    Trouble choosing between Tikka t3x superlite and browning x-bolt speed spr

    I think Lite vs Superlite is .2lbs so essentially nothing. What are you looking for from 6.5 PRC that 270 doesn't do? If you said 300 PRC or 300WM, or 6 Creedmoor, or 22 Creedmoor I wouldn't question it. I don't see the point in having extremely similar rifles in very similar calibers. If...

    ISO Brake

    From what i've found the Rex Silentium Tridelta .30 brake should suit me best(of the ones i've looked at). Minimal blast, respectable recoil and muzzle jump reduction, and low profile. I can't find it available anywhere. Anyone have any ideas where I can get one or offer another comparable...

    Where to buy rifles online...

    only 2 of my purchases have been online, 1 through Sportsmans Warehouse and 1 through PSA. Both were easy, no problems. PSA had a great price, SW was just reasonable. Im more interested in how you arrived at searching for a .30-06 auto. Care to elaborate? Not criticizing, just curious.

    Your Purpose-Built Hunting Firearm Arsenal

    Thats a bold move, listing so much of your collection with the possibility of feds monitoring (call me crazy if you want, doesn't bother me). I'm not that brave. But suffice to say that I thought similarly in my youth. I had my 12 I got when I was15, I wanted a big game rifle, and a 22 and I...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    To which I would say that you aren't aware of them, but they still exist. It may be the kinds of things that you don't ever consciously think about, but your brain is still processing them.

    2024 Tacoma- anyone bought one, drove one—thoughts?

    "Long in the tooth" and Toyota don't really go together. Not sure what would cause you to say that. I have an 08 4runner with 273k, aside from the paint I cant imagine it being in better shape. I am all for people doing what they want with their money, but I would encourage you to really...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    error exists in everything. No plan goes exactly perfectly, variables change, we have to adapt (hopefully quickly, accurately, and precisely enough).

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    I definitely said that is NOT my approach. Only that I can understand the logic. It seems like you only read the part you wanted to reply to, not the whole thing. I would ask you to re-read the whole thing and then decide if your reply makes sense.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    pick something with a proven track record of success (defined as confirmed ethical kills) and that fits your specific needs and get good with it. Leave all the other mess behind. That being said, I can certainly see a case for going as "big" or "powerful" as possible that you can shoot well...

    New Turkey Gun.......gimme your thoughts

    Im very open-minded except im not spending Beretta et al kinda money. Single shot, pump, auto are all an option as well as 12, 20, and 410. I am a lefty so im considering the Tristar Viper G2 LH which would also be my waterfowl gun. Also considering a single shot(Rossi or Savage are the...

    Newb tips?

    Well this is quite a story. I still can't believe it all went down like this. My wifes cousin had been there a few days and scouting so he had a pretty good handle on the groups that were there. I paired up with his brother and we set up on the edge of a clearing with 2 hen decoys out in the...

    Going to try turkey hunting for the first time this year. For opening day ill be on private land in E Central NC(pines and hardwoods, not much elevation change) and we may have help from cameras locating birds. I have a box call and diaphrams(I can barely make a squeak with them), should I...

    New pew pew incoming

    Got it a while back. Went with Arken rings. Put a small rail under the front and a cheap bipod. All-in I'm at under $1200. Finally had some decent time at the range. So far ive only used the S&B Tactical 140gr ammo. @100 ive gotten a sub .5MOA group and a sub .65MOA group, both 3-shot...

    CHEAP & GOOD

    Selliot & Bellot 6.5 CM 140gr FMJBT Tactical is surprisingly good given its price, right now under $17/box @ Sportsmans Guide. I got .5 moa & .65 moa groups at 100. Only shot it to 250 so far, it did ok but I might have flubbed some shots. Its certainly not match level but its good enough and...
