I would never recommend 6.8 Western to someone that is not a gun guy. It’s too new and having teething issues. I love .270 stuff, but the only short mags I’d recommend to a non gun guy are 6.5 PRC and .300 WSM just because of ammo availability, variety, and staying power.
I wonder if a lot of people are also killing rams in hot weather and not handling them properly. I know a few Oklahoma hunters that say pronghorn tastes awful. Turns out they don’t know how to field dress an animal quickly. They shoot it in August but treat it like November whitetail and haul...
I’ve got a 60s era .300 Savage Model 99 that I use half the time when whitetail hunting. Haven’t gotten a good shot opportunity with it in my hands yet. The other half the time I’m carrying a more modern rifle with a suppressor because as of last year my kid has started spending part of each...
Had to trade in my RAV4 Hybrid because I knocked the wife up too many times. Loved that car. Good gas mileage, boringly reliable, great for urban snow or crappy country/forest roads. Never tried it in the roughest possible conditions in big mountains though.
Alternatively you can just put a low profile gas block on it upside down, the set screw should drive straight into the gas port. It’s not the lightest possible solution but it’s mechanically sound.
*now I see this was literally discussed on page 1. That’s what I get for jumping to the end of a...
Yeti and NRA getting into a pissing match is not enough evidence to write off Yeti as anti-2A.
Yeti has been marketing to hunters and sponsoring hunting media. I don’t think the political angle is the top reason to be upset about this.
That is my bare minimum plan for outdoor adventures. A hunt is only if I can make it make logistical sense and I’m aware it will be a stretch. But I couldn’t not ask the question, you know?
work is sending me to Tucson for a few weeks in September into October. I talked to someone from AZ game and fish to get an idea of what to look at, now I’m coming here for another point of view.
It looks like legally I can probably hunt black bear, mountain lion, and an assortment of small...
Nailed a little button buck out of a group of does. Good shooting, bad glassing. They were in an unexpected spot and I should’ve spent more time just looking at them. But he’s mine and he’s delicious.
My God, man. It’s brilliant. I’ve been idly thinking about what it would take to get a carbon fiber barrel on a 99 for a few months. And your stock mod is well done too!
Probably not. He says it’s gonna be basically the same podcast. No reason to do the whole change up and stay on the network, especially when his hiatus is gonna end within two weeks of the new host finally taking over his old podcast.
He can rep First Lite gear and have the same podcast...
