  1. pods8 (Rugged Stitching)

    RokStok

    Late Dec order (Tikka pic/arca 3B) arrived yesterday. They did a solid job with the texturing as others have noted. Feels good in hand so far with an extra action and barrel I tossed in (don’t want to swap with my hunting barreled action unless I get time at the range prior to my next hunt)...

    Do you have experience with a sled for hauling out game?

    I had a hunt where a sled would have worked well so after I bought a Jet sled Jr and hauled it in the truck on hunts for years never needing it. In oversight I didn’t bring it out on a late season youth elk hunt and needed it, ha! But realistically the youth toboggan I bought in town was easier...

    Colorado add on bear tag - 2nd rifle

    I've personally never seen a bear in 2nd rifle or later and only once have I seen one in 1st rifle. But I'll be in good fall bear habitat this third rifle so I'm all ears if folks ever actually see them.

    Backcountry rifle hunters, ammo quantity?

    I carry around ~10rds. BUT might augment that on future youth hunts because I just dealt with a rodeo on one of my son's hunt. He has shot really well in the past but he wounded a pronghorn. I know if "I" had the gun I could have dropped it on a follow up shot while it was in motion (when it...

    Would you buy this scope?

    Just kidding. ZERO.

    Would you buy this scope?

    SO @Ryan Avery on a scale of 0-10 what's traction on this idea looking like with someone to actually make it (in any near timeframe)? 0 being pipe dream, 10 being you're proof reading a product announcement. We in the 0-2 realm still or is there movement towards this maybe being a reality?

    Recommendations on 300 wsm barrel

    Is your current barrel actually shot out and/or too slow of a twist? Basically asking why you're changing the barrel vs shooting what you got (if its the same cartridge) even if that means you wan to chop it shorter and rethread it. 1) Carbon barrels over steel barrels in short lengths don't...

    How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

    It may happen eventually, esp. if the state keeps going the way its been going.

    How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

    Sure it’s worth it to both parties. If it’s not a valuable gun then chances are it isn’t and it’ll ride the bench in the safe.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    I wasn't really worried about longevity versus and issue like a baffle strike or such and what options for repair due to the whole ATF drama in this country. (I mean really seems like a manufacturer should be able to destroy your current item and make a new one with the same serial number but...

    How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

    FFL for private party has been like a decade now, the 3day waiting period is about a year old now and the FFL (required in the decade old law already) is gonna follow the new 3 day rule.

    Sportsmatch Tikka rings and RTZ

    I use sportsmatch and switch scopes between guns, I haven't paid attention to RTZ specifically but its on paper at 100yd to adjust zero as needed.

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    I had wondered how they get repaired if there is an issue. I suppose with carful measuring and surface prep they could cut off the bad portion and start printing new layers onto the old substrate perhaps?

    How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

    I have some guns I won't likely use (or use much) but I inherited them so I'm less inclined to sell them off at this time. Selling guns in CO is annoying (private party transfers require a FFL and now a waiting period) so unless the gun has value (but no attachment) its not worth bothering...

    UM RokStok + metal bottom metal issue - probably user error

    The idea is they fill in the gap between the molded in metal screw hole and the bottom of the plastic. So when you torque it down you aren't distorting the metal down (which might be the sponginess you're feeling?) or risking tearing through the unsupported metal.

    UM RokStok + metal bottom metal issue - probably user error

    Someone posted some shim washers recently for <$10 for a 50pack that fit and take up the space left in the factory mag metal insert. Edit Amazon link: https://a.co/d/8xkAS8x

    Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

    They tested the ti xc and the enticer lti at the sound summit, what is interesting in looking at those results is the ti xc was louder at the muzzle but quiter at the shooters ear.
