    Bolt-Gun Build

    There are companies that sell prefits and barrel nut type systems for Howa as well.

    Bolt-Gun Build

    That's not been my experience but I'm sure the number of orders you've placed vastly outnumber the few I've placed.

    Bolt-Gun Build

    You might look into the Bomber actions by Pacific Tool and Gauge. By the time you paid for a used action and had it trued, you'd be into it for about the same as their custom action. And you get a lot more features than you would with a stock trued action, fluted bolt, M16 extractor, threaded...

    NEF Handi Rifle

    My dad has an H&R in .270 Winchester. He's taken deer and several hogs with it. It's not the most polished rifle in the world but it'll do the job. I'll agree that with how light they are you might have to put a good recoil pad on it to mitigate recoil.

    30-06 200 grain

    Yes and no. At 50 yards there would have been no appreciable difference in energy delivered to the target. What would be different is the sectional density. Given two bullets of the same caliber and construction, one lighter and one heavier, the heavier bullet theoretically will have better...

    Camper trailer light wiring question

    Hertervillian is correct. You could bypass it if you wanted but you'll lose some of the benefits having it run through the converter. Also if you're not going to be running it on a battery then it wouldn't matter there either.

    Trekking Poles

    I picked up a set of Mountainsmith Pinnacles years ago for a big hiking trip. The price was what sold me on them and I've been using them hard ever since. I guarantee there are better ones out there(lighter, stronger, more accessories, better grips, etc.), but they've never failed.

    What to expect from Leupold?

    Do as you like. It would be good insurance to check.

    What to expect from Leupold?

    Not necessarily. If the action is out of spec enough it could have bent the mount during installation. I've seen scope bases that weren't completely flat to the action during installation. Some actions are off enough that you have to bed the base, or mount in this case, to the action. If your...

    Pigs

    Cook them first. They're not very tasty right off of the ground.

    Pigs

    You would think so right? There's a ranch not far from where I am that charges $250 for one day of hog hunting and a limit of one hog. It's ridiculous. If you can gain access to private land where people are wanting to get rid of them, that's the best route to take.

    Pigs

    I know a guy with a commercial hunting property here in Oklahoma that hosts two to three hog hunts a year to control their numbers. We've had such a good acorn crop this year in Oklahoma that they're not coming out of the woods to where the blinds are. When I was hunting in the Wichita mountains...

    What to expect from Leupold?

    I had intended not to write an involved post about why you should check your scope ring alignment but it looks like we're to that point. The reason to check is because like anything that is manufactured there are tolerances that each manufacturer has deemed to be an acceptable variation from a...

    What to expect from Leupold?

    I'd check.

    They have one that will pretty much do that too.

    Tikka .308

    I don't have a need for one but a Tikka chambered in 9.3x62 or the 9.3x66 Sako have piqued my interest.

    What to expect from Leupold?

    It looks like they're taking care of you. For insurance sake I'd check for scope base straightness and scope ring alignment. Using the two pointed bars isn't as good of an indication of alignment as previously believed: Article Here

    30-06 nosler vs hornady

    For hogs if you go for a neck shot it likely won't matter which bullet you use. But for shoulder shots on hogs or deer you'll likely want something bonded. Then again there are guys who use thin jacketed match bullets and swear by it.

    Just doesn’t feel right . . .

    Not in the X series but they do in their Long Ranger series. You can bet they're getting calls right now for them to make one.
