Are they making it in the No. 1 or the M77? I’ve always thought the .35 whelen was sexy. I went with the .338 Win Mag in an M77 tang safety for my heavy hitter, but the .35 is still damn cool.
I grew up in Billings and live in Billings, which may not be as bad as Bozeman, but is still very different than it was 10 years ago. I lived in Bozeman when I went to school, and even then it was getting out of control. The onslaught of people moving in from out of state has been absolutely...
I haven’t seen porcupines chew up stuff on parked vehicles, but marmots and pack rats sure have. I’ve also never had a large rodent problem that a CCI stinger couldn’t fix.
There’s already so many great powder options out there that cover just about every possible burn rate. I can’t imagine that trying to blend them would be worth the hassle or the risk. Now if only Alliant would figure their crap out and get some Reloader series available on the shelf again we’d...
This is the way. If I had to pick only one for hunting everything in Montana it would be my .270, and if I got to pair it with my .22-250 then even better. Both are wood and blued model 70s. The .22-250 killed my first muley when I was 12 and the .270 has seen a lot of mountain miles on elk...
By the way that thing looks in the photos I can smell it from here. I love the “Better back out and not push him, we’ll find him in the morning” attitude with 80 degree weather in September.
Yep. Maybe the rush of everyone looking to corner hop where there’s elk visible from the road will mean a few less people actually hunting where I like to hunt. That’s my hope at least.
Yep. I don’t really care what the manual says, if I need to chain up and go I chain up and go. Clearance is tight but doable. That said I have thought about a different set of wheels to give me more clearance to run the really heavy V bars in the front. Unfortunately most aftermarket wheels are...
If I buy a rifle with fluting from the factory I don’t have a problem with it, but I would never pay extra to have it done. The only rifle I have with fluting is my Sako Finnlight, it looks nice but it makes no real difference.
One of these days I’ll pick up a suppressed .22 pistol, but CCI subsonic hollow points are so quiet to begin with out of a rifle that I haven’t really felt like I’m missing out on anything. To clarify this is out of my 24” barreled CZ 457, they’re definitely louder from the 10/22.
I even shot a...
I’m a big fan of this setup so far. I took it out driving like a jackass on some very washboarded and potholed county roads and it’s a definite upgrade over the stock suspension, especially with 95,000 on the original shocks. The RAS maintains a perfect rake for towing and hauling, strengthens...
$90,000 ish is what I saw on one at a dealership when I had to bring my (work) dodge in for repair for the 10th time. It’s insane. I’m very glad I got my Tundra before the inflation on vehicles hit.
Well I went and shot one. It was nice, but I can’t say I liked it that much better than my old bow enough to spend the money. I ended up just sticking with the old bowtech. I think part of my tuning issues were due to shooting an arrow that was a little underspined.
I picked up a dozen 260...
