    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Think I'm in this guys corner for the most part. I believe that the ability to kill depends on a shooter that knows how to place his shot with the bullet he's using. If he does pretty much any bullet will kill well. At the same time I think anything below the 25 caliber is taking it to far and...

    The "Helinox roll"

    Ah dam! If that little chair is what your talking about, I couldn't get out of it. Of course, 60 is well behind me. But I do like your dog!

    Best Introductory Camera for Field Photography

    For some reason this does not surprise me. I use a D 7000 and it does all I can ask for. I am not a pro and never will be. But that in mind in the OP's place I'd think strongly about a decent point and shoot camera. I got one to carry on my belt out working with my dog's. Panasonic ZS 100. If it...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Oh boy, drop Washington too. Truth be known even Montana started downhill years ago, was stationed there at a small radar base in Lakeside. Wealthy people from all over the country came in and bought up land around Flathead Lake and built house on it so they could spend a couple weeks in private...

    Anyone pulling an enclosed trailer with a midsize V6?

    Yod add weight to the vehicle and you lose gas mileage. My old Dodge I pulled RV's with got 9mpg pulling and 18mpg not pulling. Chipped it and went to 15mpg pulling and 23 mpg not. Happens with all vehicles! Ya know what would be better than brakes? Learn to drive! American driver as a whole...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    If I were you I'd look into Montana! I live in rural Oregon and would leave if I could afford to. One though, we get city people move into this town I live in, population about 40. They want to leave the city but bring the dam city with them, hate it when they come into town. If your wanting to...

    Enclosed trailer question

    Sounds like you want the enclosed trailer just for towing a car! What might better serve you is renting a trailer. I have never seen an enclosed trailer for hauling cars and the only advantage I can see to one would be protection the car from the elements. In that case unless you cover the front...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Pulling an RV and boat in weather that the draft of a road truck will bother it much won't probably happen that much. The draft certainly can be spooky but unless the road in icy or your in a down pour, isn't gonna wreak you. Bad thing would be getting a dually. On icy roads and probably even...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    I think probably you really don't need a diesel engine. Most people don't. If you were pulling heavy a lot it's a different story. Diesels are made to work, pulling an RV you probably won't do 50,000 miles a year, likely far less. Probably won't wear out a diesel in your life time. Met a guy...

    Anyone regret going from 3500/2500 series to a 1500 series?

    If I went to a 150 from a 350 or even 250 diesel, I'd try to get one with the 300 6 in it. had one and got bit over 20 mpg with it. Checked fuel when prices went up over $4 a gal and a gas truck getting 20mph is less expensive to run than a diesel truck getting 18 mph! My dodge did better than...

    Anyone pulling an enclosed trailer with a midsize V6?

    I used to pull 45' reefer vans loaded to 80,000 pounds with a 290hp Cat engine engine, always the last one up the hill but always up the hill! My son bought a 42' fifth wheel and had a Toyota Tundra. Went out and bought an F-350 Ford to pull it. Didn't think his Toyota could do it. He has my...

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    I don;t think he was meaning to point a finger but i agree with him, most hunters are pretty bad shots, not all of them though!

    30-06 for everything????

    I don't have a clue how high temp might effect a wood stock unless left in the heat to long. Then humidity would probably play a part too. I do think it would be foolish to go without aa good bedding job with the barrel free floated. I free float my barrels more than most. Instead of using a...

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    My experience with goats makes my opinion maybe worth what you pay for it! I've had one 270 and it was stolen before I ever used it on game the first time. But I have a theory about bullet's. I think the really heavy for caliber bullet's belong best in the magnum cartridges. At one time in my...

    Pay that kind of money for a scope you shouldn't ever have to think about an up grade!
