    Ruger American Ranch vs ?

    I don't think you're going to find anything with those specs and price. You know, I was going to say go for a tikka or if you cant swing that, a savage so you could swap barrels out later. However I see that preferred and xcaliber both make ruger american prefits too. If you don't mind the...

    Inexpensive 223 for varmints?

    I don't have any experience with the XPR but I've been let down with the accuracy of my latest model 70 supergrade and have seen some interesting things posted about the XPRs. In my mind, if they can't get the supergrade M70 right, then I've lost a lot of hope for winchester. Now that's just a...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    Tell me what you're considering bacteria. I work in water distribution and obviously if you're using tap, there has to be a chlorine risidual. Municipal water is tested for total coliform regularly which is an indicator for certain types of bacteria. That's about all that they care about...

    I have a hungry Savage Ultralite in 7 prc. What does it like to eat?

    Obviously you're new to this so please take some time to learn about how guns are built and how barrels are chambered. No two guns are the same, period. If it were as simple as that, we wouldn't need so many different types of ammo. Barrels are chambered by reamers. Reamers are metal so they...

    I have a hungry Savage Ultralite in 7 prc. What does it like to eat?

    Ol Jim, what a tool. Your rifle is your rifle. You'll have to find what IT likes. Unfortunately, unless you reload, which i would recommend, you have to buy boxes of ammo and test. No way around it man.

    Kuiu - Annual 50% sale starts today

    Hot some of their pants on the last sale. I like them so much I picked up a peloton 240, gaiters, and some.of their zip off merino. Im sure it'll be just as nice as the pants.

    Varmint bullet for deer

    I saw enough to not try it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I appreciate the confirmation.

    Sig Sauer Kilo 10k Gen 2 Rangefinder Binos out!

    I've had two problems with the BDX app since launch but they've been resolved. 1. It wouldn't let me dick around with custom profiles unless I was connected to the binos. I like tinkering and playing what if a bunch. 2. Upon opening it would immediately crash. Luckily neither have been in...

    Worth upgrading from zermatt?

    I guess I'm bougie enough that I just appreciate the CRF style that zermatt uses at the range. Controlling the ejection with the bolt speed is nice for throwing brass back in my hand. It does make me feel just a bit better that the round is more locked in too with feeding and extraction. All...

    Any First Hand Solus Barrel Experience?

    Will do. Getting a barrel right when season opens is not the most conducive timing for a range report since i have to swap barrels but I want to shoot at least one with it so I'll have something within the next month or so. Still waiting on it to get done at cerakote which is odd. My last...

    2025 Draw Anticipation

    Appreciate the advice. I'm super green trying to interpolate all of this info. Super complicated as I've never had to apply for anything here in the south. I just get 5 deer tags and 2 turkey tags as a given. The unit I'm going to was OTC for the hunt I have setup so I guess we will just have...

    2025 Draw Anticipation

    Putting in CO for the first time and hope to draw one for my first elk trip. With the new rules not sure how it's going to go but the unit i want and have a hunt setup in shouldn't be very popular. Sorry. One more NR trying to come out there. Deal with it.

    Worth upgrading from zermatt?

    Good to hear. I have a long and short origin. Going to pick up a medium one to round it out and another short for a match gun. I got my last one from NSS and went with their beads lasted finish. It looks great but my dlc or nitrided long action is just a touch smoother. I have no real...

    Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

    I've yet to try dropping pins with my Kilos but I'm looking forward to it. At first I think it was just base camp but now I believe they've expanded to other platforms.

    Youth rifle to keep

    How old is your daughter? That hawkeye is gonna be a bear to hold up and shoot steady depending on her age and strength. I went the compact tikka 223 route and I'm glad I did.

    Outer layer for early November elk in Wyoming

    I've been beating my head around on this same question. Planning a second rifle hunt in CO next year and the outer layers were throwing me too. My temps were just a bit warmer than yours. 20s to 50s. I'm planning on wearing merino bases, and some heavier pants like the Kuiu attacks or my Sitka...

    Thinking of cutting down my heat sensitive 308...

    Subd for some hacksaw action. I love a good redneck idea that works so my hat is off to you. After you get done, I'd strongly recommend bedding that bad boy too. I've had a some great success bedding my own rifles. It's not too hard and if you're just OCD enough it can turn out perfect.
