    Western Hunting and Conservation Expo

    Hey Guys - I just received a flyer for this event in the mail today. By title, it sounds like an interesting event, but when I opened it up I see that Jason Chaffetz is the Saturday night keynote speaker. Did I miss something? Did he have a radical change of heart after retiring from congress...

    Idaho black powder

    There are a few options out there for a Northwest Legal rifle. My personal experience is with a Knight Bighorn and a Traditions Vortex Strikerfire. I love everything about the Traditions except for the fact that is is very finicky about what musket caps that you use. It seems to be a flaw with a...

    MSR Trail Shot

    I have one that I keep as my backup option to my steripen. It weighs very little and will do in a pinch, but for larger quantities of water, I use the Steripen. If for any reason the Steripen stops working (which it never has), I at least have a way to get water. It also works good to keep handy...

    Rifle for Kids

    I agree that the 7MM-08 is a great choice for an all around caliber for youth, especially if you plan to hunt anything bigger than deer. I switched my daughter from a Rem 700 .243 (Youth Model) up to a Tikka Compact 7MM-08 in preparation for her first elk hunt this year. The 7-08 definitely has...

    Sako A7 vs Tikka T3X

    I went with the A7 today. Just incase anyone is interested. Sportsmans Warehouse has them on sale for $799. That’s as good of a deal I’ve seen for these and I’ve been looking for a few years now. The sale doesn’t show on the website, but all stores have them on sale.

    Sako A7 vs Tikka T3X

    Thanks fellas... I am leaning real hard toward the Sako. A few of the aftermarket options I would be looking for on the Tikka basically come standard on the A7.

    Sako A7 vs Tikka T3X

    I am in the market for a new 30-06. Was looking real hard at a new Tikka, but I found a deal where I can get a Sako A7 Roughtech for basically the same price as the Tikka. I actually like the feel of the added weight to the Sako. Both seem like good rifles for my purposes, but curious if anyone...

    Knight Ultralight or Mountaineer

    I bought a Traditions Vortek Strikerfire (Northwest Version) 2 seasons ago and have struggled with failure to fire issues since the start. At the end of this season it completely locked up and I am unable to @#)(# it, fire it, nothing. I am going to work with Traditions to get it functioning, but...
