    Montana spring 2023 bear guide

    I’ve hunted spring bear in montana the past 2 years. First year with my son and some of his friends and this past year with my dad. We got on bear both trips. My wife is wanting to go this year so I am considering trying to find a guide. Not really looking for a full outfit type deal. I have a...

    New rifle build

    Current production FN/Winchester CRF action. The barrel will be the same finished diameter as my featherweight 30-06 but 2” longer. So the .280 barrel should have just a little more meat left than it.

    New rifle build

    I would rather had the edge hunter but the MPI came along priced right and available right now instead of 6 months from now. Hoping to take the rifle on a Montana spring bear hunt.

    Had a negligent discharge tonight. Learn from me.

    I had a very similar incident with a marlin 30-30 when I was 13 or so. I made it back to the truck( Subaru Brat) before papaw did. I was freezing and couldn’t take it anymore. I got in the passenger seat with the rifle on my left side. I took a few minutes trying to get warm before it occurred...

    New rifle build

    I’ve been all over the place for the past few years on a custom rifle. I was leaning heavy towards buying aftermarket action and using a barrel nut barrel and assembling myself...... but I happened to get a brand new in the box Winchester M70 in a trade deal. Since I don’t have any cash tied up...

    What are the chances?

    I am in the preliminary stages of planning a camping/ hunting trip for my son and three of his friends for their senior trip. The other three dads will be going as well. I am looking at spring bear and maybe turkey in Montana or Idaho. We are all experienced eastern whitetail and turkey hunters...

    New Career. What would you do?

    I manage a small powerline construction company. I’ve been in the industry for 20 years now. I absolutely love the storm response and disaster recovery side of the business. To go back and start over I would figure out how to exclusively do storm work.

    Pulmonary Embolism

    My wife had a very similar thing happen about 6 years ago. Tripped on the door mat walking in Church fellowship hall and bumped her knee. About a week later the blood clot passed from her leg to her lungs. 1 very large clot and several smaller ones. She still has some trouble with her leg...

    Tiger King

    This is the perfect “don’t do drugs” example. What amazes me is people keep financing ventures for these crazy people.

    The Rokslide Social Distancing for Hope Thread

    Work is still the same for me if not a little busier. My wife’s business has slowed down a little bit. The biggest positive for me came this weekend when I got to officiate the wedding of a very good friend. The preacher canceled 4 days before the wedding and they couldn’t find another to fill...

    Favorite Walnut/Blued Rifle

    I’m a big fan of the Winchester M70s. This is the newest of several that I have. All wood and blued. I have trouble resisting a M70 with a nice figured walnut stock.

    Roll your own rifle

    I have looked at some of the diy stock duplicators. If it hasn’t come across yet I just really like to build stuff. Even when it building stuff to build other stuff.

    Roll your own rifle

    I have some walnut slabs I sawed years ago stored in the barn to build a stock out of one day.

    Roll your own rifle

    Yes I will pretty much just screw in but you MUST check headspace. If headspace isn’t right it will require fitting.
