    Sidearms & Scatterguns Drinking the CZ coolaid, which model?

    I'm not a competition pistol shooter, so I can't comment on classifications etc. But I have an original Shadow I made all the numerous improvements to in order to optimize the pistol. Honestly I don't know what class I could shoot it in. But it is the sweetest shooting pistol I own. I would...

    Well I can say I used soda can side shims on a muzzleloader, and it worked well. YMMV.

    Range Report Public Range chaos

    Exactly that. When I bought my house, the #1 criteria was enough land, distance, and surroundings to allow me to put up berms and shoot to at least 300 yards.

    Experimental Aircraft

    OP is white screen of death. Had a guy a few years in front of me in high school, family was hardcore. Father was a pilot of many things, they had a sod landing strip on their property. Son was even more hardcore. By his early 40s he was a certified pilot of pretty much everything...

    New pickup opinions

    For 6 months I've had a 2016 F150 with 4 full doors, 6.5ft bed, and the turbo V6. That combo is a unicorn and it took some time to find one, but this is the best truck I've ever owned. It has a ton of power compared to the 2003 Dodge Ram 8cyl I traded in for it. Only feature you list it...

    Of COURSE you'll need more rounds if you pick the wrong ones for the job...and I note his choice of a semi led to a jam which could have cost him his life. Every choice has consequences.

    Hunting & Fishing 300 BO subsonic for medium sized game?

    9mm handguns are illegal to hunt with pretty much everywhere, and are larger caliber and higher velocity than 300 Blackout. What makes you think you have a 300 yard gun? It's a terrible idea.

    Suppressors Subsonic for deer

    LOL. Would you like to point on the doll exactly where spaniel hurt you? Lots of defensive comments about stuff I didn't event say. Basically, it's a FACT that the head is the most mobile part of the deer. In my decades of deer hunting I've seen far too many screwed up head shots, which in...

    Suppressors Subsonic for deer

    This really doesn't make sense. A subsonic round and a 44mag throwing 240-300gr bullets kill in very different ways. "Power" doesn't even make sense, I don't care what the kinetic energy numbers say. A sub is essentially a broadhead, if you are smart enough to choose one of the few bullets...

    Best hunting rifle under $750

    Personally I'd go with a Savage Model 10/11/12 (or long action equivalent) or a Tikka. I like the Savage because I can build whatever I want with it once I get tired of the cheap original configuration. If you are on a real budget and won't shoot the rifle a lot the Ruger American is a great...

    Suppressors Subsonic for deer

    Perhaps with a 458 SOCOM but otherwise you are taking a major risk of causing needless suffering for absolutely no reason. Expanding 9mm Luger is illegal pretty much everywhere for deer hunting, why would a subsonic smaller diameter bullet (Blackout) be any better?

    Best Self-timing Muzzle Brake out there?

    I shoot a Heathen brake on my 338 Edge. I did a ton of research, and selected the Heathen based on balancing recoil reduction with protecting the shooter (and a close-in spotter) from blast and concussion. I've been around and shot a lot of 338s, and mine is the friendliest of them all. Yes...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hunting carry Sidearm

    I own them all. 329PD, Taurus TI 41Mag, 10mms in multiple flavors. The 10mm is my favorite handgun round. I do hunt in grizz country and I carry the 329PD and loan the Taurus to whomever is hunting with me. If you're not proficient with the gun that is a training problem, not a deficiency of...

    Why stopping the caravan at the border is a brilliant plan...

    Sadly I'm not sure I agree. I grew up on a farm and earned my money working neighboring farms, putting on roofs, and bailing hay in the summer. When I was in grad school, perhaps 8 years after I left, I was back riding around checking fields with my dad and I noted that NOBODY was stacking...

    The Creedmoor Coolaid

    Please understand I'm not implying it's a crap round. Only that stories of its superiority to practically everything else are overblown. It's a decent mid range option with some modest advantages to other 6.5s, but not a clear winner overall, and outclassed by larger caliber, higher BC options...

    The Creedmoor Coolaid

    That's a misleading comparison. Who is going to shoot 190s and take the recoil of a 300WM if they care about trajectory? You're going to shoot 200-215 and beat the CM handily for very minor additional recoil over the 190s. I've watched the good 300s at long range vs the smaller options and...

    Why stopping the caravan at the border is a brilliant plan...

    So this caravan takes >1 month to travel from the Guatamalan border to Mexico City, less than halfway to the US. Talk is that they are headed for the closest crossing point, Texas. Suddenly, less than a week later, the entire caravan is 1500 miles away in Tijuana (where they cross into a more...

    Viking Deer splitter sucks

    I don't eat the organ meats, but if I'm with someone who does we go in and get them. I get more meat this way than when I paid a professional butcher, and theirs still has bones frozen in the steaks whereas mine are boneless, so I feel pretty good about my recovery %. There is a pretty big...

    The Creedmoor Coolaid

    At best, the 6.5CM has marginal benefits over similar cartridges. The only major difference is the easy availability of factory match ammo. Not all that long ago on this same forum "everyone needs a .308". But the pre-CM 6.5s were around, beating .308 performance...so it wasn't performance...

    Viking Deer splitter sucks

    All the time. In fact if I shoot one and am going to process same day, I do this just to avoid the mess. It's pretty simple. Skin one side and throw the skin over behind the spine side. Take all the meat off that side of the animal. Once you have the rear quarter and backstraps off, feel...
