    New phone

    I've got the 2019 year model Motorola Moto G Power. It's got a 5,000mah battery and only costs about $220. It's done everything I need with no hiccups. If you're interested, I'd wait until April or so. That's usually when Motorola releases the newest G series.

    Savage’s NEW Action - the straight pull Impulse

    Agreed. That's heavy. Most of the weight must be in the steel barrel. The Accustock is about 2lbs. I can't imagine an aluminum receiver adding a lot of weight. It's probably about 2lbs too. If the Impulse catches on, maybe Savage will release a version that's more like the model 110 Storm...

    sheep - 270 vs 6.5cm

    Easy choice. Tikka T3x Superlite in .270 Win. Toped with a 3-10 Nightforce SHV. Add a Yodave trigger spring and a Limbsaver Airtech pad. The above is my primary hunting rifle. Minus the Nightforce. Still working on that. I get just under MOA 10 shot groups with 130gr Hornady SST and Nosler...

    Bergara b14 vs tikka tx3 super lite

    If you're worried about the barrel of a hunting rifle getting too hot, then you're not planning to shoot it realistically. There aren't many hunting scenarios where you'll be heating up a barrel on a factory Bergara B14 or Tikka T3x enough to worry about POI shifting. You'll see the best...

    How Many of the Same Caliber

    I know a guy who's got almost a dozen rifles chambered in 7-08. He's been collecting them since the 90's. A bit of a 7mm junky.

    7mm08 6.5 creedmoor or 308

    None of those three choices are preferable to your existing magnums at 600 yards. I suggest finding ways to lighten your current rifles. Replace the rifle stock with a lightweight aftermarket stock. Replace the scope with a lightweight alternative. Have the barrel threaded and install a muzzle...

    Travel Trailer Mice

    I would only use traps if you plan on checking the traps often. Almost daily. Decaying mouse carcass odor doesn't make for a great spring road trip.

    Remington Remage?

    Don't forget the barrel vice, action vice, torque wrench, go gauge, and no-go guage. It's not complicated, but it's not as simple as just screwing in a barrel. *Edited to remove comment about short actions.

    The only way to get people to quit using "running" is to publicly shame them and insult their intelligence. Channel your inner 16Bore.

    1100 dollar western rifle

    I highly recommend finding someone local to you who will let you shoot their 300 Win if you can. You'll likely be able to handle the recoil if you shoot a 30'06 often, but it won't hurt (much) to try a .300 Win before you buy. To be frank, if you're used to shooting a 30'06 around 100 yards...

    Savage lightweight storm 7mm-08 review

    Would you elaborate further on the benefits of the new stock? I've had my model 16 LWH almost since they hit the market. I've been searching pretty much the same amount of time for a replacement to the factory stock.

    Fix your own vehicle

    Some customers are just unreasonable. He's probably just scapegoating onto you since he's mad at himself for not buying a Toyota.

    Fluting a factory barrel

    That's fair. There's nothing wrong with liking the way your rifle looks. Let me ask you this, if there was a 10% chance that fluting the barrel negatively affects accuracy, then would you still get it fluted? The point I'm trying to make is, if you get a reply saying that fluting is not...

    Fluting a factory barrel

    Take this with a grain of salt, because all my rifles with fluted barrels were fluted at the factory. I don't see the benefit in fluting a factory barrel for two reasons. The first is the weight savings are negligible unless you're starting with a bull barrel. The second is the money spent on...

    6.5 PRC Tikka or Sako questions

    What do you mean by internal chassis? Can you explain please? Do you mean an internal chassis like the mini chassis that Manners offer for their rifle stocks?

    General Discussion Forum A place to discuss anything and everything that doesn't have its own forum.

    I've been wondering where that guy went. Good to know where he's posting these days. So I can avoid it.

    Trail running shoes

    Brooks Cascadia. The last is on the narrower side, but I still have plenty of toe room.

    Sleeping bag compression help

    Great. You're storing it right. I wouldn't worry about leaving it compressed for a few days. I've got an REI Igneo that I've spent over 150 nights in and it still holds it's loft just fine. I definitely don't leave it compressed if I don't have to though. I'm sure I've left it compressed for...
