    Experience with the Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 4.5-27?

    Didn't get too many responses on LRH, so figure I'll try here as well. Currently awaiting the arrival of a .300 wm Havak PH2 that was too good a deal to pass up, and while my initial thought was to save a little and repurpose an older 6-24x50 gen 1 Viper PST that I have in the safe, it's not a...

    Bighorn Origin Suitability for 300WM

    Had originally intended to pick up a Kelbly Atlas Tac or Defiance Tenacity for a future .300 win mag BDL build (both offer wyatt's mag box cuts from the factory), but I've stumbled across a long action mag face Origin for a very agreeable price. Find myself tempted by saving some, both on the...

    Steel/alloy toe boots

    A little sidetrack from the usual variety of boots discussed here, but has anyone had some safety toe boots they've had good results with? Currently in a pair of 8" Danner Vicious NMTs, and while they fit me like a glove (like damn near everything else of theirs I've tried), the thick ceramic...

    Hands-on experience with the .480 Ruger?

    I've always had a soft spot for big bore revolvers, and spent a fair amount of time growing up loading for and shooting my dad's Dan Wesson .44, but unless you count the smith 625 I shot in USPSA revolver class in my 20s, I've somehow never gotten around to adding a large wheelgun to the...

    .45 Colt for hunting backup carry

    Got lucky at an RMEF banquet and won a Taurus Judge, and while it wouldn't have been my first choice in handgun otherwise, I think it will be a fun toy and something for snake duty in Uvalde. Also got me thinking that loaded up with some .45C, it might be a serviceable sidearm to take while...

    Picking a Cerakote color

    Between not being a big fan of the stainless look and wanting a little more corrosion protection from our wonderful Gulf Coast atmosphere, I'm going to have my T3x SL barreled action cerakoated when I get it threaded. Before I go coat yet another rifle with my usual boring graphite black, what...

    Load Bench Storage

    We're a couple months away from moving into a different house, and I'm going to use this as an opportunity to start fresh with a new workbench and better organization and storage for bullets/dies/powder and all the paraphernalia that goes with. I haven't seen too many other people's setups in...

    Another Scope Advice Thread

    Between a timely sale and some gift cards burning a hole in my pocket, I find myself the owner of a T3x Superlite in 6.5 CM and in the hunt for a scope for it. Use will be for aoudad, whitetail and hogs out to ~600 yards, and trying to keep the scope price under the $1k mark. Not an ounce...

    Half-day Pack Recommendations

    Much as I'd love to add a proper frame pack to my gear closet at the moment, what I really need to replace is the backpack I've been using for archery elk hunting (usually out of treestands) in Colorado. It's typically a early-ish season guided hunt, so I'm not toting a ton of stuff around...

    Checking in from SE Texas

    Well, actually offshore off the coast of Israel for work right now, but we're down on weather, so I got some time to kill! Longtime interest in hunting and long range shooting/reloading, and recently got the chance to do some bowhunting for elk in Colorado. Been lurking here for a while...
