    Small form factor tourniquet

    SOF-T wide. The older model can be setup much flatter due to its design. I was an EMT for awhile and taken many a TCCC courses and the SOF-T wide was the best for thighs and flat pocket carry. CAT is good but can break and is a little bulky. The Sheriff’s Office I work for and all the local EMS...

    New Tikka Rifles Shot Show 2024

    I can’t say I’d run out and buy one for $1200, but I am glad they are even offering an iron sight op. Glad they shortened up the barrel and threaded at least for a .223 and .308 option. Enlarged bolt knob is kinda nice I suppose. Fluted bolt is not as cool for the debris factor, but I know...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I have. Accuracy was very good! 10 shot group under 1.5 MOA. I believe it was 26.0 grains seated to 2.26 coal, LC brass, CCI400, but I will need to check my notes again to confirm the charge amount. I did not get to check velocity.

    Rokslide Special 223 recipe

    Most reloads with recycled LC brass I am loading for about $.65 per if I’m not buying brass. If I am it’s Starline brass and the total loaded is $.90 per. For powders, I would get 8208XBR, AA2520, Power Pro 2000MR, Lever Revolution, Varget, or TAC. There are of course others but I generally...

    downsizing bullet to reduce recoil

    I downloaded some 125 nosler BT and SST for my kiddo to shoot. Got speed down to 2,300 fps. But in all honesty, going with a bolt .223 and shooting was significantly better for so many reasons. There are some good recoil calculators out there that help give an idea of the reduction from just...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Tikka compact T3X in .223 is the way. Usually around $750. Get it threaded for $100-$150. You can get a stainless tikka and get it cut and pick up a compact stock but it will be more money. I’m super curious about those ELD-X. Seems like it won’t work in factory tikka mags or AR mags...

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    My hope is that they have a stable supply of 3-9 HD and 1-6 HD. I’ll deal with the turrets and the weight for a stable enough supply chain. Zero stop makes me happy.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    SWFA updated their website format and layout a bit. Doesn’t seem like one can backorder the 3-9 HD right now. The main banner says, “Our passion is optics. Our focus is you. Our journey is new. More to come in 2024.” Hopefully that includes the same reliability hallmark, more availability, and...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I also got the rokslide special and my kiddo (and I) love it. He’s 6 yo and can hit the 8” gong consistently at 200 yds (from the bench). It’s just he right amount of kick for both of us to develop good fundamentals. The 6x SWFA is perfect for it as well. Will report if I can get a blacktail...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    25.0 gr AA2520 and 77gr TMK with standard SRP in LC brass loaded to 2.260 consistently shoots at 1” groups for 10 shots with my tikka. Followed the load development thread Form started. Worked great.

    Painless load development (mine)

    @Formidilosus Is there a good way to true velocity with only 200 yard ranges?

    Anyone carry their rifle in hand while hunting in the mountains?

    I rigged my own gun bearer using an old USGI Molle Canteen pouch on my pack wait belt and nylon strap/buckle. It rides in a European carry style muzzle up and belly up. It sits in that setup about 70% of the time. When in thick brush hunting blacktail almost always need gun in hand.
