    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rifle weight?

    Re: Hunting rifle weight? I run a Tikka T3 in .270 with a SWFA 3x9 and really like the weight and balance. I tried the Kimber Montana and found out it just does not balance well for me. The Tikka was not much heavier and settles in nicely. I dont have a total weight but I would not call it...

    Gunsmithing Bedding a Tikka T3

    Re: Bedding a Tikka T3 BC has a pretty nice stock out now with lug integral to the bedding block. I had a few fliers in my .270 that I could not account for and did a skim bed in devcon and got some better action screws that could be torqued accurately. All fliers went away and it is more...

    SMACK the SMILEY - FALL 2011 - ENTRY OPEN!

    Re: SMACK the SMILEY - FALL 2011 - ENTRY OPEN! Jason, Since its an integrity based event is it possible to just pay the fee and have the target available as a download on the link? Just thinking of how to make sure all the time and money goes where it needs to go and does not get absorbed in...

    is a .22 ethical for small coyotes?

    Re: is a .22 ethical for small coyotes? I have had great luck with the simple 40gr CCI minimag or 40gr powerpoints. Double tap to the chest and move to the next target. I had the same problem but I chose to settle it using my .35whelen. Couple grains of bullseye under a cast 148 wadcutter...

    Rifle Report Reduction - Noise Box

    Re: Rifle Report Reduction - Noise Box I saw photos from the 1980s of the IRA built covert rifle ranges using the tire set up. IIRC they had some 20-30' long with rubber conveyor belting at the ends with slots cut in them. They were very effective and tough to locate unless you had a snich...

    Maggie’s Mountain Biker gets taken out by BUCK. LOL. Africa

    Re: Mountain Biker gets taken out by BUCK. LOL. Africa There are teams out there that need to sign that buck, I think $5mil for 3 years on special teams would be a good start. He would be hell covering kickoffs.

    First kettlebell workout

    Re: First kettlebell workout Love the KB, if stuck with a single piece of workout equipment it would be a 54lb bell. My core and back have never been stronger and all I do are the basic swings, snatches, cleans and an overhead press while doing lunges.

    Re: How many honestly wear safety glasses I have a close friend that just buried his 4 year old son. His son was standing back away from the shooting and a fragment came back and struck him in the eye and into his brain. Yes it was probably a one in a million incident but that does not bring...

    Stooting sticks etc... your experience?

    Re: Stooting sticks etc... your experience? For anything other than prone I will take sticks over a higher bipod. I had surgery on my left shoulder and cannot hold up even a light rifle. I tried sticks as well as a Harris bipod (something like 13-27") and did not like the springyness [sic] of...

    OCW tests out of my hunting rifle. 30-06

    Re: OCW tests out of my hunting rifle. Help me out on this. In my understanding of OCW its about finding a balanced load that has a tolerance at either side of the sweet spot to account for the million other tiny variations. Are you saying a .1gr charge will reflect a sweet spot or just...
