    Your identity may have been compromised (Idaho, Washington or Oregon)

    I PM'd Robby about this and he hadn't had a chance to post this. Seems that a company that was responsibility for applications for Idaho, Washington and Oregon was breached and a lot of data was obtained to have a free for all in the form of identity theft. See these links from the Idaho Fish...

    Cleaning Rifle Brass?????

    I was visiting with a knowledgeable gentleman on the phone a couple days ago while ordering more "stuff" for reloading. The subject of cleaning rifle brass came up and he said that he does not clean the inside of brass (only the outside) due to accuracy issues. He said that tumblers...

    Chamber issues

    I need some help/advice: I bought a Kimber of Oregon 82 Custom Classic in 22 Hornet over the weekend. I was told that it had been reamed out to shoot K-Hornet and that the gun shot good. Well, I took it home, slapped on a scope and started to shoot it. First shell out I noticed that there...

    Replicating a Hornady 243 Custom Lite load

    Anyone have any ideas on replicating a 243 Custom Lite load from Hornady? I have a guy who wants me to load some 243's to match the Hornady load. He has bought 800 rounds of the factory version and thinks that someone should be able to come close to loading them cheaper than buying them. He...

    Kifaru Late Season vs. ????

    I'm going to New Zealand next year for tahr and chamois. Thinking about getting a different pack for the trip and really liked the Late Season as an option when I looked at it when I stopped by Kifaru recently. I like the option of the 22 or 24 inch stays for airline travel and using as a...

    Sage Grouse and ESA

    I received the following BGF email about the proposed land grab, etc. with a potential listing of sage grouse under the ESA. This would not affect just grouse, but livelihoods and other hunting and access. I was expecting Robby to post this but he is in the backcountry and hadn't gotten the...

    Homemade Larabar recipes

    I did a Google search on RS and didn't find anything on point other than Ray mentioning that he does this. Anyway, my CrossFit gym is doing the Lurong Paleo Challenge for the next 8 weeks and this is one of the foods I would like to look into. Also, the time period will include my trip to...

    Annealing options

    Needing some help on picking out an annealing setup. My FIL does the "heat and tip" method which works but I'm not inclined to go that route. I really like the Bench Source setup, but don't necessarily like the price (will go this route if something of better value doesn't show up). Does...

    State of Rotteness

    Here's one to read from SCI on the California lead ban and the stacked deck. Again, just a blueprint for the rest of the States to follow as soon as the antis get a foothold. http://firstforhunters.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/california-state-fish-and-game-commission-update/ Just another reason...

    leupold rangefinders

    Cabelas has a sale on the Leupold 1000 rangefinders. Thinking that they are $100 off regular price. Too bad I already have one or I would be buying.

    REI holiday sale?

    It seems to me that REI will have a sale over Labor Day Weekend but my memory is going sometimes, especially this close to hunting season. I've got a bunch of water treatment options that I want to buy (Katadyn Hiker Pro, MSR pills, Steripen and Aquamarine drops) for my daughter science fair...

    Nice buck

    This one was on my phone this morning. Don't know any details other than the picture came from the outfitter. Don't know what is cooler, the massive rack or the double drops.

    State Fish and Game Budgets

    I ran across this article yesterday: http://fwp.mt.gov/mtoutdoors/HTML/director/2014/MJ14.htm I'm not picking on Montana, but I am kind of curious how applicable the concept of the nonresident fees/licenses revenue as a percentage of the various western state fish and game departments is. The...

    Nevada draw... tic toc...

    Based on what the word is, tomorrow is the day. Nevada has been good to me. Serveral years ago I drew a 231 elk tag and had a great hunt. This year I have drawn a 241 mule deer tag in the NR guide draw and hoping tomorrow will be good news for a sheep hunt:). What are you hoping for, if...

    Berger bullets and other ???

    I started load development for the 25.06 (Remington 700 Sendero) yesterday. For those of you not familiar with the Sendero's, it has a 26 inch barrel and 1 in 10 twist. I'm aiming to use 115 grain VLD Hunting for mule deer hunting, etc. I'm dull and boring and provide no pictures. Anyway, I...

    26 Nosler

    I've looked at getting a 6.5 caliber for some time and the new 26 Nosler has peaked my curiousity. Nosler claims point blank from 0 to 415 yards if zeroed at 350. Not sure that this is the one, but would be interested in something in the 6.5's: 6.5-284, 6.5-06, 260 Remington, 6.5 SAUM, 264 WM...

    241 mule deer

    I'm so stoked. Just found out that I drew a 241 mule deer tag for Nevada.:cool: As scouting in that unit is a practical impossibility for me and I'm not going to waste this tag; this will be a guided hunt. I've hunted with the outfitter before on a 231 elk so I am as excited as I can get...

    Interesting test on a frame

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoPBlrqTbbY&feature=youtu.be Not posting to create a fallout, but kind of fun to watch. I'm guessing the Rokslide discussion might have had something to do with this. Keep it civil, please.

    30mm scope recommendations

    I need to stay out of gun shops as I periodically find something that I like. I picked up a Remington Sendero Stainless Fluted the other day in a 25.06. Didn't need it, but almost like new and the price was right. The gun came with quick detach 30mm rings and bases. The scope was not...
