No kidding? I was thinking the 20" would be so nice and handy. What makes you think you'd like the extra two inches?

Like a Ruger ranch rifle or the like.

I do like the idea of heavy 7-08 loads. Makes for a pretty versatile rifle.

I was drooling over the Sako bears series of rifles and got to thinking about the available barrel lengths vs caliber options. The question that came to mind is, what do y'all think are some of the most powerful short barreled hunting rifle cartridge options? For example, the handy .308...

I may be a bit of an outlier here. I love to stand while at my reloading bench. Being 6'5", I have a lifelong hatred of the sore lower back from working at short counter tops and workbenches. I have built 3 benches in my heated garage for various purposes; general workbench, drill...

Are your benches old pianos?!?!?! What a cool idea.

I love my Tikka. In the accuracy department, it sets a standard many other comparably priced rifles can't match. The rifle handles great, and is a joy to carry around because of it's light weight. Although I have nothing to say against the Tikka T3, it's my last point that I can't ignore. I've...

Considering what has been learned and implemented by cartridge designers and manufacturers as of late, it seems as if shorter, fatter cases with slow burning powders using long for caliber bullets and the use of faster twist rates is becoming more the norm than the exception. It has also been...

Beauty of a buck. I had a pretty good experience with the TTSX's myself. I was out moose hunting the Saskatchewan prairies yesterday. I had an ideal opportunity on a moose calf at a range findered 297 yards. I was sitting on the side of a hill, rested on sticks. The old .270 Winchester spat out...

Any chance it could have been registering the sabot?

After a day at the range, I feel the need once again, to consult the gurus here on this forum. I wanted to shoot my muzzleloader after cleaning the breech plug and changing the vent liner.I cleaned and scrubbed the barrel while it was opened up. Wanting to shoot out the fresh oil, I weighed...

I've been watching this thread since it started. At first it was interesting conversation, then it morphed into something very different. Once you started posting pics, I was hooked. I can't wait to see how it turns out. It looks awesome. I eagerly anticipate the next pics. I don't want to...

That's looking pretty darned good. How has it been for plugging files and abrasives? Do you find you have to do lots of file brushing and such?

I have to admit that my mom was never really a big fan, but that almost made me more sure that it was a great idea! I completely agree with your philosophy on hatchets. I'm typically an axe man myself. This little guy just got the benefit of joining the heavy iron collection just because of...

Very nice little Hudson's Bay pattern. Looks like the ideal size/weight combination.

Isn't that true. I don't think some people realize the importance of simple items in a family's history. I think I finally got the pic straightened out.

The hatchet of my youth was calling out for a new lease on life. Filing off the mushrooming caused by myself a quarter century earlier was my penance for using a hammer on the poll like a splitting wedge.

Hey guys. I got the chance to participate in a moose hunt that I hadn't previously prepared for. The property is in central/northern Saskatchewan. Mostly wooded, sometimes near farmland. The only hunting rifle I have woods ready is a Sako 85 in .270 Win. The only handloads I have prepared and...

The protector was cut to shape, and the sewn ends just barely overlapped. Then I marked and punched the stitching holes. I used a stitch that required two needles and waxed thread. I wish I knew the real name of the stitch, but I honestly just hopped around Youtube until I found one I liked...
