    143gr Hammer Hunters in 7mm Rem Mag 4831 SC

    Ultra lightweight stock

    I built a custom 7mm Remington LA using a Stocky's M50 Carbon Fiber Stock. 28oz. It's my favorite stock and a good value. I've been looking at all the other stocks to build on a SA. I can afford purchase whatever I want, I'm going with the M50 again...

    Christensen Ridgeline quality / accuracy?

    Labradar

    I use standard battery packs i had for my phone during hiking, 7800 MAH works multiple sessions. Someone at my gun club came up with a design similar to this, I copied him with things I had at home. I had to order the camera style attachment from Amazon. About $20, it works great. No more missed...

    Optics for hunting

    I’ve been using a Leupold VX6 HD 3-18 50mm $2000 and I love it. I built a 7mm and installed the Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 4-20x50 $600, beautiful glass, I honestly can’t say I like one over the other. I’m not afraid of spending money on a quality scope, but as we see there are a lot of great options.

    Ohio Deer test positive for Covid

    It's a bunch of BS. Soon they'll say you need to get rid of pets because they have COVID. No hunting because all animals have COVID. Kill all your cows or other food sources because it has COVID. Don't worry, they'll feed us with their laboratory food supply.
