Additions this offseason

Got myself some new stuff and thought I’d share.

45 Colt in a S&W 1854:

Will be loading some hot 45 Colt for woods use; might F around and do a close range muley hunt next season. It’s a great little rifle, literally just a shortened 336 so a bit stronger than an 1894.

Got a new stock for my 25-06:

It is currently being bedded (by me in my heated garage) but I’m excited so you all get to see. I think this will add about 2000 fps to my current loads.

Got a new chronograph. This one’s the Athlon and it’s sweeeet


Also, I finally got a rangefinder. Just a cheap one from Vortex but man it’s a game changer.

Biggest game changer for me, though, is finally getting some AT tires for my truck and 500 pounds of sand for the bed. It’s a 2wd and typically sucks in the snow, but that has changed

None of this was all at once but I haven’t posted in a while so it’s all built up.

Nice. Maybe consider a 4wd?

I have. I decided the little it snows and the terrain I go through typically makes getting a different truck kinda pointless. I wasn’t sliding around this last time it snowed and it only cost me 50 bucks in sand and trading my old wheels and tires

The Athlon works great. Only difference here is there is no off season.

I wish that were the case here. Could hunt coyotes and small game I suppose
