    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Boring cartridges just kill s***, that’s really all that matters

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I love my 7-08 and am looking forward to my 280 ackley but I think you’d be hard pressed to go wrong with a 270, 308, 30-06 or 300 win with your consideration. Hornady is on a roll right now with the PRC’s but there’s a trail of failed cartridges that lead to them. I’d take my chance with...

    The best vest-less system for turkey hunting (imo)

    I’m not a big turkey hunter either, I can get by with a hunt comfort pad with a carabiner and my FHF chest rig. I actually had one of the steelheads like the OP and found I would just overload it, too much room.

    The best vest-less system for turkey hunting (imo)

    T&K will build you a chest rig in the classic bottomlands or the new design, no more excuses 😂

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    I can’t believe I didn’t see any Staccato votes 🤷🏻‍♂️ If it’s something to carry all the time it’d have to be a 365 Macro, if I can only have one period probably my 19

    Pre-Post retirement Budgeting

    They definitely generate income and you benefit from the equity once you liquidate them later, no arguing that. It’s just more hassle factor than I personally want in retirement.

    Pre-Post retirement Budgeting

    I’m amazed at how some people think rental property will just be passive income. The last thing I want to do in retirement is deal with renters and maintenance, that can turn into a royal pain real quick. It’s gotten even worse in some states as they give more rights to renters and squatters...

    Convince me to spend more $ on a scope

    It really depends on your use, I love my rs2. I wouldn’t even consider an rs1 for a set it and forget it scope, wasted features and money.

    Kids First Knife

    I was carrying a pocket knife before I was 10 (I was always fond of the more basic victorinox knives) but my dad gave me two hunting knives in my life. My first one was an old timer sharp finger and then a 110 later. I still have both and wouldn’t hesitate on either!

    If a guy had a $3,000 budget for a hunting rifle and scope

    If I was spending the $3k right now I’d go to Sportsman’s and pick up one of the Newberg edition Howa rifles in 7mm-08 (it’s just their carbon stalker with a paint job and cerakote). Drop $180 on a Timney upgrade (I hate 2 stage triggers). Also available in 6.5 prc or 300 win if you like/need...

    Small Binos, now what…

    I’d definitely hit up @hereinaz to see if you can work through his process, the other items I have from them have been great. I’m a couple of seasons into a pair of Maven 8x30’s, my favorite way to carry them so far is a Rick Young harness, I have a T&K if the weather is nasty

    NPS going cashless

    I don’t like it but the last couple of sporting events I went to were card only. You couldn’t get anything in a concession stand with cash. It’s just a convenience for them, no trips to the bank for deposits, no counting down cash drawers, easier to train employees and as mentioned above no...

    New PayPal BS?

    So after all this awesome technology are we really going to have to resort back to checks and money orders?

    5 lb 5 oz Backcountry Rifle Set-up. All stock.

    More false than true… True - light rifles are harder to shoot for most people. Less weight = more recoil so you have to learn to deal with that. The lighter cartridges (22’s, 6mm, 6.5mm) are going to be easier to handle, just like they would in a heavier rifle. False - No special stock...
