    I don’t recall the weight on the stock itself but the build weight as pictured is 10.2 lbs. I went with the standard length shank per Carbon Six’s recommendation.

    Best 3 Pin slider?

    I have a Black Gold 3 pin now that I like a lot. I had a single pin HHA that was also very good.

    Buy 6.8 Western now or 7PRC later?

    That is false in a way. You can take a Tikka action and make it a long or short action just by changing the bolt stops for less than $50.00. I made a 6.8 Western from a 300 WM. You just need to get it in a standard or magnum bolt to get the proper bolt face for the caliber choice.

    Solar Battery Box For Trail Cameras

    I looked at them but I like making my own stuff as much as possible. Gives me something to do in the winter when the weather keeps you stuck inside.

    Solar Battery Box For Trail Cameras

    Late fall and winter we have extended periods of very cloudy weather and snow where it can cover the panel until it melts off with some sun. The battery can go months before needing charging if fully charged when placed out in the field.

    Solar Battery Box For Trail Cameras

    Im not exactly sure. But this panel is bull specifically for the type of battery I’m using. It’s made for continuous use on deer feeders. Once attached to my cameras I’m switching them to video and they are typically active. This is what I could find. Operating voltage: 12 Volt Maximum power...

    Suppressor wait times

    I don’t understand this wait time at all. You can walk in, buy a firearm, the dealer make a call for the background check and once cleared walk out with the said firearm in an hour or less if you have no flags in your background. Why can’t the same be done for a suppressor?

    Stocks

    Im not going to lie. It’s going to take some adjusting after shooting sporting style rifles for 50+ years. I’ve been shooting my Ruger 22-250 that has a magpul stock with this style grip and been shooting it good.

    Tracking dogs

    I thought tracking dogs actually tracked the scent of the gland in between the hooves of the deer and not blood itself. If you have blood, why the need for a dog?
