    Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?

    Glad to hear it shoots. My Ridgeline 300wsm has a little bit of a stiff bolt but shoots fantastic. 150gr TSX handloads at 3175fps. It’s been bad medicine on all the whitetails I have pointed it at.

    Stock finish ideas - walnut

    Minwax antique oil stain. I did a TC Renegade stock with it last year and it turned out great. I think I did 8 coats over the coarse of a week, letting it dry in between.

    .243 Winchester

    My 10 year old son is hunting with a Ruger American compact in 243. I converted it to the AICS mags just so I had one less type of mag around. It’s pretty accurate with factory and handloads, around 1MOA. He kills stuff with it and likes it. I have no experience with the savage. I would...

    CA ridgeline 7 prc

    My ridgeline in 300wsm has a tight bolt lift with a majority of loads. It’s plenty accurate though. Good luck.

    10+ Years of Use, What Worked

    Kuiu Attack pants. They are getting kinda rough but we keep on keeping on.

    Wow

    Yeah. As a Braves fan, I’m not a fan of this.

    7mm-08

    I have an older Remington Model 7. It’s the one rifle I will never part with. The 7-08 in that rifle is a perfect pair.

    How young is too young to hunt.

    Well he gets up at 0600 and works out 5 days a week. That was his idea, not mine.

    How young is too young to hunt.

    I really think it depends on the child. I started my oldest at 8. Now at 10 he has killed 2 whitetails and we are actively seeking a 3rd. But that being said, he is not a typical child. He is incredibly mature with an above average IQ and has been skipped ahead in some subjects in school, not to...

    What was your first big game rifle, and do you still have it?

    My Dad’s vintage Glenfield 30A. Which is just a budget 336 I believe. I’ve killed several animals with it and will kill more before it’s over. A new scope and a stock refinish and we’re still trucking along.

    Who’s using a suppressor on a 300 prc

    I put a YHM Resonator K on my Ridgeline 300wsm. It’s still kinda loud but the recoil is significantly decreased. Changed my POI a little but that is how I usually hunt with it.

    My New (to me) Remington 750 .30-06

    I had one when they first came out. It shot great. Good luck and congrats.

    Tikka T3X- Tight Chamber

    I’ve seen this in Tikka’s before. I have a superlite 06 that shoots the Nosler 165 Accubond factory load exceeding well. The same round will not chamber in my uncle’s 06 T3X. It shoots other stuff well so he doesn’t mess with it. I would probably send it back.

    HOWA 270 Win Replacement - Ugh!

    I have always been intrigued by those MDT stocks. I almost put my 6.5 CTR in one before I sold it. If I come into another CTR in 308 I most likely will. Good choices.

    2023 Garden!

    Started our plants off as seeds in a greenhouse box on the porch this year. That and a new raised bed, and maybe 400-500 lbs of compost has made a huge difference. Starting seeds in that box saved us a bunch of money.

    Obscure go to band

    Not super obscure and are currently touring, but Ryan Adams and the Cardinals are one of my all time favorites.

    Favorite catfish bait

    I’ve caught them on live bream, cut bait, night crawlers, shrimp, hotdogs, livers, all of the above. When they won’t bite one, switch it up and they will usually bite one of the others. Shrimp is usually the least nasty and works the best for us around here. That and crawlers.

    New AR Build Caliber

    I helped a friend put together a 6.8 SPC last year and it’s a shooter. It was easy to find parts and not much tweaking to make it shoot great.

    Suppressor Experience

    I have a YHM Resonator K. I shoot it on a 300wsm, 308, and 5.56 right now. My kids hunt with it on a 308 AR and love it.

    Mountain Rifle Caliber? Ya- I know...

    I’ve had 2 700’s, a Model 7, and two Tikkas. They all shot good enough to be considered “accurate”, but one of the Tikkas is under .5 with factory ammo. The Tikka triggers are just better out of the box than the 700’s also, to me anyway. The new 700’s look pretty good and I wouldn’t hesitate to...
