Slik sling! Google it. Cheap and life changing I promise.

Only if you call it the 6.3 creedmoor.

Anybody have these? I can't seem to find any objective (no pun intended) reviews of these. I've always been a huge fan of Bushy because of their value and rainguard coatings, so I'd love to hear thoughts if anybody has had a chance to use these in the field.

You're awesome. Thank you much! I love Savages but long actions are apparently not their strong point.

Can anybody tell me what the max magazine length is for this gun? Wanting to see if this setup is an option and I definitely wanna run the heavier bullets without jamming into the powder column...

I noticed the back of the secondary safety knob has an allen bolt. If I unscrew that a few turns, would that allow the firing pin to travel further forward and accomplish the same thing? The accuracy I'm getting is less than desirable and I was wondering if my makeshift "nipple shim" was...

Putting that washer in there between the nipple and the breech plug worked. Someday if I can ever get my hands on other musket or percussion caps, I'll try another brands. If they fail to ignite as well, I'll need to look at getting either longer nipples or breech plug.

Quick update, I unscrewed the breech plug half a turn and it finally cracked one off. I now know what an ignited musket cap is like haha. I dug through my workbench and found a washer to shim out the musket nipple, I'll give that a try in the morning.

So here's the situation: Gun = brand new Knight Ultralite, 50 cal Ignition System = Western style breech, with musket cap nipple installed Musket Caps = Schuetzen Musket Caps, 4 Wing Style I've never shot this gun. I'm getting ready to work up a load using some Hornady Prairie Hunters and 777...

Cooper AT3's.

I've looked through the older version of the Leicas, and they were some of the best glassing binos I have ever peered through. Game changer.

You know, as I get older, my appreciation for things that outdate me grows... like the 264 Win Mag. Remember when we used to respect this bullet diameter by its imperial measure and not its metric?!🤪 Something about it. (Don't tell me the 6.5 Swede has been around for eons, I know, it's tongue...

Awesome!

I'll add that I hunt with a beartooth 80 as well, for everything from daytrips to week long pack-ins, so having one slik sling setup on my pack is reasonable.

Check out slik sling by creative outdoors. Its super lightweight and simple and allows for a pretty efficient marriage between longrifles and backpacks. Takes a minute or two of practice for draw but is suprisingly fast. I mostly hunt with a chassis 300 wsm with 24" barrel and suppressor, and...
