    Clip-On Thermal Experience

    Anyone used a clip-on thermal vs a thermal scope? Just wondering how well it works for predators. I think it would be nice to be able to switch it to different scopes and rifles easily.

    Speer Boat Tail Soft Point Bullets

    I’ve heard they were soft, wondered how they compare to the TMK at closer ranges. Assume it would be similar in rapid expansion/fragmenting.

    Speer Boat Tail Soft Point Bullets

    Speer has a line of Boat Tail bullets with a soft point. I’m guessing they are similar to the Sierra Game Kings, but have never tried them. Anyone have experience with them on animals? Was looking at the 100gr .243 bullets for plinking, deer and coyotes as my local shop has them at a decent price.

    Barnes matchburners?

    I’ve not used them, but had the same question. From info gathered on other posts here it looks like they fragment quickly.

    Rokslide Approved LPVO?

    SWFA 1-6 was the ticket. 1-4 hasn't done as well. The issues with most LPVO's now is the reticles are more designed for 3-gun than for hunting. S&B has the good ones, but not in the price range you listed.

    Scope Evaluation Donation

    True statement. I've tried desperately to get a few to see what SWFA is doing and jump on board. No takers yet.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I’ve had issues with temp changes effecting TAC. In .308 and .223 so I only use that for plinking rounds. Same with H335.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I gave up looking and will try StaBall Match for my .223.

    StaBall Powders Experience

    Well, jumping in and trying StaBall 6.5 in my .243 and 6.5 and trying Match in .223. I talked to a guy that does custom reloading and he said it has temp stability of the extreme powders and meters easier. He did say he’s had a rifle that didn’t like it, but it happens with some rifles.

    Beretta BRX1

    After handling one, I wouldn’t get one. You can grab the bolt anywhere and slide it back. The release is a little tab on the side, if dirt or anything gets under that, you bust yourself in the face running the bolt …actually witnessed that while in the shop, funny to watch but terrible design...

    <$1500 first deer rifle

    Ruger Americans are the Red Solo cups of the rifle world. They serve their intended purpose. Weatherby Vanguards are solid. I actually prefer them to the MK V. I drank the cool aid and I’m on the Tikka bandwagon now, so I’d go that route.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    What about StaBall Match? Supposed to be like Varget.

    Freeze Drying Adventures

    Freezes dried zucchini chips are pretty solid. A bit of olive oil and salt before you throw them in…good replacement for potatoes chips. I’ve done them dehydrated too. Freeze dried ice cream is also fun.

    Tikka t3x .243 win 108 eldm vs 6.5 creedmoor 130 tmk

    This would be tough for me to decide, both would be great options. I have a soft spot for the .243 so that’s my vote. Had a lot of experience with 105 A-Max and had great success. Just getting started with the 108, but based on results on here from others it works.
