I don’t do both. I am almost always off major trails. I hate what the CDT, 14ers and mountain bikers have done to wildlife in my area. I am well past my prime and have years of 50+ days a year living out of my pack mostly off trail with a spotting scope and no weapon or significant first aid kit...

Yup, safe to say not a single firearm or other inanimate object would be considered a love in my lifetime

So civilized

None when it’s hot to moderate temperatures. What a first world civilian problem. ECWS base layer when it’s cold. You can hang you butt out over any stream or trickle of water to clean up with every day. It’s not that complicated except in the desert or where there’s people.

Why does it matter. Know your zero and know your dope. I zero mine at x number of meters because my pace count is in meters from years of land navigation on MGRS. I can always count on my pace count if LRF or GPS has failed.

Oh hell thank you. Yer webfu very powerful

I never paid much attention to my extractor until I had a complete case head separation. I haven’t been able to find a photo on line with the right angle to compare my extractor. Does anyone know if the xbolt extractor is manufactured with a small cut out on the bottom edge? I’ve checked my...

There will be no reduction in rounds down range for suppressive fire when your maneuver element is assaulting the objective up to its LOA. It’s not precision shooting out there.

Suck it up and quit whining. ML season is a wonderful time of year to hunt and if you can’t get within 100 meters of a bull during the rut then stick to rifle season. It’s not that hard people.

I went down in weight and back in time. I got rid of all my heavy barrels and synthetic stocks, even my McMillan. All my rifles except my little 22-250 wear wood stocks and the only rifle slightly over 9 lbs is my 300 wm. I prefer my 7 rm for hunting and it isn’t over 8lbs. I live where many...

Just curious why you really like an off axis light bullet shooting barrel🤔🤷‍♂️

No better time than now to be contributing to your 401. A few worse times in history to be redeeming from those funds. Some folks just can’t handle market fluctuations and there are other options out there. I love a good recession almost as much as I love a good drought. Some of my best...

So if I read your post correctly, you don’t know how those components will perform off the lands and you don’t care to find out? Is it just a paper shooting rifle?

I hate finding flagging in the wilderness as much as I hate finding the remains of helium balloons. We’re just not that important in the grand scheme of things

They probably don’t taste much worse than some bear. Not sure what the big deal is. Baldies are a dime a dozen around here. When the lakes freeze over they hit the river fish and scavenge road kill, not too symbolic in my mind. No reason to protect them nor should goldens be protected...
