    How many carry on vacation?

    Fuck TSA, and fuck their “approved” locks. Flew to a class last month, a member of the class was a well known knife maker. He gave out gift knives to everyone. A buddy had his stolen by someone with a TSA approved lock key, everything else in the case was left. AI ASR, can, assorted high end...

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    My ultra light was a 6.5 creed, I ended up putting a brake on it. It was just the shitty kimber radial brake, but it only weighed 1.6 oz and did just good enough to make the rifle more shootable. That would be an option for you at the cost of an oz or 2. Ultra light rifles buck though, the more...

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    Bartlein cf 20”, Mesa (now pure) precision altitude, mountain tactical tikka everything. With a zeiss v4 in nightforce UL rings and my ultra 5 can, it weighs 8lb 13oz unloaded with mountain tac’s 5 round mag. Not sure on the throat depth, kinport peak rifles in ID built it. After a couple phone...

    Tikka T3 & T3x lite barrel weight info - Please add!

    Fluting isn’t going to save you much, maybe 2 oz, but probably less. Chopping to 20 or less plus fluting will save the most, but your chasing oz’s. The biggest weight savings on any rifle is barrel, stock, and optic. Since you‘re addressing the barrel, the next route is an ultra light stock...

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    I haven’t shot the new 70’s since they came back into production, but the older ones are great. I wouldn’t expect the accuracy of a seekins, but they easily hold minute of animal. The best I’ve ever seen out of the 7 I’ve owned was a legit 1/2 minute gun, the average is more 3/4-1 minute. I hear...

    Great analysis of electric cars

    I think the Tesla, ev stuff is cool. Just as an advancement in tech, actually American made cars, etc… Yet, why aren’t we researching bio fuels more?? Algae fuels are pretty enticing to the getting off fossil fuel & climate change argument. Oh wait, money and narrative…..

    tikka magnum in tac a1 chassis?

    You can do that, or buy a .535 bolt body and swap the internals. Also, those are short mags, you’re not putting a 7 rem mag in a ctr magazine. Single feed would work just fine.

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    Yet he couldn’t center punch it either. Also, OP hits 1.5” trash at 100 yards. Loses mind.

    Boeing 737 Max at it again

    It’ll be nice when all this calms down. I’m tired of getting questioned by pax if the bird is safe. It’s usually some Karen type standing in the bridge waiting to board, “Excuse me, sir? Is this aircraft safe to fly?”

    Please believe, I have the attention span, reading comprehension, and education, to digest your posts. Tbh, I didn’t read your entire post as I find your writing style to be tedious and pedantic. From your posts, you might be either a boomer who has recently discovered the internet to a Russian...

    Game Warden stories

    In AK, our fish cops are mostly brown shirts. Alaska state troopers with a fish cop assignment. I’ve had great interactions with them, but I’m sure negative is out there as well. Most of them are hunters/fisherman themselves. The federal fish cops are another story. Those guys can go fuck...

    You are either a bot or should write a fucking book on a bunch of bullshit that no one will ever read.

    Boeing 737 Max at it again

    It wasn’t, foqua data showed inside of limits. I forget the exact numbers, I’d have to go back and read some bulletins, but a component on the gear leg failed. There’s been a few of the exact same failures on other carriers, just non major so the media doesn’t publicize it. I can’t believe they...
