    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    That exact scenario with a Bull made me swear off them forever. All 5 shots were double lung.

    2025 Mathew’s Bows

    Dealers are going to L.O.V.E that they have to stock 4 models now. Absolutely LOVE it. That Shale color sure is pretty though.

    Favorite overall Suppressor

    Silencerco Scythe. I like it so much I'm buying a second one. The perfect hunting can IMHO. Light, short, quiet, 30cal. Done.

    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    We have been carrying a light carbon full height ball head tripod on every hunt this year. Out of 8 animals my family shot this season, 6 were shot off the tripod. It truly is a game changer for stability in virtually situations, ESPECIALLY when you need to take a sitting shot due to terrain or...

    Looking for a new caliber (need recommendations)

    I'm buying 6ARC ELD-Ms for the same price as 223 ELD-Ms. That's kind of why I skipped the 223 rec. But a 223 shooting white box is about as cheap practice as it gets.

    Simple Field Watch recommendations

    Love my Hamilton Khaki Navy for this type of thing. I rarely wear watches any more but if I wanted one for field use, that's where I'd go.

    Looking for a new caliber (need recommendations)

    You have everything covered already. Buy a rifles $$$$ worth of ammo for your 6ARC and shoot the crap out of it.

    Scope Alignment Issue?

    It's so interesting watching the people that say an initial 10 shot group wastes ammo spend multiple boxes chasing single shots around a target. Not saying the OP said that, just a comment. OP. Shoot 10 shots. Find the center of that group. Move your reticle to that spot and fire one shot to...

    What is "proper cheek weld" I'm getting different advice

    As said above make sure your spine is square. A line should run down the barrel to your shoulder to your hip socket. Check this every time by closing your eyes and checking natural point of aim. This will show any excess pressure not just with the cheek but anywhere. Once I show people how to...

    Howa Short Action Bolt Swap Question

    I found that guy too. That's probably the direction I'll go and then just sell the 223 bolt. hopefully...

    Initial Ascent comfort with light loads

    You guys that are having issues with the SG X-curve. Have you tried the Krux? I have heard from SG multiple times that most people fit the Krux significantly better. The Krux was significantly better for me when I tried them at the factory store.

    Do it all barrel contour

    Just take the minimum elevation and maximum temp you hunt in and that will get you close enough. Higher and colder will extend that distance. This isn't an exact thing because you never know exactly what MV you will have until to shoot the thing. You are just looking to see if, for example, you...

    Howa Short Action Bolt Swap Question

    I have this older Howa short action 223. It never gets shot since I bought the Tikka 223. I want to put a 6 Creed barrel on it so I'll actually use it. The bolt face is the last piece of the puzzle. Is the bolt swap as easy as finding a 0.470 bolt face used bolt and swapping them out?

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Pulled the other half of that bullet out of the muley. Man these ELD-Ms get gnarly.

    Do it all barrel contour

    The general thought process is that you first pick a bullet. That bullet will upset down to a specific FPS. Then you decide what your max killing distance will be. Only then do you decide the actual head stamp. If your bullet upsets at 1800FPS and you need to kill at 450 yards max having a...

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40mm Q&A

    I went S&B Klassik on the rifle referenced above and have zero regrets. In fact, that scope might be replacing at least one of my Tenmiles.

    6ARC is what 6.5 Grendel wishes it was.

    7mm Soul Searching

    A 6.5 pound 6mm will be waaaaaay more fun carrying around the mountains and shoot waaaaaaay better than an 8# 7mm magnum of any flavor. Did that this year and will never go back.
