    Looking for a new rifle - Recommendations

    Since you like to target shoot. Get the Tikka in 6.5 Creedmoor. It will handle everything as long as you do your job. Quality bullets as well. I cannot stress that enough Quality Bullets. Oh, upgrade the reciol pad on the Tikka. You could get it in 308 but the 6.5 will target shoot...

    Heating cargo trailer and O2

    I have seen one that run on pellets too. That one is the best way to go I think.

    Heating cargo trailer and O2

    An electrical heater will eat power. You would need a bunch of batteries or a generator to run one. Better off with an electric blanket instead.

    A marine propane heater doesnt use batteries. There is also a wood burner on as well.

    Broadhead

    Slick Tricks. Killed a lot of elk with them. They just fly so well.

    6.8 Western

    I think the guy from Backfire actually did a video. The rifles I thought where to hit this summer. Twist was 1 in 8.

    6.8 Western

    1. The 270 is always been a long range rifle. That was it appeal before range finders. 2. The Ammo is coming from Winchester. That is what makes it odd. The people that brought you the Western are not helping it sales or look like they will be doing any long term support. It is a nice...

    6.8 Western

    Browning is killing it before it gets started. Shot show this year they are offering a fast barrel twist 270 win. That is all the 6.8 is, a 270 with a faster barrel twist to shoot heavier bullets. You will be better off buying that as it will shoot all 270 loads without problems and the new...

    MKC knife question

    The cord can be replaced if it gets nasty. It will probably not be the most comfortable in your hand, but you are not going to using it for hours. It is lightweight.

    What's your favorite pack/s and what are its purpose/es

    I have been using the KUIU 2300 for a few years. I am only doing day hunts from the trail heads and gates. It is mostly Timber Company land so no camping is allowed. Nice and lightweight, plus it packs out an elk just fine. Great pack.

    Fierce Carbon Rogue

    You rolled the dice and came up 7s. Congrats, the rifle will be nice and looks like problem free. The issue is how they treat the least of us.

    Seekins Element 6.5 PRC or 7 PRC??

    Why would the 7 PRC recoil more than a 300WM? The 7 is not a hyper magnum. It is truly just a 7 Rem in a modern chamber.

    7 PRC vs 7 SAUM vs 280 AI

    7 PRC. The reason is easy. It is the chamber. Tolerance are super tight on it. The reason it is great. 7mm Saum ect have custom chambers for long bullets and barrels with faster twist rate to stabilize them. Well the 7 PRC was designed to give you that in a factory chambering. Which...

    Why do they make spotters above 40x?

    Trying to judge a Ram is hard. I have used the hell out of 60x. Then added the phone scope and zoomed in more. Judging elk, deer and bears all the time. My eyes cover the ground not my feet.

    Winter Kill

    There is no treatment for blue tongue. The deer all die that catch it. First freeze deals with it.

    Winter Kill

    None of my buddies in Eastern Washington have seen winter kill. Remember there was a massive blue tongue kill 2 years ago. That was devastating. Deer numbers are still way down from that.

    You could go crazy. Super short AR setup for CC in 450 Bushmaster. Load it up with some HSM Bear Load 450 Bushmaster 300gr JFP Rifle Ammo. Those are Jacketed Flat Points packing 2400 Foot Pounds. That should solve penetration problems. Plus you can dump a 20 round mag in a few Seconds...
