    Maggie’s Deerfield Beach Webcam

    Visited Deerfield Beach with family friends, as a kid. Watched a dude at the end of the pier take advantage of the offshore breeze and use a blown up hefty bag as a giant 'bobber' to get a live bait waaaaay the fuck out there. He said he'd caught sailfish doing that... Also witnessed a pod of...

    Short barreled coyote rifle

    The 6x45 hits a coyote harder than its parent .223. I'm sure your .25x45 does the same! My 6x45AI is more than adequate, day or night.. Heck, all I use is a flashlight & have no problem with <200yd shots. Most are 1/2 that... If my AO were muffler friendly, I'd prolly knocked a couple more...

    Short barreled coyote rifle

    That sounds like a cool little rifle! I've considered necking a .223 up to .257, just keep getting stuck @ .243. And/or Ackley-ing them... That said, I did have a 6.8SPC based .257 caliber wildcat called the .25DTI. It threw a 75Vmax @ 3175 from only an 18" barrel. That thing knocked the crap...

    Caliber selection based on barrel longevity?

    Build a 1:8 .223AI or neck it up to 6x45AI. Burn a measly ~25gr of powder, ooodles of barrel life, everywhere brass, and surprisingly decent performance at distance. Can't think of more bang of your buck, than either of those...

    Anschutz vs UIT (AI) rails or how to attach AI to tripod?

    Anchor, gonna copy/paste an earlier (scout) post to illustrate how I made this work: Recently ordered an A3 from McMillan with an Anschutz rail under the forend. RRS made an Arca-Swiss adaptor plate that should have worked great, but McM's idea of an Anschutz rail is actually thicker than...

    Help: Firing Pin Releaseing When Bolt Closes

    Just to make sure... Take the action out of the stock. Cycle the bolt. If the firing pin still drops, the trigger developed an issue. Seek professional fix, don't fuck around. If the trigger operates normally outside the new stock, you know you have an interference issue between the trigger/...

    Hunting & Fishing DIY Hike Hunting Equiptment

    Yep, I heard something about the Rambler 'issue'. The scabbard & meat shelf were exactly why I got it, over just rockin' a simple Highcamp bag. I prefer to keep meat on a shelf. Not only does it keep any 'drippage' away from your gear, it also positions the heaviest load closer to your back...

    Hunting & Fishing Elk rifle suggestions.

    I have a beast .30-338Norma Mag Improved, yet will be taking my 6.5 SAUM 4s elk hunting (if we draw tags) For one, I don't wanna carry that big bitch. Secondly, I couldn't have built a big Norma nearly as light as the 6.5. And even if I got close to ~9lbs. finished/loaded carry weight, a Norma...

    Hunting & Fishing DIY Hike Hunting Equiptment

    30 cal., unless you make a masochistic habit of hauling 100+ lb. moose quarters for miles, your Bikini frame will likely serve you very well. I've hiked plenty of miles with 40-60 lbs. on my Bikini frame while training for fall hunts, and have not felt compelled to change/upgrade for lack of...
