    Painless load development (mine)

    For AR reloads, or basically anything where I am doing hundreds at a time, I much prefer a drop-style powder charger like the one pictured above....quicker by a large margin. When I bought my electronic one, I threw the drop-style RCBS one I had out and have been kicking myself ever since. I...

    Tire Plug - Temporary or Permanent

    I have ran plugged tires for tens of thousands of miles with no issues. The one time I plugged one myself though, it did get a slow leak eventually and I had a local tire company pull the plug and patch it. Haven't thought about it since.

    Muzzle brake or not?

    I had an "ultralight" .300 wm and let it kick me like a mule for nearly a decade. I have a plate and 5 screws in my neck and more than once that damn thing rocked me enough to stiffen my upper back and neck muscles for a week or more at a time. I just had it rebarrelled and put into a new...

    POA being disregarded to accuracy

    Just had my Weatherby Vanguard backcountry re-barreled with a 24" proof carbon Sendero with an SRS brake. I also had some custom work done on the bolt and a stockys VG2 inletted for Atlasworx bottom metal and bedded - I am still doing a bit of load development but getting pretty dang close. I...

    Iron Will inserts

    Here is what I do - get a heat gun or a torch and barely screw a fieldpoint into the insert and heat it up taking special care to stay away from the carbon - you just want the field tip to be hot enough so you can touch it for a few seconds before it starts burning your finger. Then put the...

    Idahoans do not like out-of-state hunters

    Speaking of people hating on non-residents - I have a story from this years elk hunt that encapsulates this issue, while also looking at the good side of things. I, for one, feel more hate for NR on forums like this one than IRL. It is sort of like how people talk to others on FB etc, and say...

    Kifaru New Hip Belt Design

    From the pics of Snyder packing out a Stone Sheep, it looks like Kifaru has a new hip belt design in the works. Most likely a new frame as well, unless they just redesigned the belt.

    Finishing cargo trailer interior

    Ever considered a cargo trailer to get yourself out of the elements and one that will dry age your meat at an appropriate temp? I own and run a small vegetable farm and needed additional refrigeration while on my property and during transit - so I built a refrigerated cargo trailer. When...

    Low recoil for bigger game

    I was yesterday years old when I found out how effective muzzle brakes are. I have never owned or shot a braked rifle before. I just had my 300WM re-barreled and had an SRS SSPro4 Muzzle brake installed (you can buy it right here on Rokslide) and I was amazed that a rifle that used to kick like...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    I would just like to say that while I have yet to listen to this episode, I think it's a great podcast. As usual, Avery is funny AF. I don't know what sets it apart from Avery Adventures except the higher production quality but I am really enjoying it. And this is coming from a guy who is able...

    Liberty Safes Provides Access Codes to FBI

    TLDR the whole thread but in case this hasn't been pointed out previously - Liberty Safes was purchased by Monomoy Capital Partners in 2021, and according to FEC reports they donated 400K of max contributions to "liberals" (they aren't liberal) like Raphael Warnock, John Fetterman (is he even...

    Here is a pic of the VG2 with Howa Action 24" Proof Sendero Carbon with SRS SS Pro 4 Muzzle Brake. As stated earlier, I was impressed with the fit on the VG2 it was tight straight from the factory. I had it pillar bedded by LRI and inletted for an atlas worx bottom metal that accepts AICS mags...

    How often does everyone upgrade their packs?

    Started with the Kifaru Duplex Timberline in 2012, sold it and the frame in 2017, replaced it with the Lightweight Duplex and Muskeg 5K and just picked up a Kifaru Kutthroat this year for the "wife" (or anyone else who might be in camp without a tried and true pack to help pack out an animal, or...

    Rokcast "end of hunting?"

    Love em or hate em Newberg and Jacobsen covered what is going on in Washington on the Elk Talk podcast titled "herd bulls are a different elk" and I couldn't tell if Randy was about to cry or scream, but you could tell by his voice that it was the most concerning thing he had brought up in a...
