    4473 fun / dealer question

    So my two adult kids (18/20) who both have texas concealed handgun licenses went to buy their own rifles for this year's hunts. They both had purchased semi shotguns the prior year no issue. Now they go to purchase bolt guns and with this enhanced background stuff they got given three rounds...

    Hearing protection for kids

    I have run peltors for active cancelation for a long time when my kids were night hunting pigs. Muffs in general are a pain in the butt Especially when trying to get a kid to put them on when they need them. Switched to cans and never looked back.

    Suppressor mounts

    Running 419. Not sure if it will save any where on baffles but if I screw up and cross thread I either goof the mount or adapter. Not the can or barrel. Only reason I use their stuff is that it never comes loose. Super well made and I can move stuff from rifle to rifle easily.

    Flying with guns and locks

    I fly pretty much every month with a firearm and North park and ziegler spot on. I've had to show them the regs at the american airlines desk in salt lake city. I have seen them check the case to make sure it doesn't have any wiggle room to get into it in denver. Only other thing to add is to...

    Is the legendary Region G dead?

    So I live in the area and there is a ton of forage but not many deer around to get on it. I normally have 10-15 deer behind my place and I have only seen two this year so far. It will recover but it will take some time. The ones that are on the landscape will be in good shape going into...

    Guidance on My Family’s Long Term Move

    Alpine/afton area is priced like Boulder or SW side of longmont. You have to go to idaho falls to get anything more serious than simple casts. Have to know someone to get into a specialist in Jackson. Internet access is poor depending on your needs.

    Heat pump vs propane

    So I am in star valley and have a mini split heat pump setup. Summer it is great and it does OK in winter down to about 10 degrees then will cut out. You have to get special ones to do deal with real cold....unless you have a ground loop based one then it is pulling / dumping heat into a chunk...

    Tikka Users: Have you noticed any difference in accuracy between the fluted SuperLite barrels and the regular T3x Lite barrels?

    No difference between old t3x lite in 30-06 and new fluted 7mm rem. Both running fist size groups consistently at 500 with accubond ( 180 and 160 respectively ).

    Seoul Vacation

    Just say no to cuddle fish jerky. I know it is common from a dietary perspective over there but I literally use those things as bait when bottom fishing in the gulf! That's been the only thing I have not liked from a dietary perspective over there. Beware of / respect the soju!

    Seoul Vacation

    Been there repeatedly for work. Prefer Korea over Japan. Nice thing is that most males over about age of 30 have some basic understanding of English. Assuming leftover of compulsory military experience with us troops. Just feels different. Friendlier. It's a good place to go for sure.
