I bought a first gen Titan back in 05 and put 280k miles on it. I traded it in on an Xterra as the crew cab full size was a pain getting back into some of my favorite spots in the mountains. I put 160k miles on the Xterra and planned on driving it at least another 100k, but a little forky mule...
Sitting here eating leftover rabbit stew for lunch today, LOL. I hunt NW Colorado mainly. Its primarily open high desert sage country. I look for thicker sage flats as well as thick brushy draws. If I'm out on BLM land just driving around, any time there's a cattle guard or bridge I will...
I wouldn’t call a model 10 /110 Savage a $300 rifle. Sure, depending on the model, they’ll probably come with a cheap stock, and in my experience, any accuracy issues I’ve ever had with a Savage was due to the stock. I’ve got a 6.5CM Lightweight Hunter that I ended up putting in a Bell and...
the used gun rack at my local Scheels is full of Christensen's. Don't know what that means per se, just an observation I made while in there the other day buying ammo.
A lot of states don’t allow hunting with .22 caliber, Colorado being one of them. The AR I built my son, I went 6.8SPC and it’s been awesome for deer and antelope. It shocks the hell out of me each time he’s been successful with it just how efficient and effective it is on medium size game...
I’m a lefty and I own one left hand bolt gun that doesn’t get much use. everything else is RH. I’ve got so used to shooting a RH hand gun that I don’t really understand what the benefit is of a LH rifle at this point. I like not taking my trigger hand off the rifle and coming up with my right...
The "feels like" always amuses me. I spent a lot of time in the military doing extreme cold weather training and field time in upstate New York. One thing I learned; once it gets down to -15 or -20, you can't really tell anymore, its all cold. The only difference between -25 and -50 is that...
I’m not against a grizzly season by any means, but if there were a season, are these bears edible? I’ve eaten a few black bears and it’s one of my favorite game meats, but I’ve always heard that grizzly / brown bears would no bueno when it came to table fare. Is that primarily a coastal bear...
I was rabbit hunting up by Craig this weekend and it was -22 Sunday morning according to my trucks dash display. It wasn’t windy and the sun was shining so it actually didn’t feel bad while walking. Drudging through knee deep snow in the sage flats warms you up pretty quick anyways

Thanks. I pulled the trigger a couple days ago on a Burris XTR2 4-20x50 with Horus reticle. Its a demo-A and about 300-400 cheaper than anywhere else. Fingers crossed it will be gtg
Awesome man, 6mmARC is what I'm going with with mine. What barrel did you go with? I'm waiting on my barrel, I ended up going with Compass Lake, a 20" fluted Criterion varmint profile barrel. Are you seeing good accuracy with yours?
When I look at pants from most of the high end brands, it surprises me that they are so expensive. Typically they are single stitched and maybe if you are lucky double stitched on the crotch. Look at high end backpacking/ hiking brands and you find similar fabrics, and like Prana Zions or Kuhls...
We bought a new 2014 Forester. It started burning oil bad after a couple months. Initially the dealer didn’t want to do anything, said it was normal. I knew that wasn’t the case.. Anyways, long story short, at 60k miles, and a bunch of frustrating trips to the dealer and phone calls with...
I have been a big fan of the 270WSM for a long time. My savage SA chambered in 270WSM has taken a bunch of game and its been laser gun accurate. In all honesty, I am really not sure how much of an upgrade the Western is over the WSM. I've shot the 150 Nosler Accubond LR out of my WSM with good...
Saw a really good deal on a scope I’ve sort of had my eye on. It’s a sample list C and from the pic there are very evident ring marks. It’s about 150-175 cheaper than I’ve seen it anywhere else.
I’ve heard some mixed reviews on older forum posts from people. Anyone have any recent experiences...
Any of you guys that are on TRT, did you have high blood pressure going into it? Any concerns from your cardiologist about it? Did you see an increase or decrease in blood pressure?
From a practical hunting perspective, I look at all these short action calibers as pretty similar. It is interesting to see how forum talk makes one seem so much greater or lesser than another. I own a 6.5 Creedmoor, but the reason I bought it, was because I didn't already have a 308 or...
That is exactly why I initially built a 6.8SPC for my son. When he shot his first deer with it, he was able to stay on the rifle and take a second follow up shot quickly and dropped the buck. Had that been a 7mm-08, 308, 6.5 etc, I doubt at 10 or 11 years old he would have been able to stay...
I just bought a new barrel in 6mm ARC, looking forward to building an AR hunting rifle for myself. I put together a 6.8SPC for my son and he’s taken a pile of deer and antelope with it. I really enjoy shooting it, but it’s his and I wanted one for myself!
Reading up a bunch on this new 6mm...
