My favorite “bag” for casual use is a 6 gallon rectangular bucket from The Home Depot. It holds a lot of gear and has a nice big handle. 20 bucks.

My go to pack for years has been a Mystery Ranch with occasional Maxpedition or Osprey thrown in. For some reason my wife doesn’t like my tacticool bags and got me a Tumi Nomadic Backpack. It’s pricey and holy F does it have a lot of pockets/compartments. I like it a lot, just can’t purposefully...

Salmon River Solutions hybrid rail

Thanks for the heads-up

Ordered the qd GTAC bag rider ( from Alan Forster @ [email protected] ) Shipped from jolly old England on Dec 15, finally arrived in So Cal today after 6+ weeks in postal limbo. Price was 200 quid.

Agree with db2000. If you really want a 6.5 for hunting, a PRC, SAUM or SS/SST would be better. 20 or 22 inch CF barrel, lightweight action and run the 140’s or even better, 156 Bergers

I used to own an Evolution in 204, heavy somebitch, just didn’t have good ergonomics. Not as accurate or fun to shoot as my Howa bolt gun in 204. If your BIL really wants a 204 under $1k, bolt action is your best bet. With some practice and an upgraded trigger if needed, shouldn’t really miss...

Check out the Holosun 510 also. Not as tacticool or durable as the EOTech but battery life is way better, has a “shake awake” feature instead of having to manually turn it on, can switch between 3 reticle choices and much cheaper

Ordered from McMillan, came with the mounting hardware. Friend did it for me, has a nice man cave with all sorts of machine tools. Told him where I wanted it mounted and he just drilled the holes for the screws and used a Dremel tool to remove a little material on the barrel channel to seat the...

OMG I would love to have a Dakota 76. Don't know if Ill ever be brave enough to spend that much money on a rifle, lol Have Sako and Tikka and they both shoot great. Another to consider is Montana Rifle Company. They have closed but you can still find their rifles on Gunbroker, etc. Some nice...

Savage if you wanna go cheap Tikka my 1st choice, have a T3 Super Varmint in 22-250 and love it If you have a need for something nicer you can find a Bergara, Nosler, Barret Fieldcraft or maybe the Sako 85 Varmint with the set trigger

What bullet/ammo do you plan to run?

Saw this on Saubier.com (not my post) I have a couple CZ . 17 hornets, in New Zealand, I had the Varmint 24" chopped to 20" and threaded for a suspressor, Velocity loss was from 3780 with 24" tube to 3730. Fps with the 20", 20 gr, with cfe blackout. 12.5 gr. I am now considering reducing...

Best I can do for now, sent rifle and gear ahead for a javelina hunt.

Have one in 6mm Creed. Cycled the action a few hundred times to smooth it out, much better. Hornady 108 grain ELD at .33 MOA. Federal Premium 105 Berger not so good. Replaced the sling swivel stud with a short picatinny rail and added a six inch McMillan ARCA rail just forward of the magazine.

My safe was full too but I had to make room for this Anschutz beauty in 17 Hornet

Also check out Borden Rifles, their mountain rifles are top tier, love mine in 300 WSM

I have dropped a few animals using Swarovski scopes and their ballistic app on my iPhone between 400 and 600 yds. Missed once at 500 yds or so due to misjudging the wind but my elevation was spot on. Have not tried shooting past 600 with my Swaros yet.
