    Swfa models NLA

    When I said the drop tests were a guerrilla marketing campaign to help SWFA blow out their inventory of 90s Tasco clones, that was a joke. At the time...

    Emergency Chain saw for the pickup

    That's the pitch between drive links. 3/8" is the big boy, .325 is the little boy, 3/8" Low Profile or LP is the middle boy 3/8" and 3/8" LP are not interchangeable at all

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Probably all the pictures. And the internet being used to spread the specific point that yes, an elk might weigh 900 lbs more than a deer, but the bullet doesn't process the entire 1100 lbs. It just pokes a hole in the living parts and gravity does the rest.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Would you go big game hunting with this? Why or why not? The answer is no, and it's because on some level, even if it's subliminal, you know that bullet selection matters for everything. The reason you gloss over bullet selection for the big cartridges is that when you look at the shelf at...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Friction between the air and the tip or the barrel and the jacket? Or do they know?

    275X - Interstate Unit No. 1

    Funny thing is that if you are driving through, it  looks like a great elk area. The trees, mountains, couple of lakes and rivers, place almost looks like the Rocky Mountains. But yeah, 150 people applying for 220 tags is a bad sign.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    If knockdown power was real, body armor wouldn't work. Enough energy to kill a 900 lb elk, would transfer through a 10lb armor plate and into the 200 lb person wearing it and kill them.

    Maven rs1.2 mil in stock

    I just went with that number because it sounded like a lot but not like a million lot. Scope is $1200, podcast guy said 50-100 scopes, seemed ok. Maybe a million would have been the right made up number.

    Maven rs1.2 mil in stock

    The mob is fickle and all of this sudden demand is based on one dude on the internet. If anything goes wrong with that (like if SWFA somehow finds their way back into business and there are $500 approved scopes laying around), Maven is sitting on $100,000 worth of scopes that they can't sell...

    Switching from minutes to mils

    Mil just basically means "1000 to 1" 1000 meters away, 1 meter big 100 meters away 1/10 of a meter big 100 yards away, 1/10 of a yard (3.6") big It just gets harder with the inch system because people don't think of the size of a thing in yards, they think in inches or feet.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    There are things a 300 WM can do better than a 243 or 6.5C. Whatever those little cartridges can do at 700 to 1,000 yards, the 300 WM can do the same at 1200 to 1500. Are you a good enough shot to hit something that much further out and use the extra whatever the big one provides? Most people...

    Do you actually use the safety in a bolt rifle? I don't.

    Yes, it's an important part of knowing if my rifle is loaded and making sure I don't forget to load it. When I'm driving or riding, the bolt is closed, chamber empty (that's the law so I roll with it), trigger pulled, striker down. The safety can't be put on safe like this. So when I get out of...

    No Big Game Tags Drawn, is this normal?

    In a couple of decades on the internet, this is the first time I've seen these words in this order. As somebody who has never hunted East of the Snake River, my impression of hunting in the Eastern US is that if you don't know someone who has 40 acres and more deer than he knows what to do with...

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    That's something I've been wondering a while and never got around to asking. So the bullet lands at B and not A?
