    22 ARC or 6ARC

    All that said, plenty of deer have succumbed to a 22 win mag behind the ear.

    22 ARC or 6ARC

    The velocity threshold is a proxy for energy. It takes energy to cause a material to deform. The amount of energy required to deform a given material can be determined by integrating the area underneath its stress strain curve. Once this value is known if you can divide by the mass of the...

    22 ARC or 6ARC

    If I was buying primarily a hunting rifle for my significant other, i would rank ft-lbs of energy higher than drop and drift and vice versa if it was intended to be primarily a target rifle. I think the 6 beats the pants off the 22 in the energy category IIRC.

    22 ARC or 6ARC

    The 6 ARC has more appeal to me, for the same reason you stated. In theory it should be more forgiving of marginal shot placement. What is it about the 22 that you like?

    Recommend me a boot (low volume feet)

    I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum, with very wide feet. I never found a boot i loved until i had a pair made to order to my measurements by Drews.

    Best tenkara rod?

    They aren’t sexy and they certainly aren’t tenkara, but I have an eagle claw trailmaster that’s my go-to for backcountry fish. Super slow action, but it gets the job done. What i like most is they can convert to a spinning rod and be used for casting lures if you come across a lake with fish...

    Sleeping pad recommendations

    When i was wildland firefighting I used a ridgerest. Not the comfiest, but you’re never going to have to deal with the heartbreak of discovering your mattress won’t hold air at the end of the day. These days I use an older version of the trail scout and my wife has a trail lite. They are on the...

    Long time lurker. Never felt the need to post anything because every question I’ve ever had has already been asked by a member. Finally registered for access to the classifieds. I’m in the PNW’s wet side. Lately it’s been a struggle to get afield as I’ve had toddlers and a studs out remodel...
