    Middle of rifle season your rifle spends all day in snow then rain

    Thanks for the tip. I've been using 15w40 mixed with diesel or transmission fluid so that sounds better.

    Middle of rifle season your rifle spends all day in snow then rain

    It has its place. In Louisiana where our rifles are always wet but rarely below freezing, it's wonderful stuff. Great for the saltwater exposure.

    Is it all Leopolds

    Ahhhh mannnnnnn. A 1-8 ATACR was my dream scope and now yall are telling me stuff that affects my dreams.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Dude must be rich af if he's hunting in north America with anything that says nitro express on the barrels.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Well, idk about yall but I'm jealous.

    Is it all Leopolds

    Funny you bring that up. I had to single handedly get them to disappear in my circle of friends. They were amazed that I could often shoot their magnum better off bags than they could out of the sled. I knew all along that was horrible for the scope and the stock, and was likely jiggling the...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    I shot quite a few deer with those, all at close range. They would likely be the most rokslide approved .30-30 bullet. Best BC by a long ways, and very few of them exited. They always came apart to some degree. Killed very effectively but no exit and one poor blood trail and needing a dog sent...

    Is it all Leopolds

    Mannnnnn, how i would so very love for the VX3i 2.5-8x36 to have passed the drop test. That's easily my favorite general purpose hunting scope. Super light, only about $400, great glass, made in America. There's so very much to like about it. Mine have been great and I will keep using them as...

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Well, I don't particularly care if it's SWFA or someone else. I just want my $500 reliable dialable hunting scopes.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Thats why I'm keeping my hopes up that we don't get yet another Christmas tree illuminated reticle 5-35x72 scope with a 35mm tube and ultra phosphated zinc glass for $2k at the expense of the 6x and 3-15 SS SWFA had a very unique position in the market- plain Jane scope with the necessities...

    Next Rifle Cartridge?

    Something big and stupid and fun, like a .416 rem mag or something.

    .338 Lapua...worth the effort and cost?

    Ive shot about a dozen with bonded bullets from the win mag. Very little meat loss. Just a big hole straight through. Works great. Not popular opinion here but it's actually the best and most consistent performance ive ever had on whitetails. I always get exits, always have chunks of bone and...

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    I know it's too much to ask, but a reliable and affordable scope is all I ask for. Theres reliable scopes out there already past the $1200 price point. Gimme that sweet cheap reliability back and I'll be a happy camper.

    .338 Lapua...worth the effort and cost?

    They're at least $100 when I do find them for .338 Im on my last 15 accubonds. When I bought the rifle, 250gr partitions was the only thing I ever planned to shoot out of it. Getting close to 1000 rounds now and it has never seen a partition. Such are the times. Sometimes you can find stuff...

    .338 Lapua...worth the effort and cost?

    Not really the same thing, but as a .338 win mag blaster, I wish I had gotten a .300 just because of the bullet costs, options and availability. .338 bullets are expensive. Im working on cast loads for my win mag just to try to get below $1/shot.

    Single Shot Mountain Rifle Build: CVA Scout

    My scout 2 had a huge telephone pole of a 26" bull barrel on it and probably weighed 8 pounds. Kinda ruins what is otherwise a fantastic budget rifle. Unfortunately it takes a lot of metal to make a break-action high pressure rifle. I wish they'd make a mountain-hunting centric one. They could...

    Simple Field Watch recommendations

    I have a timex expedition that's probably 15 years old now. I think it's only on its 2nd battery. Looks like hell but still keeps perfect time. The indigo thing is awesome. Objectively, its a better watch than any of my automatics are.

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Yea, I don't understand why increasing risk of popped primers/stiff bolts/stuck cases in inclement conditions are worth an extra whatever FPS going over book max gets you. If those extra FPS are necessary, why not use something with a bigger case? Sorry for pissing in yalls cheerios. I'll see...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Well, the sidebar conversation you inserted yourself in was specifically about hotrodding. Perhaps I should pose my questions in crayon? I find that hard to believe since those rifles were available in .270/.30-06/.35 whelen. But, what I'm trying to understand is why this community is both...
