    Hunting & Fishing This Little Piggy Went to Market...

    Cross posting this from Scrapyard...thought I'd share here for everyone. Experienced an "end of the world" scenario" Thursday night. Not for me, but for a few unlucky piglets. Was hunting with my UGSW Kukri, throwing 168 grain Tipped TSX's...I call them "bluebonnets of death". Nothing but...

    Suppressors Tried and True.....or Leading Edge Tech?

    Hunting & Fishing BACON!!

    Yesterday was a wild success. Father and I saw this big boy come out about 550 yds away right at dusk. We quickly covered 100 yds, deployed the bipod, set up on a road that crosses the highline / right-of-way, turned on the lit reticle since the dark was creeping in and I couldn't see the...

    .308 Tipped TSX Loads

    Anyone have experience loading .308 tipped TSX rounds, 168 grn? I'm not a loader, but my dad is starting some loads and using Varget, 42-44.5 grns. It's crunching when the bullet is seated and I'm nervous about it. Is this crunching / compacting of the powder normal? I'm naive about this...

    UGSW...full of surprises

    Let us rejoice and celebrate all that is KUKRI. A little context: I fell in love with the Kukri design last year when I decided on a custom build. So, I contacted Mike and put in an order for one in .308. At the time, I tried to convince my dad to get one as well...but to try something in...

    Hunting & Fishing More Hog Clearing - Updated 11.22.10

    Spent the weekend up in Longview, visiting my Dad. We had planned on implementing our own feral hog population control program....in a vain effort that we might see a few white-tail deer this year come November. Well...we were a day late and a dollar short...but we made some slight headway...

    Shorty .260?

    So...I have a shorty .308 on order...likely to be my grail gun (thanks UGSW!). My father is also interested in getting a build done, but he has a bad shoulder. In looking at platforms to help reduce recoil, I started thinking about a shorty .260 Rem. Other than the buzz I hear about the...

    I notice from time to time the discussion here regarding survival / fighting knives....wanted to make sure the "Hide" was aware of that both of the Busse-"Kin" companies currently have offerings. What's more, is they're offering .mil discounts for some killer steel. And, these deals will be...

    Quad Project

    Thought I would post up my Quad project. I didn't end up going the PAI route since I had already purchased my Quad, Barrel and Scope mount. Plus, I am not a huge fan of the T4's. Instead, I decided to source all of the pieces and build a more hunting friendly rifle. I would like to thank all...
