    Milsurp hunting

    I had a Mosin Nagant that killed stuff just like any other bolt gun.

    Best way to carry with FHF Chest Rig [whoops]

    Looks like first having a magazine, preferably a loaded one, would be a good addition. Looks like they are walking on a range though. So just checking targets?

    Any PRS guys?

    They must have some interesting PRS matches in Alaska.

    Any PRS guys?

    I have 2 rifles. Both started as Remington SPS varmint. They were less than $500 each new when purchased. .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Replaced stocks, triggers, cut to 22” and threaded. Both shoot better than they have any business doing. For a casual competition rifle 6.5 creedmoor is hard to...

    Baby otter or fisher?

    Not sure…the pointy looking ears throw me off. Them ears look like Marten. Fisher and mink tend to have round ears. Not sure why size would be that of a full grown mink. The Oxalis next to its head makes it look much smaller than an adult mink.

    Lightweight Rifles

    For me the 7.5-8.5lb range is the best compromise and 8.5 to 9.5lb I tend to shoot better in field positions. Once I get over 9lb it gets exponentially more annoying to carry in the field. I've gone as light as 5.5 and I'm just no good off-hand or in field positions at that weight.

    Rebarreling Long Action Kimber Montana 84L to Short Action Cartridge

    I'm not sure how much the 7mm-08 would benefit from loading out long. I'm guessing you could run 162's or 180's out long and it would give a little more room for powder. Maybe stuff it full of RE17 or RE26 and get a bit more velocity. Like mentioned above, I don't think you'd outrun a 280 that...

    Anyone build barns? bigger pole barn in shallower soil?

    The poles sank in the ground are what provide the wind shear for the building. Pole buildings aren’t framed and sheathed to provide the lateral stability like stick framed are. I’m pretty sure if you can’t sink the poles 4 or 5 feet in good soil, a standard pole building would be out of...

    Aero Precision Bolt Action! "SOLUS" I'm in Love!

    That would be about the right target date if looking to develop a product that would could be sold during a resurgence of the Assault Weapons Ban. Not having a folding stock would fall in line as well.

    That dude is awesome. Sweet design for a bolt and action.

    Bedding question for the resident gunsmith's--barrel channel

    I bed under the shank a little depending on my seat-o-the pants assessment of the situation. Like how heavy is the barrel, how flimsy the action, how flimsy the stock. An aluminum chassis is quite stiff. The B&C fiber reinforced foam stock my kids rifle is in is the opposite of stiff. It...

    Interesting development for the sig cross. 300 Win Mag

    Are you part of the advertising team? You’ve posted the same video twice this morning. What gives?

    Micro magnum actions

    With the Howa mini with 6.5 Grendel and 6 ARC there isn’t much more to want. Maybe you could stuff a WSSM in there and get another couple hundred fps.

    How do you keep moisture out of safe??

    Mines in a temp controlled room with concrete floor. Never had rust issues, but never ran without the dehumidifiers.

    Fierce Firearms Disaster

    That’s a bunch of cracking off with big shells and a muzzle brake to be doing with no hearing protection. Ouch!!

    How do you keep moisture out of safe??

    I have 3 or 4 of the electric recharge safe dehumidifiers. They are a desiccant container that you plug into an outlet for a day or so to recharge(dry) and then put back in the safe. I run 2 per safe and recharge them as the indicator changes color. SnapSafe is one brand, but I have a few...

    Hornady ELD-X Ammo issues

    LOL, drug it with my rig. Was getting it out of the pasture and out of the sight of snowflakes so I could field dress and break it down. Was a damage control hunt. Best to keep things low key.

    OPTIC TIME STUCK!Need all the insight I can get!

    I have the SLC’s and chose them over the EL’s just due to feel, familiarity, and tripod stud mounting. They were an ounce or two lighter as well, and cheaper. Really the two are so close as to not matter, just pick what your preference suggests. I believe 10x to be the most versatile...
