    Sprayed stock down with elctra clean and wiped down with clean rag. Spray painted large sections of base color with wide transitions and then used different size and shapes of natural sponge for the pattern. Just spray a little of the desired color in a shallow container and dap it in there...

    Longest Kill 6.5 Creedmoor

    My initial kill with my savage 10 in 6.5 was on a great 10 point at roughly 100 yards. 143g ELDX factory load. I was extremely disappointed in its performance. It was a quartering (single) lung shot but he still managed to make it about 120 yards after I jumped him. The stomach wrenching part...

    Bullets for 270 (mule deer/antelope only)

    They're cheap (or at least used to be) and exceedingly harder to find, but 150 g Remington core lokt's have never ever let me down. There's a lot of chatter about high BC match grade hunting projectiles, and of course they have their place, but sometimes you just need the ol fashioned soft...

    Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 on Tikka T3 Lite

    SHV lowest power is 4 which a greater difference between 2.5 than the big end between 14 and 20 IMO. And only one of those comes in FFP and its 1200 bucks on average. The OP stated that he upgraded from a PST 5-25 to the NX8 because he wanted more low end mag capabilities. There's no reason why...

    Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 on Tikka T3 Lite

    Bett Better to have and not need than to need and not have. Price point would be the same for comparable glass in lesser magnification anyway. Typically, the higher mag pieces have larger objective lenses which makes them even more desirable as a lot of shots come into play in low light...

    Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 on Tikka T3 Lite

    Why Why buy a car that goes 180 when the speed limit is 70? I have the same optics and I like that it goes all the way down to 2.5... having the big end is just a plus, why not have it? Doesn't have to be for the shot, investigating tines or assisting with aging are applicable reasons to have it.

    Bad A commercial upright freezer

    My wife's costco visits finally commandeered my little Insignia upright freezer... and being as I have 3 'lope tags and an elk tag to punch this year, I decided to bite the bullet and throw down on this commercial double door 40 cu ft freezer. I'm pretty dadgum jazzed about it too. It's simple...

    Transporting Meat in Cooler

    I just know this... When I go to the meat market, they almost never pull that ribeye rack out of a cooler of water to butcher... I just skin them asap, let them hang long enough that the meat isn't HOT, like when the meat gets that semi shiny film and it's room temp, it's good. I have been...

    Supplements

    I feel like the people who say "why do you need that" or " you don't need that" are the same people that say pellet smokers are cheating and should be driving their paychecks to the bank to deposit them manually. You don't "need" a lot of things but if they make things easier, better, faster...

    First Lite annoyance

    I’ve been sporting FL stuff long before it became popular. I love nearly every piece I’ve purchased. It’s just a f’n shame that year in and year out, they aren’t meeting the demands of their customers.

    First Lite annoyance

    Whatever the is whatever the issue is, its been the issue for several years now. It's not covid, it's not china, it's piss poor business planning.

    First Lite annoyance

    I get that, but if you're consistently selling out of a bunch of particular sizes and colors every year straight out of the gate, you should be supplying more of that... you're losing money if you don't and also forcing your customers to look at competitor options. First lite is awesome stuff...

    First Lite annoyance

    Doesn't seem like its rocket science to add more of the stuff that is constantly sold out. It's the same with action and barrel manufacturers. If you have a 38 week lead time, its time to start a 2nd and 3rd shift until you're caught up... let's get it freaking going.

    First Lite annoyance

    I swear, I could retire on the money that First Lite has missed out on. EVERY year they are sold out of everything in large and medium that I want. They can't blame it on covid, because it is ALWAYS like this. I've been trying to buy an XL brooks down jacket in conifer for a retarded amount of...
