    Unknown suppressors OG testing

    The problem with that example is that to be fair you would have to hold the 45 lb weight roughly 3’ away from you.

    Why you should wear eyes and ears

    Sorry to hear that, and I agree with your statement, but technically, your glasses caused the burn.

    Sevr Hybrid 1.5 vs 1.75 for Elk

    I’m in I a similar boat, currently I have exodus and 1.5 sevr hybrids in the quiver. From my research I’ve seen basically two opinions. First there’s the “mechanicals are not acceptable for elk” crowd. And then there’s the more reasonable crowd that’ll state that mechanicals are acceptable if...

    CVA Breechplug change

    I just went through this dilemma and just bought a thousand of the cci magnum primers. I’ve never had a problem with the fed 209a, but the cci is supposedly far superior. I couldn’t find any data on if or how much better the arrowhead design with the rifle primers is so bought the primers while...

    Planning a Mountian Lion Hunt and Have a Few Questions

    Definitely get on demand for when the snow flies. Three of us went on demand. On all kinds of tracks with the fresh snow and dwindled to nothing as the snow melted. Came back two months later for the last cat and were on his tracks before first light. First two were a female and a small male...

    175 Barnes LRX in 308 Win?

    The issue with monos and lower impact velocities isn’t well known and isn’t easy to show. Barnes will show decently expanded bullets at lower impact velocity, but the problem is they expand very slowly so you get a pin hole in the near side lung and a barely adequate hole in the offside lung...

    Shooters World Multi Purpose Black for muzzleloader: measure by volume or weight?

    Not really apples to apples. And what’s the max charge allowed? BH is 120 by volume, I’m guessing that this would be 150 by volume?

    Alligator Hunt Options

    Look at the style of hunting in each state / area too. There’s a lot of different methods used. Some look to be more adventurous and some more commercial harvest if you know what I mean.

    Field shooting. Its hard.

    Thanks, great write up. Maybe another takeaway would be that gusty crosswinds at 600 yards is a no go?

    source for Nikon Fieldscope eyepieces?

    I’ve got two and would let one go for a good price. I’m not sure but I think I have the 13-30 and the 13-40. I’ll take a look and get back to you. The scope is awesome and incredibly light!

    The Fog Factor while hunting Mountain Goat

    Just a guess, but probably has something to do with saving for four years, bribing buddies to cover shifts for you. Missing a child’s important event and having listen to your wife every time money comes up how you spent HOW MUCH to sit in a tent in the rain for ten days! Some peoples lives...

    SWFA 3-9 Low Profile Turret Interest

    Awesome, just curious, would these also fit any other scopes? Perhaps the 6x if I’m lucky?

    Another hunter mistakes grizzly for black bear in Idaho

    I work in an industry where everything is recorded and every accident is gone over with a fine tooth comb. While there are plenty of cases where idiots messing around are the cause most of the time it’s good people who made an honest mistake, were lead down the wrong path, or just plain had...

    Tikka 6.5 PRC MAGAZINE is there a 3rd mag that works?

    I got a stainless version a few months ago and it came with the LA bolt stop. I’ve been using the 3 rnd la mags with it. Can’t stand the 4 rnd either.

    I Need a Scope--Explain it to me like I'm 5.

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned a fixed 6x SWFA. If that isn’t the easy button I don’t know what is. Take the savings and buy a 223 and another 6x SWFA and put a couple thousand rounds through it and you’ll be 100x better shot than any other option.

    Sights for old eyes

    I tried some new .019 pins and immediately went back to my old .029 pins. I do use a peep, but while I was looking I held up a bunch of sights at arms length and they looked the same as looking at them thru the peep.

    Buy a new Tikka or rebarrel existing HOWA?

    So here’s the follow up. Got the stainless 6.5 prc, vertical grip, limbsaver, and put the maven on it with backcountry rings. Looks good, feels good, but not a huge fan of the mag, but it’s not bad. Excited to finally get out and shoot it today, and to be totally honest, I just found out I’m a...

    Factory Second 147’s?

    I gave some a shot and figured I’d just use them for plinking if I didn’t like them. Couple of busted tips, decent weights, same length, but the ogives must be messed up because when I loaded them they came out at different oal’s. Hard to see in the picture, but the last row is 147 eldms and the...

    Looks like I’m going to try a verifier. Thanks for y’all’s help.
