    Should we start to boycot these high prices?

    Of course, IF we keep paying the price the expenses won't change, HOWEVER- Copper prices exploded, and other supply issues are impacted. Do companies buy materials at high prices to keep customers cared for? Also, to not pay the prices closes most small businesses. How do we speak to the real...

    I think I just built my favorite hunting rifle

    Used my 6.5x06 for 12 years now. Long and short distances. Table fare every year. Sub-moa consistent. H4831. 120 NBT's, 129 Hornady SST's, and 140 NPT's that still make moa, it doesn't seem to matter... The wife calls it "The other lady in my life." I have numerous other calibers, but this is...

(Dont know if Colorado rule still stands on bow weight.) Above those bow weights the broadhead weights were based on combination...

    Hunting with the 6.5/06

    Hunting with the 6.5/06

    Built mine 14 years ago. Springfield action with ER Shaw 24 " stainless. Used for deer, elk and antelope. Got the idea to build it using P. O. Ackley's book. It loves BT 120`s and very consistent with 140's and h4831. It is a great combo for my use. You will enjoy it.
