    Form 1- Build your own suppressor

    Just got my second one in 9 months. My class 3 dealer just confirmed today that the new e-file system launches Dec 15th and they estimate wait times will be 90 days by summer. Most dealers are holding paperwork until the system launches and they’ll be slammed to start but still faster than the...

    Mule deer caliber

    If the guide is telling you the shot will be that close then it won’t matter, I have friends that make those shots with a bow. If there is any chance you’ll have long shots I would definitely go with the 6.8

    Spotting scope or Binoculars….

    I dropped the spotting scope for a pair of 18x binos on a monopod a few years ago. I still carry 10x42 on my chest but you the big glass for long range glassing in open country. The monopod is lightweight and allows me to glass from any position from standing to sitting. There are times that I...

    Barrel length recommendations for 6.5 PRC and Suppressor

    I went with a 22” barrel and I’m very happy. It had to wear my Hybrid this year because my Ultra 7 hadn’t cleared. I’m still getting 2880 FPS with factory Hornady 147 Match

    6.5 PRC and 22in barrel

    Mine still has some heavy features, but will go on a further diet next year. It’s 8lbs 12oz as pictured, but i think I can get it to 8lbs ready to hunt.

    6.5 PRC and 22in barrel

    I built a 22" 6.5 PRC for this year but used a Proof carbon barrel on a Savage action. I went with 22" because I wanted to hunt with a suppressor and that also led me to the Proof barrel for the rigidity. I am very pleased with the results. Its shooting factory Hornady Match 147s at 2880fps and...

    First Montana Muley

    I am pretty lucky to have been raised hunting mule deer in SW Colorado every few years we could draw tags as a non-resident. 5 years ago I moved to Montana and had fun hunting the other species I now had in state taking my first elk, Antelope, and a couple of nice whitetails. Coming into this...

    Who is making a lightweight stock for savage

    Bolt body is from Sharp Shooter Supply and 12pt barrel nut is from Zermatt. I went with an internal box magazine with no bottom metal to save weight.

    Real world 6.5cm vs prc

    Don’t have a Creed to compare, but for reference I’m getting 2885 from factory PRC Hornady 147 ELD-M through a 22” Proof barreled Savage and that’s not even broken in. It’s shooting 1/2 MOA or better.
