    Hunting & Fishing Cellular Trail Cam Info

    That Tactical Reveal is a decent price. Their monthly fee is not too bad either. I see the camera is currently, "Sold Out." Go figure.

    Golly, none of these are cheap! The Covert model is a bit cheaper, but it does not have the solar built in.

    That would be great. Meanwhile I am going to look them up. These little gems are going to spoil me. Although, I do have one spot that is kind of a pain to get into so I thought I would put one in that area. Thanks.

    Hunting & Fishing Cellular Trail Cam Info

    Four years ago I purchased a cellular based trail camera. I just took it out of the package, and placed at my kill plot. The brand is a Covert Scouting Camera. Due to it's age it is a 3G model. The 3G system will no longer be supported after 12/2020. Depending on how well this one works I...

    Hunting & Fishing Strictly Chuckin'

    Range Day I like this thread! These little critters have moved into our range facility. They have brought new meaning to our range training days. They were both hit with 308 cal, 168 gr, Hornady A-Max rounds. Both shots were pretty close. The one hog was shot through the side at 135 yards...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    Well, after perusing all this information I am leaning towards the .243. Her uncle can and will handle any reloads that we made need whether it be for the .243 or the 6mm family. I considered the break on her .270 but I don't think I am going to do that although I have not rule that out. Because...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    Truly, where she hunts from she will only be taking shots out to about 250 yards.

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    This is all good stuff. Thanks for all the input. As far as a muzzle break goes I had not even thought of that. Definitely a consideration. Many people do seem to quickly recommend the .243. I will tell you that since I have been reading here, that 6mm cartridge has peaked my interest. Whether...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    Reloading. Her uncle does all my reloads. As I read more here at the hide I see the 6mm cartridges are quite popular. I really know very little about them. Just kind of assumed they were considered more for target or varmint hunting. She and I tend to prefer a detachable mag.

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    I am just looking for opinions regarding a rifle adequate for whitetail deer hunting that has light recoil. My wife currently shoots a Sigarms SHR-970 chambered in .270 but says it is a little much for her to shoot. Particularly while at the range. Some of my friends have suggested the .243 or...

    Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago?

    Where is a good place to pick up a Pre-64 style M70 action only? New or old production. Right now I am having an 06 built with the stiller TAC-300, lilja barrel and manners stock. I would also like one built with the old M70 style action which is why I am asking.

    Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago?

    Here is a link to the Rifleman's Journal which has a three part article on the .30-06. I found it an interesting read. The author talks about his reload options in part 2. The Rifleman's Journal: Cartridges: Accuracy Secrets of the .30-06 - Part 1
