    Points systems - when is it fraud

    Wyoming’s lack of any nr random tags in the moose and sheep draw got me thinking, can a point system become fraud? I understand a system doesn’t guarantee anything but there system continues to sell nr points. Unless your a top point holder, your drawing dead, so what is Wyoming selling? If...

    Ok what did I do wrong?

    I have a 22-250 weatherby vanguard I decided to put a rail on. I put the rail from the photos on the gun. With two different scopes the only way I can get the gun on zero at 100 yards is by shimming the front mounting surface. What the heck am I doing wrong? Wrong rail?

    300 rum factory 10 twist heavies?

    Anyone have experience loading heavy bullets in a 10 twist factory rem 700 300 ultra? I’m thinking like 215 Bergers or 225 Hornady eldms? I assume COAL will be an issue but I’m also concerned a 10 probably won’t stabilize those bullets also. Is this a waste of time to try?

    Light cheap accurate rifle

    Ok. Here is the criteria. I want a light cheap factory rifle with a short threaded barrel for a suppressor for deer and elk to 400 yards. Caliber is any capable cartridge available. I’m thinking Howa Superlite in 7mm-08 but availability is a problem on those. Could get it in .308 or 6.5 I...

    Suppressor question - probably a dumb one

    So I have one suppressor for about 5 threaded guns. Obviously the suppressor moves the poi vs not having it on? Is this movement consistent? Once they are sighted in with the can on, can I just move it between guns? Would I just be able to dial between sight ins if I record the poi change...

    Cabelas optics - buyer beware

    In 2019 on a Colorado deer hunt, my spotting scope fell out of my pack riding a four wheeler back to camp. The next morning I looked everywhere to no avail so in a rush to get a spotter I jumped on cabelas online and bought their cx-pro 86 mm straight spotter for $899.99. I think made by...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Rather than pollute the MT B&c mule deer thread, I thought I would start a new one. So at a recent meet and greet held in Miles City mule deer management was brought up. The fwp career staff and biologists made statements that just shut my ability to have an open mind down such as “We are...

    Easier to find their sheds or kill them

    After completing my fourth 10 mile walk in a row and picking up 2 chalk scrub mule deer horns and a couple chewed up bases I have had lots of time to ponder how bad I suck at shed hunting. For me killing the big boys during season is way easier than picking up their sheds and that is across...

    High gas prices

    Just curious how high gas would have to be before it affected your hunting and other outdoor activities? I think $6/gallon would make me think twice about some of my planned excursions.

    Olympic Arms 243 wssm ar question

    So 10 years back or so I picked up an Olympic arms ar-15 chambered in 243 wssm. I used it as my coyote calling gun and loved it. However a few years ago I experienced a kaboom with it. Basically I think I had a shoulder blow out or the barrel extension lugs blew out, either way I was lucky to...
