This past weekend, I was in Cabela's picking up some 5.56 for my Raven (pretty much the only quality AR-style rifle available in Canada beside dropping $3K on a Bren or Tavor) and overheard a convo at the gun counter between a young dude and the gun counter guy. Kid was purchasing his first...
Its that boring time of the year when barely anything is open to hunt, and there is a dearth of interesting things to talk about. I think it would be cool to see what funny-as-hell or informative threads people have really liked from the past. (lets leave out the political threads, that seemed...
So there's this thing my gf uses called ClassPass. Basically you pay around $60 CDN a month and get 30 credits to use at various fitness studios around the city, We work out together regularly, but she was wanting me to give it a try to see if there's other fitness things we can do together. On...
For those not aware, Jasper National Park had to be fully evacuated due to two out of control wildfires. The entire park. All 5000 residents of the town, some 20000 tourists. Still in the process of evacuating backcountry hikers/campers. Unfortunately, both fires converged on the townsite of...
LGS has a killer deal on these rifles right now, thinking of picking one up in 30.06, specifically the veil cumbre version. Online reviews seem good, wondering if anybody has any real-world experience with them, and your likes/dislikes?
Aftermarket isn’t too important to me, as the most I would...
Got some questions for you Montana residents, as this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Whereabouts is this lake located, and what kinds of fish can you catch in it?
Living in the Rockies I’ve seen some clear lakes before, but this is a whole other level. Amazing.
EDIT: Foiled by...
Picked up a box of this on sale today for the 7 Rem Mag. No experience with it but the fact it’s a bonded bullet made me think it would work well on elk or moose. Anyone ever shoot this stuff, and what sort of accuracy/performance should I expect?
With the great success of the weed thread, i thought another thread that’ll get some people to roll their eyes and comment ‘wHenS tHe oFFsEasOn OveR’ was in order. For those of you still looking for love, how’s the dating app game treating you? One with the most success? With regards to hunting...
Was perusing Rokslide for my daily amusement as per usual, and some poster started up a thread very angry that Simms posted an ad yesterday featuring a fisherman smoking a bong made out a banana. As public perceptions change, got me thinking about what people think about weed in the hunting...

These look pretty damn sweet for the price, might have to pick one up in 270 or 6.5 PRC. Anyone handled/bought one yet?
Picked up a new 307 Range XP in 7mm Rem Mag, weather looks like it might smarten up enough soon to take it out and put some rounds downrange. Looking at Weatherby's recommended barrel break in, it seems a little extreme. Shoot 3, clean, shoot 3, clean, etc for almost two boxes of ammo. I know...
Always wanted a custom made hunting knife for ages, finally found one today at the Calgary gun show. Damascus and stabilized wood and I was sold. Guys who have gone with one of a kind knives, what style/materials did you go for?
Why does Rokslide all of a sudden think that a .243 can be an elk gun? Why are they all about using match bullets on game? Where did this thinking come from? Does anyone here agree with any of this? I get bullet technology has advanced and elk shoulders are not actually made of titanium like...
Just picked up one of the new Weatherby Model 307s in 7mm Rem Mag. Waiting for the pic rail to be delivered then time to mount some glass and take it for a spin. Fit and finish seem very good, the Triggertech trigger is amazing. Anyone else pick one of these up?
Stampede starts today! 10 days of pancake breakfasts, rodeos, questionable mating practices and drunken debauchery. Anyone going, anyone been, opinions? As a Calgarian, it got really old for me fast. Wondering how it compares to the rides down south
So I’m going out this May long weekend to the Blackstone/Waipabi region of the Alberta Rockies, trying to get some venison in the freezer (I have my Métis harvesting rights, so I can hunt any time of the year). This is right near Nordegg, AB, which is one of the biggest Sasquatch ‘hotspots’ in...
