    Gunsmith bedded stock - cant remove action

    I bought an old Remington 600 Mohawk last year. It came in an aftermarket fiberglass stock, which I couldn't identify, so I tried pulling it apart to see if there was any marking inside. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it apart and wondered if it was forever bedded. A friend suggested...

    Ultralight Custom Break Action Rifle

    Well done on Swiss Cheese, sir. That's the lightest Contender I've seen.

    Blacktail deer cartridge

    While this viewpoint is outdated, it still works. I'm a dialer now, but in reality, I rarely do so in the heat of the moment. In addition, I wonder how many opportunities are missed because hunters fiddle with ranging and dialing instead of just sending it "1997 style" instead?

    Smallest full framed turkey gun

    Every turkey hunter should check out Vortex's new red dot. I just mounted one on a Mossberg .410. I like it a lot. https://vortexoptics.com/viper-shotgun-enclosed-micro-red-dot+reticle-3~MOA~Dot

    What’s the best advice you’ve been given?

    Do you hunt with two rifles or bows?

    What’s the best advice you’ve been given?

    My teacher and football couch told me as I was headed off to college that “90% of success is just showing up.” Twenty years later, I’ve found his advice works in many facets of life.

    Sig Zulu thoughts?

    I’m not a chest pack user, but the weight and size isn’t any more than 15x56 Swaros my buddy carries in his chest harness. You could make it work.

    Sig Zulu thoughts?

    The only image stabilized SIGs I’ve used were the HDX Pro.

    If you could build any short action coyote gun…

    My integrally suppressed .22 Creed barrel from SWS Rifles has 14 inches of rifling with the final 6 inches as baffles. With 80-gr. factory ammo, its right at 3,000 fps.

    Do suppressors reduce barrel life

    This is news to me. Care to elaborate? Barrels wear out from the throat forward, so I’m wondering how adding a suppressor could increase throat damage.

    If you could build any short action coyote gun…

    Many posters are neglecting these points. The .22-250 and .22 Creed ain’t gonna be fur-friendly. I stick with the .204 Ruger suggestion with the right bullet.

    If you could build any short action coyote gun…

    Lots of rounds will drop coyotes, but if the goal is to preserve fur, that changes things. I'd suggest .204 with a 40-grain Berger. Avoid the shoulders.

    Mini 14 build.

    The OP must already know that an AR-15 will be cheaper, easier, and far superior from a performance perspective. That said, sometimes people just want to be different.

    This made my day. Thank you for sharing.

    204 for yotes

    It's a great round with the right bullet. I've witnessed the 32-gr. V-MAX blow up on shoulders and not penetrate. With the 40-grain pills, I've never seen any issues. Good luck!

    Tikka build with MDT HNT 26

    I've not shot off the ARCA rail, but if that's your thing, I can see it making sense. I mainly use a pack or Javelin bipod for front support.

    To spotting scope or love life?

    Big spotters are just dead weight to me afield. The only one I carry and use is a Nikon ED50 with fixed 27X wide angle lens. It weighs like a pound. As for binos, that's trickier. I've owned Swaro 8x32 and 15x56 binos for the past 5 or so year. I loved this duo and wasn't planning on changing...

    Tikka build with MDT HNT 26

    Regardless of trying before buying, if you can financially swing it, I don't think you'll find any issues with the HNT26. It's my favorite stock, and I'm not even a chassis guy. In addition, everyone who's used mine feels the same way. This chassis isn't just hard to beat; in the current market...

    Tikka build with MDT HNT 26

    Where do you live? Likely someone nearby you could meet up with.

    Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

    These lasted way longer than I expected. I bought frantically before finding out about the discount code on here.
