I appreciate your understanding and ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. I am an avid lifelong hunter, gun owner/enthusiast- the OP’s unsolicited Gianforte publicity made me angry. Seems to me he has been not a good politician for the general hunting public. I’m disappointed in my...
Apparently even Donald Trump thought it was a wise move to rein in the ability of mass murder by assault rifles when he banned bump stocks. First federal gun control in a long time…from DJT, not democrats
What do you expect from a politician that was shot in the back (of the head) by a crazy with a with a *30 rd clip*? I wish the assault weapons crowd had no interest or association with hunting
Don’t entangle the 2nd amendment (I consider myself to be a strong supporter), the NRA and Gianforte with strong hunting and access rights. Gianforte-good for the assault rifle and millionaire crowd, bad for hunting, hunting access, big game and stream access.
I think Greg Gianforte SUCKS for many reasons that don’t begin to touch on my 2nd amendment rights-most notably for me, elk management, hunting access to private land, and stream access through private land. During his first term he let his true colors shine on the issues listed above, now he’s...
Technically to be legal, no one can commercially pack for you unless they have a commercial use permit for that wilderness unit of the Forest Service or BLM. There are probably only a handful if not just 1or 2 businesses legally permitted to do this. Start by contacting the appropriate Federal...
Mmmm if you’re referring to what she’s got under them shorts as a chum bucket then I’m a tiger shark. Wish she’d a pulled em down just a touch for the photo
I bought a four wheel pop up truck bed camper, grandby model in the spring of 2020 and have used it hundreds of times at this point-I sleep as good in it as my own house. I have not stayed in a hotel since buying it and save about $4000/year in motel costs when working out of town. I use it...
You have good taste in cartridges and barrel length. I strongly suggest finding a good, small, local gunsmith and have them build you a basic hunting rifle to your specifications. You won’t regret spending the little bit of over-budget money. My custom rifle is pretty basic but it’s my most...
I would go with a 30-06 or 7mmrem mag-you could go lighter for deer but I think the 3006 and 7mmrem mag are the best all around caliber for deer to moose. Affordable ammo is available everywhere, both calibers are plenty flat shooting and recoil is definitely tolerable. I find the jump in recoil...
I mix brass that has been shot different numbers of times, of the same manufacturer and from the same bag/box and have .25moa. If I load 20 rounds there will often be brass that has never been fired and brass that has been fired multiple times. I always full length resize, trim and clean primer...
I would go to a pawn shop and pick up an old junker Remington 700 LA and take that to a good (small business) gunsmith and have a custom rifle built to your specifications. Being as u hand load, you could have a tack driver that fits you like a glove for the same price or less than many of the...
I think comparing a chambered rifle throughout a full day of big game hunting to a chambered shotgun throughout a full day of bird hunting is like comparing apples to oranges.
Having a chambered rifle near me makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I have 3shells in the magazine with an empty chamber. I only jack a shell into the chamber when a kill is imminent. If you think having a round in your chamber will make you more successful you’re probably the kind...
I got a steal on a Remington long action in 7mmrem mag at Sportsman’s warehouse one October about 10 years ago because I spotted rust on the action(I was looking for an action for a custom rifle). Talked to the manager and he sold it for half of what it was priced at because of the rust. This...
And what happens to the long term ROI of YC heli skiing if you have to get clients on the helicopters in Big Sky or Belgrade versus walking out to the helipad a few hundred yards below your mansion on Sweetgrass Creek.
