    Lightweight Hunting Build

    you don’t see many .358s these days but I always thought that was a cool cartridge, what is your barrel length and what bullet do you use most often?

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Dads former employer sent out a memo saying that master and slave cylinders were to be relabeled in all corporate documents, with all of the engineering change orders, reprints and everything he figure fit would cost around $900,000 to rewrite every document when you factor in the time it would...

    Will a Remage barrel fit a Bergara Premier action?

    I should have done more reading on the GRB, I was looking up what else brownells offered in that price range, seems like a really weird decision to use that thread rather than something common for Remington or savage, at least the origin gives you prefits for savage barrels but that might mean...

    Will a Remage barrel fit a Bergara Premier action?

    I’m not super familiar with the 6.5-284, does it need to be used in a long action to really get all the performance out of it like a straight .284? If so, for another $50.00 brownells sells a gunwerks 700 long action @$850.00. If you can get by with a short action, you could have an origin for...

    Getting in shape for an elk hunt

    The kettle bells are a great idea, If your house has stairs you can put your pack on and go up and down stairs in several sets too, you can change intensity by skipping stairs every other other set and go up and down sideways. Target long exercise sessions and add weight slowly. One thing I’ve...

    Getting in shape for an elk hunt

    I would suggest a weighted pack and a lot of long walks in the hilliest area you can find. I push the kids around our very hilly neighborhood in a stroller and have added a pack and heavy boots into the mix in the last several weeks. start light like 10 pounds and work your way up to 50-60 over...

    Lightweight Hunting Build

    For your immediate use a 7-08 or 6.5 creedmoor might be nice but at those distances and what you plan to shoot, a real short (16.5-18) .308 with a1:8 twist barrel might be the ticket if you have an interest in suppressed shooting. If you really want light weight it’s hard to beat a blind...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns ATF Seeks to Restrict Arm Braces

    I used to be of the opinion that we should disband the ATF and rely solely on the FBI for this since they already run the NICBS but after watching the FBI show increasing political affiliation and play fast and loose with FISA warrants I think the right path forward is that all of the bureau...

    Hunting & Fishing Recoil systems...Remington 721

    Pachmayr decelerator, the grind to fit kind so it doesn’t look like you got your rifle stuck in a beer koozie. Also, it will probably help to get a good check rest to put your eye in line with the scope without a bunch of muscle strain. Good recoil pad and making sure the rifle fits for LOP and...

    Stateless is the way to go. Change my mind...

    In theory, I like the idea of anarcho-capitalism, but then I also understand that humans are basically fecal matter that can walk, so I know that in practice it just doesn’t work. People can’t even be trusted to park properly when the lines are marked. The reasons most of the ancient...

    Fieldcraft Entrenching tool

    I have a nylon trowel I got at Walmart for less than a dollar, lightweight and durable, been pretty handy in the odd occasion when it’s needed. I have a fancy folding e-tool but it’s like 4 pounds so I leave it in the car in case I get stuck or need to dig a foxhole.

    In regards to my new Bergara B-14, Did I really screw myself up that bad.

    I stand corrected on the order of assembly, definitely follow what the manufacturer says to do. It seems like the goal in either method is to keep the recoil lug in contact with the mating surface on the chassis while the action screws are tightened down to avoid any binding between lug lock...

    In regards to my new Bergara B-14, Did I really screw myself up that bad.

    Range time reality is always the true measure of a correction. Does it look like it’s sitting different in the chassis?

    In regards to my new Bergara B-14, Did I really screw myself up that bad.

    You might also give MPA a call and see if they have heard of any issues with mounting a Bergara action before. I have a fairly basic tool bag that I put in whatever car I’m driving and so far it has prevented three disappointing days at the range. It has also gotten me home from some bad...

    In regards to my new Bergara B-14, Did I really screw myself up that bad.

    Can you move the muzzle relative to the chassis? The video they have on their LugLock says that there are two different inserts for the different recoil lug thicknesses. One is for the standard R700 lug at 0.250” and the other is for the 0.350” switchlug that WTO designed. I suspect the Bergara...

    Stories that changed your behavior for life?

    Dad always told this story about a dog that ran across railroad tracks in front of a train everyday, one day he was a little slow and a wheel clipped the end of his tail off, so he turned around to see what got his tail and got his head smashed. Moral was “don’t lose your head over a little...

    “Right under the box of grid squares, between the rack stretcher and the bucket of prop wash” I worked with a good spirited junior technician with a below average I.Q. Used to love sending him to look for a 14/16” wrench or a 10/32” socket. 6.25 mm drive ratchet handle was fun too, Never got old.

    I would call this a “Metric”, does it come in a left handed chassis?

    Is it worth keeping a 308 around?
