    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Let me ask, although I already know the answer. What personal experience do you have that leads you to believe you can't?

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I love how you assume that because you can't do it, other people can't and therefore it shouldn't be allowed. I know a ton of hunters who shoot less than 10% of the rounds I do each year and you don't see me stating that they shouldn't be allowed to hunt. As for your assumption that a...

    Need help: fill gap or adjust rifle

    Define "kills better". To the OP, your 6.5 Creedmoor has already proven to you that it will kill an elk. Just because "most" people are using bigger cartridges doesn't mean they are somehow better. It just means that they too lack experience. I am going to side with some of the others here...

    Most reliable and shootable 9mm semi auto pistols

    Unless that person did a bunch of training with a laser and has picked up the habit of moving the gun a little to the right and sliding the head to the left in order to see where the laser is pointing on the target. Or just using too much trigger finger.

    The Old Man Finally Got Glasses - Need Recommendation

    WileyX has a very good selection of various frames and lens choices that can be prescription. Like Smiths and Oakleys, they are not cheap, but they are durable and they are made for the outdoors.

    Revolvers

    If yours is anything like mine, you will get a "double dot". It is giant PITA right now for me because with my glasses on everything past 5 yards is very blurry, but without them then any dots (including my bow sights) are doubled up and I have to figure out which one is the "real" dot.

    Tikka parts

    I am not sure about these specifically, but the other Tikka LA extended magazines hold 5 rounds of the standard cartridges (270, 30-06, etc.) but only 4 rounds of magnum. https://www.eurooptic.com/tikka-t3-extended-magazine-s5850375

    Most reliable and shootable 9mm semi auto pistols

    Do you actually shoot that thing or just hang stuff on it and sit it on that fence post? (this is a joke, btw) Nice looking rig. I love a CZ pistol.

    Long Range and Africa

    Very nice write up! I enjoyed reading it. We are really going to make the folks over at the African Hunting forum mad if we keep "defiling" their sacred cow.

    Revolvers

    I prefer revolvers and single-shots for hunting. For defensive work, the semi-autos get the nod. However I carry a Browning Hi-Power or a CZ-75 Compact, so no tupperware. Tupperware guns are competition guns for me.

    Are there any details on the Raven, custom Tikka action from UM?

    I don't see a 3-position safety as a necessity for a rifle with a detachable magazine. No need to "cycle" the action to unload the gun, as you just drop the magazine. As for having to take it off "safe" to remove the round in the chamber, this is where good gun handling procedures come in...
