Not an expert, but I've done an axis buck skull and a billy goat skull in the last year. Billy goat skull was brutal to get the base of the skull clean. IMO, extra simmer time plus pressure washer is a combo made to lose. If it were me and I really wanted to be careful, I'd simmer (not boil) for...
Forgot about this thread, I actually wound up with an Aziak tripod and Tricer head, haven’t shot off it yet though, as the little Spartan Lite bipod setup with the magnetic attachment has been a nice little piece of shooting kit. I also haven’t found myself needing a tripod for any axis or goat...
Also, you made my point — yes rates would have to come down eventually, but the big question was how soon. And no one expected this massive pivot right now, less than two weeks after Powell was basically 180 out on rate hikes and cuts, and those two weeks were filled with economic data that did...
Enter the hindsight quarterbacks.
No. Not kidding. You can read the headlines yesterday and today that say exactly what I said. Not to mention the insane reaction in all indexes, precious metals, dollar index, and the bond market due to, you guessed it, totally unexpected news from the Fed.
No one saw this Fed pivot coming yesterday, Wall Street was legitimately shocked by it. Anyone who says they expected it is lying, hindsight is always 20/20. If the Fed hadn't completely, 100% capitulated to election year politics this week the base case for everyone -- all hedge funds, major...
Disclaimer: Not a knife guy. I have a data point of 1 to share. Buddy and I both shot goats this past weekend, and he had noticeable blade dulling on his Spyderco knife midway through field dressing his. My Benchmade (forget the model, but it's a newer one with the S90V steel) was still cutting...
Care to share your load and MV? Been reading the last couple days and I’m leaning towards either sticking with the 140 ELDM or switching to the 130 TMK.
Stock 24" barrel, but that seems to be the norm on the Tikkas 6.5 CM from what I've read. Maybe you got a unicorn, yours seems to be a lot faster than most.
Been shooting factory 140 ELDM loads out of my Tikka. MV with this factory load is about 2650 measured by Magnetospeed.
A buddy is going to help me work up a load to try to get more MV and accuracy. So if you weren't wedded to a factory load all of a sudden and had a clean slate, and had your...
I hunted Pulama one day as well on top of the two days of the state hunt, that’s where I shot the one buck I got on the trip. I also saw a decent amount of deer in groups of 1-3 down there.
All the locals I talked to there in Lanai lament the days gone by, but idk for sure. Maui is for sure...
Yeah I think it’s down. I saw the harvest numbers the week I was there for the state hunt this April, and it wasn’t much considering the number of hunters.
I’m almost 100% in MM fund. Been watching the market frustrate everyone for the last few months, and it’s still frustrating to me too, but I’m just sitting on the sidelines making about 5%. It seems like the market simply has to crash soon. It’s hard to believe it hasn’t already, but it would...
Another vote for the Tikka in 6.5 CM. No worries, no fuss, works for everything . If you ever feel like you want more velocity, the Tikka chamber is very accommodating for reloads, so you can easily get another 200 fps with the same bullet over factory. So you are very near factory 6.5 PRC...
One rifle for me — Tikka T3X Superlite in 6.5 CM with SWFA 3-9 on top. It gets beat up in the mountains here, but it does everything I need it to perfectly. If I wind up making the NZ trip happen next year I won’t hesitate to use it for (hopefully) red stag and tahr.
Yeah my understanding of the new iPhone capability is it does not have satellite text capability. So that salesman is selling you a line of BS. It's emergency only, and the message goes to emergency services. Only thing that's not clear to me is whether it goes direct to your local emergency...
