    Sister's Millennial son and daughter, wtf happened?

    Some kids are like bottle rockets. Most work as designed, some pop early, and others are a dud. With two duds, I bet the parents screwed up somewhere.

    Barrel Rankings

    I'm pretty sure MPA put the Xcaliber barrels on the cheaper production guns. The BA and the rest of the non-price point rifles will get the MPA Spencer barrels. The MPA/Spencer barrels I've had are lights out, and leave nothing to be desired from the Bartlein, Krieger, and Proof barrels I've...

    Why the hatred for savage?

    When I see a rifle having malfunctions at a match, 95% of the time it's a Savage. Couple that with the headache I've had with my son's Savage 260 (have replaced everything but the action and barrel) having failure to fires, and the many trips to gunsmiths, I'm done with Savage.

    Carrying a side arm while recreating?

    Kenai chest rig while backpacking, or FHF bino harness/chest rig combo while hunting.

    New 22 cal for varmints - What to chamber 22-250, 22-250AI, 22GT, 22 Creed?

    Eh, my Swifts aren't any harder on a barrel than my 22-250s. I still prefer Swifts when sitting over a prairie dog town.

    Shorter range data not lining up with mile data

    The hardest part of learning for a human being is to squash their ego, and admit they may not know something. The answers have been given to you, but the only way you learn how different environmental factors affect your ability to precisely put rounds on target is to shoot in them. Couple that...

    Inconsistent Pressure signs (Swipe/Ejector marks) on virgin brass with 6.5 "light-ish" loads

    I have a 6.5 gas gun that I fought pressure signs with after two barrels, different bolts, etc. After doing research, it was evident that everyone has pressure sign issues with 6.5 gassers. I ended up ordering a Criterion barrel with the matched/headspaced JP high pressure bolt with the small...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell vs ZCO

    Because certain optics made in certain places have certain track records. ATACR killer from Bushnell? I guess time will tell. OP, until someone gets their hands on this "ATACR killer", I would go with a ZCO over any Bushnell.

    Mil-C or Mil-XT

    Mil XT for me. I always hold wind, except on movers, and can see splash at 1400 easy. Anything past that in the matches I shoot have target indicators.

    What Short Action Elk Caliber for Youth Rifle

    I live in Wyoming also, and understand the minute differences in the elk subspecies. People take elk every year with Bows, so I find the caliber discussion for elk kind of funny. Know your gun and it's limitations, practice, and use a good bullet. Any short action in 24 caliber or bigger, with...

    What Short Action Elk Caliber for Youth Rifle

    My wife stacked elk like cord wood for years with a 243 until I got her a 308. Shot placement is key. I have witnessed many elk run for miles after a bad hit from magnum cartridges because the people using them were scared to death of their rifles. My two sons have killed several elk with...

    I went with the 1.125 for my 7-35x56 ATACR, and it's the perfect height.

    How do you use your support hand on barricades?

    Where'd you get that full length bridge? Depending on the type of prop, I trip the front bag and side rail, or top of the scope.

    And this is why things get banned....

    Social media has kindled the flame of "Hey! Look at me!", which appeals to a large amount of people.

    50 Beowulf and its host

    Yes the AA mags work better, but I have modified PMags to work good. AA doesn't sell an upper with a dust cover because the ejection port is enlarged to eject the fat case, but I have seen on Arfcom where someone modified an upper to use a dust cover. The magazine and feeding issues, which are...

    And this is why things get banned....

    No, things get banned because of an overreaching government. Stupid people just happen to hasten this along because Karens can see it on CNN, and write their representatives to save the children.
