    Are expensive glassing optics a must

    I sure wouldn't let the fact you don't have "good glass" stop you. People got by for a long time without glass. I think too many people get hung up on getting "all the right gear" before going and doing something..... sure there can be minimum tools to start, but that doesn't mean it's true for...

    Had a negligent discharge tonight. Learn from me.

    I think this is the wrong way to think about things. All firearms are dangerous. As the owner/user, it is up to you to learn how to properly handle whatever firearm you have. Relying on the mechanical safety devices is asking for trouble. It's not the gun's fault for this discharge.... not one...

    Had a negligent discharge tonight. Learn from me.

    1. Glad you are ok. 2. Thanks for sharing. 3. You don't need to pull the trigger and lower the hammer..... just keep working the lever.

    6.5 CM vs 6.5 PRC build options

    A non CNS hit will alow a deer to do what it wants for a limited time. I've tracked a couple of whitetails after a double lung behind the shoulder hit with .308. .30-06, .30-30.... some go 100 yards. Some drop right there, one ran up to me to expire.

    Help me select my first Elk/Moose/Bear rifle.

    That was a really good thread and has really reshaped my expectations on caliber performance.... pictures and actual experiences, quite helpful. https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/223-for-bear-deer-elk-and-moose.130488/

    Buying a new truck or a used one?

    I find this interesting. It used to be true here, but anything with 4x4 holds stupid value. 25k for a 4 year old Tacoma with 120k on the clock. 10k for a ten year old Z71 with 150-200k on the clock. Etc. I'm very mechanically inclined and started looking for a used truck, but there really...

    Rifle Dilemma

    Cold to hot. I haven't cleaned in a few hundred rounds. Off of bags at 100 yards.

    If you thought OHVs on closed roads were bad, check this out.

    You might be right. I've gotten to where I think people are just often ignorant of the dumb stuff they do, but this might be blatant.

    If you thought OHVs on closed roads were bad, check this out.

    Is it possible they are just ignorant of the law and the impact of doing something like this?

    Favorite Knife Sharpeners for Field and Home

    Oh to add a little something else. I think people get too hung up on what grit stones to use. Anyone more interested in just having a sharp knife to cut up game would be fine with just a 300ish grit stone. A good balance between fixing edges and getting stuff sharp. That and a strop would be...

    Favorite Knife Sharpeners for Field and Home

    The worksharp is a pretty good setup, but you really need to watch the video on how to use it on their site. Some of the details are important. Instead of the Lansky, I like the DMT Aligner which is more or less the same thing, but I like the DMT diamond stones better. In the field, I...

    Tikka accurizing for Tikka newbie

    These are my cherry picked targets. I have some more that I need to photo. And my fliers are just me. I really found I needed to work on my shooting and concentration when shooting. I need too shoot more. I probably will when I can get home for a bit.

    Getting opinions on the first rifle

    If you can take your rifle and put 10 rounds in a pattern that is about an inch at 100 yards on demand, you can reliably make adjustments for your trajectory, the round can ethically kill at the range.... that's all you need.

    Swfa 3-9 opinion

    I hunt in the woods entirely (logging lease). Not many 100 yard shots. 20-30 yards is normal. Last season I had the 6x and I had the same concerns. Turns out, it was pretty easy to use.
