    22 trainer - T1x vs 10/22 with bull barrel

    Buying a dfat or trigger cam isnt training. If you want a dfat or trigger cam buy it, but you arent training. Using it is. Like using a rifle and ammo you bought is training. Guys should spend time afield actually shooting before trying to buy their way to results with high tech gadgets the...

    22 trainer - T1x vs 10/22 with bull barrel

    Theres also a lot of options outside tikka if you’re interested. A 10/22 usually isnt representative of most centerfires. Neither is any of the cheap feeling hollow stock rimfires. But those are the ones that are better suited for kids or novice shooters. Theres cz457. Some similar cz models out...

    Ammo availability

    I hope youre right. Im not always that optimistic. The bonus is ammo and components don't go bad. And if looked at in the longer term whatever i buy at regular or sale prices will cost more in 10yrs. Sometimes its wildly out of touch with inflation.

    Ammo availability

    Not a real hot topic but again today I noticed the availability of ammo. At 3 stores I saw fairly well stocked shelves. Fairly well by todays standards. Nows the time to grab a box here and there when you got an extra $30 or $40. During the next panic you’ll be glad to have it or glad to sell it.

    Do you take a backup rifle on hunts?

    Always bring a backup. And if I have some hesitancy about where I’ll be leaving it I’ll bring something I wouldn't be heartbroken if I lost it. Usually I worry very little about leaving my stuff unattended in the mountains. I worry way more leaving the truck in parking lot at a Walmart or...

    Price:Quality ratio of CA Ridgeline vs Tikka Roughtec

    Not good. You're treading on thin ice here. Forum 101- you don't ever disagree with folks with high post counts. Thats universal.

    Price:Quality ratio of CA Ridgeline vs Tikka Roughtec

    If you're going to be a member in good standing here you need to follow the rules. Remember Tikka rifles and swfa scopes are the only thing you should be buying. Best there is dollar for dollar. Everybody knows this. Its a fact. Stop playin around mister. And CA and Leupold are absolute garbage...

    Long term storage

    May help to say what region you live in. If you live in a dry climate a safe will work without a single wipe-down for at least 15yrs. Don't need desiccant or controlled climate.

    Secure Storage - Powder, Primers, and Bullets

    Only you know the answers here but ask yourself what other valuable items do you have that are easy to carry and re-sell quickly. Guns, electronics, optics, coins, jewelry, credit cards, hand tools, power tools, chainsaws, petty cash are more commonly stolen items. Not saying it doesnt happen...

    Bad taxidermy or high expectations?

    It looks totally fine. Its sure not a competition winner but I think you're being a little picky. That sucks it didn't meet your expectations. Thats disappointing. Its like gunsmiths and engine builders there's plenty of crappy ones out there that want to learn at your expense. And usually you...

    Lowa resoling services

    I havnt had lowas resoled but had others. Every time i get something resoled it works decent for a while but its not the same as a new or nearly new boot. Even when its returned looking almost good as new. The leather is worn from regular use and now the sole isnt equally worn. Seems like the...

    CPW nightmare

    Also if you go theres a lot of hot moms. I got no idea why but about half of them dress up kinda skanky in minimal clothes to go see it. I guess its a thing. For real. Its beyond me. Its like weirdos wearing Star Wars costumes to premieres.

    CPW nightmare

    Did you watch it? Maybe you did. I have no idea who you are. BUT. Probably 2/3 of the folks outraged by it haven't actually seen it. They're outraged because they got told to be after hearing something about it. I got a friend thats way offended by that racist misogynist COVID misinfo spreader...

    Poor quality Winchester brass!

    You said gaps you could see through and lines. Do you mean it was cracked? I haven't seen that before right out of the bag

    270 wsm 165 ABLR loads

    No experience. But I have question. Why 165 vs 150 or 140? Is it just the challenge, seeing if you can make it work?
