    Fire or no fire

    I’ve personally seen game move off when smoke from a camp was flowing down the drainage more than once. But I’ve often seen the same without the smoke as well. Sat and listened to campers talking off in the distance, ect.. I suspect the animals recognize the increase in traffic, activity...

    Recommendations for Shipping small amounts of meat to friends/family.

    The issues I’ve had involved inadequately trained shipping folks, not actual issues with regulations.

    Recommendations for Shipping small amounts of meat to friends/family.

    Generally for air freight the max is 5.5# of dry ice and you are supposed to put the hazmat label on it for the dry ice. I’ve done that several times, but also had issues with it. I’ve had cases where postal folks at distant hubs that didn’t know the deal decided due to the hazard label that...

    Recommendations for Shipping small amounts of meat to friends/family.

    Box lined with 2” foam, whatever foam is cheapest, probably the white foam. Dry ice if you ship 2 day, ice pack or no if overnight. You’ll just be doing it as a gift. It will not be cost effective. I used to pay $70 to $100-ish to ship halibut and salmon from Washington to mid Texas. I’m...

    So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.

    You can disassemble the bolts. The extractor just slots onto the C ring that’s around the bolt body. Then you can remove the C ring. The fire pin unscrews easily when cocked and center safety position. The bolt handle unscrews. Fairly easy to strip it to just the bolt body. I’d be concerned...

    Patreon members?

    Interesting. I hear the folks ask for Patreon, but never considered paying a radio show host. To me podcasts are just the new “talk radio” shows. I’ve heard the JvB dude on other podcasts. For some reason it seems 80% of what podcasters do is interview other podcasters. I can’t wrap my mind...

    Colorado Wolf Introduction is getting REAL political

    That article makes Colorado wildlife commission politics sound just like Washington wildlife commission politics. It’s a downhill slope.

    You could use the Burris signature rings and a sloped rail to tune your mounting to what you need/want.

    Need a new scope, looking for input

    I’d think the NSX compact would be pretty short for a long action. They fit perfect on a short or medium action though. Post 21 of this thread has a picture. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/nightforce-nxs.253159/page-2

    Best-practice for determining rail-elevation?

    I’d say your musings are correct as to scope travel/rail pitch selection. One other consideration is scope height, cheek weld, bell clearance, ect.. a 20 Moa rail will effect this noticeably. In my line of work we tend to stick to the middle 80% of an adjustment range for mechanical type...

    A lot of love for Tikka around here.

    I bought them because they offered a stainless left hand rifle. I’ve never cared for the Tupperware stocks, the way they will have light primer strikes if they have any oil in the bolt, and the plastic bolt shrouds. They have always seemed to shoot well though, and as long as you keep the...

    McGuire ballistics review

    It’s like a Terminal ascent bred with a Scenar. Price seems pretty steep.

    Help w Rifle Inaccuracy

    Can you post pictures of the groups with shot numbers labeled? Often the characteristics of the groups can hint to the likely cause.

    Best backpack with rifle scabbard

    I build (sew) my own scabbards that I mount on my pack. Lighter, better, more versatile. The ones with the scabbard between the frame and bag space the load out off your back a few inches. In my experience that’s not desirable for load hauling.

    Side Hustle

    With Intel building a big plant up by Columbus I’d think you’d do good to get the skills you’d need to get in on that. Semiconductor industry pays pretty decent.

    Getting 2 Cow Elk Home

    I’m going to assume the walk-in is a cooler and not a freezer. In most freezers it would take a day or more to freeze a bunch of meat. Do you have a big freezer in LA to store the meat if you get it there? Given your “situation” I recommend you locate a processor in the general area of your...

    Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

    Some folks in Wyoming sure seem to like the idea of restricting non-residents from outdoor pursuits. I’m curious what activity they will think of next to try and restrict non-residents on. Maybe fishing, residents get first cast in every hole each morning, or skiing, residents get the first 2...

    Nosler Partition vs nosler accubond

    In my experience the Partition is softer in the front and upsets more initially. The Accubond seems tougher up front and retains 60 to 70% weight consistently. I’ve had no accuracy issues with either. I’ve also not had deformed lead tips cause any effect to accuracy I could see within 300...
