    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    My dream carry gun would be an sig p365 fcu that has a HK light lem trigger in it. Keep the modularity of the different grip modules and slides, but the lem trigger is my favorite carry trigger out there.

    For those who have done it...

    I have helped a buddy rebarrel a savage, so the back half of the install would be similar to the remage build. It is certainly possible to do, but at that point I think the cost of a bighorn origin is hard to pass up on. Lots of prefit options over the counter and you can install them easily at...

    Top end 22 centerfire suppressor

    I am a huge fan of rugged suppressors. If you are going for as quiet as possible I think having a 30 cal can that you can put a different end cap on seems to work really well. If I was getting a can for a bolt gun I would get an Alaskan 360ti and you can put it on nearly everything.

    Custom CRF action

    Another vote for a Bighorn TL3. I like the idea of a mausingfield, but the bighorn has served me well and cheap proof prefits that shoot really well are hard to pass.

    What rifles are you planning to use in the 23/24 deer seaon?

    I hope to fill my tag with an Elite Remedy, but if I don’t manage to poke one by rifle season I’ll be using a Tikka T3x super light in .308 shooting a 130gr ttsx. It’s topped with a trijicon accupoint 2.5-10x56 which is one of the best low-light scopes I’ve come across.

    Help me get started ML hunting

    I picked up a cva accura pr last year with the plans of an Ohio hunt that didn’t pan out, and decided to go out for early season muzzle loader this year since I have it. I am using bh209 and it works as advertised, but really expensive. I am a bow hunter at heart and would much rather spend my...

    22 for daughters

    My oldest is about to turn 7 and finally able to get out to the range with me. Her favorite .22 is a 4.5” upper on an ar, it’s light enough and weight is within her arms that she doesn’t wear out holding it up. Plus you can use speed loaders to keep up with them.

    BH209!!! WTHeck!!!!

    I need to do the math on cost saving per shot for a smokeless ml vs blackhorn and see how long it would take to make up the 600 dollar barrel for the TL3.

    Bog fieldpod vs deathgrip sturdiness

    I don’t have any experience with the death grip, but I have used the bog pod in the past and currently use an Athlon Midas cf40 tripod. I have a monfroto hog saddle knock off and it works well for guns that I don’t want to modify for an arca rail, but direct arca is really the answer for...

    Tripod setup for Contenders

    I have used a hog saddle that attaches via an arca clamp to my tripod for the guns that I cant put an arca section on, and it works fairly well for a cva scout rifle (pistol would work just as well). This would allow you to keep the gun in a holster.

    New Rifle Purchase Decision

    In my experience with left handed bolt actions so far (admittedly significantly less than the majority of this site, but I’ve owned and worked up a handful or two) my advice is this. If you want to stay under a grand, pick up a tikka in whatever caliber you want and call it a day. There might be...

    Practice Rifle .223 or 6.5 creedmoor

    I’m not sure what distances you have for practice, but I have found myself using a precision rimfire trainer more than anything else. A .22lr at 100 yards is pretty humbling when it comes to wind calls.

    Recommend a forgiving bow to draw....

    Last year I switched to an Elite Remedy and it’s a dream to shoot at 65bs. It’s very accurate and excellent draw cycle, if I ever get time to shoot in 3d it will be the how I use.

    243/6mm rifle build...thoughts?

    I built a 6 creed off of a tl3 action with a prefit barrel at home, and it’s been the most boring gun I’ve played with. First load I threw together shoots a consistent 1/2 moa so I didn’t chase anything past that (I can’t shoot any better than that, I’m clearly the limiting factor here). When I...

    Help me decide short barrel 6mm

    How much does velocity matter in this application? I have a 24” 6 creed and I love it, but once this barrel is shot out I’ll be going to a 6 dasher. The difference in velocity isn’t going to affect my hit percentage at all, and it’s a much more efficient cartridge.
