I’ve been seeing a bunch of ads for Nosler’s new line of factory ammo featuring the old solid base bullet. Just curious if Big Fin or anyone from Nosler sees this, are they bringing back the solid base as a component bullet as well? I and probably others would buy a whole lot of them if they...
I may be the youngest angry curmudgeon I know, but I really wish people actually had to go explore an area in person to figure out what was there. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I’d get rid of all of the mapping and online scouting tech in a second if I could.
Man if you’re already spending that kind of money I would have a hard time buying anything other than Swarovski ELs or SLCs. I still refuse to look through a pair of NLs because I don’t want to be tempted to cheat on my SLCs.
Apologies for the derail on the homicide. It’s a horrible thing and I have a very hard time believing it was random and not targeted. That’s not to say I won’t have a .44 sitting next to the cot in my wall tent next weekend, but that’s nothing new.
I can’t really say that I agree with them doing it but I get it. I’ve met a few sweet dogs that came from the reservation and I’ve been around some that were very dangerous. Never pulled the trigger on one myself and I would hate to do it.
Maybe I should have said informal policy. I seriously doubt it’s written into policy, but a lot of dogs get shot there, by tribal members too. Lodge Grass, Crow Agency, and especially Pryor get pretty western. There’s a lot of stuff that slips through the cracks with violent crime being so...
BIA law enforcement frequently reverts back to a shoot on sight policy with feral dogs on the Crow. I don’t blame them one bit, and I almost dusted an aggressive dog with my AR when I found myself working on the reservation recently too.
I like my Noslers but there’s nothing wrong at all with basic soft points, especially in the .308. I know two big Montana moose and a whole shop full of bull elk that were all killed very efficiently by 130 grain Winchester Power Points from a .270.
I’ve had to do a couple awkward turn around and run back to the truck maneuvers going into concerts or events when I realize I’m getting into the metal detector with a 43X.
I vote for a 20 gauge over a 28 if waterfowl is part of the equation. The gas guns will soak up more recoil, but my Benelli 20 is still very soft shooting. Can’t go wrong with any good semi auto though, Browning, Winchester, Beretta, Benelli, or Franchi.
I used a 94 GMC 2500 for a work pickup for 2 summers. 5.7 and a 5 speed manual. I loved that thing. A little bit gutless on heavier trailers, but it was a tank, and I bounced it down a lot of central Montana 2 tracks. If I found the same truck in decent shape and had the money to burn I’d love...
