    Tikka "Rokslide Special", let's see 'em

    I'm going to try not to derail the thread too much here but that has got to be one of the most ridiculous nonsense laws I've ever heard. I sure hope its one of those that's not strongly enforced and most law enforcement officers over look that. If my kids are under my watch and being safe, I...

    Bourbon

    My go to is Wild Turkey 101. If you want to save some coin a really good bourbon for the money is JTS Brown. Don't let the price fool you, it definitely punches above its price range. On the higher end stuff I'd have to go; Bakers 7yr, Bookers, Eagle Rare, EH Taylor, and Willett.

    Perishable skills

    It still shoots decent enough to head shot squirrels. I don't know the exact round count but I'd say upwards of 20k. So maybe not tens of thousands but two tens of thousands lol. From the ages of 9-13 I would go through at least four bricks a year. I'd get two for Christmas and two for my...

    Perishable skills

    Shooting is definitely a skill that needs constant attention to keep sharp on. I feel like this is where having a .22 or .223 trainer set up identical to a larger caliber helps substantially with staying familiar with your system. I go long stretches without doing any pistol practice and it...

    Which states prohibit or limit field-quartering of big game?

    In Kentucky you can telecheck you deer and once you do that and fill out your harvest log, you're good to do with it as you please. I can't find the regulations saying its okay to quarter but in recent years KDWF has released a youtube video on how to quarter and a published article, linked...

    Smallest pack with a load shelf?

    If you're going for smallest pack, I'd say the MR mule on a guidelight mt frame. I think it weighs about 4ish lbs and is 23L

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    I'll throw my opinion in on the matter from my experiences. When I was younger I worked as a stock/bag boy at a local grocery store that was the go to store for one of the four local stations in town. The guys would always come in the fire engine, the entire crew. When they'd pull in you'd...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    Hopefully it's not just a pipe dream. They listened before and I think it has and will continue to pay off for them. Not sure how many units they had but I bet they didn't expect to sell out or to sell out that quick.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    I'd love to see this scope made with that new reticle and possibly with exposed elevation turret

    Best bang for the buck 6.5cm practice ammo 2023

    I've shoot a couple boxes of the Freedom Munitions 140gr bthp and it's pretty good. I wouldn't say a direct equivalent to the American gunner but close enough since that stuff I unavailable and good for the price. I kick myself for not buying another two 200rd cans of it when I caught a deal...

    A simple question.

    Yeah no chance that could be considered a 22" barrel. ^^this could be likely but I doubt dude selling measured the rifling, plus that's not the "proper" way. It's definitely a 24.3" barrel. I have a super lite 6.5 and that's exactly what it is.

    Well I caved, down the hole I go….(update)

    I've got two boxes of it and a few others to try. Going to be after the holidays before I get a chance to go shoot unfortunately. Dang work and family obligations, always getting in the way of a good time 😆

    China Invades!

    I'd hands down take a suppressed .22 pistol with a brick of subs over a bow few dozen arrows. I can do just about everything with that pistol that I could a bow. Even take big game within a reasonable range, 20-30yds. A .22 to the ear hole will take a deer down quick and no tracking. Add: laws...

    China Invades!

    Red Dawn scenario (sorry missed that in the original post) I'm taking my defend list but adding the .22 pistol. Would use it for taking small game suppressed so not to give away location. Also be good to have in those late night sneaky situations that you enter enemy territory and want to keep...

    NF SHV 3-10x40mm Q&A

    What scope caps are you using? I assume they're good to go and function well or you wouldn't have them on there. Have a couple shv 3-10x42 scopes and been wanting to pick up some decent caps. Thanks

    Well I caved, down the hole I go….(update)

    Definitely my thoughts when I purchased it. Maybe a 6arc or 6cm later on down the road 🤔

    Well I caved, down the hole I go….(update)

    I too just recently picked up a tikka 243, a stainless lite. It's a 1:10 however but I couldn't resist the price plus the rebate. I don't reload so I figured the slower twist won't matter that much to me with factory bullet options. I'll probably do something boring with it like put an...
