    Sold Stone Glacier Grumman Medium

    I have a Grumman size medium. It’s practically brand new, I’ve only worn it a handful of times. I’m asking $300 shipped for it. I need a large, so I would trade for that. I’d also consider a trade for a Grumman Light in a large as well. I should’ve sent it back to SG right after I got it but I...

    25 creed speed

    What’s the solution? I’m thinking about building one but worried about PF and barrel length. I’d like a dual purpose NRL/PRS type of rifle. I was considering doing a 6.5 and 6mm Creedmoor barrel, but I’d rather not swap them out so splitting the difference is ideal. Of course a 6.5 would fill...

    Trying to find load data but I can never find the exact bullet/powder combo?

    With the 140gr AccuBond/BTs? I’ve had good luck with RL15, I don’t think that’s available. Some other powders I’d start with would be H4350, StaBall 6.5, Hybrid 100V, stuff around that burn rate. I’d start with H4350. StaBall 6.5 seems to be widely available and I’ll be trying some in a short...

    Let’s play a game. Build me an optics system with $5K

    I think that’s about how much I spent on my setup. I have Swarovski 10x42 SLCs, 65mm ATX, Leica 2800.COM, a Sirui ET-1204 with a VA-5. I’ve been pretty happy with that setup. While you might say that’s more than $5k I did get some great deals on all of it. Can’t really say, but it was right...

    Trying to find load data but I can never find the exact bullet/powder combo?

    I've used data from Nosler, Horandy, Sierra, Berger, Barnes, Hodgdon...pretty much anywhere I could find it. Occasionally will it match with the bullet that I'm using. Sometimes (this may take some more experience), I've gone as far as comparing powder charges from one powder to another in a...

    Help me update my setup

    I've been using a Rip Cord Code Red since about 2011 or 2012. I don't mind the rest, though it can slap the shelf. The next rest I'll be getting is a QAD UltraRest. Likewise, I've been shooting Black Gold sights since the same time. At first I had a 7-pin fixed sight that got me to 80 or 90...

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    I think it was one herd of cows. But yeah, he said it was bad, he was there in October.

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    I've heard that same thing too. I have a buddy that went hunting there in 2019(?) and he said it was bad. Granted he did say the outfitter he went with was garbage. But, he said they saw like 10 elk in 7 days, but they heard and saw wolves all the time.

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    That's the scariest part about it. People from anywhere can say whatever and those voices seem to always be the loudest. I personally don't mind too much hunting in grizz country, I won't do it alone, but I don't mind it if I have another set of ears and eyes with me. It's getting more and more...

    Here we go again. MT Grizz re-introduction

    I was hunting with a guy that works for FWP in the Sapphires and he said that there were indeed grizzlies in there. He said that they had relocated to sub-adult males in there. The shocking part about a re-introduction into the Bitterroot is that there are already known bears in there. Maybe...

    Fudd?

    I imagine not. I realized it on my own 🤷‍♂️. I know it’s not really a square knot, but it has the same shape and characteristics of one, it just has the loops for quick release. It’s definitely not an “idiot knot” (that’s what we called them), like what is seemingly usually tied on shoes.

    Fudd?

    You needed a Ted talk to figure out that a square knot holds better?

    How do you set your rifle down in the field?

    I had a rifle misfire twice due to dirt in the bolt. The third shot went. All of this happened while I had a deer standing at about 80 yards from me. This was a few months after this picture was taken, notice where the rifle is in the photo. I’ll take more care to not set it in mud the next...

    That must be why...it might've been the next day.

    What meat grinder do you use?

    I have a Weston Butcher Series #8. It makes quick work of grinding. https://westonbrands.com/weston-butcher-series-8-meat-grinder-09-0801-w
