    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I really don’t want to vote with Old Boring…but damn. .308. /sigh…boring. It just kills stuff. Dead. Totally, utterly boring.

    Compact rifle opinions

    Oh for sure. I highly recommend and endorse buying a rifle for the experience. Go for it. :)

    Compact rifle opinions

    Great answer. Just know, lighter rifles make for more recoil. My wife’s rifle is a stock-shortened Merkel K3 in 7x57r with 140 gr. Bullets at 2750 fps. Pretty much identical to a 7-08. Recoil is very brisk in that rifle - it’s 6# 6oz total, topped with a VX6 1-6x. Light weight also means...

    Compact rifle opinions

    ‘06Spring, what do you intend to use it for? What are your goals? If you come back and say “sheep rifle in XXX’Stan” that’s going to get one answer. “Sheep rifle in the Talkeetna’s” is a different thing altogether. Or, by the specs? 5# naked rifle, max range 700 yards… ? Or, just want...

    “Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25

    That’s not bad! 30 yard cold shot. I injured my neck/shoulder about 8 weeks ago…then whacked my back…that’s the first time I’ve been able to pull the bow back comfortably since my last cold shot pic. 150 gr. Kudu Point…RIP TKO shaft…right around 490 grains net at 56# of pull. I think I...

    Boot question

    I can only say that I run Superfeet or SOLE inserts in my boots. I also discovered that my favorite socks didn't work for my Crispi Laponia boots...a bit of playing around and I figured out that two pair, one medium one thin together gave me a really great fit. Sometimes it's just a question...

    Electronic ear plugs

    Read into the AirPods - as in, really read into the statements that Apple makes about them. They do not dampen external noise much. The noise cancelling component of them is more about driving down ambient background noise and not sudden single loud noises. A gunshot will simply blast right...

    The Rifle you haven’t shot in a long, long time…but should!

    Ain’t nothin’ wrong with the 35 Rem under 250 yards. Give it a wing!

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    I wouldn’t have any problem providing receipts, nor would I consider it a trust issue. It takes all sorts of personalities to make this world go round. Everyone is different.

    Fenix headlamp?

    Just a bit of food for thought: The application of red LED’s was really more about reading a map or doing something up close without wrecking night vision. That’s a large reason why you don’t see very many super high powered red/green led lights. They aren’t really necessary. I’m also...

    Ego check

    As a rule, I don’t like. As a reality, I’ve found most of the stories I tell really are just that crazy. They never needed any embellishment. Somehow, that’s just how life gives me adventures.

    Robert Redford has died

    Thanks for all the work, Robert Redford. Out of Africa remains one of my favorite movies of all time.

    Anyone want to help me look for a hunting/recreational/investment property?

    NP, the 52 acre property - I’m not quite so sure I agree there. I hunted a plot out near Yancy for 15 years - it was fully land-locked in between several other major ranches. As the hunting season progressed, we regularly saw the hunting pressure force animals off those major properties into...

    phone case recommendations

    Shitty $5 clear plastic amazon special on my iPhone 14 Pro. 3 years later…countless daily drops…thrown from my motorcycle at speed… Shockingly, phone still works, no cracks in the glass, cameras still work. All I can say is that I put the phone in the case before I ever walked out of the...
