    6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

    Been shooting factory 140 ELDM loads out of my Tikka. MV with this factory load is about 2650 measured by Magnetospeed. A buddy is going to help me work up a load to try to get more MV and accuracy. So if you weren't wedded to a factory load all of a sudden and had a clean slate, and had your...

    Home businesses

    Is there already a thread about home businesses? Been thinking about it a lot lately, after talking to people personally and reading financial advisor types all say that everyone should have a home business for the tax advantages alone. Wife and I have a couple ideas we think could work, would...

    Future of Water in the Southwest vs. Retirement Plans

    TLDR, my wife and I think we’ll retire to AZ in the next few years from active duty, but it seems like the sky is falling wrt to the future of water in that part of the country (i.e. the future of the Colorado River being unable to meet demand.) Would water concerns make you think twice about...

    Factory ammo velocity thread?

    Swear I’ve seen a thread where everyone shares their MVs. Might have just been for Tikkas, can’t remember for sure, but I tried ten different searches and couldn’t find it. Anyone have that thread link handy?

    Kowa 663 vs. Athlon Ares & Maven CS1: Another Spotter Comparo Question

    If you could have a brand new Maven CS1 or Athlon Ares for roughly the same price as a used Kowa 663, which would you prefer and why? Hoping for some inputs to help me make a decision. Budget is under $1k. They’re all ED glass, which doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the same but they’re at...

    Sold Mystery Ranch 3DAP

    Relatively uncommon military type 3DAP that were made with the interior load harness and additional tool/axe loops with interior sleeve pocket drain holes on the front. Coyote brown. One of the older Bozeman builds (2009) so it’s built like a tank. Just don’t have a use for it at this point...

    147 ELDM “TAP Precision” Experience

    @Formidilosus or anyone else have any experience with the 147 ELDM “TAP Precision” LE ammo for the 6.5 CM? I can get it on Mil/LE deal, and I’ve been reading a lot about the 147 ELDM. Seems really appealing ballistics wise, has greater energy at the muzzle by a small bit but the retained energy...

    Feral Goat

    Didn't think mountain goat forum was appropriate, and I don't see anything about feral goats on the forum other than using them as pack animals. Searching "goat" brings up a million hits for antelope, mountain goats, etc. I'm sure goat isn't high on most lists for favorite game meat, but it's...

    Question for the mechanics -- 2017 Honda Pilot issues

    Sunday waiting in line at an oil change place with the accessory ignition on for about an hour, my wife's Pilot then wouldn't start. Oil change place jumps it and checks the charging system, says battery is fine but alternator isn't charging. I go to Auto Zone from there, they check the charging...

    Sold Mystery Ranch Timberline + NICE frame + Daypack Lid

    Doesn't look like one of these has ever been sold on the forum here. Been going back and forth on selling it, but I have two other packs that pretty much fill the same requirements, and I've been moving this thing around for 10+ years now, time to clean some stuff out. 2008 manufacture date...

    Sold Wild Things Tactical Andinista pack MIL

    $100 OBO shipped anywhere in US. Condition is new without tags, I've never used it, it's just been in a box making the moves with me for the last ten years. Color is coyote brown. Before I post a bunch of copied manufacturer description, I'll just generally say what it is: a frameless...

    Help ID’ing this bag

    Anyone recognize this bag or the manufacturer logo? I’ve googled about every combo of letter and numbers I can think this logo might imply but no luck. Says Made in the USA.

    Hawaii Hunting

    Been posting in the DIY Lanai Axis Deer thread over Archery, but figured I'd start my own thread since I'm actually not hunting archery (yet), I'm not doing DIY Lanai Axis (right now), and I'm gearing up for more than just Axis out here (pigs, goats, spearfishing). New hunter this last season...

    Just got Maven C1s

    Ordered Maven C1 10x42s on Wednesday, somehow got them delivered in Hawaii on Saturday. This is my first time looking through a serious set of binoculars, so I can’t compare to anything other than high end rifle scopes, but man. These things are incredible. I honestly can’t believe they’re so...

    Well I bought an E-bike

    Not for hunting though, sorry to disappoint. Moving to Oahu in July, and pretty much anywhere you live off base is a minimum 30 min commute, that's the standard price of entry. Up to 60 min on the longer end. Hawaii still has pretty nonexistent e-bike laws, so they are allowed on all public...

    Best, Available 6.5 CM Ammo

    Hoping to get out and start shooting my Tikka T3X Superlite in the next 2-3 weeks, so the search for ammo has begun. I have some thoughts/questions and I'm interested to get some opinions. I'm planning to buy whatever ammo I can find, cheaper the better, to just put some rounds down the barrel...

    SCAM Alert -- Everyone on this forum should read and heed

    Time to air the hate in my heart. This is a long post, but it’s therapeutic. Read and heed to see how I got duped by a scammer on the forum here, because I think there are lessons everyone should learn from this. It pains me to say it, because I don’t want to give this guy credit, and I am...
