    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Thanks! I got after it with some Rusto and a sponge. Wasn't too much of a challenge. I'm going to try and do a 3 color gap type camo on the other canvas here soon.

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Finally got around to messing with the Tikka .223 by adding a KRG Bravo on home done camo, and a PST 2 3-15 FFP from another rifle. Can't wait to get it out to the range! Recently picked up this 6.5 PRC bergara and after swapping stock/chassis with my .308 700, it's having an identity...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    I just have a CO-X MG from Armasight. Before that I had a PS28 WP from ATN. The CO-X gets used 99% of the time on my AR because of ease in mounting. In the past I would have used a badger EFR or a coupler from scope to NV. CO-X on Sig Cross 6.5. ATN on EFR from a few years ago.

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Returning back to the Hide after a long hiatus. Made some adjustments to the stable over the last year or so. Rem 700 Tactical. 308, picked up up just like this without the Leup 4.5x14 LR. Current setup after adding the Bravo and PST 3x15. I need to get my NV Bridge and new rings/mount...

    Hunting & Fishing Best mount for predator light

    I used a weaver thumbnut ring to mount my lights for a while. It worked well enough for sub 200 pig hunting.

    Hunting & Fishing Another scope decision...

    I recently picked up a sig 3x9x40 with duplex reticle for an "inbetweener" scope for a hunt next week. It's going to get replaced with a PST gen 2 in January. My plan was to stick it on my tikka varmint in 22-250, and when I get the PST, throw it on a .22. My issue now is that today I was...

    Hunting & Fishing How much is too much?

    I see no reason against it. I've had to use 300 win mag and a 270 wsm on some deer around Austin when I had nothing else available. Granted, I stuck with neck shots, but I didn't waste any serious meat, or lose one.

    Hinged Plate vs Detachable Magazines on your Hunting Rifles

    I've used both, I'd say I have a preference towards dbms, but that's just because most of my rifles are set up that way. With that in mind, I think that a dbm would work better for me in most scenarios if I had to completely unload the rifle. If I had to unload momentarily for driving or...

    German Sheperd or Malinois?

    Bear is our pup, just turned 3 last month. His job is to protect his mom, and bring back ANY toy that can be thrown across the yard. He has done both most excellently. Smart as a whip, but he has his dopey moments. I absolutely agree that you must lead the pack. He knows his place in the social...

    Hunting & Fishing Ear Pro while hunting?

    Before I started using the whisper pickle I kept some impacts in my backpack. 75% of the time I forgot to put them on... looking back I should have just kept some of those plugs that sit around your neck.

    Tripod?

    Makes sense, thank you for clarifying.

    Tripod?

    Why's that? I I've used my slik and pig saddle with great effect on stupid light and stupid heavy rifles. Unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean by that.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    My gunsmith, @txfireguy2003 of Blackland Precision, threaded my t3 for me friday night and today was range day. Preferred 55 grain loads but I'll experiment some more. T3 Varmint in 22-250, athlon ares btr 4.5x27 and silencerco omega 300. Not the best groups, but I'm still learning the rifle...
