    New rifle choices

    I didnt see that, my bad. Rokstock and stockys are coming out with a model 70 stock that may fit a lot of his preferences. Could be a cool upgrade and I might get a couple of them for my model 70s

    Black Bear hunting resources

    Doug’s book is good. Find the food and bear sign. Sit and watch the food source patiently. They can pop out of nowhere when you least expect it

    Ruger Hawkeye Controlled Round Feed

    Just hoping to hear people’s thoughts and experiences regarding the Ruger Hawkeye CRF action and how it compares to a Model 70 or other CRF actions. My experience with the two Rugers I have owned (one Hawkeye and one m77 mark ii) is that the controlled round feed only partially works. The claw...

    Who here hunts with AICS mags in a bolt action

    How do you like them? Do you ever have to worry about the magazine dropping out of the rifle if it gets caught on thick brush? Lots of thick stuff up here in AK to bushwhack through How comfortable is carrying a rifle with AICS mags. Seems the magazine would dig into you if you slung the rifle...

    Toughest hunt of your life?

    Not the toughest hunt, but one of the more miserable. It almost never stopped raining that incessant Alaska drizzle. By the end, almost everything was wet. Then we almost lost it all in a log jam (there’s an outboard motor on the back of that canoe), and my hunting buddy was fortunate to get out...

    Leupold zero retention poll

    Great comments all. The poll is painting a rough outline, though I also realize it’s not that simple.

    Leupold zero retention poll

    I just checked to edit the poll for that option and it won’t let me. All I can do is add options. Checking zero was meant to mean going to a range, setting up a paper target, and checking zero. Of course, we could go down the rabbit hole of #of shots per group, but for a simple survey that gets...

    Leupold zero retention poll

    I thought of adding tracking to the poll but thought it may get too noisy to start.

    Leupold zero retention poll

    I wanted to get a better community pulse on the subject. I know this isn’t a perfect way to collect data - there are different variables at play a survey can’t account for; but, it’s better than a long thread.
