    Neck tension and the placebo effect

    High neck tension most certainly can affect the accuracy and sd. Does it always?....no. More importantly than the amount of neck tension is the amount of neck clearance. If you are tight and eating into the last few thou of clearance, you're going to have problems.

    The day I killed my bear with my pistol my wife and I got into it because I was not leaving without my favorite owb holster. I have practiced with that holster A LOT and felt it necessary for bear country. As fate would have it, later that day I was face to face with a big bear and was able to...

    Nightforce Review sort of.

    I prefer the 4x nx8 with mil-c. If it is failing light, I push the button.... if it's good light, it works for me. My brain takes me to the middle of the middle automatically and the reticle is right there.

    McGuire Ballistics field and terminal reports

    There's a bullet weight difference in bergers with a piece of media stuck in the meplat vs those who are clear.....but it's not enough to matter.....but like the wall thickness here it does potentially make a difference in bullet upset, which matters.

    Leupold or Warne QR Rings

    If you choose a warne style, pay attention to the direction of the throw lever. You want it to tighten upon recoil.

    Tikka slam fire PSA

    To be fair when the tikka kool-aid was being served, the usual spokespersons said the winchester m70 trigger was un reliable. It's literally the simplest trigger ever made.....and you can visually see the sear faces and measure the engagement. The bolt is the safety.....it's near impossible to fail.

Having towed some very heavy loads and seeing how it handles it.....I wouldn't want it any other way. My front axle shaft u joints are bigger than the drive shaft joints on my 2500 cummins...
