Tikka T1X

Per KRG T1x and T3 use the same torque 65 in lb max. They recommend to not go under 45 inch pounds if you want to try different torques.

I set mine at 65 and it shoots one hole groups all day long.
I had my T1x ACE torqued at 35inlb and felt I was constantly get a slight horizontal zero shift.

Have gone up to 55inlb recently and it seems to be better amd the groups have tightens up a bit. Should probably try going to 65 and see what happens to group sizes.

Made a saya for a knife I made for a friend's birthday. The blade isn't scratched, that is streaks from the wax I put on the handle.
Blade is AEB-L @61HRC, the handle is stabilised dyed birch with copper corby bolts and I've no idea what the saya is. The timber was packing dunnage on a load of decking timber I bought and looked awesome so I saved it. The deck timber was Garapa, so something South American I suppose.
The floor is Tasmanian Blackwood, a plantation grown Arcacia from the South Island

This has to stop

Feral. Like trapped animals.

Exactly, they are feral kids and have been taught to be that way by their feral caregivers who are often not their parents and if they are a parent it’s typically the mother and statistically never a two parent home. They were likely told to do what they did by their caregivers. They are raised in an environment that would be outside of the imagination of most people on this forum. They have human form, but their behavior aligns more with the animal world because of the environment they were raised in.

They, the Amish, are not all this way. My college roommate and best man in my first wedding was born to a 13 year old mother and by the time he got to college he had 5 siblings from different fathers. His grandmother had a hand in raising him and taught him how the world really worked and he observed and listened. She would call our room sometimes when he was out and I loved talking with her, it was a pleasure, she had gained much wisdom over her years. He went on to get a mechanical engineering degree and went into the Marines as a artillery officer. After the service he procured a really good engineering job that he still has. He grew up in the inner city in Houston and he chose not to follow the pattern of his mother and father, but I doubt those little twits in the first video will ever make it out. Some do, most don’t.

Elk Hunting Rifles, What are you Using?

Depends on what kind of hunting you’re doing right? If it’s truck to overlook, weight not much an issue unless you’re running into position. Day hikes you better be under 11# tops. Backpack hunting or trudging through the bush shoot for about 8# is what I’m thinking. Depends on your hunting style. And how fit and heavy YOU are and what you can handle.
