    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    I am tracking it! Happy to see it! I am most certainly not an electronic drivetrain guy. I have ridden it all XT, XTR, Eagle Mechanical, Eagle AXS, & wireless Transmission. I prefer XO1 mechanical. I may try this new mechanical transmission, I like the UDH and that the Derailleur can be rebuilt...

    As long as you think you will like the HTA & STA change, slacker should track better down hill but it may throw off the handling on corners & climbs. Do some geo chart comparisons, that may help…

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    I have been in the 24”-27” barrel length being optimal for precision with the 22lr for about 15 years now. I have seen it play out time and time again over a crap load of both factory and custom builds that I have owned with various barrel manufacturers, rifling styles, and chamberings. It...

    Knife sharpening for dummies

    Agreed, that's why I normally don't use anything over the 800 grit for my hard use knives.

    Knife sharpening for dummies

    Not to be argumentative, but I have to disagree about the "fancier sharpeners" creating an edge that is less durable. Those sharpeners are equally or even moreso capable of creating a durable edge. The user has the ability to choose the angle and the finish on the edge. I do agree it's much...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Having owned a non lugged M1A, a rear lugged Super Match, and a full custom built double lugged that was pillar bedded and bolted (in each lug) into a McMillan stock with the heaviest Krieger that would fit by the oprod I have to say double lug pillar bedded and bolted is the move. With a...

    Best trigger for a precision rifle build?

    The several Bix I have owned all feel a little vague, not quite mushy but not crisp. I just never liked that feel. They were all consistent, which is the most important though. After owning several I became a big fan of the Tubb T7T. Other than the body of the trigger not fitting in a chassis...

    Who Makes the Best Switch Barrel Rifle?

    Great looking rifle! How do you like that scope? I have been wanting to try one but am leary. Also, do you have any issues with the Zeus holding zero if you impact the barrel? I heard some grumblings about that early on when they first came out, but it kinda seemed like BS to me…

    That's a great design also.

    Who Makes the Best Switch Barrel Rifle?

    AI with the Quickloc, DTA, Barrett, Sig SSG3000 / Sauer 200STR The only one I don’t have 1st hand experience with testing return to zero & repeatability is Barrett. Of those mentioned above they are all equally as repeatable and extremely accurate. I personally think DTA has the best design...

    Tikka T3 A1 / Barrel - Yuck

    I agree completely with a thorough cleaning and torque check then re-test with better ammo, but if I were you I would also get a barrel on order. You will need it anyway.

    Which Chassis and Why?

    It is a personal preference thing. I personally don’t like the pistol grip chassis, so most are out for me. I much prefer a neutral thumb position (laying naturally behind the tang). So that limits me, but it doesn’t hinder me. I like my Bravo chassis, Manners w/ the mini chassis system...

    K-Bars Montana knife company

    If you are not familiar with Daniel Winkler take a few minutes to look him up, he & his knives are legit. Not to take anything from Josh Smith of MKC, I am sure Josh is equally as accomplished (he has to be to become a master blade smith at 19). I haven’t owned any MKC knives, I never liked the...
