    Talk me out of a tikka

    Tikkas have slower velocities Most Tikka's aren't threaded. Tikka safeties are only two position. Tikkas don't have as much aftermarket support as some other brands. If you want to be an individual on Rokslide, you can't buy a Tikka.

    New LandCruiser

    I have a GX460 and won't upgrade soon. I really like the solid V8. But, I really like the Lexus GX 550 over the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser.

    How do you deal with suicide....

    I've been lucky that I only know of 3 people who committed suicide. Well, one we don't really know. Of course, I have no idea how many people have tried. 1. Sister's friend was at the lake with his wife. He was a joker and put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Nobody knows if he...

    Tikka Woes

    If you don't like the stock, it's probably not going to get better. Sure, you can adapt to it. Do you want to? Kind of obvious, but the more you shoot it and work up a load for it, the more money you are putting into it that could be spent on a different rifle. Fwiw, I haven't handled a...

    Montana Side by Side Laws

    That's my understanding. However, it's pretty simple to make one street legal, and it's a permanent plate and relatively inexpensive.

    Appropriate Velocity?

    I think that's good for a heavy arrow. If it isn't obvious, the really fast speeds that people get are with the light arrows.

    Savage Ultralite 6.5 PRC

    I wouldn't say it's an overreaction, but most guns are handled by someone before we buy them. I got a camo model that looks great, but I paid quite a lot more for mine. As far as the Ultralight goes, I'm on the fence on what will be my next purchase if any. There are chassis models with the...

    Rumble with huntalk in Bozeman?

    I'm not sure why anyone would need to settle a "civil" war. Also, why should everyone have to agree online to settle it? There too much censorship already.

    Good eats Waikiki

    Hy’s is good but has a dress code. Relatively inexpensive, Lulus with live music some nights. Unfortunately, some didn’t survive the Covid shutdowns.

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    I don't think Backfire-Jim would have cared if the guy used a different caliber. I'd say kick factored in more if the shooter wouldn't have missed shot number 2.

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    I wonder if the guy will read the comments or posts here to realize that he's not a 400 yd shooter. If not, I wonder if his friends/hunting buddies will. Then again, maybe we just have a different set of rules that we are playing by.

    Trespassing? Worth shooting a snowboarder?

    The point was he wasn't backcountry. :D

    16” max length barrel. What caliber are you going with?

    That's not true if you've watched more than a clip of his videos, but we understand you don't like him for some reason. ;)

    Trespassing? Worth shooting a snowboarder?

    Cool, how often do people trespass on your acreage? What do you say to them when they trespass?
