Hello, I am gauging interest in a potential trade option. I have a trip scheduled next year for Alaska and would like a new rifle but don't quite have the budget for what I'm looking for. Not sure on value here but figured I'd cast a line to see if there are any bites. I have: 1942 DOU stamped...

Haha that's what I get for hesitation. The .28 Nosler I was watching is SPF now too. Oh well, glad it worked out for ya! 👍

Sorely tempted here. In the market for a lighter option to my 12.6lb .308 (including optics). She's a tack driver but doesn't handle great in high winds and we have weight limits for our caribou hunt next year. Would the listed price include the ammo or is that separate?

Haha I love it. Looks like I need to get in touch with that interior designer! Trying to convince the wife if we can see the wall then there's room for more.

Another solid alternative. I'll be remodeling my reloading room next year and plan on a large built in cabinet/cupboard/workbench filling one wall. Having antler hardware for pulls and knobs would be a nice touch.

Interesting, I'll have to do some research around here. Might be a good chunk towards a new rifle.

Hey there's a happy looking fella! Yeah I've got 4 German Shepherds that'd love to have them. Probably what most of it will go towards except for a few decorative pieces.

Awesome ideas, especially about the limb overlays. I have a couple trad bows that would be cool to spruce up.

Curious what folks do with any extra antler they have laying around. I've got some bone taking up precious shop space and need to make room. I was thinking dog chews and a couple knife handles but was wondering what other people do. No more room in the house.

Did you have the shop cut an glue them or do your own? I'd try switching to the SS inserts if you can and a slow cure adhesive like insert iron.

Another vote for the Victory Archery Products. Starting out I swapped between a lot of different brands Gold Tips, Easton, Beaman, Carbon Express you name it. I always got the "higher end" models too. For me, the VAP TKO Elites have been by far the best for accuracy and penetration.

Haha you're not alone there, I had the same question. I've owned the hunting rifle I use most often now for a while and have recovered enough bullets out of animals to have a good "feel" for where I should and shouldn't be shooting. That said (if I can find a good deal) I'll possibly be...

Interesting, looks like I'll need to order some ballistics gel. I bought some stuff to try to make it a while back for broadhead testing but never got around to it. Also it wouldn't be the legit calibrated kind. I can't believe I never tried "loading down" my velocities. I always tried putting...

Hello, new to this forum and have a question. For those who've tried, how did you test bullet expansion at distance? I've packed newspaper into a tub then soaked with water to try to simulate an animal's body cavity and it worked okay but only for one or two shots before the tub is useless...

Hello, New to the site and figured I'd introduce myself. I grew up in a hunting family and continued the pursuit after leaving home. I now have a couple decades under my belt of consistent success here out west for Elk and Mule Deer but am always looking to learn. Though I still pick up a rifle...
