    Hunting & Fishing 2025 Filled Tags / Grip & Grins

    Nice critters all, but that is a dandy mule deer. Even sweeter with a bow. I sure wish MT would get their mule deer figured out. Years and years of general tag rut hunts and massive amounts of hunting pressure have not been a good combo for the buck population.

    New Suppressor

    I don't think you can go wrong with the Abel Theorem. Multiple type of endcaps (including a brake) and really nice workmanship. I have a bunch of TBAC cans too, but the Abel is a really nice product.

    Suppressors Abel Theorem S (braked) vs TBAC Magnus RR-K vs Maverick (short)

    Less recoil and less noise? I shot my abel and RR side by side the other day and I have to say the felt recoil and "target jump" was less with the Abel. I have always owned TBAC's, but the Abel can is really nice.

    Is it possible to re-thread a 5/8-24 carbon barrel?

    Thanks All. Lesson learned for me, going to do standard 5/8-24 from now on.

    Elk Hunting Rifles, What are you Using?

    True for sure. About 8 years ago I inadvertently stumbled on the 6 Creed/108 ELDM combo long before the Rokslide dudes made it cool. I grabbed my comp gun for a late season cow hunt and lugged it around one day before I found a cow to shoot. Distance was probably around 500, maybe a little...

    Is it possible to re-thread a 5/8-24 carbon barrel?

    I have a few Carbon barrel rifles that were...(custom threaded) for the Thunderbeast Brakes for the thread over brake style TBAC suppressors. By this I mean the threads were "timed" so to speak so when I threaded the brake on they were perfectly timed without the use of the crush washers to...

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    It's actually amazing how much faith we put in shipping companies. Just personally, I have all sort of shipping horror stories. I had a Manners TCS delivered to the completely wrong address by FedEX. They took a picture of the package on the doorstep, it wasn't my doorstep. It wasn't even...

    DNI Tulsi Gabbard releases report on Treasonous Conspiracy against Trump

    This has the makings of yet another...giant nothing burger. Odds are Barry cooked this whole deal up. Odds are also good Orange Man and Epstein knew each other. Yet another clusterfuck of Puppets and Puppeteers going through a typical weekly news cycle. I feel like our whole governmental...

    Suppressors Abel Theorem Brake

    Anxious to see some of the first hand experiences. I have both suppressors on order, I know that the TBAC is pretty dang quiet, even with the brake on.

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    It's actually a little of both, I seem to have mitigated it a little by really fine tuning the catch on the magazine. It feeds just fine if I am have it on a tripod and carefully cycle the bolt, but it seems to be finicky if my magazine is pressed up against anything or has pressure on it. It...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Brand new RimX owner here... I have mine sitting in an MDT XRS chassis. The only issue I seem to have is that I can't seem to adjust the magazine to get rid of the "slop" and keeping it tight in the mag well. Any advice? I was thinking of just trying to put some tape or something inside the...

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    My first "fancy" rimfire. I primarily use it to shoot gophers. I see I am going to have to do some reading on how to get this thing to feed flawlessly. I didn't even notice the magazines had an adjustment on them and I took it out and promptly wedged a shell in there pretty good. It shoots...

    Which Heavy Duty Truck?

    I put on about 50k a year for work, and have had at least 9-10 half ton trucks over the years. A couple of GMC's then all F150s. Decided to switch it up this year and picked up an F250. So far I am really impressed, it doesn't handle or drive like a "big truck" at all. Has a smooth ride...

    Does Mile high have the best customer service?

    They have always treated me right for sure. I don't mind paying more if you get good customer service alongside it. I have always been "you get what you pay for" type dude and every time I regrettably went the cheap route (optics planet) it was always met with some angst on the CS or shipping...

    Hog hunting rifle choice

    Same exact thing up here with the lion houndsman. They are a unique, competitive, bunch. As a result, there are a lot of them who resort to some shady shit to get on a cat. As to the original post...I am just a hog tourist, but have killed more than 100 and less than 500. Shooting them...
