    Anyone hunting with Mcmillan A5?

    Had an EDGE A5 on my GAP .243 and 7WSM, a bunch of years ago. That was a very nice stock, and I took both rifles hunting a bit. But, after trying a few different stocks & chassis, found a fondness for the ergos of the A3. The sloped buttstock of the A3 allows for faster/easier vertical...

    Hunting & Fishing Coyote hunting on limited land

    Coyote Calling 101: Approach stand QUIETLY with the wind in your favor. If you can't, then don't bother making it... cuz you just broadcast your presence to the countryside. Set your call in a place that allows the coyote 'safe' path to get to the call. Not 100% critical, but giving the...

    Night Vision Clip-Ons for Sporting Rifles?

    That DIY stuff is a fun rabbit hole to explore! I actually have all the parts to build one, just haven't gotten around to doing it. IIRC, the NV camera I have is an E-700. Search for that, and you'll see all matter of gizmos...

    Night Vision Clip-Ons for Sporting Rifles?

    From what I looked at, you could get individual objective clamps for each scope & transition the unit between them. In the same boat as you, have a couple hunting rifles that would be cool to have NV/thermal on. Just don't want to go the route of adding a front rail. If I did, Badger makes the...

    Biggest cartridge/caliber YOU can shoot comfortably?

    Got brakes on larger cal. rifles, so don't have to suffer them. Could shoot my .30cal Norma Imp all day, without a blink. One firearm I don't enjoy shooting in volume is my 3.5" 12ga. turkey gun...

    Tripod setup for tactical events and particularly long range hunting

    Excellent! I'd like to try your two screw fixture/plate on a GameScout I just bedded. I think the tapered angle of your plate will better fit the rounded forend. When they are back from anodize, please update this thread and/or PM me. Thanks!

    BugNut

    Good question, Bogey. From reading the OP from Scout, I believe these barrels are designed to work with an unaltered Remington action, as is. But was about to ask the same thing regarding integral lug custom actions. Will the various custom integral lug actions require a different 'BugNut'...

    McMillan edge technology

    I've had a few & presently contemplating another EDGE stock for a LW hunting rifle. If you're truly counting ounces, then EDGE fill will shave a few off a standard fill stock. Have never run into an instance where an EDGE fill stock was compromised or otherwise damaged from field use. One...
