    Howa VS Tikka

    I've owned 3 Howas now (.270, '06, 6.5PRC). All of them have shot well below MOA with factory ammo. I really like that they offer barreled actions, allowing you to build the rifle more to your wants and needs.

    Small form factor tourniquet

    Snakestaff for sure. I carry one in my pocket. They are also the size of a G19 mag. I have a bunch of CATS for the truck, IFAKS, etc.

    Texas Hog Hunting Bachelor Party Recommendations

    These guys are down in Matagorda County. Good folks and a nice lodge. You could add some bay fishing or other hunts too, depending on your interest and the time of year. https://run-n-gunadventures.com/

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    I have a buddy that would really appreciate one for his Kimber. Seems to be very limited aftermarket support out there for those rifles.

    Howa Builds

    That's the Peak44 Blacktooth. I got lucky and they had one in stock for the Howa/Vanguard. It even came in under the advertised weight at 19.1oz

    Havester Evo is a no go - discontinued - Moved to a Banish 30

    Disappointing to hear that they discontinued the EVO. It was at the top of my list due to price and weight. My local shop has one for $599 in the display case.

    Howa Builds

    Here is my 6.5 PRC I have been putting together over the last couple months. It has shown some promise with the Hornady factory loads over the first 40 rounds.

    Howa 7mm prc

    OP, it sounds like you're on the right track with the Federal 175 ELD-X. I have not found my Howas to be very ammo picky, but I have noticed that my groups typically start to settle in a little better between 50-100 rounds down the barrel. For what its worth, my new 6.5 PRC CF barreled action...

    Peak 44 rifle stocks

    Another data point on LOP - my Blacktooth is a hair under 13.5" as well. Weight is 19.1oz.

    Howa 1500 6.5 PRC accuracy issues

    Sorry to hear about your accuracy troubles. Hope they fix you up. I just dropped the same action into a peak44. I'll get it out for break in this week hopefully.

    Recommendations for best hot tent for 2 people plus gear?

    I really like my Redcliff. As someone said, it is super roomy with two guys. That leaves plenty of space for gear, wood, stove, etc.

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    I'm going to echo a lot of what has already been said. I'm 37 with 7 (and counting) bulging, degenerated and/or herniated discs. I am not a fan of the surgical option (personal opinion). My initial consult was done by a spine surgeon and he told me "You are 31, If I fuse your L5-S1 right now...

    Excited for this year how’d yall season go

    I didn't get to hunt as much this year as I normally do, but I can't complain. Life is good! My eldest knucklehead shot his first dove. Took some boys I served with on an Arkansas goose hunt. Made my annual pilgrimage to to the Palo Duro and was fortunate enough to take two Aoudad Ewes. One of...

    Finally ready for a “wall tent” style tent… Kodiak canvas 12x12?

    I have the 12x12 Kodiak Cabin with the removable awning and absolutely love it. I have had it up under snow, sleet, and high winds in Texas Panhandle with no issue. With the wood stove cranking, it is always comfortable - even down to the mid teens (as cold as i've stayed in it). You might...

    Howa Builds

    I'm looking at putting together one of the carbon barreled actions in 6.5 PRC. Does anyone have a an actual weight on it? Brownells lists it at 5.125lbs. Legacy Sports International could not give me a weight, as they apparently do not see them. LSI also told me that the weight of the Carbon...

    MONTANA TO TEXAS - a possible move

    I've lived in Houston and within 1.5 hours for most of my life. Most of the comments are spot on. It is hot as hell and seems to be getting hotter. We've had a flood of big city transplants over the last decade and that seems to be changing the culture for the worse. Property tax can be...
