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

    Precisely why I started this thread. To encourage objective and critical thinking and applying the same. Its not about “I like...I think…I feel…” an echo chamber or “whatever works for you”.

    Have T3x Lite Compact .223 - next up .270 low recoil?

    There is ZERO chance I’d recommend anything besides a Tikka Compact T3x .223 w/UM or SWFA T084 rings, SWFA 6x milquad mil/mil and 77TMKs. Z E R O! She is nine! Give her a reliable delivery system built around a capable bullet with the lowest recoil and highest hit rates! Set her up for...

    Adult Tonsillectomy

    It hurts. STOOL SOFTENERS and hydration! Start the stool softeners EARLY! Swallowing water is hard. Drink it anyway. A lot of it. Regularly. Worth it in the end.

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

    This concerns me. Im all about taking kids hunting and I get it. There is a HUGE difference between understanding basic firearms safety and shot placement vs being a rifleman killing big bears. Understanding how to effectively run a gun, the complete shot process, having maturity and...

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

    T3x Compact cut and threaded with a can, vertical grip, UM or Sportsmatch T084 rings with a SWFA 6x milquad mil/mil is the simplest ‘easy button’ solution.

    Hunting bears with a portable treestand in North Idaho? (Spring 2024)

    Put out a few baits and crawl into your stands. Kill some bears, fill your freezers and help the fawns/calves.
