    Recommend me a thermal scope

    I have the Pulsar XP 38 and I love it. No frills , good battery life with the external battery. I can “see” a heat source at over 1000 yds, identify at about 600 and stalk from there. And as a counterpoint as an owner and shooter of several ATN products, I have absolutely nothing good to say...

    Ruger Precision Rifle in 300 PRC?

    After shooting aftermarket triggers in all my other rifles it just didn’t have a good “feel” and the stock simply wasn’t a solid platform. I put a Magpul PRS on and it’s rock solid. Really changed the rifle.

    Ruger Precision Rifle in 300 PRC?

    I have a RPR in 308. After I threw away the trigger and stock it is a tack driver, with a Vortex Gen2 Rzr and a suppressor it weighs a little over 17 pounds. You don’t want to jump it around the mountains, but out to 1280 yds it hits if you do your part. What I’m saying is the RPR is a great...

    Long range shooting course

    Non Typical Outfitters. They are sponsees on this site I think, they were recommended to me by Len Backus. I did their class a couple of years ago. Loved it. Well worth the time and money. Longest hog shot to date is 985, longest Elk is 536, longest White tail is 310. Wouldn’t have tried any...

    Federal Edge TLR Bullets For Reloading

    I shhot them in my 308 but haven’t reloaded with them yet . but I have shot several hundred of the factory loaded and they are deadly on hogs. They make a horrific head shot, and are devastating in the chest cavity. And are accurate at the range out to 600 yds.

    450 Bushmaster muzzle device for hunting

    BE CAREFUL WITH ASSUMING THE THREAD PITCH!!! I have a Factory Bushmaster AR-15 And a factory Ruger bolt action. Both have a 11/16 thread that work wonderful with my 45 cal suppressor. BUT— I bought a 450 barrel from Bear Creek Arsenal that has 5/8 thread set up for a 458 SOCOM This is...

    Field Practice to Make Better Hunting Shots

    I went to a Shooting class with Non Typical Outfitters a couple of years ago. I knew I wasn’t great, found out I wasn’t even good. Rob showed us several different ways to set up for a shot. Off sticks, backpacks, rocks, tree limbs, fence posts basically anything available. I have been...

    Do you name your rifles?

    My 224 Valkyrie with the thermal is my hog gun. My wife named it “Bubba Yega” the red neck bogey man cause we both love the John Wick movies and it makes pigs afraid of the dark. Hehehe

    Found my load.

    We did a primer test on 300 BO Tested 3 different primers and the difference was 6-8 FPS and the groups size was smaller and larger than what we had seen previously. I always thought it didn’t matter but I guess it all matters.

    Found my load.

    My brother does my loading and says if we mess with it he will requires a live chicken to satisfy the voodoo requirements. I think he just wants to make gumbo.

    Found my load.

    I’ll give it a try. Scared to touch anything though. Never had a load this consistent. ALSO—- We weighed the bullets before we loaded and Berger quality control was unbelievable. Had a 4 decimal place scale and there was less than .003 different in 20 bullets. Hornady could learn a few things...

    Found my load.

    Shorter? Actually started out longer , we measured the chamber and started out 5 thousand off the lands, but couldn’t get it in the magazine and as we got shorter the groups got smaller. At the same time powder was going up. We also tester Reloader 26 and it constantly lagged behind the...
