I've got a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extreme's (uninsulated) that are great in pretty much every way, except for when I'm walking on fresh, "dry" snow when they squeak something awful. It doesn't happen on dry ground, or when the snow is slushy, but when it's very cold and the snow is powdery...
As I've been waiting for my SWFA 3-9 to ship, I decided to kill time by snagging a new (to me) barrel for my Tikka T3 off the classifieds. My Tikka is a T3 in 30-06 and I'm spinning on a 6.5CM barrel from a CTR. I put the barrel on and it closes on a Go gauge and won't close on a No Go gauge...
Accidentally picked up the wrong box of Barnes bullets. Looking to trade these 165s for the 168s I typically shoot. I'd also consider trades for 165 or 180 gr AccuBonds or sell outright, $50 to your door.
Box is unopened.
Took my Tikka apart a few months ago to send to the smith to get the barrel threaded and since it came back I've gotten some range time but I've really increased my dry fire practice because I can do that in my living room when the kids go to bed. After my first range trip I noticed that my...
I’ve got a Tikka in 30-06 that I reload for and it’s not going anywhere. But I also inherited a few hundred rounds of reloaded 308 and a mess of 150gr projectiles but have no rifles chambered in 308. Now I’m debating if I should get a 308 barrel, get a rifle in 308, or just selling/trading the...
Warne 1” medium rings for a Tikka. Includes the recoil lug and mounts to the integrated dovetail. Never opened or installed, got a 30mm scope instead. $40 to your door.
Shop tuned my bow 3 weeks ago and found splinters on 3 of 4 limbs. The bow was shooting bullet holes for me and the tech when I left that day, but Saturday they swapped the limbs and now it's shooting 3" right and a bareshaft at 20 yards missed the 18-1 entirely. I'm more than capable of...
I’m retraining myself to use my Nock 2 It properly to achieve a surprise shot and I can tell when I’m doing it right because I end up saying holy shit twice. Once when the shot finally breaks and then again when I see how well my shots are hitting.
So for those of you who’ve made the switch...
The family is getting ready to pack up and move to Texas and I've got a small chest freezer that's about half full of meat that I'm looking to bring with me. Unfortunately, driving to Texas in August means I'm going to be competing against some pretty aggressive temperatures, so I'm wondering...
Last weekend I took a few shots at the bison target at the Total Archery Challenge. I was still dialing in my slider for 90 yards, so I put two arrows a little low and apparently discovered the steel supports running through the legs of the target. As a result, I've got two arrows ready to be...
I just finished my first Total Archery Challenge this weekend in South Dakota and now I'm looking at my next steps to getting my setup ready to hunt pigs and maybe deer down in Texas this year. My current setup is a Mathews Traverse, 60# 28.5" DL, Black Gold 3-pin slider (pins set to 20, 30...
I ordered my first bow a few weeks back and I already signed up for the South Dakota Total Archery Challenge in June because I figure anything worth doing is worth overdoing. For arrow carriage/storage, should I just get a quiver attached to my bow, carry the arrows in my pack, or get a belt...
I've got a pair of the older Aerowool boxer briefs and I'm looking to get a few pairs of the newer 150g Wick versions. Did anyone notice a difference in fit between the two? Some of the reviews I've seen reference the rear seam working its way into the wearer's anatomical rear seam, but...
Yesterday was the last day of Spring turkeys here in South Dakota and I was able to locate and set up on some birds but couldn't close the deal. The first two were gobbling at eachother from the roost at first light and I got set up and called back and forth for about 45 minutes. They would...
I'm getting ready to go wear multicams for a few months and Uncle Sam is going to provide me with the cheapest cotton t-shirts taxpayer dollars can buy. Does anyone know if First Lite's Dark Earth is close enough to USGI "Coyote Brown" to allow me to avoid getting knife-handed to death by every...
Just like the title says, in looking to pick up a T3x stock to replace my T3 stock. Bonus points if you've got the hand grip attachment!

My uncle organized a family-wide elk hunt this year in the White River National Forest near the Flat Tops Wilderness Area of Colorado. We had a group of 7 hunters ages 14 to 64 and all in various states of physical disrepair, so we went with a semi-guided hunt with River's Bend Outfitters in...
My family and I are heading to the Meeker area for 4th season elk and we're hoping to find a spot to verify our rifles' zero. We were going to head to the Meeker Sportsman's Club, but they're closed the day we arrive. Any spots nearby that make for a handy rifle range? I know any BLM land is...
