    Eye Strain and My Mediocre Eyesight

    Am I assuming correctly that you went from never wearing your glasses, to now wearing them for both the drive and while shooting?

    Boyds Stocks: Laminate or Solid Walnut ?

    I would be wary of any stock that thin around the thumb hole. It's why I won't buy one.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    You are not alone, really want one but don't really need another rifle, so the tikka would be prime.

    What is the best home defense or CQB offensive gun?

    I was wondering about that one. Having had shot a 12" thick pine tree, and finding the slug 30 yards behind it buried in another tree, I would have my doubts of using a slug in a house.

    Oryx Bipod has launched!

    That does matter to me, was considering this for an old hunting rifle. Seeing how I gave my nephew the one Harris I had.

    Vortex Razor HDII issues

    Be surprised how many people don’t know at which range their rifle is zeroed for, at least up here.

    Backup knife for the field

    We have cheap Henkel paring knives in our bags. Use Havalon knives typically though. My nephews outdoor research knife was really nice to use though, and I have one on the Christmas wish list.

    Hunting & Fishing Berger 6.5mm 135 gr

    I’m going with Hydrostatic shock. Last whitetail buck I shot had a small exit wound, but the lungs were mush and the heart had a small hole in it.

    Hunting & Fishing Berger 6.5mm 135 gr

    I shoot 140gr TTSX out of my 7RM for this reason. Small exit wounds, but they do plenty of damage internally. Friend of mine shoots the typical 150gr expanding type, can’t remember the exact bullet, out of his 7wsm. The amount of exit damage was pretty extensive, and ruins a fair bit of meat...

    MK Machining - Terrible Customer Service

    I can vouch for the CS being good. Had a throw lever break, not sure how or what happened(likely the extreme cold, and being tossed in the truck). Shot off a quick email, with pictures of the pieces, the came back looking for a mailing address. Not long after I had a new one. So I was impressed.

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Z6 scopes...Durability??

    My fathers Z6 was sad, great optically, but it failed a very early life. I don’t think he had two boxes of 30-378 through his weatherby, before the scope shit the bed. It also did get wet, but not really submerged in a river. Take that however you want. It was mounted in a Near mfg mount, so...

    2022 Hunting kill thread

    only took does this year. Got my 16yo nephew lined up on a whitetail at 190 yards. Windy as all hell, 20-25mph. He ended up with a neck shot, combination of wind and a pulled shot. Needs far more trigger time to get used to it. His 25-06 did well though. I took a mule at 320 yards, with a...

    New MDT TIMBR Frontier

    I can kind of agree with that, flush cups installed from factory would be nice. Wouldn’t be hard to drill and install some yourself though.
