    You can never go wrong with a .30-06 ;)

    Welcome! I'm just down the road from you in Bend, myself, and am relatively new to the area & hunting - you can learn a lot from this forum! (Much of it wrong, of course) Just kidding!

    rimfire accuracy problem

    My first .22 rimfire rifle - I am using a CMMG barrel in an AR-15 style upper. I have the actual CMMG .22 barrel - not the subcaliber insert that you can use with your .223 barrel. I am getting rather crap accuracy with multiple different brand-name cartridges. The best I can do (bench rest...

    Help me understand the ballistics here...

    Testing out different factory loads in my brand new Tikka .308... I know different rifles just seem to prefer different loads (for no good reason), so I bought a few different loads to test. I can completely understand why some groups are wider than others, but why the hell is the bottom group...

    Oregon draw results are up

    Well, my first year hunting out west, and my first attempt at some bear - I did connect with a little guy in the South Central zone who was probably a yearling (Retriever sized, not St Bernard sized) - thanks to everyone here for the great advice! He's not a trophy, but some meat in the freezer...

    Oregon draw results are up

    Whelp, I got a tag for South Central, but this is my first year doing this so more of a learning experience, really. If I connect, it will be due to sheer luck <g>.

    Bear Calling?

    As a solo hunter, I rather like the idea of being able to place the source of the call 20-30 yards away from me...

    Bear Calling?

    Just curious what people's experience is using electronic predator calls for bear? Do you need a dedicated system or can you use your phone and a bluetooth speaker?

    Oregon FICS delays...

    No, I have a very uncommon last name. I've been told in the past it's because I (was) active duty with a security clearance, but I find that hard to believe - Secret clearances are a dime a dozen on AD...

    Oregon FICS delays...

    Maybe so? - the gun shop monkey at the first shop I tried told me that CHL holders were having an easier time. Problem is, it takes SIX MONTHS to get an appointment for a CHL application. OR state law states they only have x amount of time after you apply, but it doesn't make allowances for...

    Oregon FICS delays...

    Good to know, thanks! That's about the only shop in town I had not called or walked into & asked. I guess I should have been more persistent!

    Oregon FICS delays...

    I see we live in the same town. Have you found a FFL that will do that? Because I've pretty much called or visited every store in town without finding one that will do that... one of them said they would for "previous customers"... which doesnt help me as a new arrival.

    Oregon FICS delays...

    Any other Oregon residents here stuck in a "delay" status? I've been trying to buy a new rifle for 6 weeks now, and OSP will not return any emails or phone calls at the addresses listed on their website. I just retired from the Army, I think I'm a pretty good security risk... Apparently...
