    Do I need 4WD? How Capable is Subaru Outback?

    Have owned a gl, legacy, and three foresters. They are suprisingly great off road vehicles. when I was young and poor my first 4wd was a gl wagon. I took that thing to some ridiculous places. passed more than one stuck pickup with it.

    If you drive around the west without mudflaps

    I guess the gravel in wy is larger because of the wind. I have had two windshields sandblasted. If you have ever had this happen it sucks.

    How bad is a 3/4 ton truck off road?

    The diesel is great when the substrate is hard. Look out in sand and mud. I have taken my DMx to places that would scare most People. In 4l it will climb anything. If I was smart enough to post pictures I could send some action photos. Hard substrate tho

    Hunter Harassment on Antelope Hunt

    Yes by ranchers and ranch hands trying to kick me off of public land. I always carry a map. had a rancher erect a large no hunting sign on public land. I called the gm and he told me to run it over a few times. I did. Haha. He has since retired but was the coolest gm I ever knew.

    Barnes TSX vs TTSX

    I had two tsx 243 bullets not expand on a deer a long time ago. I think the ttsx fixed this problem and I have not had that type of failure since

    Gun weight vs accuracy/confidence

    Yeah but if you do make a crappy shot the 7 will be a lot better. I have several times seen good shooters make crappy shots in hunting situations. The softball sized groups pretty much go out the window then

    Best Antelope/Mule Deer Caliber?

    When you say “best” what do you mean? Recoil, ammo avail, wind, knockdown...... many parameters.

    for the 1000th time - Caliber options?

    In a perfect world a 300wm shooting 180 gr ttsx would whack every animal you listed. In a mountain rifle the recoil would be severe and as mentioned it could cause you a flinch. The most forgiving big game caliber I have used is an 06 and it will kill everything on your list. Ballistics are good...

    6.5 cm hate?

    Had a guy from Iowa show up elk hunting with his 6.5cm target rifle. The rifle had to have weighed 20 pounds and he was shooting Berger’s. I about @#*& myself. I politely offered him an extra 06 I brought but he turned me down. I was imagining tracking a wounded elk for two days but fortunately...

    Nathan foster’s website? Any opinions?

    Well if that’s the case then maybe we should go back to lead paint and gasoline And lead shot for waterfowl. My dad is a PhD biochemist and I am pretty sure that his description of lead poisoning is factual. And yes there have been studies of lead poisoning in birds of prey and it is apparently...

    20 year old Model 700 30:06 Practical advice needed

    You should consider learning how to bed an action. Its fun and not too hard. Brownells Will sell you everything you need. I use their steelbed epoxy and use floor wax as a release agent. The timney trigger is an excellent idea. Go for a 2.5 lb pull. You might want to lap the rings depending on...
