    Who will shoot a cow elk this year?

    California cow tag, so I’ll settle for some tasty meat.

    Buying a placer claim

    Why do you want to purchase a claim? For a place to camp? For a hobby? If it’s either of those two reasons, consider the much cheaper alternative of joining a prospecting club that already owns a bunch of claims. Most people that ask this question with the intent to “make money” gold mining...

    Digital Calipers

    Bringing this post back from the dead... what are people recommending now for a decent set of digital calipers for reloading? The shit set I got from Midway a few years ago adds or subtracts 0.200" (exactly) when you look at it cross-eyed. They are branded National Metallic and were probably...

    New Tikka CTR: 1st range report

    Range report #2 (second time out with this platform). Yes, I currently only seem to have time to shoot once a month… my priorities are all jacked up between work and rebuilding a deck on our home. Anyway, I tested two more factory offerings. All shots at 101 yards (from turrets to target) off...

    SAR gear ?

    My SAR load out includes a handheld FLIR monocular. If you are not certified, take 1st aid and CPR.

    Vane Weight

    When I was into building my own arrows I weighed all components and strived to build a dozen all within 1.5 grains. Not sure if it mattered but it made me feel better. The bad news was when I missed it was because I sucked.

    CA fatal lion attack

    This happened about 8 miles from my home. Cats are thick around here. Locals get depredation permits for them if losing livestock, but it’s tough to keep up. I have only had trouble with bears in my beehives.

    New Tikka CTR: 1st range report

    First range report... I sent 80 rounds, split into eight 10-round groups at 101 yards. 40 rounds of factory Winchester 140 Match (unspecified OTM bullet), followed by 40 rounds of factory Hornady 140 ELDM. Worst 10-round group of the bunch was 1.1 MOA... below are the best two 10-round...

    New Tikka CTR: 1st range report

    I opted to not put a 20 MOA base on it as most shooting will be inside 1,000 yards. If that changes then I would probably swap both the rail and optic. As for the ring level, when I was mounting the scope I recognized it can't be seen when I'm on the gun. Sorta gimmicky, but it's so...

    New Tikka CTR: 1st range report

    <Range reported added 03/20/2024: post #12> <Range reported added 04/29/2024: post #23> This rifle is my first venture into a quasi PRS platform. I took a clinic with https://www.wclrprecisionshooting.com/ last summer using my .30-06 deer rifle. Did OK, considering I was using a factory...

    Charging bear/timed shooting drill

    When I was with the USGS we had to take a 3-day “bear aware” class to work in Alaska. A speed drill with a charging bear target was one of the rotations... I was able to get 1 shot on target with a bolt action .30-06 (“charge” started at 35 yards), but 3 shot on target with lever Marlin 1895...

    Taking Equity out of Home to Go on Guided Hunts

    I live a decently baller life, with lots of impulse purchased toys and experiences. The main reason for this is that I don't leverage other people's money. I pay-to-play with my own money, not the bank's. IMHO, taking out a loan at the terms described by the OP is not a sound financial plan...
