    Oryx -- long term (?) strategy

    Hi all! Oryx is one of the animals that I'd love to hunt -- eventually. Not in a mad rush as I am very much still starting out, learning to figure out my local blackmail, hoping to learn how to hunt elk in the west in general, and just become a better hunter all around. But oryx are definitely...

    Tikka T3x superlite -- what to improve and mod?

    Yeah definitely very very tempted by that. I guess my wallet/wife can be happy that right now it's not an option

    Tikka T3x superlite -- what to improve and mod?

    I am assuming I'd either need the barrel shortened and then threaded or just get a new barrel that's already threaded. How long do you recommend to go with barrel alone on a 7mm rem mag? I am mostly shooting mono metal bullets. In that case of getting a custom barrel ... I might as well switch...

    Tikka T3x superlite -- what to improve and mod?

    I have a Tikka T3X superlite in 7mm rem mag, with a Maven RS1.2 in MIL mounted on the built in base with Warne low Tikka turrets. I already filed down the plastic that "supports" the barrel and can now move a three times folded sheet of paper all the way to the action block. I lowered the...

    Tikka t3x superlite in 7mm rem mag and Barnes LRX 139grain -- disastrous grouping

    Thanks a lot for all the advice! Excited to spend some time cleaning out the barrel and trying again. I actually bought several boxes of the TTSX and only one of the LRX because of what was in store, so looks like I might have gotten "lucky" that way..

    Tikka t3x superlite in 7mm rem mag and Barnes LRX 139grain -- disastrous grouping

    My tikka in 7mm rem mag shoots cheap seller &belliot decently well-- about 2 moa at 200 yards and there's a lot of my own wiggle and error in there. Barnes ttsx boat tail in 150 grain also shoot ok -- when switching ammo, I had to rezero because they landed about 2 MOA to the right. Not sure...

    Talk me out of a NeoAir XTherm NXT

    Mine arrived with tears on both front and back :/ will see if the replacement model is fine -- and overall does feel like thinner fabric than my exped so let's see how long it holds up.

    Washington High Buck

    Are buck to doe ratios even particularly low in the wilderness areas? Like, above some ~20:100 ratio or so, there's no way removing bulls has any impact on fawn recruitment (except perhaps a positive one if it lowers food competition for pregnant does.. )

    Washington High Buck

    When deciding what seasons to ban in order to protect declining resources -- if we want to go into that direction at all, versus investing in protecting and strengthening the resource, be it predator control, habitat improvements, etc -- one should ban the highest success rate hunts first. The...

    Leofoto LQ-284C killer deal on eBay

    BTW they currently have 323 in both LS and SA versions for sub $200. With heads. On that note, does anyone know if the SA vs LS designation matters? I know people here have recommended the anvil knockoff MA-30 but looks like of the currently ultra cheap ones they don't come with that. Does...

    Any experience with Leofoto MH heads

    Apologoes for reviving this old thread but what's the advantage of the MA-30 over the MH-40? Looks like the latter is a little heavier -- but is it also worse for shooting?

    Moose hunt in Finland (or Sweden)

    Like most here, I have started to dutifully put in my credit card details every year and hope for a lightning bolt of good luck/ wait my turn for the next 30 years. My wife is from Finland and her uncle is a very committed hunter in Finland, so she did ask me -- why are you bothering? I...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    definitely a scary prospect! cant allow assault rifles to be even more dangerous by giving them bolt action levels of accuracy! on the commite state, yeah, it's not great for many things, but I do like the very non-commie tax code :) leaves more money for applying for tags out of state.. And I...

    Drew Utah-Monroe October Rifle -- guide or DIY as first timer?

    Yupp, i got lucky beyond my wildest imagination. I am pretty new to this game so my most points anywhere are home state WA limited entry units and Wyoming (2 each .. ) and 1 in some other states ... [Nevada, Utah for not-elk!, Montana]. I didnt enter AZ because it felt extremely out of reach...
