    CWD question

    I just got the call from DNR that my deer had CWD. We had it processed at a place that did a great job, but also processed with two other family members so all our meat is tainted. I called the meat processor and they told me their equipment doesn’t get cleaned unless there is a species change...

    I’m stuck

    I have a 300wsm that’s absolutely the bane of my existence. It started as a Savage Long Range Hunter and now has a new trigger and MDT XRS chassis. No matter what I do it doesn’t shoot under 2”. I’ve tried multiple bullet, powder and primer combinations. Bullets from 150gr lead and copper all...

    Powder speed question

    Working up a load for 150gr Nosler e-tip and I can’t get three of the suggested powders to shoot. I have CFE223 which is in the middle of the burn chart for suggested powders and would like to try it. Am I safe using a powder within the burn rates of the manufacturer load data?

    Am I dumb?

    So I read about this take down lever/ thumb rest on another site and part of me thinks oh cool, but another part is whispering "gimmick." What do you think? https://www.aligntactical.com/pages/thumb-rest-takedown-lever

    ARCA question

    Looking at changing out my tripod to an ARCA setup and adding rails to some of my rifles. I already have. Short rail, but I see a ton of rails that run the length of the fore end or hand guard? Why would you need that long a rail?

    Shout out to Black Branch Shooting Sports.

    I just wanted to put in a good word for the folks over at Black Branch. I purchased a Gecko bag from them some time ago and recently damaged it. Ok, I won’t gloss over the fact that I am a muppet and shot it. Several times. I am a muppet. Anyways I called to get my bag repaired and they...

    Reduced load 300wsm?

    At this point I’ve only shot competitions, but want to get into hunting. I have a 300wsm that was given to me. I now know I’m a recoil baby. Friggen thing is really not enjoyable at all. Is it worth downloading to make it manageable or should I sell and buy something that I don’t hate shooting?

    Anyone using a 9mm upper with Glock mags?

    I was looking at a Ruger PCC, but I have several AR lowers that don’t get a bunch of use. I’ve noticed several companies making 9mm uppers and lower mag conversion kits for Glock mags. Anyone have advice on this?

    Joe Biden is The Dude

    Seriously, Joe is The Dude-"c'mon man", Kamala is Bunny-"she owes money all over town", Jen is Brandt-"that's marvelous". Milley is Walter-"across this line you do not cross" and finally Blinkin is Donny-"what do you need that for Dude?" Am I wrong? A bunch of fucking amateurs.

    Where do you get your news?

    Based on what I read on the Hide, I would say the membership is fairly well informed. I surf different channels, subscribe to several Substack writers and listen to several podcasts-Darkhorse is excellent for 'rona news, Bari Weiss' Honestly and a few of the folks I follow on twatter provide...

    Howa detachable magazine question.

    I have an older Howa (branded Smith and Wesson!) 1500 in 222. I'd like to change it to a detachable box, but it appears my two choices are go with PTG which only takes AICS or go with the Legacy Sports/Weatherby which takes a proprietary magazine. There is not much info that I'd bet on, as some...

    Opinions on the GRAM act?

    Three Republicans are sponsors of the GRAM act, which would effectively allow users of the evil weed to exercise their 2nd amendment rights. The caveat being you must be in a state that already has legalized usage. I'm not sure if this is a conservative way to stick it to lib states that allow...

    High speed chase.

    I just finished watching another high speed/ low speed chase go on forever and it just makes me so fucking mad. Honestly, if one of these assholes runs somebody over or causes a major crash the response is “well the cops should back off so something bad doesn’t happen.” Seriously when the fuck...

    Guided meat hunt.

    I’m graduating from varmint and bird hunting and want to go for either deer or antelope. I’m looking for a guided or semi-guided meat hunt somewhere in the western US. Prefer an outfit that can help me and my boy learn the basics. I have most of the gear I’ll likely need.

    Zulu6

    I’m a big fan of stabilized bingos and my old Canons have given up the ghost after about 12 years. Has anyone used these AND does anyone know where I can find a pair? I don‘t know what the deal is, but I can’t find anyone who has these in stock.

    Is anyone else watching/ listening to Tim Pool?

    Got turned on to this dudes podcast/Youtube channel a couple of months ago and have to say he's pretty straight forward and for the most part calls things right down the line. He started covering the occupy movement and has some very interesting insight on black bloc/ Antifa. I don't know if I...
