    Canis Pamir Jacket Initial Review

    I would say it is longer than average and fully covers my back when seated. Seated and arms stretched it is close but the elastic at the hem helps it stay put. It is not quite as long as my Kenai at the tail, maybe an inch shorter.

    7mm PRC RRB discussion

    My Preferred Barrel is stamped that way as well, and in 2 places around the diameter of the shank. Mine is a savage style prefit on my Shilen DGR Action with a barrel nut so it made sense for that application, because they would have no way of knowing where it would end up in relation to the...

    Canis Pamir Jacket Initial Review

    In case anyone wants to know, I have worn this jacket quite a bit at this point and have some thoughts to add. It is in fact windproof. Riding in a boat with 30+ winds and about 45*, I could feel nothing coming through. It needs to be below 40* to do any moving in this thing. Heats up...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Sorry just getting back to this but here is what a Carbon 6 Sendero (.830 muzzle) looks like with the factory stock opened up:

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    I just did this a few weeks ago. I just used some heavy duty 80 Grit 3" wide sandpaper meant for a long block. I masked off the barrel and set the barrel action in the stock (wouldn't go all the way down of course) and started sanding up and down the channel with the stock held in a vise...

    7mm PRC RRB discussion

    I have a Preferred Barrel in 280AI. I went with them because they were one of the few that would throat the chamber to a supplied dummy round, and I wanted a longer freebore. I sent them three dummy rounds with 184 Bergers at 3.65" COAL and when I got the barrel, those same bullets in the same...

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 quick look

    I have 3 of the new style Trijicons, a 1-6 Credo, 2.5-15 Credo, and a 4-24 Accupoint. I think they are excellent scopes with all the right features. I'm surprised they don't get talked about more. All three of mine have the repositionable throw lever and don't have any clearance issues. The...

    Elk Hunting Knife

    Could you do it, maybe. Would you want to, probably not when you could touch it up after each one and keep it screaming sharp vs just getting worse and worse. Sharp knives are much safer and more pleasurable to use

    Elk Hunting Knife

    I’d imagine something with one of the extremely high carbide super steels like s90v, s110v, maxamet, or the like would do it if you’re careful not to chip the edge. The high hardness, high carbide steels are a lot more prone to that.

    Elk Hunting Knife

    Not a fan of replaceable blade knives for several reasons. I prefer a high quality fixed blade with good steel. My favorite steel is CPM Magnacut. It is very tough and won't chip on bone even at 15* sharpening angles. It is very fine grained and gets sticky sharp fairly easy, and does not...

    XLR Element For Hunting and Competition

    I did that one with a dremel then 80-400 grit progression with a sanding block to get it smooth and fit exactly right. I’d probably use an oscillating multi tool of I did it again because it would be easier to make a straight cut. Measure and mark carefully. Good thing is those mags are fairly...

    XLR Element For Hunting and Competition

    Bit of a dissenting opinion here but I was not a huge fan of my Element 3.0 for my Tikka. Just seemed to not soak up recoil as well as a traditional stock. Also the Carbon Smoke Composites buttstock was originally designed for AR 15’s where the barrel is inline with the stock and I felt the...

    Carbon vs cerakote for weatherproofing bbl?

    That is an interesting question. Just from looking over and feeling carbon barrels, I'm pretty sure Proof, Carbon 6 and others laminate the Carbon directly to the steel, likely with some form of vacuum bagging. Applying resin in a vacuum, if done properly, should prevent any voids in the layup...
