    Anybody Ditch the Bubble Level?

    I didn’t realize how badly I needed one until a buddy told me to level my rifle and send it down range a few times. Before every shot he’d pop a bubble on my scope, I was way out of plumb every single time. All of my rifles now have spuhr mounts with bubble levels built in, and I’ve trained...

    Tikka 7mm Rem Mag 20” build

    Have they?Why would they drop 7RM? That actually surprises me given the following of the cartridge. I know that eventually 7PRC is going to own the 7mm market, but dang. It ain’t there yet. Or I didn’t think it was.

    Tikka 7mm Rem Mag 20” build

    It was! Since then, that action and barrel have been pulled from the stock and put into a chassis. It got even better. My brother borrowed it a week ago and shot a nice 32” aoudad with it. Newest project is a 6.5PRC, but 7RM will always be my first true love 😂

    Let's see some NRL hunter rifles

    This will be my first year shooting NRL. I built a 6.5PRC and will be sending factory 147ELDM. I will not be competing, just using it as practice this year. Because of that, I plan on using the same rifle, ammo, optics, and tripod that I actually hunt with. Should be fun!

    My Rifle Journey..

    I started to sell pieces of gear and a few other rifles to help fund the build and started ordering parts. It took me about 2 months to get everything in. Here’s the finished product! A few lessons I learned: Don’t jump into a custom rifle immediately, even if you have the funds for it. Pick...

    My Rifle Journey..

    I don’t know what it’s worth, but figured I’d put this out there. I believe @mtwarden nailed it with his post… and this isn’t going to be nearly as informative - but I figure for the newer hunters out there kicking around rifle ideas, maybe this will help. (edit) SIKE… it was @huntnful I...

    7 Day Spring Bear Hunt Pack List

    I did, yessir. It’s been a while since I weighed though, I probably should go back through my backpack this spring. I also just got a new scale. We got one bear between us, but it was SUPER hard hunting. We were there in May, I think we were late. I’m curious how it will play out this year...

    7 Day Spring Bear Hunt Pack List

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. Don't get too wrapped up in the pricing, I think most people are in the same boat as me and rarely pay full retail. I took pricing directly from the website so people can have something to reference if they are building a kit up - but most of the stuff I bought at...

    7 Day Spring Bear Hunt Pack List

    Good info, thank you! I need to check out the new pump, that thing is too handy to leave behind. I agree with you on the batteries, but I get anxiety worrying about managing power back there so I just deal with it. The chair is for glassing more than anything else. I have pretty rough back...

    7 Day Spring Bear Hunt Pack List

    I usually either take two batteries or a battery and a solar panel. It just depends. I don't really have any other excuse than I haaaate worrying about managing power in the back country.

    7 Day Spring Bear Hunt Pack List

    Hey guys, I'd appreciate any feedback y'all have. I definitely pack some comfort items, but welcome your feedback anyway. The rifle is far, far heavier than I would like but i've made it work. I do have parts on order for a 6.5PRC in a HNT26 chassis, I should have it completed in time to make...

    Best Rifle rack/holder for a UTV?

    I can confirm that all the jarring and rattling around on a SXS is what caused my Vortex scope to lose zero - twice. The first time I figured that was the case but thought maybe I bumped it somehow. Vortex took care of me of course, and I remounted and zero'd the rifle. Into the rifle holder on...

    We were in the Frank last year and hunted our asses off, but only saw and killed one bear between the four of us. We are going back to ID this year and are thinking of a different strategy. Do you mind reaching out to me and talking through your hunt a little deeper? PM here or text at 325-665-4460

    Quad vs Side by Side

    Couple of pictures of my rig. Should be noted - I abuse mine… the opposite of a garage queen, and it’s held up well. I’ve replaced a couple of axles, but otherwise it has handled everything. Just keep up with preventative maintenance and power wash it after heavy use. Mud, ice, and the like will...

    Quad vs Side by Side

    Agree with all the above, it really depends on your needs and how you intend to use it. I’m in West Texas, we use SXS’s on private ranches and leases 100% of the time. I mix in a couple of western hunts every year, and it varies on what I’m after/state I’m hunting in/access whether I drag it...

    What’s his number, and how many bottles of bourbon do I need to send his way?
