    Upgrading insulation in a home?

    After having to replace both hvac units for my home back in December, I am now in the process of research to seal and improve my home's insulation over the next few to several months. My intention is to complete as much as I can. I am in the Georgia, so we have high humidity more than we don't...

    Manners stocks, gloss or matte for durability????

    Gloss finishes 99% are more durable in many applications. However, in most cases we are splitting hairs.

    Help with 6mm offerings

    I’ve got a box of Berger 80 vld I’m going to try after I shoot the last of my 80 elds. At $25 a box it’s hard to pass up the Hornady’s.

    Help with 6mm offerings

    What is your 223 barrel length and load? And if the 223 matches 6br why aren’t more PRS shooters moving to 223? I compete with a 223 in open class running 80 elds. There is usually on myself and maybe one or 2 more doing the same against the 6s etc.

    Entry level precision .22?

    IMO do not buy the BMR. As has been said in this thread = no products on the market. My BIL just got one a few weeks ago, and it makes a great hunting or plinking rifle. For this game - it is not. If you want to spend more on the rifle now another good option for glass that will work is a...

    Remington 700 Alpha 1

    The rifle is listed with wholesale dealers and cost is $1500 and change. I think around $1514? So, street should be under $1700?

    Defiance bought out

    Those 2 words are the problem when combined with hunting - "pros" and "influencers". It was never meant to be that way, at least not the social circle it is now. What a pro should be to a hunter is his/her father or grandfather or some other elder that mentors an inexperienced hunter...

    2022- Best .22 LR Suppressor?

    Not so much for the op, but for anyone else reading this thread doing research: I have a Ruger Silent SR 22 suppressor. When I bought it I originally wanted the Dead Air Mask, but it was out of stock. The DAM was recommended at a shoot due to the absence of first round pop. So, I bought the...

    So I want to try a chassis

    It isn’t. I’ve had one. It is affordable and modular - that’s it. It is a good stock for the price for an adult. Depending on how small your children are it won’t have a short enough LOP. The Manners recommended or the XLR element is the better choice. It’s the common denominator here on the...

    Where Do We Go From Here?

    I've been reading this thread backwards, so forgive me if I have missed something. If the crowd that you will create/build/sell-to with your new ventures is the same crowd that gravitates towards a rimfire that closely mimics a centefire - I am missing the logic. Vudoo, RimX, and Bergara all...

    Hunting Loadout

    @kthomas 3 things I would add to the pack: 1. A whistle on a lanyard to be worn inside your shirt. I hope all your hunts are safe and enjoyable, but if something ever happened to you and you loose all electronics the whistle could save your life. A person can only call for help for so long...

    Hunting & Fishing 130 AR hybrid or 120/123 AMAX on deer?

    Around here in the southeast the 6.5 creedmoor has developed a reputation as a non-effective killer. I tried to convince a friend it was the bullet not the cartridge. He benched the 6.5 creed that his son was using and got him a 7mm mag. :oops: I think the problem has come from hunters using a...

    Hunting & Fishing 130 AR hybrid or 120/123 AMAX on deer?

    To echo what has been said the 120, 123, and 130 will work out of the Grendel. I prefer the 123 eld or sst for more explosive speed. I get 2450 out of a 20" Howa with 123 eldm. Killed several deer and coyotes with that setup. I also run 123 eldm out of a 6.5 creed and it has a few coyotes...

    Remington 700 Alpha 1

    There are some people if you give them $100 they are going to complain that it's not $101. I hope they meet the expectations of this competitive market. They are a significant part of our shooting and hunting lifestyle/history, and it will be nice to see the company a heavy-weight contender...

    Hunting & Fishing Walking in with climber tree stand

    If I am going to strap a pack to a climbing stand I prefer the stand against my back and the pack strapped to it. I also bought a lumbar support belt and permanently attached it to my stand. However, in cold weather when I may have a full pack I pack front and back. Treestand on the back and...
