    2025 Spring Hunt

    It certainly does. Love Kenetrek, but I almost think I could hire someone to carry me around for the cost of a pair :LOL: . I've run the extreme budget route before, and I know you end up sore, cold, wet, and tired. Another thing I want to get is a quality backpack-style dry bag. Anyone...

    Kimber Hunter trigger pull adjustment and shooting technique help

    If a firm hold seems to help, try a sled, if you have one. Even a couple of sandbags might work. I was having issues with one rifle and ended up putting it in a (Bog, I want to say) deathgrip tripod. That seemed to work very well for me. Also proved I needed more dry fire practice.

    A Little Rimfire Fun

    Love 22. Fond memories of exploding soda (pop, if you prefer) cans. No I keep one handy at the house for cleaning up duties, loaded with ear safe subsonics. *ahem* By that, I mean vermin. Like snakes, or armadillos. Or squirrels, if they're in season.

    Modern Gun Crowd

    Okay, since this is story time. Was at a public range with wife, brother and his wife. Guy to our left was blazing away with his AR at - 50, if I remember - stopped and just watched my wife start popping off her Gunsite Scout in 308. So, completely innocent, she notices him watching and asks...

    No worries. Sometimes it's hard to get things like humor across in text-only format.

    Lawn mowers

    Never hotwired a horse. Heard of it done with cars, but not horses. :unsure:

    Bobcats on the Ridge

    Now that I think of it, Bobcats on the Ridge sound like it should be the title of a Bluegrass album.

    Spam cans Need info on them.

    I'm not an expert, but I think I can answer some of your questions. The 440 round cases are likely 7.62x54r, while the 720 round case is almost certainly 7.62x39. I do not know of any milsurp that is not steel case, the question being really if they are plain or lacquered. They are all...

    Reliable scopes for carbines?

    Sorry, can't help on the 2x7 front. Think I have a 4x on my Marlin; Bushnell? Need to check. I know it's an inexpensive scope, as I didn't think it needed to be much for a 44 mag.

    2025 Spring Hunt

    I was lurking on another forum and I noticed that everyone seemed to think they needed to advertise every single firearm they owned. And better than half of them seemed to think they needed to quote one of a dozen people. I mean, I have no issue with it, but I just like poking a little gentle...

    2025 Spring Hunt

    All, I'm looking at doing another spring bear hunt in Idaho in late May to early June, but I don't want to use a guide this time. However, that creates a conundrum for me as I don't have: A tent A tent stove Pack animals Tack etc. Want to do a 2 bear area for myself and one or two others...

    Handgun Ballistic Gel Testing

    Depending on distance you are shooting, and your particular handgun, you may see a point of impact shift, so re-zeroing could be in your future.

    Handgun Ballistic Gel Testing

    And you are absolutely correct. As I said, I think those look amazing, I simply do not see that there is sufficient value in them - for me - to spend the money on them. Looking at the two side by side, I also find it interesting that the heavier bullet actually averages less penetration than...
