    Christensen Evoke

    I wish you had posted a bit sooner, @45-90 I went with the Tikka in 7mm PRC. I guess they did a limited run of threaded barrel, laminated stock, stainless rifles. I found and bought one. Advertised at 7 lbs 3 oz, this one actually came in at 6 lbs 10 oz. Have not had time to test for...

    If the economy is so great, why all the lay-offs?

    In addition, ConocoPhillips bought another oil/pipeline company. With the same type project managers, lawyers, business development, purchasing staff, IT folks, etc. Just makes sense to right-size after an acquisition. Had to do it a few times during my career, and it is a great way to...

    Christensen Evoke

    Respectfully, with a hunting rifle, most won't see 200 rounds in 20 years after zero. Most of mine get fired 2-4x per year to confirm zero, then once per critter for the freezer. My best year, I put 7 in the freezer after a 2 shot zero confirmation. Hard to discuss barrel life at that rate. If...

    I think it indicates that she likes big hairy men. At least, that's what I choose to believe.

    Christensen Evoke

    Everyone else, however critical, has brought genuine information that I will use to make an informed decision. Except you. You came with attitude and ignorance. And you and your "honest observation" made insulting comments about the "shittiest and most unsuccessful hunters". Since you know...

    Christensen Evoke

    I'm covered at 150 yards. Goal for this rifle would be as a dedicated hunting rifle, 200-400 yards in the previously mentioned ladder stands/box blinds. I have other rifles for this, just looking for a shorter option, as my current rifles are all 22-26" barrels, and the added length of the...

    Christensen Evoke

    Looking for a shorter option with similar killing power to the 280 Ackley. The overall length with a suppressor is the only negative to my current setup. My current .280 Ackley is about 53" with the suppressor attached. When I am in short range situations (150 yards and under), I actually hunt...

    Christensen Evoke

    I genuinely wanted feedback, and I got it. Most appreciated. What is the perceived/experienced issue with CA? The one I have owned, and a couple more I have shot, have been accurate, with no real issues. I did know of one that got sent back for stick extraction, but that was resolved quickly...

    Christensen Evoke

    I don't want a 7mm PRC. I have a 280 Ackley already, which happens to be a Christensen. It shoots well, and I have had no issues with it. I have shot long range with it and am very confident in the rifle and the round. Some of them might suck, but mine is accurate, and I have killed several...

    Christensen Evoke

    Thinking about a 7mm Backcountry, and Christensen is the only factory option I have found with a 16" barrel. Does anyone have any feedback on the new Evoke? I have a Ridgeline that I am happy with, so not concerned about the maker. Looking for opinions, as well as actual weight on a 16"...

    Let's see who knows their way around a cut of beef. Name that cut.

    Less certain on this one, but my guess is shoulder clod.

    Tri-tip They do very well with a long marination. I like to do a bloody mary marinade with them, but I use gin instead of vodka. Boil the marinade after 24 hours and use it to baste the meat over a direct medium fire. Cook until about 120 degrees internal, rest 15 minutes, slice across the grain.

    No reasonable person would loan a 17 year old kid with no current job $200,000 for a house, car, tractor, bulldozer, or any other plan. Yet, that same kid can sign up for a $200,000 loan to get a Masters degree in pottery, art history, sociology, or any number of other useless fields of study...

    I quit wearing a watch over 20 years ago. Quit wearing a ring of any sort at around the same time. If I'm wearing pants, there's a pocketknife somewhere on me. Likely a firearm as well. Enjoyed cigars until it was going to cost me $150 a month in insurance surcharges.
