    6x45

    For some reason this cartridge has intrigued me lately. Those of you that have one or played with one could you post up your thoughts and experience with it? I'm most interested in performance with bullets on the heavier end (87-108gr). Actions,mags, barrels and barrel length, velocities...

    168 or 178 Eld-m in the .30-06?

    Curious if anybody out there has experience with either of these bullets in the .30-06 for hunting. Game will be anything from deer sized up to moose sized. Rifle is a t3x battue with 20" barrel. Ranges at this point will be from 0-400 yds. However, after a scope upgrade I would like to work on...

    Thumb position for recoil management?

    What's everybody's prefered thumb position for mitigating recoil in a standard weight sporting rifle? I've watched a lot of prs and nrl videos on YouTube where guys have very vertical grips and their thumbs alongside the stock... but these are 20lb+ rifles. I have the vertical grip on my t3x...

    Canadian Hilleberg owners?

    Just wondering if hillebergs are worth the bending over we take to get them up here. I've been looking at the Nallo 4 for a while but according to the numbers hilleberg sent me it's going to cost me about $1600 of our Canadian pesos. This tent would mostly be used for family camping trips with...

    Hilleberg Anaris

    Hey all. Just wondering if anybody out there has tried out the Anaris yet. I'm looking for a high quality general purpose tent. Looking at the hilleberg lineup I think that most of their tents would be more than I need for 90% of the time, yet Id still want something that can handle some snow...

    Canadian siltarp manufacturers?

    Just starting researching a lightweight siltarp to add to my kit. I'd like it to be preferably under a pound. I'd also like to buy something that's already in Canada, as I'm getting little tired of being raked over the coals when something has to come from over the border. So far I've found...

    Yet another tikka stock question....

    Just wondering if anyone has extensively modified a factory tikka stock. I have a t3x battue in 30-06 that I really like except for the stock. I need more of a monte carlo style buttstock to suit my body dimensions. I currently have the comb built up with foam and shell holder, and a limbsaver...
