    7mm short magnums.

    I love me some 7wsm. So easy to load for and those 180 vlds smash elk. I was late to the 7wsm party when I bought one in 2016. I only had 100 pieces of win brass. A couple of years ago Winchester did another run and I bought 500 pieces. Unfortunately my barrel died at just under 1k. That...

    RRS Ballhead to Ruger American

    I purchased the KRG Bravo with ARCA for my Ruger American beater/trunk gun. KRG knocked it out of the park. The Ruger factory stock is definitely the limiting factor for a budget rifle that shoots so well.

    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    I don't know what the fraud/loss threshold is for the USAO in the District of Montana but this is not even close and the G was not the victim. I would not hold my breath on federal involvement. My last order the Liberty Optics took about 6 months to fill. I thought it was odd but Scott always...

    Rifle Competition Events PNW / OR / WA club matches?

    Here is a calendar with matches in PNW and RM regions. Not mine but I appreciate it. Match Calendar Sun Valley Targets in Moxee is probably the closest. I have not shot it but I hear good things about it. If you like to shoot in the wind Cossa, Rock Lake, Lead Farm and Blue Ridge are worth...

    Camping at matches

    I car camp at most matches. There are always porta-johns. If it is over 100 I will rent a hotel room. Always fun to hang out with folks and engage in post shooting shenanigans. I've stayed in buddies RVs at matches from time to time but I just can't justify the expense of owning one. I prefer...

    Reasons people compete, and what grows the sport.

    I hate FB for the data mining as well. It kills me that we as a shooting community use a resource bent on our destruction... but I digress. If you are in the PNW this Google calendar works pretty good: Match Calendar I am not the author, I just appreciate the resource. Cheers

    2022 Black Friday Sale Thread

    One of my buddies paid off his dental school student loans working for fedgov doing dentistry for low income in under served area. He came out of that experience hell bent on pediatric dentistry. He explained, kids don't have meth mouth, smoke or smelly beards and always have some form of...

    Ruger American essentials?

    The crappy factory stock on the Ruger American is definitely the weakest link. The Magpul stock while not fancy by any means is a good upgrade. The stock will not flex like the factory stock if you put a bipod on it. Moreover, it has adustable comb height and length of pull for a growing boy. I...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    It is pinned as well. It is pinned as well, should lift off.

    Is NRL going away?

    I don't know for sure but match attendance was down after covid, politics and it really was a western us series. The hunter format offers something different than the usual prs style match.

    Is NRL going away?

    NRL stopped their centerfire precision rifle matches and switched over to the NRL Hunter Series matches. Format is different, rifle weight class, blind stages, find target, range target, engage target. Do a search you can read all about it. I just shot one, and it was a really good time. Way...

    People Familiar with Portland - Check In...(FML, getting relo'd there temporarily)

    Be sure to look at the commute times that u are actually going to make when making the drive. While Vancouver is technically 15 minutes away that is only in the middle of the night. Get on Waze and look at commute times. On Instagram you can peruse wtfportland and posportland to get a feel for...

    People Familiar with Portland - Check In...(FML, getting relo'd there temporarily)

    Do you have children that you are going to put in public school? If so, I would avoid living in Portland and stay out of Multnomah county. Look at either Washington or Clackamas counties unless you can afford private school. You can have up to 50 fentanyl pills for "personal use" in Portland...
