    Hunting Rifle Decision: Your Most Accurate Rifle or Favorite Cartridge

    6.5 creed sako is my most precise and accurate rifle. Not light but not really heavy, and extremely shootable. Mil quick drops line up like it was invented for this rifle. Also have 6arc mini, very light little more difficult to shoot well, precise enough, if it had a dialable scope on it it...

    Back up plan- Help me choose/analysis paralysis

    Found recently, the 10x swfa was difficult for a young hunter to get on and stay on slowly moving/feeding animal at 2-300 yds. She does a fair amount of shooting, and is familiar with this gun, but with less than ideal field positions was just too difficult. Next day used a 3-15 swfa on 5x with...

    Is your life revolving around your upcoming Elk hunt?

    No. Always excited for hunting season when it gets close, but way too many things to do to get stuck on one thing.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    I have put many together that way. Taking apart a couple weeks later, base is stuck to gun, and stuff in the threads is cured. Have used it between rings and scope tube, and cures there as well. Used nail polish when I was a kid, and it worked fine too. Have had to heat up screws to get them...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    Just took a 5/16 bolt and nut, both new but not degreased, big drop of 242 on the end of the bolt, and turned the nut on until it was flush with the end of the bolt. Very loose fitting, and within 5 minutes, it was obiously starting to cure. At about 45 minutes, cant turn it without tools.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    I have wondered the age thing. Doesnt take long for loctite to cure when stuff is clean. I wonder if bluing, or stainless has an effect on loctite.

    Gaiters? What do you feel is the main purpose

    In real wet conditions, they only delay the inevitable. As soon as my upper legs start getting wet from walking through brush, its like the gaiters funnel the water right down into my boots. Have had better results wearing the gaiters over a base layer, and pants over them. In snow, work well...

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    I have been playing with a howa mini 6 arc, with stockys stock. With scope it is a little over 5 pounds. Have not had my kids shoot it with the 108eldm, and probably wont. No question it will be too much recoil for them I honestly dont like shooting it much with those loads. Hopefully with a...

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    One thing that I noticed with my mini action and stockys stock, was that the recess for the recoil lug was about .015 too deep. When tightening the front action screw (which goes into that recoil lug) since the bottom of the action was against the inletting, and there was a gap under the lug, it...

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    If it starts good hot, it is not the hpop. If it has motorcraft glow plugs in it and a functioning relay, it should start ok. Cranking speed is huge with these. also, would have someone familiar with these do a buzz test, to check injector condition....with engine near temps that it starts hard.

    Grizzly’s or not?

    Pretty cool. Looks like a sow and 3 cubs to me. The far bear looks to be older than the 3 cubs. Maybe an older cub. Was that far bear comfortable around the other bears?

    Warming up vehicles in winter

    Not sure where I said anything about oil above the rings? I do agree that in most cases it really does not matter much. And yes I warm up everything atleast somewhat. And like I said above, with most modern fuel injection, even stuff clear back to the mid 90s, I really think that cold idling...

    Warming up vehicles in winter

    yes, it slowly progressively becomes less of an issue as the engine slowly warms up, and that is the argument that the people who put out these articles are trying to push, combustion temps get hotter quicker, and engine warms up quicker being worked. No argument there, but I think the negative...

    Warming up vehicles in winter

    Because engines running cold can have some incomplete combustion, leaving fuel on the cylinder walls. This fuel washes away oil on the cylinder walls. This is the theory, and for sure does happen on some scale. Personally wouldnt worry about it on any correctly running modern fuel injected engine.

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    Change the oil and dont run them out of fuel, and the injectors will last a long time. Usually do fuel filter same time every year. See so many of these lately with 300+k with good running original injectors. Injector life got alot better when they got rid of the dual tanks. Looked at one...

    School an SWFA Newb

    You adjusted the eyepiece by looking away and then back at the reticle, over and over? I struggled with this a little on mine, took a few times of very minor adjustments until reticle and target were crisp, with parralax setting reasonably close. Never had any difficulty with this with other...
