    Sold KRG minimalist spigot and Bravo bag rider

    Catch and release from a package deal I bought on here. I mounted the spigot to a bravo, never actually used it. The bag rider has been used but is in great shape. Both come with all the factory hardware. $65 TYD for both, paypal f&f or add 3% for g&s.

    WTT Trade UM tikka 30mm lows for mediums.

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

    Do you have an eldm/vld seating stem? I cant fit that much varget in a case at mag length like that without making a pretty substantial dent in the bullet. I loaded a few with 24 grains, they shot fine still but look terrible.

    My BIL and I have killed quite a few hogs with those this year, they work fine. And the price is hard to beat.

    Blind Texas DIY hog hunt?

    Yeah, Texas sucks for public hunting opportunities. I’m extremely fortunate in the fact that my FIL manages a couple decent sized farms that I can hunt on. As far as baiting, I will often have hogs show up the first night but I know the area and can usually place bait upwind of their bedding...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Last year I was shooting at a public range with my completely stock tikka t3 .243 Some guy walked up and asked if I was shooting a 300 win mag, because “the rifle looked like a magnum”

    Lol. You reminded me of a review I found the other day while looking at a suppressor. Had to screenshot to send to a buddy.

    What's your most accurate hunting rifle?

    My tikka .243 will do around 1.25” for ten shots.

    Auodad in Texas

    I may have the opportunity this winter to tag along on a management hunt and kill some ewes, had a question about cooking the meat. Is Auodad safe to eat medium rare like elk and deer? If it works to go, and I manage to kill one, I’m planning on grinding the meat with added beef fat, same as I...

    How long of a barrel are you wanting to run? 2650-2700 fps mv should keep you above 1800 out to 600 yards with the 80eldm.

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

    I’ve shot quite a few hogs with them. Nothing at very long range, so I cant speak to how they would perform at lower impact velocity. So far everything has been inside of 125ish yards, and they have performed well at that range/velocity.

    Why I won’t buy a Tikka

    Lol, I got thru the whole post and was thinking the exact same thing. Didn’t realize I’d misread till I saw your comment.

    The 6UM

    The biggest question I have is how many feet thick was the giraffes chest, and how much did it deflate after getting shot?
