    Prairie dog rifle

    Half the fun of shooting prairie dogs is seeing the impacts in the scope. With anything larger than a 223 that starts to get pretty hard to do, and the 223 can still be tough sometimes to see the impacts if it’s not a pretty heavy rifle. I like 204’s the best because it’s low enough recoil that...

    Jake, do you live in Oregon or Washington? I think I recognize some of the area in your photos

    Finnlight vs T3 Lite

    I don't know what it weighs. I'll see if I can find that postal scale around here tomorrow and throw it on the scale. It's a pretty light rig. Definitely lighter than the Finnlight!

    Finnlight vs T3 Lite

    I've got both the rifles you're talking about. I love the 7-08, and have had as many as 7 at one time before. I currently have a stock Finnlight except I did thread it so I could shoot it suppressed (Nomad Ti for an ultralight suppressor). I had a stock Tikka T3 that I had cut back to 18" and...

    Federal TBT vs Nosler Accubond for Elk?

    Actually not generally. I think they're amazing bullets, especially if you're going to shoot for bone or high shoulder type shots. I'm a behind the shoulder guy and the Accubond is by far my favorite bullet. It's such a great combination of a bonded bullet that will penetrate, but yet it sheds...

    Federal TBT vs Nosler Accubond for Elk?

    Huntdoc, the Accubond and Partition will act very similar, although the Partition has a slight edge here. They'll both plow on through, although the Partition has a good chance of dropping it's nose and just driving through with the base on a hard shoulder impact. The TBT is gonna just plow...

    Federal TBT vs Nosler Accubond for Elk?

    The Partition is the original controlled expansion premium bullet and is amazing for the fact that it's still a premium bullet and is completely applicable to todays hunting markets. The Partitions design is essentially two cup and core bullets separated by a partition. The front of the bullet...

    Reticle distortion problem

    That’s an electroform reticle which is metal as you might guess, and it’s not going to break or fail. While you may not like that it has that bend, there’s nothing that’s going to fail. Just shoot it and enjoy.

    Sendero L with can?

    I have several sendero light profile Proof barrels and I use cans on them pretty much exclusively with zero issues. I'm not quite sure what issue there could be...

    Update for suppressor wait times

    I had 2 stamps show up two weeks ago. It was just over 5 months. My dealer has said that’s been about his average lately.

    Ultra 7 Gen 2 or?????

    I've been lucky enough to work a shooting school where I've seen quite a lot of different suppressors used. Thunderbeast makes some seriously good cans and the Ultra 7 is never a bad choice. But I'd rate a couple other brands as solid as well, ones that I thought seemed very much in the same...

    threading tikka superlite

    I've had it done too, but for suppressors. It's absolutely no issue... Try a can instead of that break! You still lose 40% of the recoil, but the muzzle blast is gone. It's a wonderful benefit, and is super fitting for young shooters. I see as much flinching from the muzzle blast as I do from...

    Optics opinions - Start from scratch

    Well I live out west and do the types of hunts you’re talking about every year. I live and die by my optics. I could survive with a lesser pair, but the enjoyment is lessened for sure and I used to get a bit sleepy too from the eye strain. It’s common to spend hours a day behind your glass, so...

    LabRadar

    Yes you can get it to trigger with suppressors. I rarely shoot unsuppressed, and it picks the shots up consistently. You generally need to set the Labradar up so it's slightly in front of the muzzle to trigger.

    Who has moved UP in caliber for elk

    When they stop dying with what I'm using, I'll consider a larger faster bullet. And for the record I used to use larger and faster. In the day I shot a 7.82 Warbird, and then a 300 Rum when they came out. And yes they both worked impressively well. But most people can't shoot heavy recoiling...

    Who has moved UP in caliber for elk

    Killed my 4th elk this weekend with a 6.5 Creedmoor. I've killed a lot of elk and it's bullet construction and placement that matter not diameter. I shot this cow at 240 yards and she went 5 feet and dropped. Used a 130 Accubond, and she was pretty much done right then and there. I wish people...

    Blue Loctite / Scope Mounting Question

    Loctite isn't really needed if you actually used a torque wrench and torqued to the manufacturers torque specs. The whole purpose of the torque specs is it stretches the threads of the screw which effectively binds the screw in place. I haven't used loctite in 20 years and I've had zero issues...

    .243win Bullet Choice

    The Ballistic tip was designed by Gail Root at Nosler specifically to be his elk bullet in a .243. He killed a bull every year with that combo. It's a very sturdy little bullet, but will shed a lot of weight up front and make a pretty devastating wound channel, but will still penetrate because...

    Defacing the aesthetics of a fine rifle?

    Once you start shooting suppressed, you generally only shoot suppressed anymore. I don't find guys who own suppressors shooting lots of unsuppressed weapons, meaning your Cooper will generally only be shot with the suppressor on it. I like the way rifles look with the can attached personally...
