I'm partial to Weatherby rifles so I would go go with Mark V hunter. I know there is a lot of love for the Tikka on here but you mentioned you reload and COAL can be an issue with magnums in a Tikka.
The Mark V action will allow you to seat bullets as long as you need. For your price range, I...
I've been intrigued with double rifles ever since I saw 'Ghost and the Darkness' when I was in high school. I followed that up by watching a lot of the Mark Sullivan videos and now I'm hooked on double rifles. My wife bought me a Sabatti 45-70 double for my birthday several years back and I've...
I had a pacemaker implanted on Christmas Eve 2015. At the time I was randomly blacking out. Luckily, I was wearing a heart monitor and it caught an episode where my heart stopped for nine seconds.
You can still get out and hunt but you will have to find a new 'normal'. That was the hardest...
I have a very bad vasovagal response to shots/needles. I've passed out more times than I can count after getting a shot or giving blood.
I have learned to lay down and elevate my feet when giving blood or getting a shot. Since I've started doing that, I have not passed out.

The restrictions for the HAMS hunts are extreme for archery...
The proposed changes for rifles/muzzleloaders only apply to the HAMS hunts. The wording is bad in the article. The DWR made several comments on their FB in regards to the proposed changes to equipment that can be used during the HAMS hunts.
I believe we have already seen the peak in western hunters. Non-resident applications were down in Montana this year. I think that trend will continue.
A lot of the new hunters are younger, and want instant gratification. None of the new hunters I know killed anything this year and a few of...
I bought a medium Hatvest Right earlier this year. I try to run it a few times a week.
I don't know if it's worth the money, but I do know that I enjoy camp meals a lot more more than years past. My girls even break into the meals sporadically because they like them so much.
I'm a suckered for any of the Korean ramen noodles. Shin and the ones mentioned above are top notch.
I like to add extra kimchi, a braught, and a slice of Kraft cheese to Shin ramen. In Korea is called 'company' (the military unit) stew. It sounds nuts but adding the slice of cheese makes it...
