I don’t think this is just a Montana problem. I think this is systemic to big game/bird hunting nationwide. The rifle deer season opened this weekend here in Tn and I reported 2 violations myself. One of trespassing, after I asked them to leave, and another of shooting off the county road onto...
I have 2 of them myself plus a Vx3 2.5-8x36 made in the late 90’s. None have ever lost zero. All in the Leupold original style ring/bases or Talley LW’s.
If you already have an AR in 556, then just order a 6.5 Grendel or 300BO upper from palmetto state. I helped a friend sight in a 6.5 Grendel AR the other day and it was super accurate. Plus you can always change the brake out for more recoil reduction. I have also been working with my AR 308...
We have a local public trail system where we live and have encountered unleashed dogs a couple of times. I didn’t have anything but a trekking pole the first time and that kept them off me. The second time I was better prepared with a can of freeze + P OC spray. I gave him a snout full when he...
I’m an Aimpoint fan and have been for about 20 years. The holosun’s are a good value also. I recommend just looking through a few different ones and then deciding.
I had a Crosstrek for 3 years. It was the best little car for fishing these east Tennessee rivers. Easy to park and handled the rough gravel roads like a champ. Plus I could 3 point turn it around in just a second and didn’t have to look for a big pull off. But man that thing was loud on the...
I was there Saturday night, right below your seats 2 rows off the field. Tampa’s pitcher let one sail during warmups and broke a lady’s arm about 3 rows behind me. That’s not speculation btw, it was absolutely broken. Those lemonade sweet tea slushes are no joke.
I’ve got that same rifle in 350 legend in the safe right now. It’s my dad’s but it’s on loan for the boys at the moment. It locks up sturdy and is plenty accurate. Good luck with the whelen.
I’ve been using one for the past 2 seasons. I don’t dislike hunting with it but it is hard to carry through the woods. I prefer a compound but it’s not in the cards right now. Maybe next year hopefully.
My 9 year old is 4’9” and 75lbs and shoots the crap out of his 243. It’s a Ruger American compact with the 18in barrel. 100gr Hornady BTSP handloads and he loves it.
I’m about to be packing around a ridgeline 300wsm with a YHM Resonator K on it. I’m a little concerned about the overall length but I expect the recoil to be minimal. For most of my hunting in the east I feel like the 20in ridgeline in 308 with a can would be perfect. I screwed the can on a...
