    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I never weighed mine, but AGP Arms lists it at 11.5 ounces. It could be drastically tightened with a drill press.

    Pump shotguns- Who is manufacturing the best?

    The best pump guns are gone, but they're still cheap to buy on the used market and ready to serve for another few generations of use. Check out the Winchester Model 12 in 20 gauge. For a bargain buy that works as well as anything ever made, J.C. Higgin's Model 20 is sweet shotgun. I snagged...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    AGP Arms' version is the only lightweight folder I've used, and though it's not a true lightweight, it works well for these straight-pull builds. Folding hunting chassis for bolt-guns spoiled me. I'll take a weight penalty for length reduction any day...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    To me, a folding stock and manual operation for use with suppressors are what makes these ARs special.

    Unit 17 Wyoming Ram

    Awesome. Great job maximizing the opportunity.

    Audad Sheep Hunt -Desert Safaris texas - Sketchy Situation

    For anyone considering an aoudad hunt, I have two suggestions: Book it now because prices won't go down, and consider going with Mike McKinney at West Texas Hunt Organization (westtexashunt.com). Mike runs a solid operation and employs quality guides like Casey Sanford, who I've hunted with 4...

    Your first deer rifle?

    Savage 99A in .250-3000 my grandpa bought me in a pawn shop. Killed my first blacktail with it at age 9 in '94. Didn't kill another deer with it until 2020. To me, this will always be the quintessential hunting rifle and cartridge. Astute observers may notice something funny on the muzzle...

    Te Hopo, any idea what they cost? Has to be five figures.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Guys, check out this 2.2-pound double-rifle chambered in .17 HMR or .22 Hornet. If everyone on this thread pitches in $500, we can maybe snag a sample and share ownership. Wow... https://www.hoferwaffen.com/hofer_52s.php?id=14&lang=en

    short and nasty

    I clicked on this hoping it was something else, but that is a sweet build. Nice work. Let us know when you get it dirty!

    Hunting with a Shotgun Suppressor

    Metrogun extension works great. I had one 5 years ago. The only issue is length. True shotty suppressors are great. For waterfowl hunting, they’d be awesome. Phoenix Weaponry makes integrally suppressed shotguns. I plan on buying a 410 through them for pest control.

    Call me trashy, but I prefer using liquid duct tape

    WTS Tikka t3/t3x Bell & Carlson Stock

    Good looking stock. This should sell fast.

    WTS Browning BAR .243 (Belgium)

    These are cool rifles. I grew up with magnum BARs but always wanted a .243 for deer and predators.

    Tikka Nitriding

    Call it what you want, but it is a common knock on the action, one of very few I must add. The Tikka bolt lift is heavier than other designs. It's not the heaviest (that title might go to the atrocious Remington 770) nor a deal breaker, but I feel it and so do others. You've made your point...

    200 inch typical vs 200 inch nontypical

    The typical vs. nontypical dilemma reminds me of a recent archery hunt in the desert. Because I couldn't decide which buck to shoot—the dreaded "Pope & Young paralyzation"—all I got was this photo. Probably for the best, as this bachelor group could use another year.

    MDT HNT26 Chassis System

    Good takes above. I have two HNT26 chassis, and I love them dearly. They’re not perfect, but they are rock solid and fold. Hard to beat that. For the money though, the Rokstok is a better value.

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    Great topic. I have way too many that have accumulated over the years. Ideally, I’d have only 3 to 5 and know and trust each one, but I love each and every one of my many other rifles, some I’ve not even fired. It’s an addiction. My passion is hunting and guns, but with two small kids, I don’t...

    How to catch an untrapable mouse.

    Success last night on a DIY mouse trap. Used a baby formula can, SWFA sunshade, thin cord, and a dollop of peanut butter. It caught our mouse in 15 minutes. Reached out to my dad and uncle to remember the family backstory on the infamous "bucket trap." They first saw it deployed on a moose hunt...
