    Best current deals on tikka donor.

    I wasn't planning on starting my build this early, but that's almost too good to pass up with the discount code and rebate.

    I bought my son's compact 6.5CM from Family Firearms. They will make you submit your email for a quote. It was priced under what you have listed above. I plan on getting another for my next build.

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    Had some similar experiences as you guys (although not as long or as many miles) on my NM trip. Muscular fatigue was near zero, except for a few sections we were on our tippy toes going up. I am happy with the results considering I started these about 5 weeks before the hunt. 30lbs felt...

    Hunting with supressor vs brake

    I'm relatively new to the suppressor game, but I bought another within a few weeks of shooting my first (if that tells you anything). I really don't want to shoot without one now.

    Injured in the backcountry

    Thanks for sharing your story. Getting injured way back in the rough stuff is always on the back of my mind. I hope you have a speedy recovery and get back after it.

    Howa 1500 6.5 PRC accuracy issues

    Those grouped well. I grabbed another box to foul my bore and check zero after cleaning. More ejector marks and one extremely heavy bolt lift and a drop in velocity. I have also noticed some faint marks on the lapua brass from the berger factory 156s running at 2841 fps avg. I did take a cow...

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    I'm currently on week 4 of Evoke's gym based muscular endurance workout listed on their site and have enjoyed it so far. Very similar to this. Lots of single leg work and heavy legs - especially on the cool down run. https://evokeendurance.com/muscular-endurance-all-you-need-to-know/

    Howa 1500 6.5 PRC accuracy issues

    I had 5 of the 147s left over and used them to get on paper today with a new scope. I had some extractor and ejector marks on a couple of them like pictured before. 2938fps avg. 2959 max.

    Howa 1500 6.5 PRC accuracy issues

    Early on I had pressure signs exactly like that on mine (Hornady factory ammo as well). Even had one with heavy bolt lift. I attributed it to solvent in the chamber since I was doing break in at the time. I've not had any issues since, though. Wondering if it was a Hornady issue?

    Glass Bedding Kit

    Mine most assuredly needed bedding. There was quite a bit of slop with the action in the stock. I ended up doing a full bed. I used Peak44s kit.

    What suppressor are you running on your 6.5prc?

    Right now I have a Nosler SR30K, but will be swapping it over to a different rifle and replacing it with an OCL Hydrogen K 6.5 as soon as the ATF approves it.

    Rucking/Military boot

    I've got a pair of the Lapponia Lites. I would have loved to have them for the field. Lightweight, narrower heel and fairly wide toe box. The soles are a little stiff and hard in my opinion for road marches and ruck runs, but YMMV. A good insole would probably fix the cushioning issue.

    6.5 PRC Sporter Style Hunting Rifle no Can or Brake?

    No issues with my 24" 7.5lb PRC and recoil. I've shot a couple boxes at a time without any discomfort.
