    Dyneema 101

    Dyneema is a brand name of a material. There's other versions of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE). Just wanted to be sure people don't get wrapped up in a name.

    Anyone sewing canvas?

    Learn some basic sewing and sewing machine use, study different stitches, learn what they are used for, and get out your best scissors. I had to learn a bit about the fabric/industrial sewing industry for Quality Assurance. REALLY opened my eyes to how many steps there are as well as the...

    A few sewing questions

    I bet you could use some 10-20lb fishing braid. Top that with some good wax. If your stitching is good it would take two freight trains to tear the seams apart I bet.

    6.5 PRC - 6.5 Creedmoor - life of a Carbon Barrel

    Given barrels of reasonably the same quality, barrel life these days is almost a mute point. Even backyard shed "gunsmiths" can change out a barrel (a little humor there). So buy what you want, get out there and shoot them. If you reasonably keep track of your shooting thru your rifles you...

    Self pep talks

    To the OP: Last I knew people with those problems become Game Wardens or go Vegan.

    Benefits of a high end action

    Reply: Well if your "high end rifle" NEEDS hand loads to get you to 0.4" well.......you got problems OR you are the problem. I'll agree...if a user is good with MOA then so be it. Bet no one goes into a LGS asking for the cheapest rifle they can buy, dresses it with a Tasco, and dime store...

    Benefits of a high end action

    You don't need "custom" loads with high end build. Yes, it's not going to hurt but you sure don't need them. I say this after buying/using a LRI built/blueprinted R700 w/carbon barrel with multiple brands of off the shelf ammunition. I thought I had an ammo problem, I figured out it was my...

    Benefits of a high end action

    If you measure your shot groups by half an inch, you should understand why you need to judge your action by the thousandths of an inch. As one person posted above: Building a rifle with your own hands using damn near custom built components will achieve greater returns. It's another trip...

    Long distance shooting

    Long distance is relative to your experience not your equipment.

    Seekins Precision (USA) - Legit?

    Scam....If anything send Seekins Precision an email with the link. They can get it down or post on their FB to stay away. If you want a PH2 there's plenty out there, just depends on the caliber.

    Porky rifle wanted

    Well not sure what you "really" want but stainless action/barreled isn't hard to find. Might be more difficult to find your choice caliber or stock style. Seekins Precision PH1 SA (pick your own caliber) under 7lbs: With optics/rings/muzzle device I'm still under 10lbs. Fits what you are...

    6cm or 6.5cm?

    I was looking for a 130gr 6.5CM hunting round as an alternative to the normal stuff people use. I found a video about the specific ammunition I had discovered Fiocchi Extrema that uses Scirocco II bullets. Just happened across a video that shows the chrono speeds over 2600+MV with most...

    Setting up a 4 person hunt with 3 Newbs, what would you suggest???

    Sounds like Henway might be in season. So it would be a good time.

    Missed/non-recovered game

    Shot placement and the ability to track thru the woods would be my suspected reasons people can't find their game after the shot. I've walked plenty through the woods. I try to take mental notes on what's going on by what's on the ground, what's happened to the vegetation, where is the...

    2k for 6.5 creedmoor

    Just snagged a Seekins Havak PH2 myself under $1800 out the door. Bare rifle on the scales 6lbs 14 oz no muzzle device. I'm sure you could buy cheaper considering with the Havak you would still need to add a scope, rings, and possibly a muzzle device.

    Does this come with the shims or does it need shims??

    Cabelas meat grinders

    Given the expected use as well as future use one might desire, buy the biggest you are willing to afford. I got a Weston Pro #22 since I had the idea to grind up fresh food for my dogs. I sifted through reviews and videos to settle on the Pro #22. This thing just chews thru just about...

    Looking for some advice/direction for a rifle with a 20” carbon barrel

    Pound for pound a carbon-vs-steel barrel debate is a hard decision. Carbon looks/sounds like it should be lighter....but that's not always the case. I've got two rifles of two different setups in a SA setup. One a Proof carbon barrel, one a steel barrel with fluting. The complete rifles are...

    Expanding your sleeping bag's range : bag liner or over bag which is better ?

    I didn't really see it covered so I'll just speak for my experiences. 1) Get off the ground, meaning the least amount of direct ground contact possible. Air mattress or just use the area foliage to build a bed. Something like 2-3" stacked will crush down overnight but then you can...
