    Warm water maceration & bleaching/whitening

    Hey guys. My son shot a small buck this year (his first deer) and I have been wanting to try maceration to clean the skull. I purchased the aquarium heater, skinned the head, removed the brains and eyes and have had it in the bucket for a week. Took it out today and it is getting close to done...

    I bought these rings for my scope and I don't have enough clearance so I'm going to have to go to the higher rings. These are brand new 30 mm rings for the Tikka integrated rail. The company I bought them from won't return them so I'm trying to sell here. $65 shipped to you - thanks

    Powerbelt bullets experience

    Hey guys. I know this is way out of season but I wanted to post this for future searches. At the recommendation of my local gun shop, I decided to try powerbelt 295 grain hollow point bullets this past season. My son shot a buck at 25 yards and it ran about 100 yards and died (double lung). The...

    CVA Kodiak Pro trigger adjustment

    Hey guys. I'm working on painting the stock of my muzzleloader so I have the barrel taken off the stock. Is there a way to adjust the trigger tension on these guns? It's got a really firm trigger pull - maybe this is just because of the type of action. I bought the gun probably around 2010. It...

    MBG dual trac vs Spot Hogg Triple stack

    Hey guys. I am upgrading some equipment this season and am looking at the dual trac and the triple stack. Any experiences with the two? Obviously one has 3 pins and the other 2. They both seem well made. I currently have a three pin ascent verdict but really want to switch to a vertical pin...

    Scope mounting - 7mm rem mag with Zeiss V4

    Hey guys. I bought a new rifle. It is a T3x superlite 7MM rem mag. I also got a Zeiss conquest V4 scope. I bought both items from Cabela's and they will mount the scope for me. My question is - should I trust them to do this for me or is this something I should do on my own? Obviously they do it...

    Need advice on a 7mm rifle and scope

    Hello. I am l going to buy a rifle and a scope from Cabela's (I hate Cabela's but I have a bunch of gift cards through a work promotion). I have pretty much settled on a Tikka T3X lite in 7 mm - most likely with a stainless barrel. My budget is $1,400-$1,500 for the gun and the scope. I have...

    Rifle option decisions

    Hey guys. I am planning to buy my first rifle within the next few months. I have mostly decided on a 7 mm rem mag because I plan on using this as my do all rifle. I have been looking at ammo availability and my local Scheels has quite a few options in 7mm so that should be fine. I was also...

    Help me pick a new bullet please!

    Hey guys. I have been using TC Shockwave 300 grain bullets the past 5-6 seasons. Last year I shot a doe - thankfully she went down in sight as the blood trail was very poor. Complete pass through shot at 20 yards - small entry hole and tiny exit hole. A few days ago my son shot a doe with my MZ...

    Muzzeloader muzzle velocity

    Hey guys. I am looking for input on muzzleloader muzzle velocity. I hunt with a 50 cal cva Kodiak pro and can't seem to find much information on this on the web (probably because there are so many load combinations). I have a Nikon 3x9 bdc scope so I have been using their spot on app to fine...

    Hey guys. I have been looking to purchase a tractor for putting in food plots. I don't know much about the used tractor market right now but am assuming the prices are high, similar to used vehicles at the moment - anyone have any insight on this? I am thinking I want something at least 35 horse...
