    Retrax truck bed cover question

    Have had them both. Had the Retrax on the diesel and have a hard folding 3 piece on my Tundra. Retrax takes up some bed space so not optimal on a short bed, also in the winter, it can freeze open. Prefer the 3 piece for those reasons and it holds up to 300lbs so snow can stack up on it without...

    Investment fund for the grandkids???

    There are multiple avenues 529 - is great but limited to education spending - can be passed to 2nd child if not full used Roth IRA - great idea but money is locked until 59 1/2 unless big penalties are paid - taxed up front and grows tax free Annuity - works like a personal pension with nearly...

    Tipping for 2 on 1 hunt

    I start at 10% as a min and go up from there. Has nothing to do with whether I fill my tag and everything to do about service and experience. Been pretty lucky to have some good experiences that landed around 20-25%

    Sounds like you spend a lot of time being offensive. Enjoy that My claims are based on my personal experience and not the need to validate you, it's not worth my energy.

    Yeah, not a fan of the bolt lock on a Tikka. I have to take it off safe to open the bolt...no thanks, there is always a chance and I have read there have been AD's due to this. No personal experience here though.

    Which action to buy

    Out of the two original choices I recommend the Mack Bros....it gives you a significant number of custom features from the factory which the Tikka does not. There is a reason no one suggested the weatherby or other action....Do you have any data that shows the Tikka actions performing better...

    Which action to buy

    It is correct.... There isnt an American Action that meets your requirements? I haven't? Sounds like you know my life pretty well....you don't, so don't put make your assumptions mine, it offensive. Used to have a TRG and liked it very much. Wish I had never given that rifle up....Yes, the...

    Which action to buy

    Tikka's single screw attachment is a suspect setup for a light trigger, if it comes loose you are in deep trouble - I run 1.5 lb triggers on all my hunting rifles and 9 oz triggers in my comp rifles. The Rem clones are safer. We are always talking about country of origin in everything we do and...

    Which action to buy

    Remington based actions will always be more versatile and better to work with - ask any reputable smith and they will tell you they would rather work with Rem. Second, Mack Bros is an american based company and Tikka is from where?? Oh Finland, sub of Sako, yes they are good but when all else...
  12. Article 4

    Which action to buy

    Go with the Mack Bros - all Rem footprint actions are infinitely more able to be upgraded, customized and good solid parts and accessories are everywhere. Tikka is getting better but still way behind. BAT machine or Defiance for me and I prefer the former. I run the Vesper, the Vampire and the...

    Convince me…

    True - easy to do on a Rem action

    Convince me…

    I had a RUM and loved it, turned it into a 30n and love it more - same velocity (+/- 100 fps) with more space for bullets in a more efficient case. Sounds like you are ready to go with your build and I am a big fan! My 2 cents if you want a balls to the wall 30 to run giant high BC copper...

    Best Lightweight 0 Degree Sleeping Bag?

    Aron Snyder leaving Kifaru

    Could be - even so, cash out and put all your energy into a growth brand with universal appeal, even outside of hunting Kudos
  19. Article 4

    Aron Snyder leaving Kifaru

    Makes great business sense. He is likely keeping a stake at Kifaru, some percentage of profit on a very mature brand that is in the top of its lifecycle to focus on a growth brand that could see 200-500% growth over the next 10 years and appeals to significantly more customers as a brand. Well...

    Why are you shooting PRC, AI, creedmoor, or WSM?

    One of the factors in what someone decides to run could be timing. Ill share at the end. Many of the newer calibers are taking into account longer and higher BC bullets in their case design (neck and should design, freebore, case capacity, mag capacity etc...) which the WSMs and other calibers...
