    Centerfire rifle turkey hunting

    I've one turkey with a rifle. Used a .243 and shot it through the wing broadside if that makes sense. Zero damage to the breast or legs and worked very well.

    New rifle

    Sounds like the headspace is too short on spec. Could have a smith run a reamer in it to get to spec pretty quick and cheap I would think. Way cheaper than a new rifle.

    Has anyone else noticed slow velocity from Hornady 6.5 cm ammo?

    I'm getting 2550 out of my 18" super lite with 140 eldm. That's with a can on though.

    Tikka t3x lite stainless barrel threading

    Not the best pics, but you can kinda see. Firearms Machining Services in Kalispell, MT did the work. He cut it down, threaded, and made the thread protector. I bought the adapter from Down Range Products.

    Off season for the dogs

    Been slacking on the summer training. Conditioning hikes for both of us have gone well though.

    Tikka t3x lite stainless barrel threading

    I had my superlite barrel cut to 18" and threaded 1/2x28 because of the fluting. Rockesett a $15 adapter to 5/8x24 on and called it good.

    Pistol Ammo For Mt Lion.. HP or FMJ

    Hollowpoint. I used a 10mm on my lion a couple years ago. Still had my hard cast bear loads in it from earlier in the year. Put one right in its chest and it jumped out and ran away. Put the dogs back on it and it still had a lot of life left. A 10mm hole through both lungs was the only damage...

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm Q&A

    I didn’t even realize it’s that heavy. Definitely not worth it.

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm Q&A

    The reticle sucks on that model. Put a simple mil dot style, or the one that’s in the 2.5-15 credo, and I would have already bought one. It’s another angle to come at it though. Probably easier to add a different reticle than to change everything else.

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm Q&A

    This with an exposed turret and ffp on the mil/mil version would be a winner for me. Seems like it would be a good potential replacement for the SWFA 3-9 since backorders are going on a over a year.

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm Q&A

    Form, I noticed the tracking had a higher than average error on the initial test. Mentioned something about being at the end of the erector travel could be causing issues? The most recent update says it was dialed for most shots during the class. Do you think the extreme ends of travel was the...

    Have you moved out of state?

    Originally from West Virginia. Moved to MT about 6 years ago when I was 27. I was spending all my vacation time each year to drive across the country for one hunt so decided it would be better to live closer. Love it so far and no plans of going back. There are certain things that I miss about...

    Suppressor wrap

    I was looking at those before I bought the silicone wrap. Does it knock down the mirage pretty well?

    Damaged tree

    I would make sure it’s getting enough water. Sycamore is naturally found close to water in its range. Think along rivers. That’s where I would start. Source: I’m a forester.

    Suppressor covers - who's and why

    I recently did the same thing. Pretty impressed with how well it works. Also adds basically no bulk or weight.

    Help selecting new mountain rifle

    Agree with this. And my smith just cut my superlite to 18" and threaded to 1/2x28.
