    Up in smoke

    So here is how our 2024 season got started yesterday, on our way back from a NC camping trip. Luckily no one was hurt, and I managed to eventually disconnect the truck. 100+ rounds of ammo were popping off at the back of the trailer while I was disconnecting it. I kept thinking “what a way to...

    ACCOUNT HACKED!

    Fellas, my account was possibly hacked last night. If you get ANYTHING from "me", please take it with a grain of salt. If it wasn't a meme, it probably is the hacker! Thanks to @Versydus for letting me know this morning so I could take action. The hacker reached out directly to @Versydus...

    For Sale/Trade: Alamo Precision Rifle 4 Port Stainless Steel Brake, for 7mm or smaller. This was on a Tikka 7mm, and it is tapered to fit the barrel. Works like a champ, but I had the barrel chopped and threaded for a suppressor with a different pattern.

    Canoe vs Kayaks for Fishing/General Use

    I'm looking at going out and buying a used canoe or kayaks. I have no idea what I'm doing. We had a long fiberglass canoe we repaired and used for bass fishing, but it was just destroyed in a windstorm. My son and I primarily used the canoe for fishing on lakes and the Shenandoah River...

    Rokslide special target ammo?

    are there any recommendations for reasonably priced 223 target ammo for out to 600 yards? Ammoseek has some Norma Golden Target 77SMK, but I don’t know if it shoots or not. There is also some Fiocchi Exacta Match, and some PMC for a decent price. I’d like to stick to heavier bullets, as my...

    Suppressor shoulder collar or not?

    I just dropped off three rifles to be chopped and threaded for my entry into suppressed shooting. The rifles are all Tikka T3x Lites in 223, 6.5, and 7 REM Mag. Based on where he is chopping them, between 18-20”, he says there is not enough shoulder to support a 5/8 thread without a “collar”. He...

    Options for 243 with slow twist?

    I’ve got an OG Tikka T3 SS in 243. I’ve never had it group well. My other rifles have been fine, but this one, the oldest one… just drives me crazy. I’ve tried a number of factory ammo options and never had success. I gave up on it for several years, but lately I’ve been troubleshooting and...

    Rokslide Special 223 recipe

    Gents, I just picked up a T3x SS in 223 1:8 for practice and predator hunting. I have a buddy who has a reloading set up, and I was going to try and learn a bit before I invest in the gear. Finding 77TMK ammunition is tough, and expensive. The whole point is to be able to shoot for cheaper than...

    Rental trucks have hitch receivers?

    I’ve got a Ram 1500 reserved through Avis for a hunt. I need to tow a SXS trailer during the hunt and I’m wondering if rental trucks have hitch receivers or not. I know that I am not allowed to tow with a rental… I would think all production 1/2 tons have receivers, but it wouldn’t surprise me...

    I need a late season pant for November hunts this year. Comparisons and recommendations between these two? I typically wear 32 waist (runs a little big on me) and a 32-33 inseam.

    Repairing sleeping pad seams

    I’ve got two BA sleeping pads that are pretty old, but in good shape. I took them out to use them, but unfortunately the seam went bad on one of them. There’s about a 1/4” part of the seam that has come apart. A patch won’t work, obviously. Any ideas before I get crazy with the glue?
