    Name this rifle!

    The rokstok in the coloration/design of the western meadowlarks feathers would be an awesome camo pattern as well for western plains hunting.

    Name this rifle!

    Meadowlark may not sound mean enough but in the link I posted it also says this: “The Blackfoot see Meadowlark as a bringer of peace and protection.” Who wouldn’t want a rifle that would bring the animals we are hunting to peace quick and ethically and protect us from all things that may hunt or...

    Name this rifle!

    The “meadowlark” after the state bird. There is a lot of symbolism to the meadowlark to many people especially many native tribes...

    Roasts or Burger?

    We save the tenderloins and back straps, rounds get saved for canning and couple get smoked and shaved for lunch meat, and whatever is left gets ground. Can never have too much ground

    Old, cool, impractical but still fun to shoot calibers

    My dad has my grandpas Winchester 1892 in 38wcf (38-40) I would love to get my hands on and shoot a whitetail with. Ammo is still out there but definitely not easy to find any more.

    Lever Action anyone?

    Still love to take out my late grandpa’s Winchester 94 in 32 special. Hunting was the one thing he ever did for fun so I take it out just to remember him.

    THOMPSON CENTER ICON RETURNING (Anyone have any knowledge on them?)

    I don’t know anything about the icon but I own a venture in .243 win and really like it. For the price it is super accurate and has never had any issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to get another tc if I know I can trust the new owner to build the same quality rifles.

    Rebarrel to fast twist 270 Win or go 6.8 Western?

    Velocity does dictate energy but so does bullet weight. They work in combination. The heavy high bc bullets hold velocity longer and with the weight also have more energy at range

    Rebarrel to fast twist 270 Win or go 6.8 Western?

    You are correct that they don’t list an energy limit for expansion. But at recommended velocity for expansion OP still wants to meet 1500ft/lbs so please respect that as he has a limit to what he wants

    Rebarrel to fast twist 270 Win or go 6.8 Western?

    I would rebarrel it to a fast twist since it means that much to you. You won’t be happy otherwise. I have a factory browning fast twist 270 and love it. Haven’t loaded the 155 Lrx in it yet but I have loaded the Nosler 165 ablr with success. I get 2870fps out of it pushed by RL26 and under MOA...

    Wolf killed by Duck Hunter in Wisconsin

    I had to laugh at their estimate of 1,000 wolves. I live in north central Wisconsin and have been to a couple meetings where the topic of wolves came up. There are definitely a lot more than that. Conservationists said it straight out. When they were off of the protected list and had the first...
