I would say for that price, Tikka or Remington action Proof Research Barrel and an MDT Hntr 26 stock. Ultra modular stock that weighs 26 oz. Get the one that folds so you can pack it around with a Silencer on it and still be shorter length.
I do own two Christensen Arms Rifles both shoot...
Hauling large animals is easier in a truck. If you deer hunting we'll a SUV will work. Loading up an elk in a Toyota RAV4 might be difficult. With a canopy the bed can be set up nice for camping. Cot with gear under it on one side, table with cooking on the other.
I like backfire but he is too chummy with the owner. He normally gives good reviews but he gets a long with the owner so he failed to discuss the customer service problems.
My F350 is awesome. Got the Tremor package with the Diesel. If I drive normal it gets me 18 to 21 depending on speed. No complaints. Hauling farm equipment around and big goosenecks it is thebway to go. In a field that is a little soft, well that front end weight can become a problem...
I picked up a bench from Costco. The work bench is great. One thing often overlooked is plugs and lighting. You will need more plugs than you think and always more light.
I watched a coffee guy on YouTube rating coffees. Well he rated different backpacking coffee setups and the results. His recommendations for those that like cream and sugar was perfect for me. It is actually pretty good and pretty cheap.
I rub mine with mustard to hold the seasoning on. The mustard will hold the rub like glue. I also run mine on the smoke much longer. Your temp was right, maybe to fast that is all I can think of.
It has been done because your body digest the deer meat. Digestion breaks it down to the basic nutrients. Maybe if you freebase some deer chops or mainline it that would help. I smoked some but I think that was different.
Never seen primer change do that big of a change. If the only difference is the primer, well it must be the primer. You say nothing else changed, well then it is the primer. I could see it if you had moved from a large rifle to a magnum but just brands should not do that, but apparently it can.
I have them on two Christensen Arms. One 6.5 PRC and the other 300 RUM. No problems at all. I normally like to lap my rings. Not needed with these. Holding up well a few years in..
Did one Sheep hunt with a friend. Legs legs and cardio, do it with pack and weight. Lots of hiking is the best, up hills if you can. I went every other day to our archery range here. I carried my pack with 15 to 30 lbs and my bow. I would hike the targets and stop every 5th one to shoot...
I have seen one at the range. Guy was holding good groups. If you are going 7.62 x 39 it will be great for Subsonics. If your going 556 I would buy the Tikka. The Tikka is a smother action. For a Subsonic though it should be fun.
We have people that come to the house and will do it. I have had to do the long walk when I was younger. If they could not come to the house, I would do it myself. The stress my dog feels at the vet. No way is that how he checks out. His last memory will not be a vets office. I think...
My cell is in my bino harness. Power pack in water tight and in top of pack lid. My cell is usually in airplane mode to save power and everything is minimized except my GoHunt app. That app has the area pre downloaded so its a go.
Of all the rifles discussed, well Tikka is a great buy. If your going to change things on it well then the Christensen starts looking better deal. The Savage UL is no joke either. Both my CA shoot well. 5 shot groups under an inch usually .6 to .8. Just picked up a Savage 110 Scout in 308...
Well every bear I have shot has been with a bow. So the penetration thing of a side arm or rifle is not my thing. I thought the whole discussion was on protection from bears, like the one that worry me and those ones are not black. I have never had a problem with black bears here in...
