    Which rifle / Is Christensen any good?

    I bought a Ti Ridgeline CA 6.5 Creedmoor for my boys sheep rifle. Based off that rifle I would buy another one. Its between 5/8-3/4 to 1 1/4 MOA pending the ammo. Hornady Precision 143 ELDx was best and 120 GMX was the biggest group.

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

    The caribou have been 200-400 yards, leaving a 24" barrel @ 3200fps. Winter hunts, shooting them on the edge of frozen lakes. Get there by way of a snow machine. These are punching tag meat hunts, nothing sexy about it. With a broadside shot 200-400 they are DRT bang flops.

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

    I have shot caribou with the 130Ar hybrids, they kill like Thor's hammer. In a 6.5 SAUM @ 3200fps, on a broadside shot it liquifies the lungs. Have only shot amax on wolf and coyote, they do a good job as long as I dont hit the shoulder, I prefer a frontal shot.

    Most accurate hunting bullet

    Am I miss remembering that Hornady made a change to the ELDx's? I have some 143 ELDx's and have had no issues, we are not slinging them at the magnum velocities. They have performed well on broadside shots on winter caribou, they mushroomed like a typical cup and core. Don't know if its the...

    Best western hunter / target cartridge

    Seems like you have some caliber variety. For the western states be aware of bears and carry a caliber that your glad you are carrying if a situation arises.

    Hunting & Fishing Your “go to” hunting rifle?

    I really like that setup and am considering a Rem 700 in 416 rem. My boys are hunting with me more and last moose season we could see the brush moving and hear the Grizz snapping his jaws and huffing. I was feeling a little under gunned.

    Group Build Thoughts, 2022 SH Rifle build from Spartan Precision

    What barrel profile are we thinking? Is it possible for a carbon fiber wrap barrel for those using this as a hunting rifle vs NRL hunting comp gun? If it’s a steel option only I prefer a 300 or 7 WSM option, I have a few sheep rifles so I don’t need that niche filled. I am excited about this...

    Post derecho, tree service guy I worked for came in an took out some good stems to mill. This Shagbark didn’t pass muster as it was bad/hollow down near the base. Wasn’t any too big to mill anyway, so they marked it for me 😊👍🏻. Just noticed it late this afternoon. Started in on the top (Hickory...
