    First Western Rifle

    The best caliber is likely the one you already have. Esp 500 yards and in. Be experience rich not kit rich. Hell put the money down as a downpayment on a drop hunt or buy premium glass. If you must have a new rifle bc you want one then I concur with the other statements on 6.5 CM or better yet...

    What route to go in 7mm

    The easiest button for your stated use is 7mm Rem Mag. More rifle options and bullet options than you could want and on the shelves more readily than PRC or even 7mm-08 (I've owned 7mm RM, 7mm-08, and 28 nosler.) You also can shoot heavy for caliber even at 1:9 or 1:9.5 twist. My 7mm Rem Mag...

    Terminal Ascent Performance?

    Heavily bonded bullet with a minimal amount of lead. If you prefer less dramatic upset and/or two holes they work very well. Been one of the most consistent and precise bullets I've shot out of the two rifles I use. I really like the shape and their BC for weight. However I've gone to a more...

    Low profile belt for cheap video

    Cheap belt video I recorded a quick video as I thought it might be helpful about the inexpensive $4.50 belt I picked up off Amazon to avoid any binding under my backpack hip belt. So far it's been more than worth every penny, not that there were too many involved 🤣 I hope someone finds it...

    Berger Elite Hunter and COAL vs chamber

    I guess I was just taken aback and a bit concerned when I saw Berger state may need single feed. Had me wondering if it would fit. I am shooting a bullet and cartridge right now that I redneck measured at 2 and 7/8" and it has zero issues.

    Berger Elite Hunter and COAL vs chamber

    Thanks, Internal box mag - I wasnt sure I could just stick a tape measure in there and get an accurate measurement etc. Its also a bit greek to me since I dont reload. Nor why the rifle manufacturer would refuse to state.

    Berger Elite Hunter and COAL vs chamber

    I dont reload and I noted the Berger Elite Hunters state on their website that they may need to be single feed. I'd rather not have single feed. I see the COAL on their website. I contacted my rifle manufacturer and they refused to tell me if the overall cartridge will fit. They stated would...

    Suppressors

    Read listen watch Pew Science - its not the end answer of all as each shooter hears a bit different shoots in different environments etc but its a good resource to help guide a person. https://pewscience.com/

    Comfortable Lightweight Synthetic Blaze Orange Hat

    For soft synthetic lightweight hats don't look at hunting hats in my view look at running hats and kayaking hats in blaze orange things from like epic kayaks Solomon running, Asics etc or even just go to your local running store and you'll likely find something there off of some off-brand.

    Mid-price rifle kit thread - review and thoughts

    Update the rifle is still shooting great I've switched over to dynamic research technologies ammunition and been super pleased with that been consistently shooting between 500 and 700 yards just to work on my own shooting. I did order a rokstok just because it seemed like too good the stock to...

    Mid-price rifle kit thread - review and thoughts

    I will add this that while it is about 1 lb heavier than my other rifle actually when people pick it up they always exclaim how light it is because I think with that Stocky's stock it's quite well balanced so I don't really feel the pound more it weighs versus my other. And perhaps bc it's...

    Mid-price rifle kit thread - review and thoughts

    Last year with some of my tax return, I decided to put together a mid-priced (yes that is a relative number) rifle in a caliber and style I wanted rather than just buying out of the box rifle. I didn't have the money nor time for a full build so cobbling one together seemed the best option. I...

    6.5 PRC suggestions

    Seekins, Bergara are both hard to beat - Bergara bang for buck may be putting out the best rifles on the market right now IMO (yes my opinion so we know what those are worth.) All that said I will state I am not a fan of Tikka - I've owned one and had two friends own them as well. All three had...
