    Chasing weight...

    Or jump in with both feet and see where it goes. I just built a second 300 WSM off a tikka, mesa altitude, 20” bartlein CF, with the same optic as my previous post, ultra 5, that one weighs in at 8.6#. A touch of a handful with the ultra 5, pretty pleasant with my area 419 brake or my ultra 9...

    Chasing weight...

    The biggest weight savings is in stock, barrel, and optic. My origin, xlr magnesium, proof sendero 24”, ultra 5, and Zeiss v4 (23.4 oz) in NF ultralight rings weighs in at 9.7#. In 300 WSM, it’s perfect. Great balance between shootability and light enough to climb mountains, pack around for...

    Recs for 8 yr old first hunting rifle????.

    I set my kid up with a Tikka compact (short stock) in 6.5 cm, chopped and threaded for a can, trijicon accupoint 3-9 mil-dot. Haven’t connected yet on big game up here yet, but not his fault. Now at 12, he’s pretty hard on steel to about 500 with hold overs. If you’re already into 6.5 cm, tikka...

    Pots and fucking pans

    Then your pan isn’t seasoned properly. I battled mine for a while until I figured out how to season them. Now clean up is just as fast as any other pan. Season every couple of months or so. Cast iron does require more maintenance but I would put up with it and pocket the $1k. My every day...

    Wolves surround boys duck hunting.

    Fuck wolves. Those bastards can rot in hell. Should’ve wiped out the entire pack and then enjoyed a nice cup of shut the fuck up.

    Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy

    I was pleasantly surprised, granted zero experience with Springfield 1911’s. Was expecting something like a rock island reading/watching all the bullshit on them out there. Read through this thread and it seemed like a no brainer for a base to be modded as skills improve. So, thank you for...

    Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy

    Started my oldest boy in a local range’s beginner handgun league this year. Intro’s new shooters to the handgun sports, takes them from complete noob to being able to handle a full stage safely. Been shooting it with him, he’s getting pretty sucked in, having lots of fun and wants to shoot all...

    Spirit Airlines Declares Bankruptcy

    It’s just chapter 11, airlines in the past have been in chapter 11 for years while “restructuring”. Just another game of hide the pea from the creditors. Chapter 7 is when it gets real.

    Vintage pic thread: Your oldest firearms

    We have this old timer shooting nrl22 with a Winchester 75T, complete with 8x unertl. He hangs with us cz shooters all day long, not so much against the voodoo’s, but he gives no fucks. Does it with waaay more class and style.

    Hearing protection act?

    This is from the AFT site. From 2022. This is why nothing will happen, it generates a shit load of money. $100m+ a year or more, plus the fact they never restore stolen rights, regardless of which party is in control means ASGH.

    WOKE-ism in firearms.

    If you sit on your WEAK hand for 1/2 and hour and then shoot this, WEAK handed, it’s called the stranger.

    Terminus Action Review / Observations

    My first semi custom on a rem 700 had to have the extractor replaced after it came back from the smith. The $.05 spring steel wore out with the headspace checks. Rounds would drop in the mag, never eject, at all. After the swap, ran great. Should I have bitched out Remington for a shitty design...

    Terminus Action Review / Observations

    @N565 Guy as others have said, customs take tinkering. My first semi custom built off a rem 700 took tinkering with mag feed lips, new extractor to get to run. My full customs needed tweaking of the feed lips and bottom metal for it to feed and eject correctly. Whether that’s on the smith or you...

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Question for you guys making cutting boards, why do most not router a juice groove/blood channel? It’s something I’ve wondered every time I cut into a medium rare tri-tip or roast. Just curious. Awesome work btw. You gentlemen are true craftsmen.

    New 300wsm project

    I just started shooting it. Maybe 30 rounds in. To be honest, I haven't followed factory load data in years. I had so much data on the 24” SA i just backed off a couple grains and started there. I was somewhere in the low 70 grains when it hit pressure, about 2775ish, but its a 20”. I’m not...

    New 300wsm project

    Have 2, both set up as 10# hunters. 24” & 20”, the 20” is new, still playing with that one. Zermatt origin SA and a tikka with LA bolt stop, long throated for heavies. 24” shoots 200 eldx at 2854 with RL26. Also have 165 gamechanger’s going 3170 with RL23. They both feed great.

    Is the Chargemaster Supreme a solid choice for a beginner?

    Feed that OCD! Is there a way to turn the round counting off on the CM? I swear that part takes the longest, and I have no use for it.
