    6.5x284 Hunting rifle?

    I had one built last year and it shoots awesome. 156’s being pushed by N565 has been a great combo. I still shoot my 300 for elk but I’d have no hesitation to use it on elk if I wanted.

    El vs SF

    I know there are posts discussing this and I’ve read them, along with any others I could find. I have a little wrinkle to the discussion that I’m wondering if it would change anyone’s choice. If you could get the Zeiss SF ($999 discount) for the same price as a set of EL’s, $1999, would that...

    Saltwater fly fishing reels

    Hatch, Nautilus, Abel, Tibor, Bauer, and the newer Sage reels are all good. If you decide to go used and are looking at a Hatch make sure it’s a gen 2 reel. I just had my 3rd gen 1 reel come into the shop today that I need to send back to them for drag replacement. It’s a big problem with their...

    N565/570 a legitimate RL26 replacement?

    I’ve tried both rl26 and N565 in my 6.5-284 and 300. I usually see about a ~2gr difference between the powders to get the same velocity. I still use 26 for my 30cals but I’m using 565 in my 6.5. N565 is a great powder, dispenses very consistent as well.

    Did it make the jump?

    Until NPR reports on this I’m not believing anything.

    Did it make the jump?

    But I thought google was combatting misinformation?

    wolf management debate

    Pro-wolf folks wanting to listen and work to find a compromise…..that’s fking hilarious. Are these the same people who have gone back on their word here in Oregon about management/seasons after a target number was reached? The same people who file lawsuit after lawsuit? We evidently don’t have...

    300 WM Scope Recommendation

    Love for Leupold won’t be found on this site. Besides nobody should be shooting a 300wm, way too much gun to shoot accurately. All kidding aside, you’ll get 100 responses to go look at the scope evaluation thread but let me make this quick….Nightforce or Trijicon.

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    That’s the way the entire country has been going. No blowback or accountability on anything, no matter how blatant or wrong the decision.

    The death of the retail store

    I understand a good deal but the problem is when we have a supply chain problem, war with the country that makes those cheaper products, etc then those manufacturers/suppliers/local stores who we put out of business by buying cheap foreign shit…where does that leave us? I’m all for good deals...

    April 8th Eclipse

    I guess I don’t get the whole fascination of the eclipse. Major network newscasters were literally crying or acting crazy, wtf? To each their own I guess. It’s not like this just didn’t happen 7 years ago.

    CA fatal lion attack

    Bad, blue govt (synonymous?)….that sounds like a nightmare, one we’re living in right now. I guess if you resign yourself to that thought we don’t have much to look forward to, in my opinion. I’d rather go back to better days.

    Climate change is really what’s causing inflation[emoji23]

    I can see the next headline now…the border is being flooded because it’s getting too hot in these other countries, wafj. It’s amazing how nobody is responsible for anything that’s happening, blame is always on something else.
