were looking for an all arounder now I’d probably give one of these a go:

    .270 or 30-06?

    270. Less recoil, flatter shooting, enough terminally for anything you want to hunt.

    Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.

    Think they gave out a whopping 4 tags this year. The Red Lake Band of Ojibwe issued 20 tags to hunt these elk well off the reservation. I'm sure that helps the farmer's desire to live with them.

    Trans Indigenous Subsistence hunting

    Sounds like some tensions might be raised when them 1/16th blood Crows start collectin' per capita income.

    Pac-Nor pre-fit barrels

    I thought preferred was just an expansion of match grade machine?

    143 gr. Eldx precision hunter 6.5 creedmoor

    I would expect a gross amount of carnage from that combo.
