    Does anybody else use a rifle as a tool?

    Go after elk or moose next time, more lbs = less cost/lb. happy wife, happy life?

    Hunting & Fishing Kuiu, Kryptek, Sitka?

    You don’t need to pay big bucks for camo baselayers - shop around. But this isn’t the best time to be buying layers. Load up in April-August. Technical backcountry skiing brands all have similar products, look around. Although it is nice to support a hunting focused company.

    The Fix from Q

    I guess I’m having a hard time understanding the lack of production output from Q. Can I read between the lines that they are relying solely on Kevin’s Remington money to fund this “startup”? As a business owner I can understand the reluctance to give up equity but I also understand cash flows...

    Hunting & Fishing Need a new hunting rifle

    I love carrying my Sako Finnlight but hate to shoot it! It’s getting a brake this winter, felt recoil isn’t bad with the .300WSM, but it jumps and makes follow up difficult

    Suppressors ultra quiet ranch rifle

    Yeah, rarely can you get decent shots closer than 150-200. Which might be on the far side for the 300BO already. I’m not that good of a caller and don’t have too many dumb coyotes to always get them close but sometimes they are in your lap before you know it and then the first shot spooks the...

    Suppressors ultra quiet ranch rifle

    I hope to get my mini Fix from Q before too long and will definitely be getting a .300BO barrel ASAP. I’m more excited by this than the .224V and that is saying a lot!

    Hunting & Fishing Cold gear for long hunting sits. Sitka worth the money?

    Sitka and Kuiu are good brands but you can get the same performance for less money. A lot depends on your “need” for camouflage patterns. Maybe a camo outer shell but lots of options for down and wool underneath. Make sure you don’t get too hot on the way in, if your comfortable when you...

    Typical 17HMR Accuracy

    It’s permanently attached to my truck so it can’t leave :wink: Maybe it’s me that can’t shoot sub MOA anymore! But I’m always looking for an excuse. Seriously though, how many rounds is a .17HMR barrel good for? I’m sure I’m north of 10k easily

    Typical 17HMR Accuracy

    I’m seriously wondering if my CZ 452 is finally shot out. I shoot a couple thousand rounds of Hornady 17gr every year at ground squirrels but rarely shoot groups. Usually just check zero couple times a year. It is still fairly accurate but I doubt I could get 1MOA groups anymore. Is there a...

    The Fix from Q

    The thing with Q cans is the taper mount, which I can get behind. But if the gun isn’t something I like then I don’t really want to deal with a Q can and their adapter going forward. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt Thanks

    The Fix from Q

    Good to hear. I hope that I like it enough to buy the 6.5 and a couple cans. I’m not going to draw another resident tag for a really long time now so shooting steel and getting my son ready for junior deer tags are new priorities. Hope the .224 is a good start before transition to .243. Looks...

    The Fix from Q

    The cans are easy to find but I’m reluctant to buy another Q product until the rifle actually shows up and shoots well. Thanks for tip, never heard of Google, ill have to try it out

    The Fix from Q

    I only get a few “maybe by the end of the year” type remarks when I ask questions on Instagram posts. Some remarks were made on the Q podcast regarding barrel twist rates a few months ago. None of my emails have been returned. Who knows? Kinda getting anxious about my order, not enough to...

    Hunting & Fishing Pack out bag

    Another vote for the Kuiu Icon systems. Very impressed with the little 1850 pack. I did 28miles with 40 lbs of backpacking gear (mine plus wife’s plus 4yrolds) this summer, easy packout head and horns this fall. Buddy hauled out 2 moose in AK with his larger Kuiu pack, same frame on both...

    Hendsolt, Swarovski or Leupold Spotter?

    Sure wish Swaro would add a reticle eyepiece to the “X” line. We really liked being able to mix and match BTX/ATX eyepieces, doubler, and lenses within our hunt group to get the best optics for everyone based on their roles for the day. I need a packable eyepiece cause the BTX just isn’t made...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for .224V bolt gun - varmit and coyotes

    Which reticle and which side windage?

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for .224V bolt gun - varmit and coyotes

    I’ve never really liked the AR platform. I shoot at least 1k of .17HMR from the seat of my truck every year through my CZ. Semi auto guns spew brass all over and are ignorant to be around from my preferred shooting position. I handled an early production .308 Fix and liked the concept and fit...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for .224V bolt gun - varmit and coyotes

    If my mini Fix ever shows up I’m going to need a scope to dedicate to the .224V. I want good glass, light weight and short. Simple, clean reticle. Will be doing rodent and coyote control around the ranch, magnification to 20+is nice for ground squirrels at 300-400, they are small! That said...
