    Wildlife reintroduction - why only predators?

    I listened to a podcast (Meateater I think) on it and short version was that Idaho couldn’t get animals to bolster the herd so the only viable solution was to send the remaining animals to Canada to preserve the genetics. I can try and find it and post it for those interested.

    Agencies announce decision to restore grizzly bears to North Cascades. I guess this makes it official

    I like how the article says humans killing grizzlies is the reason they aren’t there and in the next sentence states the last one seen was in 1996. I’m sure Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are happy to send over some bears since the hunting season is on hold.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    The only thing that makes sense is they used to get scopes during a production lull and now the suppliers are busy building scopes for bigger customers so swfa gets the shaft.

    Reloading advice: bullets? Vary for target/hunting?

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/why-match-target-bullets-for-hunting.203770/ This thread helped me understand bullet selection. It is worth a read. If you shop around you an usually find factory seconds which will save you money on practice bullets.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    They still have most of 2024 to let us know what more is coming. Maybe they will start filling orders from 2022/2023?

    Montana rifle company

    You can buy a flat top stock and get it inletted. I have 0 personal experience with this but I imagine a decent gunsmith can do it. It also opens up some options for you in stock design.

    Winchester model 70 "Coyote" version worth building on?

    Stockys is going to release a model 70 stock, so that should help with aftermarket support. What is your experience with Timney triggers in model 70s? I put one in mine since the factory trigger was awful but I still have the original that I could have worked over.

    Winchester model 70 "Coyote" version worth building on?

    I’m going to have to disagree that trading a model 70 for a rem 700 is money ahead. Winchester has a 3 position safety, which allows the gun to be unloaded on safe. The trigger won’t fail and freeze or decide to fire when the safety gets tripped. The only advantage is aftermarket parts...

    Winchester model 70 "Coyote" version worth building on?

    There are custom guns built off model 70s, you can search around and find examples. The biggest “issue” is the extractor cut when rebarrelling just costs more but I wouldn’t view it as a negative as long as the gunsmith doing the rebarrelling knows what he is doing. In the stockys thread...

    Idaho Wolves, the story no one is talking about.

    There also a chance the attorneys for the state did a poor job arguing. Never under estimate the ability of a bad attorney to screw up a court case.

    Help selecting new mountain rifle

    If you want to replace barrels without a lot of hassle, you can buy a barrel vice and prefits for tikkas and do it yourself. A t3x lite will be a little cheaper and you can have it threaded, and it meets your criteria for reliable and lightweight. I don’t think they make a t3x lite in 6.5 prc...

    Q - The Fix

    I misread, thanks for the correction. Sounds like the barrel needs to be sent in to proof research.

    Q - The Fix

    Probably how the barrel was made. I would contact Q and ask them about it, for what the rifle costs it shouldn’t leave the factory with a bad barrel.

    Tikka T3x Superlite SS 30-06 (Optic needed)

    I have a 3-9 accupoint and it is a good scope and you don’t need batteries for the illumination. It would likely work for your uses.
