How's the pronghorn population recovering?
I hunted an area in Central WY this season that I hunted in '18 and '19 and was surprised by the lower numbers. I hope they recover soon.- SticksMcKinley

Help Me Choose a Twist Rate
My T3 Lite in .308 is 1:11. I just zeroed it a couple of weeks ago with 168gr Silvertips and they were sub-MOA if that helps.- SticksMcKinley

Suppressor Accuracy on a Previously Unthreaded Barrel
Yes, I had a Tikka barrel in 7mm-08 cut and threaded for a suppressor by a gunsmith who’s done other great work for me and I could not get decent accuracy with it after that. I don’t know what was wrong with it. I primarily use a CA Ridgeline now with a suppressor and get fantastic results with...- SticksMcKinley

Anybody else Hunt with Browning Safari Grade Rifles ?
Yes, I have a ‘73 Safari in .270. Great rifle and no salt problems! Some folks may think that I typed “salt” by mistake for some reason, but a little research on Browning Safari rifles will reveal the history.- SticksMcKinley

What to do with 6mmRem??
I'd check the barrel twist and do some more shooting with it, maybe try some different ammo. Might be a bad barrel, but I have a Parker-Hale in 6mm Rem that is a really good shooter. I think there were 1:12 and 1:10 twists, but I don't remember for certain. If all else fails, I'd be glad to send...- SticksMcKinley

Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?
I don’t if it’s been said yet, but the post about clothing in the same case as the rifle reminded me that I like to put my rifle in a soft case inside the hard case so that when I get to my destination, I don’t have to lug the big Storm case around. Like others, I also like to remove my bolt and...- SticksMcKinley

Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?
I think the carrier is more important than the airport. I’ve always checked firearms with SWA and had no trouble, but I’ve heard of trouble with others. If you get into a pinch with one, just ask for the TSA supervisor to help out. Be polite, don’t say any more than necessary and all that stuff...- SticksMcKinley

Camping info Input (Wyo)
I don't know about fuel stops, but if you have time, you might like to take your son to the Tate Geological Museum in Casper. They have a great dinosaur exhibit.- SticksMcKinley

Handgun suggestions for first one
Absolutely - my love for a good revolver is unabashed. I've got a 3" Model 629 that is great for the same task. My suggestions was to get training first and not rely on "point and shoot".- SticksMcKinley

Handgun suggestions for first one
Nothing whatsoever to do with the equipment. I love a good revolver. It’s the “point and shoot” part that bothered me. It’s just as easy to miss with a revolver as it is a semi-auto. I urge training first and foremost.- SticksMcKinley

Handgun suggestions for first one
With over 20 years experience in firearms training and instruction, I urge you to find a professional firearms instructor first before buying anything. I'm assuming that you're in WY by your username and I have no idea where to direct you, but a call the Gunsite Academy in AZ may lead you to a...- SticksMcKinley
