    Inexpensive chronograph

    All I've ever used is a Shooting Chrony. Setup is a PIA, some weather conditions can be limiting, and VERY occasionally I encounter error issues I can't explain. But overall, for the $80 or so I paid for it, I have to consider the results pretty good for the price paid. However it's time to...

    Hunting & Fishing Have you ever had someone else try to claim your kill?

    Many years ago I was hunting on my grandfather's land and heard a shot on neighboring land. Not a big deal. About half an hour later I see a buck sneaking along the edge of the woods I'm hunting in, moving slow. So I stalk it, and shoot it through the lungs. I affix my tag and leave to get...

    Hunting & Fishing Did I hit the deer

    Yes, some of us who have ethics tend to get butt hurt when encountering people who have none. No hair, no blood, so hey, you feel clear for making a sh!tty decision on an animal likely to die unrecovered! Good for you! You join the ranks of those on here who think a subsonic 300 Blackout is a...

    Hunting & Fishing Did I hit the deer

    So you're confirming you're an unethical sh!thead. "Any tips"? Yeah, learn to own your behavior and respect the animals you shoot at, because you are the type which give the rest of us a bad name. You're on ignore now.

    Hunting & Fishing Did I hit the deer

    Is wounding game based 100% off your own incompetence funny to you? Serious question.

    Hunting & Fishing Did I hit the deer

    So you screwed up and took non-hunting ammo on a hunting trip. Then you doubled down by aiming at the smallest and most mobile lethal shot on a deer. Frankly you have no business shooting at living things. "somehow" you didn't have your ammo on you today. That's 100% on you. So you elected...

    300 Win Mag Brass

    No more Win for me. Just the fact that they let that crap in their sellable product says they aren't worth considering.

    300 Win Mag Brass

    My 300WM is all old Winchester, and was very good stuff. Based on all bottleneck Winchester brass bought in the last 4 years, I'm done, I'll never buy another bag. Complete garbage. Worst brand now by far. I've had great luck with all Lapua and Starline for that matter. If Lapua made...

    I got reported, should I be banned

    Ban yourself for a day as a warning. Since you can't work, go shooting.

    No love for the .243 Win.?

    I wouldn't want to be near anyone trying that. I shoot a 243AI and if I were to even attempt those velocities I'd be blowing primers out of the cases.

    Obscure / Unknown U.S. History

    The Feinian Raids. Irish-American Civil War veterans make several attempts to invade Canadian territory in an effort to force Britain to divert resources from Ireland. My great-great-great grandfather served in the Canadian militia which repelled one of the invasions; I have never figured out...

    Hunting & Fishing Remington 600 for Elk Hunting

    A big variable is range. Where I hunt in MT plenty of locals use 270s. They limit themselves to around 300 yards. Makes sense. If you are going to extend the range it makes sense to move to bigger rifles. I started with my 300WM hunting there, and a lot of people were impressed with the...

    McMillan Stock

    Bedding a McMillan is an easy job. There is only upside. I simply do it before shooting the rifle. Takes one evening to do it and some time on a second evening to clean it up.

    Legal Precedent May Be CNN's Friend

    Acosta didn't lose his pass because of his viewpoints....most of the people in the press pool have it in for Trump. He lost it because he's a dick. The Constitution does not protect your right to be a dick. The press used to be able to engage with people they disagreed with in a mature and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Anybody have experience with the EAA 10mm?

    Can't comment on that particular pistol from experience, but if the grip is large, try a single stack 10mm like a 1911. I have a Kimber Eclipse in 10mm which I have taken deer with, 20-30 yard range. Results have been great. A couple winters from now I plan on acquiring Caspian parts to build...

    Gunsmithing Action choices and Gunsmith views **action purchased**

    I screw quality prefits onto factory Savage or Remington actions for my hunting rifles. Without fail, they are sub-.5 MOA. People fight about group sizes so I won't try to quantify further, but I will say if I dropped another $1K into these rifles it wouldn't be expecting better accuracy...

    Entry Level Precision Rifles

    Why a threaded barrel? Do you already own a suppressor? If not, I'd cut those plans and lump that budget into the rifle budget. You're not going to get much rifle for $500-600. This is a lower end factory rifle range. That said, you can get a nice Savage or Tikka which will easily shoot...

    Budget 4x4 pickup

    You're looking for a <$4K 4X4 that isn't a money pit, in other words, that won't require significant repairs? Do you see the interent incompatibilities in your requests? Any 4X4 in your price range will have really, really high mileage or be >12 years old. These are the trucks that work well...

    Here we go again.....GUN CONTROL

    More wasted time scoring political points sending bills out of the House to be tabled by the Senate and White House. Too bad .gov can't focus on actually accomplishing something useful.

    Rifle Scopes Mechanical function of Burris XTR2

    I have a 4X20 on a 300WM and a 5X25 on a 338 Edge. The 5X25 has been pushed a lot harder and that particular rifle has been ridden and put away wet on several hunts, banged around in a case on three 5000 mile round trip hunts in the back of a truck. The zero is still true. Took third with...
