Is a fixed bent frame worth it?
I got tagged last night. I stopped at a red light, the driver behind me, on their phone, didn’t. Fun stuff. Hit me hard enough to push me 10’ forward and into the car stopped in front of me. They got a ticket for inattentive driving. On the surface it doesn’t look much worse than a new bumper...- Potsie

.25 Creed! But Why?
Not to pick too much fly chit from the pepper, but I’ve got some time before Dadding slows down enough to get out for bear season. Why is there another SAAMI spec Creedmoor cartridge? Dinking around last night on AB and I don’t see a huge advantage over the 6.5 or 6 Creed. What does the...- Potsie

Ball Head Recommendations?
I’ve been very happy with my current tripod head, a VA-5, for glassing. But I’ve recently gotten my 6 y/o out shooting with a tikka compact .223, and I’m thinking it might be a good idea for us both to learn how to shoot off a bipod. Not ideal off the VA-5 because you can’t level up the rifle... -
Spend my Bonus - Part Deux
Since you all were so helpful when @Irrelevant had a bonus… I get my yearly bonus end of 1st quarter and it was a good year. After taxes, adulting obligations, and family stuff I’ve got $1500 in the squirrel fund to have fun with. For me, fun means guns/hunting gear. I picked up a tikka T3x... -

EOY '24 - What Worked, What Didn't
It's that time of year folks. Although I've got a couple more trips on the docket, it's time to put 2024, and it's equipment, to rest - time to evaluate and plan what's coming up for 2025. What worked: Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 - I wasn't sure how I'd like a FFP scope, but after some practice...- Potsie

FS: CA Ridgeline .300 PRC w/ Zeiss V4
Don’t really want to sell this one, but I need to free up some cash for another project, and there’s just too much overlap with another build. For Sale: Christensen Ridgeline .300 PRC. Action has been bedded to the original stock, and the Warne 20 MOA rail has been bedded to the action. Also... -
.22 Pistol Recommendation
So here’s the deal. I own several pistols, but am by no means a pistol “guy.” Last spring I won a .22LR can at a banquet, and it should be here soon. I’m thinking that a small, compact-ish, .22 pistol with a can would be great to throw in my pack with some subsonic ammo for grouse while I’m... -

EOY ‘23 - What Worked, What Didn’t?
Been a great year on this front - time to pack stuff away and go over what worked and what didn’t. Yup: 1. Banish 30, and really could just be suppressed hunting and shooting in general. Got my can early in the year and I don’t want to shoot without one ever again. 2. 12x NL Pures on a...- Potsie

StopBox BOGO
Got in a conversation with a co-worker today about wanting to find something economical for locking a pistol up in my truck, yet leave it somewhat accessible in case. My oldest is old enough he’s curious and strong enough to unbuckle himself from his car seat, so I need to store my knock-around...- Potsie
