I lived and worked in the far northeast corner of Washington state for several years after the states communists got wolves reintroduced. Wolves breed uncontrollably, with a few years there were easily 10 times more wolves than the DNR would admit too. Elk populations crashed, they killed...

I saw 6.5 Creedmoor on a bear at 40 yards and a very large mule deer buck at 225yds so far this fall. Both dropped nicely with one shot, the bears lungs were vaporized. I too think 6.5 Creedmoor is bland shooting, it repeats and repeats accuracy, mild recoil and solid stopping power. It is so...

Planning a backpack mule deer hunt in the fall.

https://www.filson.com/mackinaw-field-pants.html I have these pants, they are awesome. Wearing a thin pair of long underwear will fix the wind issue. I wear them outside into the teens with zero issues. https://johnsonwoolenmills.com/product/ladies-wool-pants/ A local high end outdoor store...

I got the bug and bought some nice wool a couple of years ago. It was a solid choice and since I work 18 miles from Canada in the mountains, warm clothes are handy 8 months a year. I also bought a nice pair of White's Boots, handmade in Spokane, WA. The boots are a tad heavy and not my...

A real M24R comes in a Hardigg case, with a smaller case for the optic, spare parts kit in a small Pelican case, Allen soft case, bipod, sling and other bits. Even the "Uncle Mikes" sling swivels on an M24 are marked with an "R". I had heard they released a group of "rifle only" set-ups for...

Like everyone out west, I'd prefer you stayed where you were,,hahahaha. But, if you had to come out, Idaho is really decent for tags, license and hunting. Read the regs carefully, you pick the wrong tag or wrong area and you are stuck with your bad choice. If they have extras or tags turned...

I own a couple of Garands and a few other milsurp rifles. I try and shoot one or two Vintage Sniper and/or CMP Garand matches a year. If you ever wanted to enjoy a rifle range, try the CMP rifle range in Talladega, Alabama. They have a ton of different matches there throughout the year.

I have AR500 targets ranging from 200-750 yds on my property, nothing has marked any of them. By nothing, I mean everything from 338RUM down to 5.56mm and full auto belt fed type weapons firing AP and mild steel core eastern bloc ammo. The worst thing is an occasional tiny divot on the 200...

Hearing Protection These work fine for loud noises and do not bother your hearing that much. Being deaf is only useful if you lose hearing in the wavelengths associated with women's voices.

I have not owned either of those two scopes but I have owned several of each brand. If you could get more magnification and a Leupold for the same price as a Bushnell you will enjoy the Leupold. I have never had a problem with their customer service or had a product of theirs fail. Two of my...

I actually own a 338RUM and have none of the problems listed by people who do not own them. Brass is easy to find, you are usually limited to Remington or Nosler brass is the only problem. Brass life is not really a problem, it lasts about as long as anything else you crush with lots of...

I bought an XLR chassis for my Remington 40XB, left-handed. Everything fit perfectly, works perfectly and was delivered on time. Customer service was great from start to finish. I'd vote XLR.

Nice buckle,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you spelling is another subject. ;-)

"they failed", that is such a detailed explanation of the problem, why ask for more information? That being said, I have used Timney Triggers since the mid 1980's on several builds and currently have a 700 LA, 338 RUM with one installed. I have not had a single issue with them, ever. The...
