    Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed, 7 PRC Field Evaluation

    Following this. I've always liked the X-bolt. Speaking of the old Duratouch coating, I've had two guns with it. An A5 Stalker and an X-bolt Stainless Stalker. Y'all have to admit, it's super nice when it's new! But yeah, Browning had to replace my A5 stock.

    M70 RokStok

    I've been waiting for my first RokStock to arrive prior to asking this question. But yes, unless I don't like the stock I'm going to need a nice walnut version for my ultimate 6CM build.

    Finances for addicts

    Another good book recommendation is Millionaire Teacher. It's become one my staples for a graduation present. I wish I had read it when I was 18. I'm grateful I read it in my early 30s. I too use Vanguard for Roth IRA and post tax brokerage account. The guy's taking out home equity to fund...

    Exo K2 or Something New

    I still think my k2 5500 is the best bag/frame combo ever released.

    4 Vane vs. 3 Vane

    Nope. I'm not a good enough shot to tell the difference. I choose time savings and simplicity.

    Wyoming Random Draw Is No More?

    While mathematically a poor choice, the random non-resident tag(s), the dream of living some of my retirement years in Wyoming, and the fact that I could afford the preference point kept me in the game. Taking away the first and scratching at the third justification, I just don't know if I will...

    NL 10 vs EL 12 if you had to choose one

    It's fun to overthink these things and I love good glass and plan to collect them all. But 10x42s and a high quality 65 mm spotter are hard to beat for a western hunting system. There's a reason that's why I started there. 10 years ago for my eyes this was the SLC and ATX. The NLs likely beat...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    I linked the rules above. Which why I continue to buy points and essentially will always have a "wasted" year. Which is why I wish the 25% could go to anyone. Not just zero pointers.

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    My understanding is if apply with 0 points, I cannot buy a preference point during the points only period. Is this incorrect? I drew last year (2023) with 2 points. So the options seem to be: 2024: Don't apply. Buy a point later in the year. (No chance to hunt) 2025: Apply and buy point (2...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    I mentioned on RokSlide recently that despite the complexity of Montana's draw system , I think it's the best in the west. I do wish they'd make one change. I wish the 25% of tags set aside for zero point holders was set aside for "any other" point holders. Or completely random. That way us...

    April 8th Eclipse

    Today was my second total eclipse and I got to spend this one at home with my family. Simply an awesome experience. Hearing old men jump up excited during totality along with my 9 year old was so great.

    MEAT your maker products

    I bought their 16" External Vacuum Sealer during the black Friday sale. It was the least expensive sealer that I could find with an internal cooling fan. I'm happy so far. Would buy from them again.

    Montana and this math intensive pref point system for the combo elk tag - Ramblin'

    I play the application game all over the west. I cringe every time I have a new guy ask me about Montana. It takes the longest to explain, but it is very likely the best system going.

    How do you carry bow elk hunting CO? Bow Hitch worth it?

    Same. Something similar to this. It works well enough for short hikes where I stabilize the bow with my left hand. For long hikes I strap the bow to my pack. When actively hunting it's in my hand. For everything in-between I really like the belt hook.

    April 8th Eclipse

    Not saying you naysayers are, but a lot of folks around here are confused about "just another eclipse" versus the first total solar eclipse in Texas since 1878. They think they have seen one before because of certain dimming events like last October's annular or other partial eclipse's. I get...
