    The Tax Man Cometh

    Shot a healthy whitetail doe this morning just before 8am. Morning was chilly and, even though she bounced into an overgrown cutover, I knew she wouldn’t go far so I stayed in the stand. Got down and recovered her just after 10. When I got to her, a rectangular slab was missing out of her...

    Two Tikka T3X OEM stocks that I've pulled off rifles for project builds. Never fired, never carried. Darker, grey stock on the left is TrueTimber VSX and tan and brown stock on the right is Veil (Wideland, I think). $50ea. or $75 for both. Buyer pays shipping but open to meeting somewhere...

    Developing Loads for the .25-6.5PRC

    I think my addiction to the quarterbore has been well-established on this forum. Started with a sweetheart little .257 Roberts Ackley Improved built on a CZ 550 FS, then this spring had a 25-7PRC built. Shortly after the 25-7 came home, I set about gathering components for a shorter barrel...

    Hershel House Rifles

    Saw this and thought y'all might be interested in it, too: https://www.wbko.com/2025/07/22/hershel-house-woodbury-school-preserves-american-gunsmithing-traditions/ One of my dream rifles is a Hershel House flintlock but I'd have an internal battle over toting such a work of art into the field.

    I've shot several animals off my backpack Uncle Randy-style but I'm really only solid to 200ish that way. I've practiced shooting off my spotting scope tripod with the scope swing down and am sort of comfortable that way, especially when I can get my pack under the buttstock for rear support...
