    Remington Core Lokt issues - Shooting terribly

    From someone else who has had issues with a Kimber 8400 and it's firing pin/firing pin hole/bolt face. TAKE IT TO A SMITH JUST TO BE SURE. It could be an ammo issue, but at this point, I would not rule out a firing pin issue. If Remington was seating the primers a bit deep, and possibly, they...

    POI at distances longer than 300 yards

    What are you running out of that .300? Slug, weight, FPS? What direction was the wind from? My ballistic calculator shows 3.8" of wind drift for a full value 5mph wind from right to left at 400yds for a 180gr Nosler AB at 3150FPS I based this on 1500' elevation, which s. Also, same...

    Nosler rifles and calibers

    I used to sell the Nosler Rifles. From everything I've seen they are well made rifles. The insight I can offer on the Nosler chamberings is that they are based on the .404 Jefferies. In my very honest opinion, unless you are looking for a caliber to try to take an elk at ranges beyond 600yds...

    Sako A7 Roughtech

    From someone who owns and has tinkered with both the A7's little brother (tikka t-3) and big brother (Sako 85). I would suggest that you just go ahead and get the A7. I've like the feel of them from day 1, and you don't have to piddle around with the proprietary mounts of either the Tikka or...

    Did he boil them, or just give them to the beetles? If he just beetled them, it may be worth boiling them...

    2014 First season rifle Bull

    With an opportunity to take an elk perfectly broadside at a reasonable range, a .243 will (as shown above) kill an elk. Would I carry one? No... Here's why... I typically get 5-6 days a year hunting elk. Last year, I didn't see a bull while hunting. I don't want to pass an opportunity...

    Butte MT Taxidermist

    My dad has a Sheep and two goats done by Atcheson's in Butte. They are world famous for a reason. Their work is absolutely top notch, Service is Good as well. I'm in Missoula. If I shoot a Huge bull this fall, it's going to Atcheson's. Period, end of debate. I'd put them as the best taxi...

    So, let's say....

    Don't know the area well, but would it be worth tossing in a fly rod? Fall fishing can be EPIC...

    First on a Fly!

    That would be an experience there! No complaints about the sucker really. It was the biggest fish of the day, and a cool catch. This was one of the deepest spots I've ever nymphed. I had 10' of leader to the lead and my indicator and about 3' of fly line were sunk to get the flys deep enough...

    First on a Fly!

    Awesome Weather this past weekend. A few fish from Sunday. Some Highlights from a 20-25 fish day including a rarity on a fly... First Fish of the day. Nice brown, and what a way to start! A bit better. Both of these browns came out of about 18" of water. Nice fish for skinny water...

    Rifle break in question

    I wouldn't use a bore snake. Most custom barrel mfr's recommend either NEVER using a copper/bronze brush, or using one that's at least one caliber undersized. I've even see a few barrel makers who recommend no nylon brushes as well. If it were me, I'd bring a rod a jag, patches and solvents...

    Rifle break in question

    I think it really matters what sort of barrel you are working with. Here's my best advice straight from Bartlein Barrels. Link http://www.bartleinbarrels.com/BreakInCleaning.htm

    Suppressors

    I've been looking over most of the poaching reports listed on this site for the past few years. There are currently 39 states where it is legal to own a suppressor. It could just be me, but I've yet to see a case (at least posted here) where legalization of suppressors for hunting caused an...

    Suppressors

    16-24 OZ for most .30 Cal suppressors. Plan on 18 oz plus for something that will handle .30 Magnums. Attaching a suppressor will change your zero. Try shooting the rifle with the suppressor on and off. Most will show a repeatable change between shooting with the suppressor on and off. I.E...

    Suppressors

    Most suppressors will reduce the SPL by 27-33 dB. As a comparison, most over ear hearing protection muffs will reduce sound by 27-33 dB, and most ear ear plugs are between 25-30dB. A suppressor is absolutely as effective as high quality over ear muffs at reducing the SPL of a rifle blast...

    Suppressors

    Quick question... If you have a suppressor that attached to a break do you know if the recoil reduction of the break still plays in? I've been wondering about getting a Surefire that will QD onto one of their breaks, and wonder if the Break will still reduce recoil while inside the can. Thoughts?
