    6.5 Battle for Yote gun...

    I have a 6.5 CM already that get used for deer. I was considering a Grendel for coyotes, but could just use the CM and work up some loads. Any thoughts?

    CZ 600 .223, anyone yet?

    For the recall they just red loctite the bolts that clamp the barrel in. I have an Alpha in .308 that shoots well, i should say I had, my brother hasn’t given it back to me since last deer season. A buddy had a Lux in .223. He likes it and says it shoots well. It looks interesting, but does...

    Need a new .223 what options should I consider?

    I've been looking to build or buy a general purpose bolt action .223 for a while. I prefer a 20" barrel. I have an X-Bolt, but don't like the stock and can't find a replacement. My current thoughts are the Ridgeline Scout...I have a .308 Ridgeline that fits and shoots well. Also thought about...

    After market Browning X Bolt 223 stock??

    I have an X Bolt 223. It shoots decent, but the synthetic stock fits me poorly. The 223 X Bolt action is shorter than the actions on the .308 sized calibers, and I can’t find anyone who makes a stock that will fit. Anyone know who might make a stock? I may end up selling and getting a Tikka or...

    Predator calling

    A few house cats and a herd of cows on a few occasions. Nothing too exciting. Oh I forgot about my badger I called in. I was in WY and didn't have a fur bearers license so I couldn't shoot it. Was cool to see him though.

    After the kill

    I still skin most of the fall and winter dogs,and will do a basic tan when my neighbor does all the stuff he traps in the spring. Not worth much, but I feel better when I use some party of them. Spring and summer ones I usually leave.

    Nice! I'm ready to get back after them. Acorns everywhere in central MO this year.

    Ruger M77 action-why don’t you see custom builds?

    It can definitely be done, as others have proven. I just think other platforms have more aftermarket options and a stronger following.

    Thanks for the replies. Also thought about the Bushnell Elite LRHS.

    Need a new scope. What are your thoughts?

    I'm looking to get a new scope for hunting out to 700-800 yds with my 6.5 Creedmoor. It currently wears a Bushnell Elite Tactical, but the scope has MOA turrets and a mil-dot reticle. It has been repeatable so far out to 1000yds, but I'd like something with an MOA reticle so I can use my data I...

    Missouri squirrel season

    I plan on getting started soon! I think squirrels are fun to hunt, and this foliage makes it even more of a challenge. I'm going to try my recurve on a few this year, as well as the handguns, rifles, and shotgun (one area I hunt only allows shotguns). Should be fun between squirrels and frog...
