    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    How’s that Tikka bluing holding up corrosion wise?

    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    While I can understand building a Tikka style aftermarket trigger for custom actions- what would the point in developing an American version of a Tikka action be outside of wanting to buy American? And I don’t mean that in a negative way, I’m genuinely curious. Especially given the cost...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    For folks who have been on carnivore for a while and lift/run - how do you find you’ve adapted to the diet? Obviously it takes some time to get the metabolic machinery to be able to perform at the same level as with carbs, especially with anaerobic activity or heavy lifting. That said, do you...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    While I can only really speak for myself - I don’t think it would be uncommon if more understood how rapidly synthetics lose loft, how useless goretex boots are long term, how easily hardshell goretex can be compromised, the lifespan of DWR on soft shells etc.. I spent a lot of money on gear...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Since we’re on the topic of packs….what are the issues you’ve found with the MR (metcalf/Beartooth) or HPG equivalents? Also, thanks for putting this together. It’s obviously not a 5 minute ordeal to present everything at the level of detail you have.

    Painless load development (mine)

    Loaded my first rounds and shot them today. I started with a 77gr TMK and some Hornady brass, then worked my way up from 25gr of lever to 25.5gr to 26gr - all loaded at 2.26 COAL. Almost everything went well and it shot just as well as my factory 73gr ELDM’s. I was sitting at about 2780 fps with...

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    I don’t know. How often do you check zero or rezero it? What’s the average range you killed them at? Did you kill these out of a stand primarily? Or while backpack hunting? Maybe you killed all 100 animals with it while backpacking and have dropped the rifle multiple times. If so, good for you...

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    While I can appreciate the sentiment….why would you continue buying a product that fails at the role it’s intended to be used for? I can understand if you don’t you don’t have the information and buy whatever your grandfather would use or what a gun magazine “review” recommended - I’ve been...

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    Hahah. Ok, we’re done here. I’m not wasting my time any longer. Enjoy your LHT’s and Mark 5’s. I’m glad they’ve worked out for you

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    While I respect him for what he does, Ilya concerns himself with focusing on comparing optical clarity from his deck. He is not someone who is hammering out miles every season and actually using these scopes in different conditions and environments. The idea that every scope is the same if...

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    Alright, I’m probably just beating my head against a wall but….. 1. even if there was a measurable degradation of control repeatability over time with the control rifle (which there isn’t) the amount of failures would generally be consistent or abrupt in one direction and easily verified by the...

    RokStok

    My opinion is not nearly as grounded in experience as Form’s and I likely don’t have the sample size to compare. That said, I had two, one of which was my first .223 and another my first big game rifle in .270 Win. My family has sworn by Browning and Leupold since I was a kid so that’s what I...

    RokStok

    Didn’t realize I could…though I do recall something being mentioned about that earlier on. Realistically though I should probably just keep my CTR’s in Bravo’s for the time being and pony up for a Stainless lite in the Rokstock. Makes more sense to have stainless barrel if I’m never going to...

    RokStok

    For guys looking to drop a CTR in one of these…which bottom metal do you plan on going with? I may just wait to see if a CTR or AICS compatible version comes out before ordering one

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    Pack separation is always a possibility, particularly in steep country if you take it off to air out or take a load off. I just know I’d never want to be in a situation where I couldn’t access bare minimum survival gear such as a fire starter, knife, etc on my person at all times...

    First ROK Stock Poll

    Yup, I’m an idiot.

    First ROK Stock Poll

    that said, scalloped is nice if you want to shoot a field match with your hunting gun with bipod. It makes sense to have it on a modern hunting rifle if there are no other drawbacks.

    First ROK Stock Poll

    Well yes and no. Form still needs to be leading the way on this almost entirely IMO. I want his version of a perfect hunting stock, because I don’t know what I don’t know and so far everything I’ve implemented per his advice has been gold.

    6.5 Creedmoor Hornady 140 ELDM for Bull Elk

    I started shooting 140 ELDM’s out of my Tikka and have killed 3 bulls now in the last couple of years, as well as multiple deer. Furthest shot was 505yds, with the next two at 420 and 370 respectively. The furthest shot in particular was a one shot deal, while the others I shot until it wasn’t...
