    What's with all the Norma ammo all of a sudden ?

    it has been consistently in stock around here all summer. In common calibers that is. I’ve shot it through my 243, 6.5, and 7-08 recently and all grouped well. The brass is just a bonus.

    Norma Whitetail

    I’ve shot it in 243, 6.5CM, and 7-08. All shot well and the brass is excellent. I haven’t used it on game yet but I wouldn’t hesitate.

    CZ 457 .22 lr

    I groped one yesterday at my local shop. I use the word grope because of the way I lusted after it. It was a wmr or it would’ve made the trip home most likely.

    pirogue usage

    I’ve spent a fair amount of time in one and now have a canoe. It’s tippier than a canoe but better in real shallow water.

    Backcountry deer lever - BLR vs Marlin

    I have a 30A, the glenfield version of a 336, in 30-30. I love it. It was my first deer rifle and still gets packed around sometimes. I have a Vx1 2-7x33 with heavy duplex on it in talley lw’s. I shoot the federal premium 170gr partitions or the 170gr corelokts. It’s a 1.5in gun all day long at...

    Alive day....

    We gotta keep on pushing through. It’s hard for all of us but harder for some. I get it man. Put that head down and keep on walking.

    I miss the old days

    I grew up looking forward all year to the deer camp with my grandpa and the rest of the old timers who had been sharing that camp since the 50’s. Now they are all memories and the camp is no more. I would love to hike in there one more time to find them all waiting on me.

    New ultralight rifle

    I had a superlite in 30-06. It’s a fantastic rifle. All in weight with a vx3 4-14x40 is like 6.8lbs I think. Super accurate and a joy to carry. Get the limbsaver pad though, it kicks. I’m going to pick up another superlite in 7-08 or 308 eventually. I also have a ridgeline in 300 wsm. It’s a bit...

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    Just haven’t made the move yet. I intend on it, at least on my AR’s and precision range guns. I’m not sure if it is legal here in Tn or not. I’ve never looked into it for hunting.

    How many of you hunt with a muzzle brake?

    I hunt with my 300wsm Christensen Ridgeline with the brake on. I use the wrap around earplugs and keep them around my neck. Keep in mind this is treestand use mostly so I usually have a moment to throw them in. That gun is LOUD. Plus I am already almost deaf in my right ear anyway. I double up...

    There Are Still Good Bucks Out There

    One of the best public land whitetail hunters I know hunts with a garand. His rifle has been lugged all over these mountains here at home and looks that way. Congrats.

    Swaro SLC vs….

    I have the SLC’s. Initially wanting the Zeiss, I laid all those mentioned out side by side and the SLC’s won me over. I’m not sorry I did. Best anniversary present I’ve gotten yet.

    New boots

    I have the solomons and the meindl Denali’s. I have a jacked up left foot and can’t make most pairs work. I’m gonna try the schnees next time I think. Good luck. I understand the frustration.

    Remington

    I saw a new 700 ADL synthetic in 308 the other day. The finish was clean and even, action felt smooth, and trigger broke clean. I think the sticker was $600. Just taking it at face-value I felt that was a great price.

    Timberline or Mountain (Sitka) versus Attack (Kuiu)??

    I have both the timberline and attack, plus the first lite guide pant. The attack is my favorite of all 3.

    What to do: dealing with a a-hole

    I’m not advocating this by any means, but that dude could get his valve stems yanked out real quick if he kept acting that way.

    Whats your most accurate rifle?

    Currently it’s a factory Tikka CTR in 6.5 CM. I have a Christensen ridge line that’s coming along nicely but that CTR is stupid accurate and easy to shoot. Especially for a factory setup.

    VX3HD vs VX5HD

    I have them both. IMHO, there is a significant difference in the quality of glass in favor of the VX5. Especially at max magnification and at low light. Both are CDS models and track as they are supposed to, but as others have said the firedot is worth it’s weight in gold. Overall, weight and...
