    I’m not sure. I’ve actually only bought a couple of the Multicam ones when they pop up on eBay.

    Kids rifle manifesto

    Friends who know my obsession with firearms often ask my opinion on the subject and I’ve always believed a cartridge like 6.5 Grendel in a suppressed AR platform is the perfect solution. Like the OP stated, low recoil is vital as is remedied with a “light” caliber such a suppressed 6.5...

    Is the 204 ruger dead?

    As a proud owner of a pretty decent custom .204 and enjoyed seeing what the caliber can do… it might not be dead, but it’s reaching .300 Weatherby Mag status. With the increasing popularity of suppressors and thus the preference for shortened barrels (neutering its speeds), not to mention...

    Switched dogs to raw diet...WOW

    I feel like I read somewhere that certain states don’t allow game meat to be used for pets. I’ve always been interested in doing this for my dog. Every time I give my dog leftover tbones her teeth are cleaner. It just seems right that canids shouldn’t be eating highly processed foods, similar to...

    Dedicated Big Woods Whitetail Setup

    I like more cartridge for deer/big game rather than something like a .223 with a light bullet, but I love ar platforms. I’ve gone the direction of 6.5 Grendel suppressed with a 1-8.5 with illuminated reticle. I may go 16” ruger sfar in .308 in the near future, like I said earlier in preferring...

    I’m constantly angered by that, “one friend” to the depths of my core, yet… I married into a family of them.

    When do WT antlers drop in your area?

    I’ve picked my earliest shed up on January 1st (central MN) and I’ve seen antlers on hard horned deer into mid April (big central Iowa 10, with 4 other shed out bucks!).

    Bic is the Glock of lighters

    If you don’t find mini bic lighters in every pouch or zippered pocket of your outdoor wear… you’re not an outdoorsman.

    Need advice , my pup is getting aggressive ..

    This is a great thread. In my limited experience of gun dog ownership and training (2 GSPs and 5 English setters), I’ve seen and resolved similar problems. From my experiences and reading the thread I want to emphasize a few of my opinions: 1- immediate correction with a collar is better than...

    AR hunters

    I love hunting with AR’s. I’ve hunted Iowa, MN, and Wyoming with 6.5 Grendel and 350 Legend. I’ve taken 2 white tails and a pronghorn. Theyre ultra convenient to walk around with and perfect for hunting. I think they’re only going to keep becoming more popular as Fudd mentality dies out after...

    350 Legend Thoughts?

    Vortex just put out a nice podcast on the 350 legend.

    350 Legend Thoughts?

    My experience is much the same with limited blood trails with our hunting group. Roughly a 15 deer test group.

    350 Legend Thoughts?

    Our hunting group in Iowa had extremely bad experiences with some 180gr browning rounds. The next year we all used mixed rounds and had differing success with several unrecovered deer and little amounts of blood. My conclusions were that 350 legend is a max 175 yard gun, lighter is best, and it...
