    Merry Christmas to yourself?

    Most of my EOY bonus went into the brokerage account but a little bit went to a new Tikka 6.5cm to replace my m70 270 and an Rs1.2 to sit on top of it. I might still grab an identical 223 but will fund that by selling off a few unused guns. Was planning to grab my old safe from my dads to move...

    ML Scope

    I am looking for some glass for an Optima ML for deer hunting. I am using the RS1.2 on my rifles but its way overkill for this application. I originally mounted a very old weaver 4x but given the rail position its hard to get proper eye relief and the scope is frankly pretty beat up. Something...

    Hunting rifle decision.

    My 300wm actually kicks less than my 270, its not really heavier, something in the stock fit im sure. Whichever one you pick put an airtech on it.

    Large caliber vs. small caliber debate

    These threads really opened my eyes to the effectiveness of smaller calibers. I was very much set on magnums before. So I do think the experiences posted have done a lot of good.

    Form struck someone’s nerve

    The guys claiming you need to pull 80lb + to kill an elk vs guys who say you can shoot a 60lb way better and often the better shot placement gets better results. Not a hunting podcast but found it funny Rogan calling anyone not shooting 80+ a pussy and talking about how his bow totally...

    Large caliber vs. small caliber debate

    Debating ideal caliber for a hunt weighing a multitude of variables makes sense. Debating weather people can shoot large caliber as well as small does not. Most people will shoot small better, virtually none will shoot large better. Some tiny percent may shoot them equally, a less tiny percent...

    Sharpening knives?

    Ive been playing with this method vs the one I had used for years. There was a lot of similarity, focus on full length bur etc, but I was doing push vs pull and tang to tip vs tip to tang. I have been liking this so far.

    Large caliber vs. small caliber debate

    I would guess that this is not strictly small vs large caliber? And that its really between select high performing cartridges within each size range? 30-30 is not entering the debate for example, cant think of one on the small side.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Will get a t3x lite stainless most likely so 1:8 I think. 75s would be fine I would think, not sure on the 80s

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Read a good chunk of this and think my next rifle will be a 223. With tmk 77s pretty much unsvailable in factory loads right now are the 73 eldms the preferred more svailable choice?

    Wife became a vet tech which helped quite a bit both in terms of what we can handle ourselves and the discount. Even bigger deal is afterhours help when needed. They have lots of students in vet school do tech work until they graduate so have developed a whole network of vets in our area she...

    Ultralight chair to throw in your pack?

    I actually ordered one of those back in July, they had said Sept delivery, then Oct, then Nov, now it does not even show a date. Little frustrating given how not cheap it was but at this point I guess it does not matter if it takes a bit longer as long as I get it by spring. Im ok with a long...
