    Sig Cross aftermarket triggers

    Anyone heard any rumors about a trigger upgrade or maybe a spring kit for the Sig Cross? I friggin love this gun! Bought it for my daughter/kids. Even with the horrible trigger I can still get an inch out of it with a 1-6x scope and factory ammo. But it's tough going back and forth between my...

    Sub $1000 FFP tacticool scopes

    I really want to be an optics snob. But with the current economy it's tough! I bought my daughter an Sig Cross in Creed last fall. I slapped my Loopy 6 1-6 on it for her. The lower magnification made it new hunter proof as far as finding the deer in the scope. Also the size is very compact. I...

    Type S dies for dummies

    So I decided to be one of the cool kids and try a bushing die for the first time. I've been using standard dies for a long time. But now I know the S stands for [emoji90] like I expected. I've watched every YouTube movie and even found the owners manual online. I've since trashed about six...

    11.5 vs 12.5 "Recce"

    Well I impulse bought a Griffin Recce 5 suppressor. My old Daniel Defense 16" barrel is smoked. But Daniel said they'll replace the barrel for me. So I'm planning on asking for a shorter barrel then using my SBR lower. I don't really need a "CQB" gun as I've got two SBRs. I don't really want a...

    Slight upgrade from a Bighorn action

    I built my first rifle a few years ago on a Bighorn. But now I know a little more about the different options for actions. I like the Bighorn but hate the higher bolt throw. Also the bolt release is a pain. Small little quirks. But now I know I could have spent maybe $100 more for a an action...

    6.5 Creed small primers

    I was browsing YouTube and discovered Lapua has small rifle primer brass. I have about 2000k Federal match small rifle primers. And locally the small rifle primers seem to actually be available. But how do you do load development? Seems the load data I've seen is just for large rifle primers...

    West TX switch lug

    I was bored other day on YouTube and discovered the switch lug. Can someone explain the process of installing one? My barrel is a small remage on an Origin, can I go ahead and install it? Or do I need to wait until I burn up this barrel and order a barrel machined for the Switch? I see C6 has it...

    7 SAW

    Anyone shoot one of these? When I was 15 my folks put a hundo down on a M70 308. I busted my butt working to pay it off and buy a Loopy scope for it. So the gun has a lot of sentimental value. But the trigger and stock are trash. And I'm kinda over the 308. It's obviously a great round. Not...

    Suppressors and barrel contours

    Is there a minimum contour to support a titanium suppressor? I've got my grandpas German Mark V 270 Wby that's threaded with a brake. But I'd like to put my Thunderbeast on it. But the barrel is probably a light sporter. And it already has a tendency to string shots.

    Worst spike camp locations

    Any resident westies notice some really dumb spike camps this year? I mean like really dumb! I found two this year. One was in a sanctuary/bedding area. The other was along a drainage bottom below meadow that's a big elk hangout. The elk walk up and down the creek as a travel route. If you're...

    6.5 PRC elk loads

    Did some thread searches. Didn't quite find what I was looking for. The struggle stick isn't going so well. And with a new scope and suppressor on plan b this year it'd be kind of fun to shoot my first gun elk. I current have a bunch of black box Hornady. But I saw scheels has Nosler LRAB...

    New bow Stalker ACS longbow

    Been a crazy week! I'd placed an order on Memorial Day with South but that guy is super busy! And wasn't able to get my bow to me until last week! But the man was up at 0300 Friday before last spraying it before he went on a hunt. Anyways I've always been a longbow man. And I'd been curious...

    Kid's clothes

    It seems there's a huge lack in good technical clothing for kids. Sitka basically only has rain gear and a hoody. Kuiu about the same. Kryptek quit making kids clothes. I've got "a few" kids and the oldest is hunting this year. I'd like to get her some really good clothes that her younger...

    Thunderbeast attachments

    My first cans should be clearing ATF here soon. Got a Thunderbeast 7 for my long range rifle. What's the best way to attach this thing for repeatable accuracy? Something I can take off when it's in the case and put back on without worrying about the zero being off. They make a quick detach...

    Mounting arca to a factory Tikka

    Thinking about buying my kid a youth Tikka. I'd like to install a piece of arca on it so she can have the ease of shooting off a tripod. I checked YouTube but can see if this is possible or how to do it. Can I just use self tapping screws into the plastic or will a smith need to tap and drill...
