    Josh Smith from Montana Knife Company

    I believe he addresses the limitations of MKC's manufacturing capacity in his last podcast. I own one MKC knife that my wife used to skin and process a couple deer this last year. She had no complaints and was surprised how long the blade stayed sharp. I always try and support US small business.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    I used to hunt with a rifle that had a hinge plate. The location I hunted required me to unload while walking through a certain area. Trying to unload and reload that rifle in subzero temps while wearing/not wearing gloves and inevitably dropping rounds in the snow made me switch to a magazine...

    Is it worth it to go to a 0 degree SG Chilkoot bag?

    My 0 degree has been worth every penny. After squeezing into a 0 degree Nemo Sonic (another good bag) the Chilkoot feels luxurious in comparison.

    22" 7 PRC w/ 9" suppressor or 26" w/ earplugs

    I have a 22 inch 7 PRC that I shoot suppressed. Yesterday I shot both the 7 PRC and my 26 inch braked 300 Win Mag. After shooting the 300 Win in a covered range a few times I was happy to go back to shooting the suppressed rifle.

    7 PRC 6.5 PRC Recoil

    I have both. I have a 24 inch 6.5 prc and a 22 inch 7 Prc. Shooting them suppressed, the 6.5 recoils a tad less than the 7 prc. If you are happy with the results with your 6.5 prc I would stick with that. Unless you are like me and like to try out new stuff. I like my 7 Prc. It is easy to load...

    Unknown no longer reloading

    I’ve had good experience with Hendershots. Their 7mm prc 160 accubond load was very accurate in my rifle. Same for 175 Berger Elite. I just ordered some 168 Bergers 7 Saum. We’ll see how they work out.

    Xero C1 PRO Chronograph

    Definitely worth it. It's so small I forgot I had it in my coat pocket until it fell out, lol.

    New Tikka put together

    So that’s what a stock Tikka looks like, lol. I have a bunch of modified, “upgraded” Tikkas. My wife has a stainless 7mm 08 that she loves and has threatened me if I even touch it. Nice looking rifle 👍

    Carbon six 7prc tikka

    Yup, that’s what I meant. Hasn’t been an issue with the ammunition I’ve been using. I haven’t had any other issues with my other Tikka prefits from Proof or Carbon 6, however I will probably have UM build me a 7 Saum with a BAT action next.

    Carbon six 7prc tikka

    Never measured it. The bolt wouldn’t close on go gauge.

    Carbon six 7prc tikka

    I built a 22inch 7mm prc on a Tikka. The Carbon 6 barrel is a little short. The only issue I have had is that the rifle won’t chamber some ELDM 180 factory ammunition. It feeds everything else smoothly,factory and custom ammunition. The barrel is accurate like all my other Carbon 6 barrels.

    Wall tent vs bell tent help me decide

    I have the 13’. With a stove, we have slept 3 guys with most of our gear very comfortably . No stove you could get 4 guys in there. I can fit my family of six (4 kids 17 and under).

    Wall tent vs bell tent help me decide

    I have a white duck bell tent. It’s been great in rain, snow, and high wind. The only suggestion I have is to invest in better stakes. It is pretty easy to bend them in hard ground. It is super easy to set up and take down.

    Solo and a 3 person Tent?

    I use either a Marmot Tungsten 3P (Awesome tent; especially hunting/camping with my wife) or a Stone Glacier 2p for my solo backpack hunting trips. Not much difference in weight. The main difference is the pole length. I can generally pack the SG in a side pocket. The Marmot is usually...

    7 PRC Velocities / FACTORY Ammo

    I shot my 22 inch Carbon 6 7 prc last week. It has about 100 rounds through it. I was getting 2924 fps with 175 Eldx factory and 2945 fps with factory CX . This is with a suppressor as well. Accuracy has been great with all ammunition.
