    Welcome to Rokslide! That's an impressive bull.

    Crispi Laponias II: Cream or Spray??

    Both crispi products, spray and cream, will darken the leather compared to when new. For my lapponia's I've been using the cream on the leather first and then the spray on the synthetic uppers. The cream penetrates and hydrates the leather much better than the spray. It gets a little bit of the...

    Where to get Cut and Thread?

    SC says they will cut and crown for $70. The thing that stands out to me is the service for checking threads/alignment is another $25. Quality should be built into the job, not an add on service. It's not about the cost, they could just increase the price of the thread job by $25, but don't...

    223 1:10 Twist Ammo Recommendation

    Hornady recommends 1:8 twist for the 73 eldm. Could be worth a try still. Factory ammo is available.

    Which rifle would you choose?

    Asking this question on Rokslide yields a very predictable answer: Tikka T3X. And then we'll advise you to sell it, or to rebarrel and swap the bolt so you can shoot a caliber that you can spot your shots with and that you'll enjoy shooting enough to increase proficiency. And that shooting a...

    Swfa zero stop shims ?

    Those look great! I like how they are marked for how many revolutions they shim.

    Swfa zero stop shims ?

    The turret and shims should be the same on the SWFA SS 6X, 10X, and 3-15X. The HD 3-9 turrets are shorter and a different diameter.

    Cool, thanks for sharing! I'm going to see if my brother in law can print this.

    Nice! Perspective is a funny thing.

    Boot recommendation for elk

    I wear wide toe box shoes most of the time like vivo's, altra and lems and I have never seen a boot with a toe box shaped like the Meindl boots you mentioned. Do they really curve like that?

    How long can elk stay in a freezer?

    Last year in elk camp one of my friends brought some elk steaks that had been in his freezer for about 10 years. It tasted great! It seems like if it's handled well in the field, wrapped thoroughly to prevent freezer burn, and kept from ever thawing, meat can last a long time.

    New rimfire cartridge 21 Sharp

    Bingo! Maybe 21 Sharp solves a problem for some other corner of the market, but I'm just not seeing it.

    Onx code?

    I've used "Rokcast" to get 20% off.

    Light weight fixed angle knife sharpener?

    The MKC version doesn't have all the capabilities of the similar work sharp but it weighs 2 oz less and is probably the closest answer to what @TimberHunter asked for. It's the first time I've seen an MKC product that I would actually consider buying. Doesn't even look like you have to wait for...

    Light weight fixed angle knife sharpener?

    Agreed, the Spyderco Sharpmaker is great for home use, at the truck, or a base camp. It simplifies angles and I'd highly recommend it to the OP, just not for backcountry field use.

    Light weight fixed angle knife sharpener?

    Consistency matters more than the exact angle, 15 vs 17 vs 20 degrees. Developing the skill of free hand sharpening with a small stone takes some time, but is well worth it and yields a better result than those pull through options that absolutely change the geometry of the edge. One of my...

    Target bullets on bone pictures

    Here's my blacktail buck from last year. 168 AMAX from a .308, impact velocity 2428 fps, 130 yards. Distance traveled 3 yards, dropped immediately, kicked and rolled downhill then stopped. Bullet entered behind onside shoulder, hole punched the fifth rib from the front, fragmented through the...

    New rimfire cartridge 21 Sharp

    They really pat themselves on the back in that Winchester blog post. The three initial ammo types are all supersonic, which immediately makes me lose interest because one of the best things about 22LR is accurate and quiet subsonic ammo for shooting suppressed.

    New rimfire cartridge 21 Sharp

    Yeah, I reach for rimfire because it's inexpensive, plentiful (except for shortages every so often) and fun. I agree that it will be hard for 21 Sharp to be successful if it doesn't have a lot in common with what has made 22LR so popular. Some shooters take rimfire much more seriously and...

    New rimfire cartridge 21 Sharp

    A new rimfire cartridge called 21 Sharp was officially introduced today by Wichester. There have been rumblings about it for several months as SAAMI data started to be published. It sounds like their intent is to move away from the "heeled" 22LR lead bullets that are not optimized for...
