    TIKKA Stainless - Phasing it out?

    I’m not 100% sure about the LGS work, if it entailed anything else but I’m thinking the same.

    TIKKA Stainless - Phasing it out?

    Silencer Central I know is $230 for chop/thread/shipping. Just had a buddy get his back and they did a great job. He also had a local gunsmith thread another barrel I believe for over $300 and he wasn’t happy with that work. I’m searching around right now for best pricing.

    Climber or hang on with sticks for beginner?

    Pair it with the X2 sticks and cable aiders from EWO and you’d have a very versatile, beginner friendly setup with good resale value if you changed down the road.

    Tikka T3x SS .223 @ Euro Optic

    I just ordered one. Had it in my cart for a while and the code expired on me.

    Big game wound/recovery ratio

    It was hard for me to be open with my numbers because prior to last season I was in the 1 in 10-20 range. Would’ve been a lot easier to click on one of those two options and forget about last year. There’s always going to be bias in polls like these but RS users in general are probably much...

    Big game wound/recovery ratio

    Looking at the poll results compared to my own really makes me evaluate what’s going on with my own situation. First thought is that pure excitement has led to most of my non-recoveries. Not all of them but most. For you guys that are on the other end of the spectrum, are you fighting...

    Big game wound/recovery ratio

    Pretty dependent on weapon type amongst other things. First 10 years of rifle hunting lost one deer. Then began archery hunting and learning some lessons the hard way. 20 years of hunting and last year was my worst year by far. Buck fever, excitement and rushing shots absolutely wrecked me. In...

    Saddle recommendations

    I started with a Wood saddle, 2TC, and an OOAL Ridge Runner platform. The saddle is well made and the owner is a great guy, super helpful but it just wasn’t comfortable for me. Moved to a Buzzard Roost and it’s a way better fit for me. Tried the 2TC method and although it’s super lightweight, I...

    Waterfowl loads for a 20 gauge SX4

    Like others have noted, Kent Fasteel is my favorite as well. It’s all about how the choke/load combo work though. Spend some time shooting at paper to find what works best for you. If you are thinking about Boss shells, just be aware that they have been known to have primer issues here and...

    Pump shotguns- Who is manufacturing the best?

    My reccomendation is to stay far far far far far far far away from Remington. I picked up a new 870 about 12 years ago while they were still holding on to their legacy. It didn’t last 5 years. Everything else I have personally seen since then has been junk. I was in a Sportsman’s Warehouse...

    Chris Bee Water Buffalo

    I agree 100% to keep shooting while the animal is up. However, with that many shots loosed it looks to me like the arrow didn’t perform well even though it was placed in the right spot. I am not claiming to be a water buffalo expert but I have not seen them stand around letting a hunter take...

    Chris Bee Water Buffalo

    You mean standing around shooting the same animal with 4 shots as performance being fine? First shot looked perfect then 2nd was mid-body and 3rd was in the neck and looked like it got almost no penetration. Whatever arrow he was promoting there, I can guarantee I will never pay money for after...

    I don’t know how they normally react to being hit but that was hard to watch.

    Budget hot tent & stove?

    With budget in mind I would recommend an Argali with a lite outdoors stove if you’re not wanting to do any sewing like the previous replies.

    Racoons on corn pile

    This is a complex issue on the biological front. One aspect is that historically in many places, raccoons didn’t have the range across habitat types that they do today. Because of changes we’ve made to the landscape they tend to inhabit most or all of the landscape whereas historically they were...

    Racoons on corn pile

    I just ordered some NO-BS dog proofs to try out. I’ve had good luck with most of the different brands but I like to try them all. Surround your feeder with as many traps as you can. Space them far enough apart where if a coon gets caught in one trap he can’t reach a second trap.

    Favorite deerstand?

    XOP X2 sticks and a buzzard roost saddle for me.
