    Mazda CX-7/CX-9

    My wife came into our marriage with a bright red 2wd 2016 CX-5. I have been actively trying to run the wheels off this car for 3 years. It hit 100k last night. I want to hate it but its stupid simple to work on and service. Its reliable, and gets 31+mpg. Insurance is next to nothing.

    .308 Elk Hunters...What's Your Favorite Factory Load?

    I am running the 178gr ELD-X or the 180gr Hornady Soft Point. My 20" +can 308 is giving me ~.75" groups at 200 yards consistently from a $400 Savage 110 Hog Hunter. They're darn near same point of impact/aim so I don't have to dial differently between the loads. Haven't killed anything with the...

    Williams Western Precision Sight - reticle w/ holdovers - Need Info

    Yes, the tipped 300gr Thors. They are pricey but the best deals I've found on them are on muzzle-loaders.com in the 50pk. I have used bore specific and the lightning with a slight preference for the bore specific.

    Williams Western Precision Sight - reticle w/ holdovers - Need Info

    range update- my range only goes to 100 yards (I'm in America) but I was able to use the fineness of these sights to get a few 3rd groups that were ~1.25" They are a huge step up from the factory sights. Will have to get out and test at longer distances.

    Williams Western Precision Sight - reticle w/ holdovers - Need Info

    I am interested in the same information for the same reason and the same setup with the difference being mine is a CVA Optima V2 and I am using 100gr Triple 7. Going to the range to test/sight in today except it only goes to 100yds

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    A little off the topic of outdoors but Toyota hasn't been the best as of late. I had a blind spot monitor sensor go out while I was going down the highway. Its under warranty so I took it in. They tried to tell me my truck was in an accident. I bought it new and its never been in a wreck, there...

    Your heavily used hunting rifle

    I love that line of rifle! I have an "heirloom" 511 Scoremaster that has seen tens of thousands of rounds. Its always been a great shooting, accurate rifle. They sell cheap nowadays so I have gotten two more should I ever get into the heirloom passing down stage. Saw your picture and instantly...

    .223 load development for varmint

    I would go 40-53 grains on the 1:12 twist. 223 is notoriously finicky on twist rates and bullet weights. I did quite a bit of research on powders, primers, bullets, bullet weights, etc with consideration given to my rifles twist rate. My 1:9 twist Savage 26" prairie dog/coyote/little critter...

    300 Win Mag recommendations… Thank you!!!

    I went Browning with my most recent 300WM. I really like the mag length- I can seat to 3.595" and still get reliable feeding. What I regret is getting a 26" barrel. By the time I screw my can on its almost 34.5" which is entirely too long for my liking. With glass, its about 11lbs which is more...

    Going to try this again, but much earlier in the process. Advice on a WY mule deer and pronghorn combo hunt.

    Theres plenty of pronghorn and mulies along 85 between Lusk and Newcastle... right between the lines on the highway.

    G20 loading

    I started loading for a G40 last year. I typically load moderate (8.3gr Power Pistol) 180gr plated for practice during the year and carry proper factory 200gr bear loads during hunting season and its on my hip. I have 150gr projectiles but have never gotten into them.
