    Tikka build with MDT HNT 26

    The black one in the picture above is a 6.5PRC on an impact action and by far my fav hunting rifle. My gosh it’s fun to shoot, and deadly. I’m 14/14 or 16/16 on first shot DRT’s with that rifle, I forget which.

    Tikka build with MDT HNT 26

    The middle one (green) is a Tikka 7PRC build. The answer is yes… it’d badass. I’ve got a 20” barrel sending factory ELDX and it shoots tight little groups. I’m doing a trigger upgrade in a month or so that should dramatically things, excited about it. It weighs 11lbs63oz with a double pull and...

    Garmin Inreach Messenger Plus

    Looks like Garmin came out with a new messenger, with the ability to send/recieve photos and voice messages. Price is a little steep, but it has my interest. I’m still rocking an OG Inreach Mini. I need to look at the new pricing changes on plans before I jump in, but wanted to see if y’all have...

    Your top gear items for 2024 (limited to 3)

    This year I did quite a bit more road hunting and lease hunting than anything else, and invested heavily into some new gear. • RRS TFCT 33 - For road hunts and NRL and the like where weight isn’t a big deal, it is magic. Ridiculously stable. I might even eat the weight and take it on...

    6.5PRC 20" barrel at 800 yards

    I love it! I love it so much I actually built a 7PRC on that same chassis. If you’re a backpack hunter, this is the cats meow.

    6.5PRC 20" barrel at 800 yards

    I shot a whitetail doe a few weeks ago at 720-something with factory 147 ELDM, it died immediately. I have shot steel pretty easily past 1100 with the same rifle. 20” Bartlein barrel Omega 300 suppressor 2801fps - maybe 450 rounds down the tube?

    Shopping my first "nice" rifle

    Another vote for 6.5PRC. I just killed the 13th critter last weekend with this rifle, and it absolutely slays with 147ELDM. Everything I’ve shot has been a one-shot ordeal, from 106 yds - 730ish, and everything has either died on the spot or within 20yards or so. 6.5 PRC is the Goldilocks...

    Two Rifle Setup - What Would You Do?

    I guess I never updated this. Turns out I wanted three rifles, here’s what I ended up with: The 6.5 PRC that I mentioned previously. I used a tikka donor action and sent it off to be re-barreled into a 20” 7PRC. Put it in a HNT26 chassis with a NF 4-32, Spuhr rings. Basically copy and pasted...

    Black Hills 77gr TMK - Yummy

    Man, that’s awesome to hear! If you’ve got buddies there still, tell them to keep pumping it out. And let them know we wouldn’t be mad to see a 7PRC TMK load….

    Black Hills 77gr TMK - Yummy

    More from this morning. Three were DRT around 250yds, the other two both took two TMK’s at 480yds. Only one exit from the bunch of them.

    2025 NRL Hunter

    Really looking forward to this year. I’ll be at all three Texas matches, and I’m looking to do an out of state match as well. Did anyone shoot the Gunwerks match last year that can give any feedback? I’d like to shoot one in either WY or UT.

    Vectronix vector x

    I called EuroOptic to check the status of my order and they told me they are expecting the first big shipment of them from Switzerland (fact check me) in the next week or so. I’m hoping to have mine in 2-3 weeks 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Scope Ring recommendations

    I’ve got to where I won’t run anything but Spuhr. That said, there are a ton of great options. Unknown Munitions sells a great set of rings from what I hear, but I’ve never used them personally.

    Black Hills 77gr TMK - Yummy

    Update: 77 TMK works great on prairie dogs too. Ranges were from 150-450yds. The sweet spot for the p-dogs to come apart dramatically seemed to be somewhere in the 225 yard range, around 2200fps. I’m guessing I shot 35 or 40 yesterday afternoon. Picked up an RRS TFTC-33 tripod and wanted to...
