    Brake for Howa HS Precision 300 win mag

    I'm looking at getting the rifle mentioned in the title. It comes with a pre-threaded muzzle but its 1/2x28 in 300 win mag. Doing searches all I could find in the real popular brakes was 5/8x24 thread. I asked Howa and they confirmed it is the correct thread pitch and recommended a radial brake...

    Hunting & Fishing Mule deer hunt Arizona 19A

    My buddy and I got drawn for 19A in Arizona this year, which is in my backyard. My first successful big game hunt came in the form of a javelina earlier this year but this is my first deer hunt I've ever gotten to do. Growing up watching hunting shows, I've been dreaming of a nice wide mule deer...

    Radio recommendations

    My buddy and I are looking to get a couple radios to keep in the trucks for communication when out in the woods and exploring the various canyons and some small caverns in the area. I started looking on Amazon but this is one area I have zero knowledge in. We have access to radios we use on the...

    Build a 1 mile gun

    I've looked at the Warner Flat line bullets and they look amazing, something I definitely want to try. Is there a published BC for the 6.5 bullets yet? I've searched several places and the only graphs I could find had data for all but the 6.5. As far as expectations go, I think that needs to be...

    Build a 1 mile gun

    I've always been infatuated with long range shooting for a long time and have recently gotten a good rifle and some gear. This last weekend I pushed my longest shots from 1000 yards previously to 1200 yards with my 6.5 Creedmoor. I was super stoked and still wearing the grin, however I've got...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex service question

    I got my scope back via FedEx today. The repair ticket states that the parallax ring was loose, but no other adjustments or repairs were made. Would a loose parallax ring cause a significant wandering zero? Im talking a 3/4 inch group and then the very next group 2 inches and progressing further...
