    I stole a gun today

    75 grain vmax over varget or something of similar burn rate is great for yotes and chucks. I like the Barnes 80 ttsx or 85 tsx for deer, over powders between 4350 and 4831 burn rates. One of my 243s I shot the 85 in liked superformance. The other I shoot the 80 over ramshot hunter. I...

    Sleep Apnea and Hunting ?

    Yeah, my sleep doc told me between the size of my neck and my slightly enlarged tonsils, I didn't have a lot of real estate in my throat. It made sense, when I bulked up in college playing football, my snoring got really bad.

    Sleep Apnea and Hunting ?

    I was diagnosed in my mid 20s with severe sleep apnea. I felt hung over every day, no energy, and was falling asleep driving. Bad deal. Getting my CPAP literally changed my life. I can count on 1 hand the number of nights I've been without it. Truck camping I use a deep cycle. For...

    M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK

    I haven't used a team elk pack, but did have a j107 for a few years. Unless you are short, the team elk isn't going to be tall enough for the load lifters to function at all. It's heavy, in comparison to my seek outside, the team elk weights 2 lbs more and is half the size of the seek. The...

    Irish Setter boots

    I tried a pair of elk trekkers, worst fitting boots I've ever owned. They had no heel cup and a seam in the heel, they gave me blisters almost instantly. Everyone's feet are different, they didn't fit me at all. I have lowa and miendl now, no comparison, totally different league of boot.

    Christensen Arms Mesa

    That is what I understand as well, I have heard they are working on a 6 lug lefty but only rumor. I would love a Wyoming made mark v 6 lug lefty.

    Christensen Arms Mesa

    Savage, Tikka, and the Mesa are pretty much your only option for left handed rifles in that price range. I'm a fellow lefty, it sucks rifle shopping. What caliber are you looking for? The Mesa, in the past only came in standard short action calibers, so it was pretty limited. I see they have...

    Fishing Boat Research/Shopping

    I had similar requirements, I ordered an alumacraft Voyageur tiller and should take delivery in the spring. It's just shy of 18' which is what I wanted, so a little longer than you wanted. The Alumacraft Competitor 165 would be worth a look as well. Lund, alumacraft, and crestliner would all...

    Looking for DIY Deer Processing Ideas

    I have a couple block and tackle fence stretchers I use to hoist mine up, paid a couple buck at garage sales for them. Have a couple old gambrels I got from my grandpa that are commercial hog gambrels. Got a couple cabinets from a friend who was remodeling his kitchen, put 4x4s under it to...

    My Grinder Sucks - Grinder reviews

    We upgraded to a 1/2 HP Cabela's about 10 years ago, its very nice and will last us a long time. The neck is a little small, other than that it is great, no complaints about speed, about as fast as I can feed it anyway. Get the foot pedal, well worth the small price. Our other grinder is one...

    Standard rounds through a 30-06 AI?

    It should still shoot fine at 200 with standard ammo. I haven't seen much accuracy difference when fire forming brass for my dad's 257 AI. Your friend should start reloading though, Ackleys are awesome.

    Sportsmans Warehouse and Bass Pro Terminate Merger

    Yeah, they just finished the remodel here in Helena. I'm not a fan.... Thank God this merger fell through, I wasn't excited about never shopping there again.

    Should I dump my oem plastic Savage 16 stock? (and what should I replace it with?)

    I like Savage rifles, I have several, but I think you are probably better of going Tikka if you want lighter. I don't know of anyone making a lightweight stock for Savage rifles. There are quite a few out there for Tikka, I have been considering one for my Tikka. If grayboe made their...
