    Ruger American Ranch 5.56 to KRG Bravo Chassis

    I hunt with what is accurate. This rifle likes the Hornady Match 73 grain ELDM and has proven accurate to 440 yards. No pictures on my phone. I'll try and get some photos when I can get out shooting again. Weather and coaching wrestling have kept me out of the field for a bit. The KRG...

    Am I the only one who doesn’t use any gloves when I am gutting an animal out lol.

    I do now. I was cleaning a nice fat cow elk at -15⁰ one chilly December morning and got some elk fat under my finger nails. Thought nothing of it and we worked all day to get the 3 cows out of the roadless area over to where we could get machines to. My body couldn't warm that fat up...

    Scope with 1” Tube for Dialing

    Not sure if you found this yet. I set mine 1" high at 100 yards which gives me a 160 yard zero, mark 1 is 250 yards, mark 2 is 350 yards, mark 3 is 450 yards. HOWA Mini Action in 223 shooting Black Hills 77tmk. Jay

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    It is amazing what a bullet change can do for your confidence and ability to humanity take game. Some bullets are great for one situation but not another. Usually it is an impact velocity difference but sometimes it is a projectile construction difference. Glad you are having fun with your...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    In my opinion, the change has come (not just on rokslide but industry wide) due to the increased consistency from lot to lot on factory loads and the increase of heavy for caliber bullet weights in smaller caliber diameters. These heavy for caliber bullets allow small caliber cartridges to...

    Why does First Lite Customer Service suck?

    So let's say you went to dinner at the local taco place with your family. You spent $50 dollars on the ticket. When you got home, you opened the mail box and there was a coupon for a free churro with a $15 purchase but the coupon must be handed over at the time of purchase. Are you going to...

    4 day school week?

    My kids started that 3 years ago. It isn't too bad but we have older kids (8th and 10th) so the extra day off doesn't cost us more in child care. Allows for more time to travel with kids and do outdoors stuff. Doesn't really set them up for the real world on a 5 day a week 8 hour grind...

    Favorite Sheep Caliber

    Since someone bumped a 5 year old thread, did you ever go on your hunt? What did you take and where is your report? Jay

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    H He is using factory loads. It has been my experience that factory 260 loads are slightly detuned in comparison to 6.5CM loads from the same maker with the same bullets. Due to the SAAMI spec on the 260 of 9 twist in comparison to the 6.5CM spec of 8 twist you will find bullets in the 260 do...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    You crack me up! The only thing different between the 260 and the 6.5CM is maybe the twist (can be slower in a 260) and a 100 fps with the same bullet. The 129 Hornady Interlock is not a high performance bullet while the 130 grain Sig bullet is. A basic cup and core bullet (Hornady) will not...

    Why does First Lite Customer Service suck?

    I gave up on them a while ago. Bought 2 pairs of the wool cargo style pants with suspenders (don't remember the silly name) and had both blow out in the crotch. Bought 1 from a retail store and 1 directly from them. The first pair I put on me as I was climbing over logs and got my foot hung...

    Lucky to be alive! Alaska Elk

    It might be a InReach Mini vs InReach Mini 2 difference as they have different messaging apps and couple more changes from the Mini to the Mini 2. I have no experience with the Zoleo. As for your hand/knee issues, have you had any deep tissue massage done to those areas yet? I had a complete...
