    Maggie’s Planning a Road Trip to Alaska - Need Intel

    I'm getting itchy feet, so it's time to start planning a road trip. I want to see Alaska. It will be nearly 7000 miles roundtrip by the time I factor in excursions. I'm aiming for September. With any luck, this tariff situation will have settled down by then and all they'll hate me for is being...

    Problem with one of my gun safes.

    One of my gun safes is a little Sentry 16 gun with a dial combination. A while back I went to open it, dialed in the combo, and cranked the latch a partial turn when everything seized up. The latch lever won't open or close. The combo dial won't turn in either direction. There's a lot of guns...

    Hunting & Fishing Question About Elk Observations this Year

    Greetings. I live in Salinas CA, and we have Tule Elk that hang out in our surrounding area. They're a protected species, so I can't hunt them. But I do enjoy tracking their movements and monitoring their behavior. This year something odd is going on. They are already showing rut behavior. The...

    Gunsmithing Rechambering a Tikka T3 Tactical - Yes or No?

    So last September I bought a T3 tactical in .223. Round count is about 1500. It's a good shooter. Seems to like 75gn pills the best, but does acceptable with 69gn. Primary purpose is target and some varmint shooting. 100 to 500 yards. I'm considering having it rechambered to 5.56 to take...

    Hunting & Fishing What Size Objective Lense for Varmiting?

    Greetings. I just ordered a Tikka T3 in 223 that I pan to use for Varmint shooting. First however, I need to finish dressing it up. My question: All other things being equal (brand, model, magnification range...etc.); what size objective is most practical for a rifle that I can expect...

    Happy Birthday to Me!

    Just put the money down on a Tikka T3 Tactical in 223. I had originally wanted the Varmint model, but this was what's available right now. It'll see use on Coyotes, ground squirrels, and jack rabbits. It'll also see plenty of range use, of course. I have a T3 Lite in 308 that decided me on...

    A few weeks back, I took my new Akita (Sayo) for her first hunt on my friends ranch. Sayo is about 2 years old, had almost no previous training, but learns fast. Originally, we were looking for hogs. But after a while it became obvious none of the tracks or rooting was very fresh. While we...

    Another Long Time Lurker from CA...

    Howdy, You guys have been helping me with my shooting for a long time now. Thank you for that. For most of my life, my shooting consisted mostly of hunting. But as hunting lands in CA became more limited, I've found myself spending more and more time punching paper at the public range...
