    Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome

    When the technology, information, and season structures continuously tilt the odds more against the deer were going to continue to push people who want to see a deer older than 2 YO to lock up more land and manage it tightly. It sucks but I don’t have much of a solution. Crossbows sept-January...

    Developing Loads for the .25-6.5PRC

    It’s slightly cooler burning than h4350 and is pretty temp stable too.

    Truck/Camp Chainsaw

    have you tried an MS400? on paper it looks better (weight/HP) but i understand that doesn't always play out functionally.

    Are suppressors over rated?

    The unknowns that fit over a carbon barrel are heavy AF for a ti hunting can. The decent suppressing ABs with reflex aren't any shorter in front of the barrel than those Airlocks. Actually a Zero Gravity 6.5 is shorter in front of barrel than a raptor 6 stack and should be lighter and suppress...

    Giving my first rifle a makeover

    No, that's exactly what my primary hunting rifle is, 18" 6 Creedmoor that is always suppressed. Ideal length is somewhat dependent on can you're going to use IMO. 18" is about the most i want for a 7" front of muzzle can. I'll have a Unknown OG 6.5 soon that is only 4" in front of muzzle and...

    Fierce or Christensen Arms?

    Assuming by tough, you're talking primarily about bolt lift? How does bolt lift after a dry fire compare to bolt lift after actually firing a round? If it takes a similar level of effort, there's just a lot of cocking effort and their comments about spring rates might hold some water. If its...

    3D printed items for outdoors?

    I'd probably do reloading tidbits like ammo trays, die holders, something to hang common tools from.

    Are suppressors over rated?

    Those airlocks are reportedly performing on par with the good 7” class cans. I think SAW is the actual manufacturer of them which is part of why that orev is intriguing.

    Are suppressors over rated?

    If I were looking for an all arounder now I’d probably give one of these a go:

    .270 or 30-06?

    270. Less recoil, flatter shooting, enough terminally for anything you want to hunt.

    Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.

    Think they gave out a whopping 4 tags this year. The Red Lake Band of Ojibwe issued 20 tags to hunt these elk well off the reservation. I'm sure that helps the farmer's desire to live with them.

    Trans Indigenous Subsistence hunting

    Sounds like some tensions might be raised when them 1/16th blood Crows start collectin' per capita income.

    Pac-Nor pre-fit barrels

    I thought preferred was just an expansion of match grade machine?

    143 gr. Eldx precision hunter 6.5 creedmoor

    I would expect a gross amount of carnage from that combo.

    Afraid of the dark??

    When i see glowing eyes in the dark it usually gets me a little on edge until I've seen a bunch of it and know its nothing of concern.

    I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.

    I have a loop of paracord tied to a press base on my bench solely for pulling cocking pieces up.. with 50% more effort I could just push it against the corner of the bench to @#)(# it too. [edit: the word that got edited to look like a curse word is just c ock] This video is a good one for folks...

    I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.

    Sounds like the firing pin got de-cocked while bolt was out? Maybe there are bolt action designs where this couldn't happen but I'm not familiar with them meaning it's not a tikka thing but a bolt action thing. If that was in fact what happened, it's an easy fix to get it back where it's...

    I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.

    7mm 150 Gr ELDx is a higher BC bullet than near anything that runs in a standard 10 twist 270. So a guy could start one at 2700 FPS and have velocity @ 500 yds be about the same as most of the 140 class 270 ammo that starts 200ish FPS faster. Either is likely in that 2000 FPS ballpark at that...

    Rear bag for shooting rifles

    I have a pint sized game changer with lite fill but it still weighs a pound. Bring it with on less strenuous hunts. On ass kickers the rear bag is going to be improvised (bino harness or similar). I've had a few of the ultralight foam filled bags and in general they all kind of suck because they...
