Hunting & Fishing Another hunting death
Right on the money. Sadly the odds of a slip and fall are way above a million to one. If you spend time outside in the mountains with a rifle, you're going to slip sometime. Cold chamber always and I never hunt with people who need a round in the chamber. I personally know of three families...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing .270 Bolt Action Hunting Rifle...need help!
Right on! I've shot a Remington ADL .270 for about 25 years. Love it. If I bought a .270 today it would be a Tikka. My brother has one, several friends have them. They shoot amazing! Plenty good for anything in the lower 48. Plenty of other good options. Whatever you buy, take it out and...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing Need a good off the shelf varmint shooter!
Tons of options, all of which will work fine. Budget? Tikka in .223 or .243 in my opinion, can't go wrong. However, Savage, Rem, Mossberg, etc, will work just fine. Accuracy has more to do with you and trigger time/practice than the very minor differences in any of the great rifles available...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing Best 308 bullet for deer
Remington CorLokts for 30 years. Total guess on an average of 2.245222 critters/year (deer buck & does, antelope bucks and does). Just works, every single time. Longest shot 575 yards, shortest 15 yards, many many 250+ yards, several 50 yards. Lots of good bullets out there. Put a decent...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing Best Way to Carry in Grizz Backcountry?
That's why I call my pistol a sleeping pill! My wife and I were camped on a ridge where we carried in water a few weeks prior to archery season. When we got there during the season bear tracks (not very big honestly, but long-ish griz claws way out front) were all over the place w/scratches in...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing Best Way to Carry in Grizz Backcountry?
Thank you 45/308: actual experience. Personally, I love the drama and fear that people have of griz in the lower 48/Northwest. It keeps the doughnut eaters and range-shooter folk out of the wilderness and there more room for the rest of us to have fun. I'm going to take your advice and get a...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing Best Way to Carry in Grizz Backcountry?
Thanks for the reminder about the reason for the post. I've been packing, hunting and camping in griz country for over 30 years and understand what the thread is about, which is why I answered the OP: from actual experience, not reading about pathetic scenarios from dreamers. I also know I...- mt Al

"Worry about" isn't something I consider with 0.01% chance stuff. Internet stories, drama and rare reports from the range aren't reality.- mt Al

Tikka T3 280AI project
Sounds like a great project. I have a T3 in 7mm-08 and am just in the "get to know you" phase but really like it. My only thought other than ream and new magazine is I think you have to file the bolt stop or get a new one. Seems to me I recall that the short action (even though its not a...- mt Al

Hunting & Fishing Best Way to Carry in Grizz Backcountry?
I'm in the Glock 10mm camp and bow hunt in Montana griz country (not Kodiak Island). I carried a .41 mag wheel gun for many years as a bow hunting side arm and sleeping pill when camped in a thin tent in areas covered with black bear and griz sign. Great pistol, fun to practice with and, FOR...- mt Al

any good work out routine for road workers?
I travel a lot also, sure makes it a pain in the rear. The Delta Sky magazine has had a few interviews and articles about this in the past year. They kind of summarize that you're not going to get a "weight training" workout but that you can maintain and do some cardio at the same time. Here...- mt Al
