    hunting rifle accuracy

    I agree the internet is full of 0.3 MOA guns…but rarely do they appear at shooting ranges. While there are exceptions, consistent 5 shot 0.3 MOA at any distance much less 500+ yards is phenomenal. Factory gun with factory ammo…mythical. Agree with humane kill comments. Throw in hunting light...

    Supressed or not

    PS: while I know this is LRH site, I hope we all get as close as practically possible when hunting. Preparing and practicing for potential long shots, but making most ethical shot possible, not backing up or passing on low/no risk chances to get closer. Cheers and best of luck to all this season

    Replace the 300wsm?

    Agree. With so many great calibers why limit to one. I have certain animals matched to certain guns…in part because they are “best” suited but also for the “just feels right” satisfaction. Have a 6.5x284, 300wsm and stuff on both sides of those. All fun to shoot.

    Thinking about a 6.5x284

    Have one (Fierce Edge). Love it. Accurate and nice fit between 30 Cal’s and 243/6mm guns. Other similar calibers can do the same but its a nice round.

    Fierce Rifles Customer Service

    Have a Fierce Edge in 6.5x284. Ordered with a diff twist so took longer than normal when I bought many years ago. Have not used customer service but very happy with the rifle. Cheers

    Well boys got scammed on gunbroker(possibly resolved)

    If you sent payment via mail, that fraud becomes a more serious offense. And potentially has more options for authorities to get involved.

    My Hunting Partner Gone but Not Forgotten

    Great story and thank you for sharing. The older I get the less I care about the animals and more I care about the company.

    Getting in mountain shape with no mountains around?

    Agree. Live near 100’ elevation and think training can solve 2 of 3 issues. 1. Leg and knee strength…stairs or incline and deep knee bends…wearing you hunting boots also helpful. 2. Shoulder/back. Have found that wearing my pack some during training reduces shoulder fatigue and the pain that...

    Shipping game meat

    Most airlines allow meat, best is to have it frozen so no dry ice required. If not possible, fly Southwest as they do not charge for dry ice (United charges $100 per bag if it contains dry ice). Use plastic coolers, as styrofoam not accepted. Side note, clothes make a great insulator…once...

    Why does it feel like everyone has too much money?

    In all practical and legal driving situations a Honda Accord can match a BMW but one is “nicer”. Some think nice is worth the extra cost and some don’t, even though they can afford it. Custom or high end guns may not shoot that much better than some factory guns, but they are “fine pieces of...

    Other forums - value and/or issues

    I love LRH and it is my primary “go to” place for most things hunting and shooting. I am a member of a few other sites, e.g. Benchrest Central, and while not as active in those, I have always felt welcome and experienced reasonable responses/dialog even where opinions differ. Recently had a...
