    New Mexico Vacation Ideas

    Red or Green? (Will be asked this each time you eat) One of the few places I go and without feeling deprived on the food. Love me some some NM cosine. Plus one on the Chama visit and the Narrow-gage train ride. Good experience in Taos with a local traditional dance group performing at a...

    Packed a whitetail for the first time yesterday

    Old methods can be hard to break, I killed a nice 8-point buck (4X4) on public land using a Kayak to access the stand site. On the previous day I visited the mandatory check station and witnessed a dozen deer being weighed and checked. All were not only still whole but none were even gutted...

    The dreaded sidearm question...

    Only felt the need to carry in WY, 2008: Purchased the Titanium "Judge" (4" BBL 2 3/4" .410) with the understanding it was a compromise. A .45 Long colt being less desirable than a 44 mag or more pottant cartridge, I believed it to be only a minimum load for Grizz. Once located an older...

    Unit 62 CO drought

    My 2020 Archery Summery, My hunting buddy and I payed a fee for private land access in 62 (OTC) that included the use of a cabin. Property had several 640 acre homesteads, some of witch some were linked together. We finally got into elk on the last two days but the drought was...

    Wide fit hunting boots

    Wide Foot issues, I too have problems with finding boots that are wide enough to accommodate both my width, and high insteps. Crazy high volume foot! Have had good luck with Meindl boots from Cabela's in the past. Since Bass Pro took them over, have had little luck finding the models I...

    Remington 700 Trigger Upgrade

    Timney trigger install update, I must say the customer service response I received at Timney was pretty good. I'm now convinced that I did get the correct trigger for my application. it seems all of these triggers are the same with. They acknowledged that I may have been given a very...

    Remington 700 Trigger Upgrade

    Timney Elite Hunter, Ordered replacement from Midway after talking to a Timney product specialist. They told me the unit was basically a drop in. Told them I was worried the model needed to match my M 700 Mt. rifle. Watched a U-tube video on how to install a Timney trigger and figured I...

    Leupold 2.5-8 on 300 Winchester for Elk

    +1, I purchased one of these (on Rokslide) with the BDC reticle for my grandson's Model 70 Win featherweight. I find it to be a great match for both the .308 chambering and the compact size & weight. It just looks correct on the rifle. I became a little envious once I learned they no...

    Remington 700 Trigger Upgrade

    Awesome timing with this thread. I have a 1980's manufactured Remington M700 .280 Mt. Rifle. Outside of a pillar bedding job rifle is basically stock. Original trigger is a bit heavy, has creep + overtravel. Did not realize how poor it was until I purchased a Kimber, and two older Model 70's...

    Wilderness horseback preparation

    You have some wonderful advice here. I don't ride often. This is my take, learned as a nimrod on my few horseback hunts. On one trip I was waring Danner boots with air bob souls. They wanted to stick in the stirrups. Can't emphasize enough the need for good fitting stirrups even if you have...

    "Good lord guys, can we stay on topic? I'm ready to start a new 'vaccine' thread. I got first shot Feb 28th--Moderna--and second shot yesterday. So far so good.

    Received the Vaccine today...

    The Libs do not think we are back to normal. They want to continue the lock-down mentality. Regardless of the falling rates in new cases (positive tests) most a symptomatic , hospitalizations, and deaths the Blue state governors want us to remain under their thumbs. They want us to ware Two...

    Received the Vaccine today...

    I got my 2nd shot a week ago, I too was skeptical and suspicious with all of the political wrangling that has been a part of this shit show. I am deeply conservative and have noticed some changes in my thoughts since being vaccinated. No longer do I find the Democratic platform to be...

    Has it ever been this bad?

    Availability and Pricing is shocking, I just went to a local gun show last weekend and was stunned at the prices. Mostly looking for factory ammo as I don't yet reload. Finding ammo for my Grandson's 308 has been a chore. They had plain jane loads for $65 to $90 per box! Saw ammo for .243...

    .35 Whelan

    Praise for the 338-06, I too had a 30-06 re-bored to a 338-06 by JES. The rifle was a late 1940's Win Model 70 classic. So glad I chose to do this project and the result has been stellar. My smith was pleased with the quality work and quick turn-a-round from JES. The price of this service...
