    Seekins havak element

    I just ordered a 6.5 PRC Havak Element - haven't taken possession yet, but called Seekins to inquire about installing a short ARCA rail in front of the magazine and a short Picatinny rail at the forend. Seekins has a service that will mill out and install a 2 slot Integrated Rail Attachment...

    Archery Elk shoulder blade shot

    Maybe I hit the ridge - Idk. My arrow broke off at the broadhead and was laying 5 yards from where the bull was standing when I shot.

    DIY Freeze Dried Recipes

    I bought a Harvest Right last year - I don't necessarily think you need a specific recipe - if you make a meal that you like, just run it through the machine. The one recommendation I would make for meals is to choose meals that are moist when you are done with the preparation - like chili or...

    Archery Elk shoulder blade shot

    How thick/thin do you think the bone was at that spot? I'm guessing, but I believe the bull I lost was hit about half way up from your shot to the top of the blade. I felt like if I was 4-5" to the left (I was looking at the bulls right side) I would've just clipped the blade and killed the...

    Archery Elk shoulder blade shot

    I'd like to see pictures of the scapula from those claiming to pass through. I hit a bull what I think was dead center of the scapula this past season and got maybe 3/4" penetration. 40 yard shot, Kudu 100 grain, carbon maxima arrow - not sure total weight, 68lbs compound. The bull ran 20...

    SO redcliff features

    I have the Dyneema Redcliff and the SXL w/ 8 ft stove pipe - I would highly recommend the liners - if you use the stove in cold weather, condensation will rain down on the interior. The liner will keep you and your gear dry. I'm not sure if Seek has changed the way the liner attaches, but I...

    Muzzle Break or Suppressor?

    Yeah - the wait period and extra weight to pack into the backcountry have been my holdout. However, I just ordered my first suppressor over the weekend so I'm still in the Germinal stage of my suppressor pregnancy...

    Muzzle Break or Suppressor?

    Interesting results - when I think about the hunters I've encountered in the field, I'd estimate 1:20 are packing a suppressor.

    Suppressors

    Thanks for the explanation. I figured there must be a way to transfer - I think the kid in the booth was trying to scare tactic me into canceling my order and move it to him. I'm in the process of buying a Seekins Havak Element 6.5 PRC so I decided to order the Scythe Ti. I've got a couple...

    Suppressors

    After reading some posts I decided to put an order in for my first can with Capitol Armory - I ordered as an individual and will inquire about putting the purchase into an NFA trust. Capitol's website seems to indicate that can be done up until certain forms are submitted. Interestingly...

    DOPE not matching Ballistics Calculator

    I would probably start by double checking that the rail, ring bases, and rings are all appropriately torqued. I had a gun with a NF scope that had been in a safe for over a year - I have no idea how it could have happened, but 4 of the 8 ring screws were under the recommended torque spec when I...

    Backfire Backstop Recoil Pad

    I just ordered a Backstop for my HNT26 on Feb 1, 2024 - the pad arrived today. I didn't see any kind of order confirmation or update until they shipped the pad so for 6 days I was kind of wondering if my order had a glitch - maybe I missed a confirmation in a spam filter or something - idk...

    One leg shorter than the other

    My dad was in a serious car accident in his 20s (83 now). He had a portion of his femur removed and bolted back together. He's always had a custom 1" heal/sole lift added to his boots & shoes. I think the boot/shoe lift was an acceptable "fix" - not sure what else he could have done. He's...

    4-Day Backpack Gear List - any advice on cutting weight?

    Who "owns" the threads on RS?

    Same - that's why I was wondering what an AI generated image of him would look like. 🤣
