    Argali Knives?

    I've owned and used the Argali Carbon for a few years now. I've had it used on multiple animals before needing resharpening. That said as the saying goes it's easier to keep any knife (regardless of steel) sharp vs resharpening. Knives are Very personal (and I'm a knife guy - I own too many). I...

    ACTION: Protect Oregon’s Spring Bear Hunt!

    Hi David - this was beat back by the OSCP group and a number of people made excellent contributions to the ODFW meeting with testimony from brand new adult hunters to Robby Kroger of Blood Origins. Be ever mindful but this time hunters and sound biology won out! :)

    Instant creamer that doesnt taste like a$$?

    Mini moos - but only if you arent counting ounces etc. But a box of mini moos doesnt weigh a lot.

    2024 Blacktail bucks

    Finally got the pics of my buck's wound from another hunter uploaded by my buddy. Anyone else ever shoot a wounded buck? This was my first and he didn't show it at all. Still so glad I decided to take him when we saw this.

    2024 Blacktail bucks

    I waffled on whether or not to take this buck yesterday. He wasn't quite as big as I wanted but ultimately with my few hunting days left, I decided I would shoot him on the last day "Why not take him now?" Afterwards, I was very happy I did as he had a wound in his left front leg that looked...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    Teee kuh lol typos aside I told what I know and have seen. Sorry if that's not helpful. The other rifles aren't mine. I know what I saw re bluing. The other jammed every shot on a new rifle with multiple bullet types and I saw that too. Didn't take it as busting my balls no worries. I just don't...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    I checked the spring thoroughly and field stripped. I also researched online and found others with same issue. Would this not be a QC issue just bc I don't know what it was? Not being defensive... I just would say seeing issues on three tikka in a row makes me shy of them a bit. Wouldn't it most...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    I mean at least this thread they did ask although yes I have run into certain people who just won't hear it even if I can show it. And your post did make me chuckle. Also I personally like the tika action as far as for a inexpensive action it's quite good is it on par with something really nice...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    Yes all resolved. I didnt hear what the issue with mine was I had to send it in. The Blueing I've just seen a lot of cheap blueing lately it seems like esp on less expensive rifles. His was not mistreated nor stored wet it started rusting from being in a wet environment. No he didnt store it wet...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    The OP mentioned 1200$. (The roughtech is not $800 at least in my area.) But for 800 or less I'd probably go Ruger American Gen II, Savage 110, Weatherby Vanguard, or Sauer 100. I've not shot the Sauer but it has the right make up IMO. Its of course opinion based upon my own experiences. :) For...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    It usually causes a kerfuffle when I mention as people exclaim it's our faults but ermagerd newp not. My rifle stopped ejecting brass. I took good care of it. In fact back then I used to clean it regularly and keep it in immaculate condition. Another buddy's almost immediately had brass jamming...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    For the 1200$ price range you mention I'd go Kimber Hunter or Kimber Hunter Pro - had a Kimber Hunter in 7mm-08 I sold a number of years back and I wish I'd never done so. Phenomenal lightweight rifle that worked flawlessly for me. Also if you are looking at the 1200$ price range for a Tika in...

    Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

    Tika but just because it's the Honda Civic of rifles and is really able to be kitted adjusted changed out with all sorts of aftermarket components. Honestly I'll provide a contrast to everyone else here and say I've owned a Tika and I have two friends that have own tikas and all three of our...

    New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?

    When I called them and asked for my PRC and the 147 grains what would be Full expansion at velocity minimums not just some expansion... They stated 1800-2000 feet per second would get the job done. I haven't had a chance to test that for example in a water trap which I'd love to do but in...
