    Hunting & Fishing Kenai Brown Bears

    Go to Kenai Peninsula Bears and look at video posted today. This has been a bumper crop of bears here on the Kenai. We have had a fairly good size sow and her two delinquent cubs raising hell in our little neighborhood this week. We are in a corridor where they travel back and forth from...

    Hunting & Fishing The Copper River was good to us this year

    Not trying to hi-jack, just get excited this time of year. Its not moose season--but almost as good. Here is a portion of our haul last year. We put up 45 dipnet fish typically along with some sport caught Sockeye, Silvers and Kings. Its nice to get them in big slugs--but not too big...

    Hunting & Fishing The Copper River was good to us this year

    Nice! Tis the season, the sockeye are starting to pour into the Kenai and sport fishing is starting to get decent. Haven't done the Copper since the mouth of the Kenai was just down the bluff from our house--since we moved outside Soldotna, now I have to drive 15 minutes whether I am hitting...

    Action Screw Torque Accuracy Test.

    We need some industrious type to verify the calibration of each torque setting, the do a ladder or OCW tests of sorts, say 12-120 groups at each torque setting from 38-72 inch pounds in 2lb increments. Should also likely test long vs short action for any distinction as well as different test...

    Paleo diet "Caveman Diet"

    Wouldn't a good caveman diet consist also of cavewomen? Healthy release or stress and overall increase of vigor? I think the caveman or paleo or wtf you want to call it makes sense. Certainly think folks should cut out processed food. Not sure if its advancement of science that we are able...

    Best of the best Custom Rifle Builder's

    Same here. Read through the entire thread through today, couple years here, and no reference to Longrifles, inc., or Chad Dixon. Have had several custom hunting rigs over the years from SG&Y, SISK, Banser, HS and McWhorter, migrated towards GAP and have more than I need along with one Gradous...

    What bottom metal is this--GAP/Surgeon 338L

    Terry, Your a smart man. Stephen was a big help. Confirmed your post completely and advised when they are running new XL actions through their tooling that I can send it down and get an update for an amazingly small amount of cash, + the new bottom metal. Will have to lengthen the inlet for...

    What bottom metal is this--GAP/Surgeon 338L

    Thanks a ton guys. I had a suspicion just by how closely the metal matched with the bottom of the action--openings to both are exactly the same size. Looking at their new bottom metal, it is not as squared off so if I tried it, it would require some filling in the stock. I may give them a...

    Anyone have a guess?

    What bottom metal is this--GAP/Surgeon 338L

    I'll pull it from the stock when I get hom for another picture.

    Advice on steel targets

    I'm in the same position, wanting to get a couple larger gongs to set up out at 1000-1500 yards. Will shoot mostly 300wm and 338lm. Will 3/8" work well at that range? Shooting berger/scenar/a-max boolits. Would prefer 3/8" over 1/2" if we can get away with it--lighter for the biggest part...

    What bottom metal is this--GAP/Surgeon 338L

    So after I decided I didn't use my Lapua enough and decided to part with it, I talked myself into another one. Second hand, said to be unfired, but have some doubt. Looking at bolt/break/bottom metal, certainly looks hardly used, but do not like the 3.65" mag length. Miss the seekins bottom...

    Hunting & Fishing Nosler LR Accubonds

    Very excited about the LR Accubonds. Big accubond fan--even on moose and bear. My father in law and I have both taken a few big bull moose with accubonds from a 338, mine were with the 250gr, his with 225gr. The 250's performed well on my buddies brown bear last fall--I provided a follow-shot...

    F T/R Competition Alaska Rifle Club 2013 Mid-Range Matches

    I'm out for this weekend, but would love to try to attend the two in August. I need to look and see if either coincide with qualification shoot for my Ft. Rich archery permit this winter. Will

    Maggie’s gun show funk

    I have no care in the world how a PETA gathering smells--roses or shit, all the same to me. If I'm there, bet it will smell worse though--such attendance would be over my dead body.
