    Sad Duty

    I just went thru that myself this spring losing both parents within a month. It’s sad but at least you have all those great memories.

    ***UPDATE"""" opinions welcome.....rifle bbl or something else?

    I would go thru everything making sure it’s torqued to spec, and also make sure your not bottoming out your base screws. If they are hitting the barrel threads they might seem tight but won’t be holding down the bases. Then I would look to the action/stock bedding. I have a stainless...

    Lets See Your 6.5's!

    My 6.5 PRC HAVAK has a vortex razor HD LHT 3-15x42 on it. It is an excellent pairing. I have a nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 on my 300 win mag havak. I have been very pleased with both scopes but give the edge to the razor. The extra magnification is nice

    Caliber and Bullet Questions For First Yukon Hunt

    Losing those petals kept that bullet from stopping in that shoulder. Exactly as it was designed to do. Moose shoulders are a tough task for any bullet and it was hitting pretty fast. I’d say that was a win. Very nice bull. I would have recommended that bullet/cartridge combo for your hunt...

    "Don't Hunt Bear!"

    I have zero tolerance for those kind of people. That kind of disrespectful approach would have gotten her a response that would assure she was no longer a “casual acquaintance”.

    Unleash the RUM

    I was actually pretty impressed with the 200gr ELDX on my moose this year. Did a lot of damage and still exited thru high shoulder shot. It did do a bit more meat damage than I’d like. The high shoulder shot on moose has stopped 180gr accubonds before. None of the conventional lead core...

    1-7 twist 25/06 first trip to the range

    I did a little more load work up today. I backed the 125gr hammer load back to 56gr for 3110fps. It shows some promise. I also picked up a box of Hornady 117gr whitetail ammo. It shot very well. I was really impressed with its consistency. Average velocity of 2989fps with an ES of 6...

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 BT

    I went with the vortex razor HD LHT 3-15x42 on my 6.5 PRC havak rifle. I had tried a vx5 3-15 on my havak 300 win mag. Sadly I had tracking issues with it. I got a noticeable lateral shift when dialing it up. It got sent back to leupold but I could never trust it afterwords. I ended...

    M70 push feed vs. M700

    I would have to go with the rem 700. There is just too much after market support for the rem. Triggers, stocks, optics mounts, bottom metal, the list is endless. The few downsides to a rem, extractor and safety, are easily corrected. A new bolt or m16 extractor conversion is easy and a 3...

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 BT

    I have been going back and forth on what glass to put on my fast twist 25/06. I had been kicking around a couple different options. A 2.5-10x42 NXS or a vortex razor Hd LHT were on the short list. In the interim I had a trijicon 3-9x40 on it. The trijicon is an excellent scope and I loved...

    Successful moose hunt

    Got all the meat fully processed. I ended up with 147 pounds of jalapeño cheese moose dogs, 138 pounds of burger, 38 quarts of canned moose, 16 quarts of bone/moose broth, 32 pounds of tender loin and back strap steaks, and 6 gallon ziplocks of dried meat scrap dog treats. Pretty good haul...
