    Will RL 17 and 26 ever be available again?

    there's enough demand in europe for powder that it's not going to make it to our shelves. all the switzerland alliant powders are going to be very difficult to find. i'm actually surprised we're still seeing ADI powders like Varget making it here from down under. there's plenty of profit to be...

    Weather Station ideas?

    I'll second the Ambient Weather WS-2902. Have had it in my backyard 15 months now. No problems. Made the "mistake" to set it to update every five minutes instead of 1 or 2 so I don't get to see the instantaneous gust of wind ravaging my backyard, but batteries are still good after two winters...

    Cut barrel or Leave well-enough alone?

    damned if you do, damned if you dont. flip a coin. the two tikkas i sent off to get threaded came back as accurate or better. i'd hope if the shop is competent enough to thread a cold-hammer forged barrel, they can handle doing a proper crown.... good luck!

    April 8th Eclipse

    had friends get married in the mountains for the last one. 98% totality. they should have splurged on the extra 2%. it was pretty cool, but not 100% cool. that said, i'm too lazy to travel for this one. i did grab some glasses so i can walk outside and see the whopping 20% we're allowed up...

    Tikka Not Grouping??

    adjust the trigger down. all my tikkas have aftermarket trigger springs in them except my T3 tactical. they're almost too light for hunting depending on how you like to roll. but you can get the factory pull down pretty low. i was shooting a buddy's .308 roughtech this morning. i have the same...

    Happy Wheelgun Wednesday!

    he said wheelgun, not cannon! a kid at the range asked me if i wanted to fire his .460. sure i says. sit down at the bench, gun on rest, elbows on bench. pull the trigger, hit steel at 100 yards. "cool, nice gun, a bit much for me though. thanks" the next morning i'm staring at my arms...

    “Look!… right?” One hundred percent!

    yeah but people who say IRregardless should be beaten with a dictionary a hard bound oxford dictionary and if my wife gets caught up in that, tough, she should know better

    Should reloading inventory or a rokstock take priority?

    reloading components, especially powder and primers are going to become very difficult to find this year according to the ammo manufacturers we talked to at SHOT. even mid-sized manufacturers are worried about their ability to produce ammo. covid already made their prices skyrocket, like 3x and...

    10mm pistol hunting

    our Sig rep filled his doe tag on a whitetail at 120 yards with the P320 10mm with a red dot and a 124 gr Sig V-Crown. upon further questioning the tasty little critter was more fawn than doe but dead and tagged nonetheless.

    Help with Tikka T1x

    Is this happening with multiple types of ammo? I can't use winchester subsonics. 100% failure to extract. Everything else, aguila, federal, remington, no problem.
