    Picture for attention

    I see people posting “picture for attention” occasionally now with accompanying pics that aren’t always related to topic of discussion. Am I missing something or is this just some extension of people thinking everything is like Facebook? WTF, over.

    WTS Seekins Havak / Bartlein Carbon 300 WM

    I'm selling this Seekins Havak PH(2?) that has a 26" Bartlein Carbon #4 9 Twist barrel chambered by TS Custom. The chamber was spec'd to seat the 215+ bergers, 0.200" freebore i believe. It has one of the new action/bolts that runs much smoother than the orginal havak actions. Included with it...

    Have an unopened 8# of reloder 26. I don't need it gone but I'm not using it and these are currently selling for over $1k on gunbroker. So if someone local was considering getting gouged by gunbroker, I'll gouge you less - $700. Also interested in possible full or partial trades for H4895.

    KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

    Didn't remove a ton of weight from the Bravo but looks like a nice option nonetheless! If it weren't for rokstok i bet they'd have sold a bunch to roksliders. If rokstok is as good as I think it will be, i'd rather have that extra lb of weight in a heavier barrel and scope. Sure love the ergos...

    Giraud Trimmer case holder

    Can someone confirm that a 6.5 creedmoor case holder would work just fine for a 6 creedmoor on a giraud bench trimmer? I'm 95% sure it will work great but just wanted to confirm. I'll be loading a lot more 6mm but figured ill likely do some 6.5 at some point as well so it would be nice to just...

    Stainless vs Ti Suppressor Hub adapters

    Question - for a steel can mating to a steel muzzle device, would a steel hub adapter between the two be less likely to have issues than a DLC coated ti one? Comparing ECCO stainless to TBAC CB2HUB adapters. Steel one is almost an ounce heavier which isn't a big deal for this application but i'd...

    Treestand pack

    What do you guys use for late season packs to carry all the bulky bibs/parka to stand? I've been sandwiching the full FL sanctuary bibs/parka between a seek outside frame and merlin but it's getting a little old to manage the straps and stuff slips through the straps occasionally. I'm worried...

    Applied Ballistics vs Hornady BCs

    There's a fair bit of discrepancy between AB's listed BCs and Hornady's for the ELDm line and it's not just a consistent % difference. For example, I always assumed the 75 ELDm had a better form factor than the 80 because the Hornady listed BC is very close. AB's #'s say the opposite...

    22 ARC

    Looks like 22 ARC is likely on the horizon from hornady. But why? I can see tiny improvements vs the valkyrie (little fatter/shorter) but it's hard seeing how that would really amount to anything. 20 FPS?

    Newby Guide to Suppressor on ARs

    My main home defense/SHTF gun is a 14.5" BCM that I had a TBAC cb flash hider tacked to avoid NFA and make compatible with my ultra 7. After just a little shooting with the can (maybe 100-150 rounds?) I was amazed at how filthy the rifle got and wasn't a big fan of some of the blowback. I'm AR...

    Trapping in yard with free ranging chickens.

    We have laying chickens that free range during the day. Coyotes have put a hurting on our numbers so I finally started looking into trapping and set my first foot hold dirt hole sets this afternoon. Took about 3 hours until one of the damn chickens was caught in a trap. We live on just 6 acres...

    1000+ Yard, Cross Canyon, hunting hit %

    I opened my yapper on a different thread related to this topic and want to avoid further hijacking it but still was thinking about this. Scenario: You're shooting at 2 MOA target at least 1000 yards across a canyon - range is measured by your hunting range finder, not a known range (i.e...

    Reliable Short Range Whitetail Scope

    I find myself rifle hunting whitetail in my home state of MN in thick stuff where shot distances are most likely to be 10-50 yards. There are chances they could go 2-300 yards but very unlikely. My current muzzle loaders and centerfire rifles used in MN are wearing SWFA 3-9 SS scopes. I have...

    Historical Wind Data Source

    I'm curious if there is a source folks use for historical wind data. What I'd like to do is look at historical trail cam pictures and try to observe any patterns with buck movement based on wind conditions. I heard Mark Drury say he takes a screen shot of the weather daily for future...
