I want a Brittany too. I’m no help in that I’ve never hunted behind one, never owned one. But I want one now for the same reasons as you; a good versatile hunter that can come inside the home and ride in the truck up front when I’m running errands. I like the history of the Brittany, too.
It is legal to have the original manufacturer repair a suppressor without re-stamping. So, if the shroud is the serialized part, the manufacturer should be able to repair the insides. It sounds like they may have already thought of that by serializing the part that they did and not a piece of...
Yes. I have an older 3-10 tactical on my pseudo RS special (a ruger ranch) and I’ve dial and dropped. The dialing and return to zero is right on. I have two different loads that I use in it, both with and without suppressor. I have the dope written on the scope for all four load variations...
Anyone take this frontal shot on a black bear?
I’ve taken it on a few whitetail, and wouldn’t hesitate on any hoofed animal if it presented. But the black bear anatomy is a little bit different. Any experience with this?
Anyone use the various lifestraw products? I’ve got a gravity filter from them that I use while I’m at my camp, but my water is pretty clean to begin with. Not really a good test on whether it is effective or not.
You can go to JBM and pu in your own parameters (muzzle vel, alt, temp, etc) and get a chart of your own.

I have 2. A blued take off standard profile 22” I think (never fired) and a stainless from a LWH, 21” that has seen about 100 rounds through it. PM if interested.
For that style of hunting and an under 200yard shooter I'd go with no parallax adjustment, probably a 2nd focal plane, and the ability to have a low power magnification for those running shots. I'm also a standard mil-dot reticle fan. Trijicon has a credo, 3-9, 2nd focal plane that I...
If you are going to shoot with an optic that would be my #1. You cannot tell the improvement from the other upgrades or even if the other upgrades are needed, if you have an optic that won’t hold zero or bounces around.
I’ve chased accuracy in a bolt gun for months only to realize the scope...
I just bought my first rounds of TSS today. Not sure why really, just starting doing the research a week ago and then kinda became obsessed. My 50 yd pattern with TSS #9 looks way better than my 30 yard pattern with #5 lead. And I’ve killed a lot of turkey with the #5 lead. My 20 yard...
I am also an occasional target panic sufferer. Remember that you are the one who decides when to let the shot loose. Whether firearm or bow, you and only you can decide when to do so. What I realized that I was doing was allowing the target, whatever it was, and the sight picture to tell me...
