    Going on Safari- What question ya got?

    Think I follow you on Insta. At 53 I still have not gone, but it's forever on a Short List. I can retire at any time and have cash in hand...so I am closer than ever. The usual gook. Travel headaches and hang ups for those following behind you. Always a Ballistics nerd. What you use for...

    Bear weight, thoughts

    Great bear. I almost hate reading these, as they're generally Dinks posted from an East Coast flatlander shooting 87lb bears in Ontario over bait. That....is a nice one.

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    Probably the direction I will head. Even a cheap radial brake would take some of the bite out. Easy to test I would think. Just don't have any 30 cal brakes handy on 1/2-28

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    I've not contacted the Smith. He's a solid guy. Decades of service. Was trying to get some insight prior. I liken that to calling the Breeder if your dog bites someone....

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    I guess you lost me??? Easy to argue I'm a 1/2 MOA hot....but this isn't the first group or sample set I've struggled with Brake vs No Brake. The brake is significantly less accurate....and POI is significantly different each attempt. It's repeatably schittty

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    Also kinda funny the thoughts on barrel length. There are more than a few handfuls of the more respected RS posters who fully endorse barrel chops on "Magnums". Many would have gone 17". I don't have a 1/2- .308 can. Was never really where I wanted to end up with this rifle. Wanted a short...

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    Brake threads on very cleanly and straight...by my eye.

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    To clarify...those groups are fired same day. Brake on and Brake off. It's not a pre and post pruning group test. I thought similar to a baffle strike inside a can....I don't SEE any internal issues or strikes on the brake.

    Added a brake and lost all accuracy- WTH?

    Had a very notable gunsmith prune a Tikka T3X back to 19" and thread/time a Mini Beast 3 port brake. I didn't dick with the rifle too much before I had the work completed. A few groups and there were no accuracy issues. Thrown together handled was MOAish. Got the rifle back and have begun...

    IRS Delayed the 1099 600$ rule for one year. See article

    This is waaaay off topic. And I am generally not too much of a Chicken Little/Sky is Falling dude....but My very good friend just returned from Glynco, GA. Home of the largest Federal Training Facility for Feds. FLETC. He said that place is OVERRUN with armed IRS trainees. Running a train...

    Compact binos?

    I also own the Maven 8X30s. I think they're outstanding. Looking for a second unit to gift my wife for her car. I've often thought....if I forgot my full size bins on a trip, I would not be terribly hamstrung if they were all I had. They do feel substantial. But if you've never handled...

    22 Mag vs 17 HMR....does anyone choose a 22 Mag anymore?

    Exact same rifle I used and results, only a single experience tho. Hence the thread. Mine is supremely accurate.

    22 Mag vs 17 HMR....does anyone choose a 22 Mag anymore?

    Any accuracy with this rig? ^^^ Would check some boxes. My TBAC Ti 22 would probably spin on too!

    Truck chainsaw?

    Good post. As Dudes...we are "automatically" all that is Man. A Chainsaw is a great Humble(er). My InstaGram reels are 50% teenage broads with huge jugs....and the other 50% are BuckinBillyRay, TimberJill and random arborists doing amazing things dropping trees. I've had some semi...
