Pick any scientifically reputable source that you’d like, the information is the same. Might be worth reading a bit about the science and scientists at NASA before rejecting it out of hand. “Storms of My Grandchildren” would be a good place to start. Written by a planetary scientist who ran...
If you discount anthropogenic climate change as a normal and unimportant part of natural geologic climate change it would be worthwhile to read some scientifically accurate information about it. I’m not a “sky is falling” kind of guy, and at my age I won’t see the worst effects. I do believe...
Climate change is part of a natural cycle that occurs for various reasons over extremely long periods of time. The climate change that humans should be concerned about is the rapid acceleration of natural cycles due to anthropogenic forcing. It is worth reading some science about.
Great advice that I’d second. Having owned a lot of rifles over a lot of years I’d recommend the above and waiting to build a custom until after you’ve had some time and experience to know what you truly want, and why you want it. Lots of good options beyond Tikkas as well. Used rifles can be...
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking the heavier ELDMs would have the mass for some fragmentation and penetration as well. I’ve purchased some 123 ELDMs so will start with them and the ABLRs. Thanks for the help.

I’m waiting on a Pendleton stock to finish a 6.5 Grendel build on an 8 twist, 22” sporter barreled action from Brownell’s. Already have the JO bottom metal. I hunt the forest in the Adirondacks where shots are almost always inside 100 yards, often inside 50 yards. I’m buying a few bullets to...
