    How do you carry your bear defense sidearm

    I use a Hill People Gear Recon chest pack. Traditionally the gun is placed in the zippered compartment, and sometimes I do that. However when I am in predator country I do something different. The Recon version has Molle attachments on the front. I attached some pouches, to include an old...

    Recommendations for a new varmint rifle

    I don't have an exact number but I know it is very far north of 50 coyotes that I have killed with a Tikka T3 in .223. I would just grab one and a bunch of ammo that shoots well in it and call it good.

    KRG Bravos are very nice.

    Rifle Double Whammy

    An MDT chassis with a cheek riser on the adjustable buttstock would fit perfectly. It can be adjusted in for small statured shooters, even kids, then out for 6+foot adults in just seconds. Here is a pic of a first gen LSS with a Tikka T3 .308. The buttstock does not have the cheek riser on it...

    Chassis Recommendation

    I have an XLR Element on an R700 300wm. Pretty decent chassis. With the adjustability/modularity of the features, it is pretty easy to make it fit a shooter.

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    I recall when the Rockin R Bar went from being a bar that was full of rednecks and college age cowboys, to a friggin sports bar. I used to college rodeo (riding bucking horses) and stopping in at the Crystal, the Cats Paw, the R Bar and VFW was all in a good night in Bozeman in the 90s. Lots...

    Lapua Scenar on game

    The pics below are a follow up. This is the first cow my oldest daughter killed when she was 15. Range was 375 yards. The gun used was a Tikka T3 .308 chopped to 20"s with a muzzle brake, and shooting the same load I do, which is a 155 Scenar. I told her to shoot the cow behind the shoulder...

    Lapua Scenar on game

    I have shot around a dozen or so elk using 155 Scenars using a .308. Only once have I recovered a bullet and that was on a cow at 615 yards, which is the longest shot I have taken using the projectile. It was in the offside hide. Literally zero drama. If you can shoot well, they shoot little...

    Your top 3 picks for a concealed carry?

    LOL, Those remind me of the 40mm orange practice paint marker rounds we use in grenade launchers for the M203. We used to call them "Cheetos" rounds. I have a funny story about those, but don't have the time to type it out right now. I will when I get back from going to town.

    Your top 3 picks for a concealed carry?

    I have been known to carry a 10mm too. Especially in Yogi the Bear country! I make a 200 grain hardcast flatpoint that I use for a daily carry/general purpose load and it works slick as snake snot for my Glock.

    Your top 3 picks for a concealed carry?

    It really depends on the situation. I consider handguns to be simply tools in a toolbox and one size does not fit all. I carried a gun for a living for roughly 3 decades so over the course of time, I accumulated a few tools of the trade. One that I very rarely consider a primary, but was a...

    Access to public land lost due to hunters using semi-auto rifles

    You are not talking about hunting. You are talking about crime and gun control. "AR's give all hunters terrible PR." The 2nd Amendment protecting our gun rights does not say anything about hunting. Your fabricated stories are nothing but virtue signaling, simply for the fact that you don't...

    Access to public land lost due to hunters using semi-auto rifles

    Scott85 Those domestic disputes, "school shootings" that were actually a pellet gun, and various others that all used handguns, don't fit the "Only maniacs and horrible people own AR-15s, we must ban them all, its for the children" Virtue Signalling that is going on here...

    Ruger Blackhawk revolver 45 long colt, everything but new

    As a motivator: Don't forget, you can load .45 Colt, .45 Schofield, and .45 Cowboy Special, all in the same cylinder. You could find an ACP cylinder and shoot .45 ACP if you like as well, since .45 ACP brass is by far the least expensive and most plentiful of the various cartridge types.

    Looking for a good elk/deer .308 rifle

    At the time I put the above rifles together, there were not compact models or X models available, so I had standard T3s cut down. My gun was put together years ago. It wears a green McMillan Edge stock and Talley lightweight rings hold an original Nightforce compact 2.5-10x24 scope. The barrel...

    Questions about hunting bunny rabbits.

    I have popped a bunny or two in my time. Usually use a handgun and consider it a good reason to get outside and get exercise and after big game season winds down. Normally handgun hunt them with big bore pistols. Frequently use a .44 mag with a hard cast, wide meplat bullet that flattens...
