    High quality Cerakote applicator in Northwest/West?

    High quality Cerakote applicator in Northwest/West?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a professional cerakote applicator in the Northwest? I want a single color on a barreled action, but have enough into the project I’d like to get a factory looking finish, not a barnyard rattlecan zombie battleworn finish (done in cerakote)…. There are only two...

    375 Ruger Brass on Dvor

    I've not ordered from them, but am a "member"... Is there any question to whether "they come through"? Only ask because they want an awful lot to ship to AK... Cheers

    Scopes with Long Mounting Lengths (for non rail mounting)

    What are some of the longer "mounting length" scopes out there? These days, most of the objective ends seem to start tapering very early. This doesn't compliment no-base rings well on a long action. I'm looking for something for a Weatherby MkV with Talley lightweight (fixed rings). I have a...

    Trump - shrinking bears ear and escalante

    I'm obviously not from Utah, but the "Special Federal Lands" in Alaska (The orange is federal........) are my least favorite places for recreation. While unlikely in Utah, federally directed harassment of hunters with a helicopter is not remotely in the interest of sportsmen. (A personal...

    Primus Easy-light lantern? you like it?

    I like mine very much! The double tie mantles are a PITA and hard (read: impossible) to find in Alaska. Not heavy at all and uses fuel I already "stock". The 16 oz tall boys will handily last you 3 days and 2 long Alaskan nights. (thats starting it up in the am for breakfast, etc and on again...

    Help me revive my dad's .270! Reloading ??'s

    I haven't tried the .277 ELD-X out yet (because I haven't stumbled across any up here...) but am curious to find out how they stabilize in a 1-10 twist. Report back when you get there! With regard to the 145 grain load, a bullet with a similar long bearing surface (150 Berger, Etc) would be a...

    6.5CM vs .308Win

    With regard to the 6.5 Creedmoor zealots, it'd be fun to know how many folks out there were 260/6.5 Swede/6.5 etc fans before the creedmoor was new/cool. 6.5 Creedmoor is the new 300 win mag. :)

    Pictures of loaded pack animals

    Welcome (late) to the forum! Not many folks in Alaska hunting with horses anymore. We've got one mule and 2.25 humans so it's still a walking game for us. Hopefully we'll add to the herd soon. :)

    Pin gap with 200gr points?

    That almost exactly what I had intended to do, but after some good advice on here and a bit of trial and error, the 5 yard pin gaps proved to be a bit cluttered for me. With 30/35 being inside the "ring", I doubt I'd be ranging, making the 5 yard increment sorta worthless. For my fixed 5 pin...

    6.5CM vs .308Win

    Sounds like a lot of folks are getting spooled up about this one! I love how RELATIVELY affordable it is to shoot a 6.5C. Historically I didn't shoot many rifles that didn't burn north of 65 grains of powder and all the way up to 100+ grains for RUMs and the Accumarks. After that, it takes...

    Hunting Alaska as a Resident?

    I din't mention it before, but don't plan on enjoying whitetail like deer hunting up here. I'm always floored driving across parts of the contiguous United States and seeing wildlife every hour. I drive across most of the kenai peninsula each week, almost 200 miles each way; if you keep your...

    Burroes

    My dad keeps threatening Yaks for hunting in Alaska. I think a bactrian camel* or two would suit me and my packing habits just fine. :) *said to be capable of packing up to 1000 pounds

    Pin gap with 200gr points?

    I do 200s in front of 75 grain brass on my 70 lb Halon 32 for a total arrow weight of just a bit over 600 grains. Right now at 65-66 lbs, I have a 5 pin set at 20, 30, 40, 50 and the 5th pin is buried on the bottom of the sight out of the way. I had to move my 20 to the top of the housing and...

    Hunting Alaska as a Resident?

    I will throw my thoughts on top of the rest with only a skim over them. Having spent my entire life in Alaska, I have heard all sorts of comments about how incredible it must be to live, and subsequently, hunt in Alaska. Moreover, while there is truly no place like Alaska, it may not be quite as...

    Fixed 4x scope rifle and application

    Hard to go wrong with a fixed 4 if the reticle is thin enough. My brother took his first sheep with a 2.5x weaver at 400+; hard to say a guy NEEDS more. A little Model 7 would be nice. :cool: Keep us posted!
