    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I'd most likely look at a Kimber Montana 6.5 Creedmor for a one and done rifle for everything I might hunt in the next 30 years. The local shops near me have plenty of quantity and variety in 6.5 Creedmor. Other cartridges that were once seen as very popular have fallen by the wayside, I went...

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Lever Action Hunters

    Here's my old man's pre '81 BLR .308 that I learned to deer hunt with, I love that rifle but man is it a tank compared to my carbon stocked Howa Mini 😅 One day when I inherit it, that suppressor is coming straight off as it bananced so much nicer bare barreled with a 1-4x20 scope

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    My harness has a handy pocket in the back which holds my phone and this knife for day hunts. When wearing the harness the knife sits there pretty good. If I was on a multiday hunt wearing a pack I'd slip the knife into a pocket on the pack.

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    A few dollars worth of Kydex and rivets combined with a Victorinox Paring knife, this ultralight set up will now always be riding in my bino harness

    Kids First Knife

    My 3yo nephew is fascinated by my Leatherman Wave, always borrowing it to try and pull apart/fix his toys. I've been trying to find a little kid friendly multitool that he could take where ever.

    6mm ARC Lightweight Backpacking Rifle Build

    I'm a little worried now as I wait for my Stockys to show up, once fitted I'll be giving it a very close look over to check the fit

    Howa VS Tikka

    My Howa .223 wasn't the smoothest when I got it, and rather than sitting there with sand paper I just got a heap of ammo, went to the range a few times and used it. It's pretty damn smooth now

    Howa Builds

    Hmm I have one of those Burris Timberline compacts sitting on a shelf, I might have to give it a go on my Mini as that looks great on there

    .22 Magnum for deer, moose or bear?

    I've tried it on a few goats and even neck shots are a hard no from me with the 30gr Vmax. Too much flesh damage without actually hitting the spine hard enough.
