    Cartridge poll for curiosity

    6.5CM for its variety of accurate and available factory loadings, mild recoil, and flat trajectory. Plus it will make half the people on this forum squirm which gives me a certain satisfaction.

    Rok Stock

    I never even heard of negative comb height as a feature to look for until the Rokstok came around and it got an inordinate amount of hype on here. Now everyone is acting like it is a must have feature and that this stock is the future, but I don't buy it. I usually shoot prone or sitting with a...

    On glass phone adopter

    "Universal fit" in my experience is usually anything but. Admittedly I run a Ollin, but I would have to get a new case to run the On Glass anyways so this isn't really a desirable/beneficial feature to me. Would be curious to see how well it adheres to rubberized cases as well. Ollin also...

    Flea & Tick medication

    I use Nexgard. My vet has an online portal with periodic deals so I got 6 months of Nexgard and 6 months of Heartgard Plus for $146. My sister is also a vet and that is what she recommended. My dog got bit by a tick that I missed back in December and it killed the tick without transmitting...

    Curious about butt pads.

    My first rifle ever was one of those $100 M91/30's from Big 5. Probably would not have pursued shooting sports if I didn't put that Limbsaver on there lol.

    Curious about butt pads.

    I have been starting to appreciate the Pachmayr decelerators more and more as time goes on. Even the half inch version that Manners has been offering on their light weight hunting options have been great at handling moderate recoil calibers like 300WSM and 7PRC. I do like Limbsaver as well...

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    I had a Ruger American Rimfire that shot 6-8" groups at 50 yards that was of the usual Ruger inferior fit and finish. Remington 783 that just would not feed from the magazines properly. Granted those are both budget offerings, so the expectations was pretty low. I also made the mistake of...

    Ultralight Sleeping pads for elk

    If you are trying to save weight, Thermarest is still the way to go. I have had their Xtherm since 2015 and its has never failed me. Weight and comfort/ease of inflation are sort of a trade offs with pads. My Xtherm rolls down to nothing, but takes a fair bit of blowing up which isn't the...

    Bore sighting

    I bought a laser unit when I was brand new to hunting and never will again. Most decent sized public ranges (at least near me) have steel once you get out to 200 yards or so, typically on some kind of berm/backstop. I shoot at 200 first, and spot my hits in the dirt, then use the reticle to...

    Coyote Rifle Optics

    Agreed on all accounts. Definitely have learned that when it comes to guns and optics, one size does not fit all. The civil discourse is part of what makes this forum so great. And thank you!

    Coyote Rifle Optics

    Interestingly enough, I would encourage you to consider the exact opposite and put it on top. If I am shooting and need to transition to the red dot all I have to do is lift my head up (I have a giraffe neck which helps). My stock stays in the exact same place on my shoulder, so I am not...
