    Rifle holder for hang on stand

    Does anyone have a good option for holding a rifle in a tree when using a hang on or climber stand? If the weather's decent and on short sits I'll just hold it, but when I'm dressed like the Michelin Man on all day sits I get sick of holding it and hang it off my top climbing stick. It works ok...

    High pressure signs on “average charge loads”?

    I've been having similar issues with the Hornady brass, across several different calibers I've been hitting getting ejector marks below book max loads. You can get the stuff pretty cheap so I still run it for target loads if a mid range charge shoots well, but I've migrated over to better brass...

    Rebarreling a Tikka LA

    I had my Tikka 7mm Rem Mag rebarreled this year and was nervous about the limitations on COAL, a 0.050" jump with ELD-X's was the longest I could fit in the magazine. I did a test with 50, 75 and 100 jumps using a mid charge and again with a max charge of 4831SC and found out my rifle liked the...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    I finally got my Tikka rebuild wrapped up in time for mule deer season, this was the first time I've done a semi-custom and I screwed up so much in the process I want to build another one this winter just to capitalize on all my mistakes. I used a Lilja 3-groove 26" barrel with the factory Tikka...

    Best ammo choice

    Inside of 100 yards on a whitetail a 300WM is moving fast enough to grenade the lighter bullets, if you use something with a lead core I'd go as heavy as you can make shoot to slow the velocity down otherwise run a solid copper like Barnes in any weight and you'll kill a whitetail

    Glock 20's Blowing up?

    It's hard to see, but if you look at the top of the case as it sits in this picture you'll notice the bottom 1/4 or so bulges up, this was a new piece of starline brass shot with a book load using 180 gr Hornady XTP out of a stock barrel. When you drop a loaded case in some of the stock Glock 40...

    Utah draw charges

    After pulling a really hard to draw NM deer tag on top of the CO elk and MT deer trips my wife had agreed to for the fall, with a 3 week old daughter at home I may be the only person praying my card doesn't get hit, pretty sure this means that goat tag will be coming my way soon!

    Matching the right Nightforce to my Tikka

    Guess its time I do a little more research into the compact, I hadn't really thought that would be the route to go, but it will balance the gun out better than a scope weighing 10 ounces more

    Matching the right Nightforce to my Tikka

    For everyone that's using the 2.5-10 what would you consider the limitations or a distance you wish you had more power? I remember when my dad took his first antelope we forgot to turn up the scope in all the excitement and realized he made a perfect shot at 300 yards on 3x, afterwards I thought...

    Matching the right Nightforce to my Tikka

    What kind of distance are people shooting deer size targets at with the 10x scopes? I remember stepping up from my old Leupold 3-9x VX2 to the 4.5-14x and thinking the added magnification was nice even on a 400 yard shot. Is the push for that to make a lighter rifle or just to save money?

    Matching the right Nightforce to my Tikka

    I've hunted a factory Tikka T3x in 7mm Rem Mag with a Leupold VX3 CDS in 4.5-14 for the last 5 years and finally burned the barrel out. I was confident on game out to 500 yards in good conditions and took animals around that range every year. I'm in the process of rebarreling the rifle and...

    To buy a tag or not buy a tag, that is the question??

    It might be worth asking the locals when the bucks typically shed their horns, I've added a pronghorn tag onto a deer hunt in Montana before in late October and I was having trouble with bucks already dropping one or both horns. I was stalking a nice buck and in the half hour it took to loop...

    Wyoming Rifle Camping/Cold Weather Advice

    When factoring in weather conditions in late October remember that every 3,000' of elevation you go up drops the temp about 10 degrees, when you hear about October snow drifts a lot of the hunts are at higher elk/deer elevations. Down at antelope elevations the weather shouldn't be unbearable...
