There was an old timer on a 4 wheeler that was taking photos of machines to turn them in. I have seen and talked to this old guy for years out there and never fails to impress me on where he can go with a Honda 420 rancher on stock wheels! He will normally stop by and say hello when we cross...
Had a difficult moose hunt this year. It has been a very wet fall. Trail conditions have been pretty poor.
I took a week off for a long trek in to a spot I’ve been hunting for years. It’s a long trip back on SXS, almost 20 miles to the area we set camp. There is a particularly nasty...
I’ve got a buddy in Michigan who runs the 130 TTSX Iin his 300 RUM. Pushing them very hard with a questionable load at north of 3800 fps. “Aiming on fur out to 500 yards”. The only thing flatter than the primers are the white tails he has shot with it.
He stacks up double digit deer a...
I picked up a can cannon a couple years ago as a novelty item. It uses a blank to fire either a soda can at 100mph or a golf ball quite a bit faster. I hesitate to bounce a golf ball or soda can off of one but have thought a tennis ball at Mach Jesus might get one’s attention.
We have been...
I’m struggling to find an optic for my 416 ruger. I’m looking for a low power variable with 1-2x on the low end and 6-8 on the top end. There are a few options in this range not too I’m not that impressed with the available reticles.
Many have complicated Christmas tree tactical...
Just had a brief standoff with a young brown bear in my chicken coop. Felt good to have the ruger freshly tested. Luckily he minded his manners and left without incident
I got a chance to get back to the range with the desert tech. The supressor made for a big improvement. After rezeroing I shot a few decent groups at 300 yards. 300gr accubond @ 2697fps with us869 in nosler brass.
I think this will make a very good load for big game hunting. I might just...
I had been planning on picking one of these up since I got rid of my 16” 308. I picked up a nightforce 2.5-10x32 expressly for the purpose several months ago. Killing time at the local sportsmans the temptation was too great.
Took it to the range today and was impressed with the handling...
Finally got the ruger to the range. I still haven’t gotten a scope yet but thought I would like to make sure the open sights were on. The recoil was quite brisk but not unmanageable. I wouldn’t want to shoot too many from a bench but standing wasn’t too bad if you kept a tight grip on...
