    Compact optic (NF NXS 2.5-10x42) on a long action (T3x). Looking for ring suggestions

    Hawkins Long Range Hybrids worked well on my T3x. I had to bring the scope back as far as possible to get the right eye relief. But it worked. Stock was a Mesa Precision Altitude with a 13.5" LOP.

    Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC

    Some good info in this thread on the 6 CM and 108 ELD-M at various barrel lengths. Might help with your decision. I went with 20". https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/6-cm-108-eld-velocity-barrel-length.337774/

    What to use for cracking, bleeding hands in the field.

    "Green Goo". I used this during Archery Elk and 2nd Rifle in Colorado this year. A buddy recommended it. Worked great. Hands always cracked during & after these trips in the past. No issues this year. The tin container is small (1.8 oz.). A little goes a long way. I think it is an...

    Labradar and Gamin owners

    Owned both. I prefer the Garmin for all the reasons mentioned above. Sold the Labradar and do not miss it.

    Ourdoorsmans Gen2 Panhead - Not Smooth

    Mine started off a little rough, but not to the degree you are describing. It has gotten better/smoother over time. I have also learned how to work with the tension to get it set where I like it. Took some time and patience, but I can move it smoothly with the bridge of my nose when panning now...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Thank you. I really like them so far. A little longer/larger than the standard Tikka bolt handle, but not in the oversized/tactical category. Feels good in the hand at any angle. Should slide into a scabbard without any issues. It's threaded if you want to try other knobs with the same...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Thank you. It's been a fun project. Building on the same platform made more sense to me. I want to improve my shooting ability as a hunter (600 yds on game, 1000 yds on targets). I still do some backpack hunting, so light(ish) and short(ish) are a priority. I built both as similar as possible...

    Need New Gaiters

    I'm 5 years in with Kuiu Yukons. No issues so far. I would buy them again. I don't have any experience with SG gaiters.

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    For me... a 3/4 length zip off base layer and zip off down pants will cover just about anything I might do throughout the day. Hiking, glassing, napping, camp chores, etc... Those 2 items with a versatile pant are great. I just add or remove layers as needed. The full zip feature is the key...

    Tikka Nitriding

    I had the same questions running through my mind during my most recent Tikka project. I talked with a local shop that does all types of treatments/platings/coatings for the offshore oil and gas industry. They have had enough inquiries from hunters & competitive shooters over the years that...
