    I've been using a mavic pro for the last 7 years. I've been recently informed I can no longer use it on or near government installations and sensitive private infrastructure. That leaves me looking for new options that have greater security. What option are out there that you've been using...

    Bartlein break in rounds

    How many rounds did your bartlein take to get it up to speed? I have a 6.5 PRC that's about as fast as my factory 6.5 CM but I only have a dozen rounds through it. There are a lot of variables but I'm expecting to at least see another 100-150 fps. I just hope I can get there sooner than...

    Hunting near gas/wind farms

    With the proliferation of wind farms on public lands it stands to reason there might be some hunting impacts. Most states have a stand off distance from occupied structures, which those might fit in that category depending on the state. Have you seen any areas closed to hunting around wind...

    Spotting scope questions (higher end)

    I'm looking for some advice on a spotting scope that will suit my needs. I have a difficult time staying behind high power binos so I've sold most of them and opt for the spotting scope for distances of 1000 yd plus. I am not counting tines but rather identifying animals bedded in shaded areas...

    Useable NF reticle for hunting

    What is the most useable Night Force reticle for hunting in FFP? I'm on the fence of going back to SFP but really have no experience with NF reticles. From looking online it appears their MOA reticles are more gear toward hunting than the MRAD. What's your opinion?

    Carbon vs cerakote for weatherproofing bbl?

    I'm looking to pick up a carbon barrel for the thicker profile, less weight and larger muzzle thread (for suppressor). All other marketing hype aside, does carbon fiber keep your stainless/CM bbl from rusting underneath? I hunt in the rain and snow and it has always bothered me when I take a...

    Who's had a bad custom barrel?

    I'm not talking about the chamber but the actual barrel. Have you had issues with the rifling or anything else past the throat? The reason I ask is I've had strange pressure issues with low velocities and the chamber checks out. Head space looks good, no oils left on brass or in chamber...

    For those of you carrying bigger binos, what are you using? I've always used 8x-10x on chest harnesses and now have some 15x56 b5 that I would like to have with me.
