Which piece of equipment is more important?

I did my first ever PRS competition earlier this year* and had a lot of fun! Only problem is I was woefully unprepared - so much so, I didn't have any dope for my rifle. I'm aiming to fix that this year as I want to go to more competitions this year with a goal of getting a top 15 spot.

I'm going to stick with Hornady 4DOF for my ballistics calculator as there are so many opinions out there that it doesn't really seem like there's any difference between the apps.

My question for you folks is if I could get one, and only one of the following, which would be more useful?

A Kestrel 5700 non-elite or a Garmin/LabRadar chronograph?

I'm thinking the Kestrel as my assumption is that having better weather data will give a better dope vs muzzle velocity measurements.

Is this correct or am I off base?

Thanks!

Origin short action and Hawkins Hunter DBM

I have a Bighorn Origin short action that I want to put in a Peak 44 carbon stock that takes M5 bottom metal. I’m interested in using the Hawkins Hunter DBM, but ran across this comment below on a website. My SN is in the 2400 range. I emailed the company that had it for sale and they had no idea.

Do any of you know if Hawkins Hunter short action DBM bottom metal only fits Origins in a SN range above 5350? And if so, why?

45-70 reloading question

Hello everyone and greetings to the forum.
I made a search around the forums regarding the subj, but all treads look way too old, so i decided to start a new one (admins, please have mercy).

I have a modern replica of Sharps rifle (from Chiappa, Italy) with 32" barrel, and cannot find a reliable reloading data combo for 300 and 350 grn fmj bullets and powders I use (H335 and Benchmark, to be specific).
So, I have a very general question: what's a desirable and reasonable muzzle velocity for 300 and 350 grn bullets for this particular rifle?
Thanks all folks in advance.

PS The AI gave me the numbers that look reasonable to me - but I am too old fashioned guy to trust those things without double check :) Thanks again.

LRFB vs. Binos + RF

With the sale of the revic BLR10b binos, I am heavy rethinking my separate bino and RF combo I currently have. I was already planning to upgrade from the Athlon Cronus and sig Kilo 3k rangefinder I have to better glass, but the revic peaks the interest at $1700.

I’ve heard the argument from several others that it’s nice to have the two separate so you can upgrade glass and RF separately as tech changes or glass quality increases. Is this really something people do anymore or has pretty much everyone switched over to a combo set? Anyone make the switch and regret it one way or the other? Also, any thoughts on the revics would be greatly appreciated. I hunt in the southeast and have a couple bigger out west hunts booked for next year. Just curious if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Spotter or no spotter?

I just got a new rifle scope on a Black Friday deal for a NightForce NX8 4-32x now I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth packing a spotter on my hunts or if I should save the weight and space, then use the rifle scope when I need the magnification.
A little background I don’t hunt solo, and in my group there’s usually at least 2 guys who run spotters or big eyes. I glass with just binoculars 95% of the time, and really just pull out the spotter for confirmation that a deer is worth going after. Hunts are typically in Arizona for coues, occasionally we put in for mule deer.

I’m thinking I can just pull out the rifle when I need confirmation on a deer, or look through one of my buddy’s spotters, but I also hate the idea of being underprepared even if I don’t need it.
The other option I’m considering the is small Vortex Razor 13-39x spotter. Its lightweight and small enough that I wouldn’t hate having it in the pack, even if it doesn’t get used. It’s also a lot easier to spend the money on that than the mini swaro at over 2x the price.

Just wanted to see what you guys think, better to have it and not need it, or better to save the weight and space.

Boeing 737 Max at it again

FAA Grounds Boeing 737 Max 9 Jets After Exit Door Incident​

* a plug not an exit door
GDJdvvVXwAAPLyI.jpg


The Air Current reports that the exact jet involved in this incident had some pressurization issues the previous day.
On January 4, 2024, the same exact jet apparently had a pressurization warning light appear during taxi-in following a flight. The airline then decided to remove the jet from ETOPS operations (meaning the airplane couldn’t fly overwater), in line with the company’s maintenance rules. The same light appeared again later the same day while inflight.
