    Kimber firing pin spring

    I love my Kimber M84s, I truly do. But it's seems they've created a nice little side gig selling replacement firing pin springs to replace what was, obviously, a design flaw. At $7.50 apiece, the price is not killer, but they should replace them for free. I replaced one on a Montana .257 Robts...

    7-08 Alberta moose

    I'm working up loads for an Alberta moose hunt this October. I already have a very accurate load for 139 Interlocks at 2850 fps, and 140 TTSXs at 2920, but looking hard at Hammer 132 HHTs. So far, I'm at 3100 fps with no signs of pressure. I'm thinking I'll continue looking for pressure in 1/2...

    Mulies near Wheatland

    Would anyone be able to recommend an outfitter near Wheatland, Wy. The outfitter I've been using since 2019 has slipped a few notches since I first started hunting with him and I think it's time to look for a better situation. If you have any personal experiences or suggestions, please feel free...

    Spotting scope objective lens protection

    I'm a big believer in filter lenses as (fairly) cheap protection for the objective lens on my spotters. I have an X4 on my little Kowa 554 and it does a very good job. I just acquired a new Kowa TSN-884, and need to get a sacrificial lens for it, as well. My question is what lens are others...

    Wrap for spotting scopes

    Has anyone used Gear Aid Camo Form nonadhesive camo tape, or something similar, to wrap and protect their spotter? I have a Kowa TSN-774 inbound and I'm looking for a way to protect it from light abuse and dirt. I have the Kowa stay-on cover on my TSN-554, but I'm not too crazy about it. I'll...

    Frankford Arsenal Pile Driver bullet puller

    Anybody have any experience and opinions on this tool? It's a bit late for me to be asking this, since I already ordered one. I couldn't find my old kinetic hammer type puller, so was about to order 2 different Grip-N-Pulls to handle all the calibers that I reload for. Then I came across this...

    Anticosti Island Outfitters

    Well, since I got skunked for my western tags this year, I thought I might give an Anticosti deer hunt a try. It's something I've thought about since the mid '70s, but never got around to doing. Does anyone have any personal experiences and recommendations for an outfitter there. I'm looking to...

    NM Oryx outfitter recommendations?

    I'm looking at the possibility of doing a NM guided (off range) Oryx hunt for '23 or '24. If anyone has personal experience with an outfitter that they would recommend I'd love to hear from you. Likewise, outfitters to steer clear of due to bad personal experiences, would also be appreciated...

    CFE 223 for 257 Roberts

    I've been loading CFE 223 and 80 TTSXs for my 257 Roberts Montana and getting very good velocity and accuracy. Now I'd like to try it with 100 TTSXs, but can't seem to find any load data. Anybody using this combo? I'm basically looking for a safe starting point that I can work up from, to...

    JACO Outfitters out of NM

    Anybody have any experience with this outfitter, good or bad. I'm looking to do a private land mule deer rifle hunt in NM this fall. I have no knowledge of NM's draw system, but if I understand correctly, I believe this outfitter can get private land tags. Other outfitter suggestions would also...

    Have Ontario Whitetail numbers recovered yet?

    When I was researching a whitetail hunt there 4 years ago, a few Ontario residents, and even some local outfitters, advised me to save my money and book elsewhere for a few years until the herds rebounded some. I'm wondering if 4 years was enough to increase the herd back to previous levels, or...

    New Mexico/Arizona Deer Outfitters

    I've decided to switch things up a bit this year. Instead of my annual Wyoming Muley trip, I've begun exploring the possibility of a New Mexico or Arizona hunt. At my age, I've given up on the DYI approach a few years now, in favor of a few amenities like a nice bed and a hot shower. Though, I...

    MagnetoSpeed Chronos

    I'm looking to purchase my first chronograph and have been giving the Sport model a look at $179. From the videos and reviews that I've seen so far, they seem like a straight forward, accurate and convenient unit to set up and use, even in shit weather. Does anyone here have any experience with...

    WTB RCBS Reloading Equipment

    Looking to get back into reloading and searching for vintage RCBS equipment... pre Chinese crap. For now, specifically looking for a Rock Chucker press, an Ohaus 10-10 scale, powder measure and case trimmer. A bundle would be great, though a piece at a time works also. Thanks.

    Sometimes My Montana Doesn't Go Bang

    I posted this in another forum. Thought I would ask here also. Any advice to remedy light strikes on a Kimber Montana 84M? I understand this is a common problem and that Kimber has a longer/stronger firing pin replacement spring. Anybody know if they charge for these or send them out gratis to...

    Rebore/chamber a Ruger 77 RL from 243 Win to 260 Rem

    Anyone have any recommendations for a smith that could do this for me? I've posted this on other forums and got a few leads, but most of those I've contacted had a very cavalier attitude and didn't seem interested in doing the job as I want it. It's mostly been, " no, not what you want. I'll do...

    Kowa Genny 8x33

    I have Kowa 10.5x44s and a 554 spotter for hunting the open spaces of the western states and couldn't ask for better performing glass. I'm considering the purchase of a pair of Genesis 8x33s for the thick whitetail woods back east. I'm pretty certain that they'll excel just as the other Kowas...
