    Ball head, silly question.

    Does ball size matter? (Stop it......) As long as the head is rated at a max load of more than I be putting on it, is there any advantage to, say, a 44mm ball over a 28 or 30? I'm looking to set up my first non-Bog-Pod shooting tripod. Budget is a big factor & it seems like if there are...

    Lower cost Arca bipod?

    Do these exist? Everything I'm finding is very much in the wrong side of $150 most are twice that at least. I'm not looking for an ultralight, high-tech carbon, ceremite & adamantium job; just straight aluminum. It's for 99% range use.

    Longer .223 Tikka mag option

    Dillon sizing?

    I load large quantities on a Dillon 550. I recently bought a lot of 'fully prepped' 5.56 brass. I'm getting tough bolt closure with my Tikka .223 & is near impossible to close the bolt on my little straight pull AR. Seems like it hasn't been fully sized. It all needs the shoulders pushing back...

    Sold SWFA 2.5-10 Ultralight BDC

    Anyone? I know they're like hen's teeth & honest politicians, but I've got a 3-and-a-bit pound AR that's gagging for an ultralight scope! I have a Burris Fullfield II 2-7x35 I'd offer in part trade, if wanted, or straight up cash if not. WKR only, or Li'l 'sliders with sales references. NO...

    Sold 2-7 ish scope

    Looking for a small, light, cheap scope to go on an AR. I'm talking Redfield Revolution/Burris Fullfield/Bushnell Elite 3200 kinda thing. Really trying to avoid Vortex if possible. I've had too many warranty repairs to trust them anymore. Nothing much over $100 (It's for a SUPER budget build...

    223 brass.

    I've honestly never paid that much attention to .223 brass in the past. I've used what i pick up at the range, done all my own processing & not worried to much about headstamp or .223/5.56 crossover. But now I have an actually nice .223 & I'd like to take more notice & care of what I'm feeding...

    Significant weight loss.

    As I've happily admitted in many posts over the years, I've always been a fatty. Well, a few months ago I decided not to be. Well, I decided I needed to shed about 20lb anyway. I have osteoarthritis in my left ankle & complications from a gunshot wound in my right knee & as I'm getting older...

    Home euro mount. Please advise.

    I've cleaned with Borax & degreased for 48 hours in a strong Dawn solution. Right now he's on his second peroxide application. I'm thinking maybe a third would be good (12% cream) After he's all white, should I clear coat him & how long should I leave it to dry before spraying? This is only...

    Madder'n hell. (Ticam II opinion needed)

    I just went to put my Lowa Tibets on to go hunt this morning. First time I've needed them since I got home from Wyoming in November & a mouse or rat has chewed a hole in the freaking left heel! 🤬🤬🤬 It's deep enough & large enough that it no longer provide any stability or support & wouldn't you...

    Cheek riser bargain.

    Quick heads up (pun intended) I just found these & they seem like a hell of a deal if you're wanting to avoid kydex. I just ordered 2. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145494600411?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gnSuERNoRVu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iDuv8uDWSwO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    PSA for late season hunters.

    This is mostly aimed at guys like me: easterners who venture West. If you're going to be out there when the temperatures drop into the negatives & the humidity is in the single digits at best; don't forget to breathe 'backwards' IN through the mouth, OUT through the nose. I was in Wyoming in...

    Cool vehicle addition

    Hope this is ok. I have no affiliation other than I bought one before my Wyoming hunt this year & it's an incredibly handy piece of kit! Not for everyone, I understand, but one of those silly, simple things that if you have the need for one is absolutely indispensable...

    Silencer recall.

    No idea if this is applicable to anyone, I know zero about suppressors, but I just saw this on Instagram & thought I should share.

    Wyoming residents; ORV question

    I can't seem to find any more recent info than 2002. If I'm using a road legal & registered motorcycle on non-numbered NF roads/trails, do I need to buy an OHV sticker? The 2002 regs read like I don't, but I don't want to take a chance. Thanks!

    Verification shot?

    So, I just dropped a bit of a clanger. I printed off a quick range card for my Swede to take out to Wyoming next week (8-9000' altitude difference). I checked all the come-ups & checked my dial super quick (spin it up, spin it back down) trouble is, it kept spinning down! I literally just...
