    CVA cascade

    I bought....I mean Santa was good to me this year and delivered a CVA Cascade SB from Sportsman's Warehouse (for $529)....figured what the heck its worth a try. It's a 223 in the same model as Ross1147 has in his picture above. I actually like the shorty 18" barrel setup, it feels and swings...

    Almost too easy

    Out here in the desert we have little ground squirrels that live in holes in the ground. They are about the size of a chipmunk. Little buggers pack away all the seed from my quail feeder and gnaw away at the grain block on the ground too. I have a couple sandbags and a suppressed 22 out my...

    I ran this through Chat GPT and it said the 6.5 Creedmoor was basically infinity. #winning

    Top end 22 centerfire suppressor

    I really want to say thank you to all who have supported with their insights and experiences. I read a lot here, and researched a lot on the web which helped me further define my needs. Also, I reached out to a couple people nearby and actually wiggled my way into a range day with 2 fellows...

    Top end 22 centerfire suppressor

    I’m looking for opinions on best hands down 22 caliber suppressor for centerfire rounds (mostly 223, some 22-250, etc). This would be for a bolt action rifle 96% of the time and I don’t need the ability to convert it to bigger calibers if it makes a difference in your advice. I varmint hunt...

    Which Hunting Knife

    A friend gave me one of Randy Newberg’s multi blade knives form Gerber. Never thought much of them till I used it. I especially like the serrated break-down blade for getting them or opened up and ready to bone out. Works even better after they get a little tissue in them and tighten the blade...

    2022 Sheep Hunts

    I know one of the lucky Desert BHS draw recipients from NM this year. That’s my only claim to fame. A friend and I are booking an Oufad hunt in West Texas this year, using all the refunded money from our unsuccessful bids. Just making Lemonade I guess.

    Non-resident license fees.

    Residents pay taxes and fees of several types to their state all years long, and the states see fit to give them a cost break on hunting license fees. Non-residents pay an increased fee, like it or not. I agree that the cost difference between the two can be drastic. I also think it’s kind...

    Too much or not enough powder?

    I have 3rd hand inherited an old cardboard keg of 4350 powder that was from before I was born and it works just fine. Every now and then I open it up and scoop out a pound to refill my bottle. My dad has the same in some 4895, near empty though. I have several old school steel cans of IMR...

    Primers in stock

    Ouch…$149 is steep even before shipping, Hazmat. I walked into Sportsmans in Albuquerque last week and they had 2 bricks of Federal Large Rifle Magnums, I could have bought both but decided to leave one behind for the next lucky guy. $54.99 per thousand. Hell of a score.

    OT-- your favorite dog name

    For a pug….how about Grendel? Probably will not be wife approved though. But it would be sweet for an abbreviated dog like a pug. Just don’t name it Creedmoor…ha!
