    Hornady buys Thompson Center

    American made micro-action would be pretty hot.

    I want a 6.8 Western…but…

    I would never recommend 6.8 Western to someone that is not a gun guy. It’s too new and having teething issues. I love .270 stuff, but the only short mags I’d recommend to a non gun guy are 6.5 PRC and .300 WSM just because of ammo availability, variety, and staying power.

    My Aoudad hunt

    I wonder if a lot of people are also killing rams in hot weather and not handling them properly. I know a few Oklahoma hunters that say pronghorn tastes awful. Turns out they don’t know how to field dress an animal quickly. They shoot it in August but treat it like November whitetail and haul...

    Auodad in Texas

    Doesn’t sound like that big of a pest then.

    "Old Rifles"

    I’ve got a 60s era .300 Savage Model 99 that I use half the time when whitetail hunting. Haven’t gotten a good shot opportunity with it in my hands yet. The other half the time I’m carrying a more modern rifle with a suppressor because as of last year my kid has started spending part of each...

    Mid-size SUV or wagon options

    Had to trade in my RAV4 Hybrid because I knocked the wife up too many times. Loved that car. Good gas mileage, boringly reliable, great for urban snow or crappy country/forest roads. Never tried it in the roughest possible conditions in big mountains though.

    Another Okie

    Make sure you’re putting in for Wichita Mountains hunts. It’s the only Westernish hunt I’ve gotten to go on yet.

    Any College wrestling fans as we head into the post season?

    When Oklahoma State is on a hot streak I become a fan, when they’re not I forget the sport exists.

    Silencer Central

    No. Trust paperwork has to be complete before the Form 4 can be submitted.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Alternatively you can just put a low profile gas block on it upside down, the set screw should drive straight into the gas port. It’s not the lightest possible solution but it’s mechanically sound. *now I see this was literally discussed on page 1. That’s what I get for jumping to the end of a...

    Do engineers have a sense of humor?

    Too right.

    Mystery Ranch aquired by Yeti

    Yeti and NRA getting into a pissing match is not enough evidence to write off Yeti as anti-2A. Yeti has been marketing to hunters and sponsoring hunting media. I don’t think the political angle is the top reason to be upset about this.

    Short Notice, Long Trip to AZ

    That is my bare minimum plan for outdoor adventures. A hunt is only if I can make it make logistical sense and I’m aware it will be a stretch. But I couldn’t not ask the question, you know?

    Short Notice, Long Trip to AZ

    work is sending me to Tucson for a few weeks in September into October. I talked to someone from AZ game and fish to get an idea of what to look at, now I’m coming here for another point of view. It looks like legally I can probably hunt black bear, mountain lion, and an assortment of small...
