    Road Trip Help

    I imagine a world where the Wall Drug signs meet the South of the Border signs and a golden spike is driven in commemoration.

    Road Trip Help

    Spearfish Canyon in the Black Hills is a beautiful drive. There is an outfit at the junction of that and Little Spearfish Canyon that has lodging, restaurant, sxs rentals, etc but not sure on RV campground as we did it by tent in the USFS land campground that is first come, first serve and...

    7mm-08 not producing decent groups with Accubonds

    Perhaps I'm being too narrow-focused in my reading of this thread and/or revealing my lack of knowledge on the issues of higher-ordered reloading practices, but if the goal is to have an accurate load that not only shoots well, but also feeds from the magazine system of a particular rifle, then...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Sorry, I probably couldn't tell you half of the stuff I used to cobble it together. I end up with bins and boxes of random AR parts and see what falls out sometimes. I was mocking it up for proof of concept before tailoring it for my son's size and use and that was on hand. Knowing me, it was a...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    6lb 7oz empty as shown including magazine, optic and NOMAD-Ti. That would be a bit under 5lb for the bare rifle, so not nearly as lithe as the OPs rifles. Need to upgrade the optic next.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I've had bolt sticking so bad I've had to hit the charging handle with a block of wood to extract the case. Some issue with not igniting the round when I pull the trigger. Hammer falls, but no fire. It's possible the rounds I've tried so far (some older black hills and winchester bulk fodder)...

    So you've had no trouble with the .223 loads extracting at all? Does the detent ball in your upper's bolt carrier reliably return to the correct position and keep the action in-battery? Have you tried shooting it suppressed? I've got a similar build started in .223 but am currently having a...

    16" suppressed elk gun

    Are the new velocities WITH the can attached? Similarly, were the previous data for the 22" barrel W or W/O the suppressor?

    130 TMK. What to build?

    I have a 6.5CM load doing right about 2850 from a 22" barrel with the 130 TGK and RE-16 powder which I based on Sierra's load data for the 130 TMK so it should shake out similarly.

    All-time favorite Sub Gauge Upland Bird hunting Gun?

    I like mine, a BR110 Light in 20ga.

    10x low light bino

    Third. These have been fantastic for those first and last light times in the deer stand for me.

    sleep + recovery supplement?

    A stiff dose of magnesium supplements generally helps me sleep. Melatonin can be a wild ride for me as well, so I try to avoid regular use.

    Bronco?

    If vehicles didn't have problems there wouldn't be an auto parts store behind every rick, cot, and tree. Our Subaru Forrester had myriad issues, my wife's Jetta had a ton of issues, her 2015 Yukon is a ticking time bomb for either collapsed lifters and/or a blown transmission by all internet...

    Bronco?

    Compared to the 3 Fords (2 Rangers and an Exploder) I owned before these two, I'd take the LRs any day of the week. Granted they were older vehicles than the LRs but they had their fair share of issues. Both LRs were bought used so can't speak for what all was done before my ownership, but I...

    Goose Call

    Pennsylvania waterfowl hunter here so we don't have the little geese, but I always have my Saunders i5KLR on my lanyard along with usually a hedge Red Zone and/or Acrylic Traffic. Sometimes rapid fire and high pitch notes of that i5 gets their juices flowing when working circling flocks over...

    Bronco?

    My brother has a 4-door with soft top. In my limited experience going camping in it, I very much dislike the rear cargo area access. Tailgate hinges open, then you unlatch the top, lift and swing down a kickstand rod (like for a car hood) to keep it open and it doesn't open very high at that...
