    Good 3 to 9x Scope for Elk?

    Well you've got the right caliber, 30-06 has killed just about everything on planet earth. I vote for Vortex, I have 2 Diamondbacks and 2 Crossfires, all of them with BDC reticles. Once dialed in for the caliber of the rifle it's very easy to make shots of distance and an elk is a big target. I...

    Deer Hunt

    Just seeing who's out there in Idaho. We'll be hunting the SW corner of the state. Been scouting the last 3 weekends and seeing plenty of shooters to put meat on the table. Good luck I'll let you know if I bring one home.

    RCBS Media Separater

    Here's the portion that is important, it's referring to the walnut or corn cob media being rigid. I was also told the same thing by a gunsmith years ago that only cleaned his brass with water before it was even a thing. As I've been a steelworker/ welder for years I can understand the...

    Ruger Carbine

    Keep in mind that the Magpul mags are cheaper than the glocks and I have never had a single problem with them.

    Hidden Gun

    A good friend of mine recently got a transfer to the VA hospital where I work. We were going scouting for deer Saturday morning so I went to stay at his house the night before. Sitting on the couch I was admiring his coffee table when I felt under the edge thinking to myself that would be a good...

    RCBS Media Separater

    http://www.massreloading.com/reloading_wet_tumbling.html In the media and additives section it mentions work hardening the brass. Which in turn will cause it to fracture, ie, that's why we use brass for cases because it is soft and workable.

    Ruger Carbine

    Anybody else have a Ruger 9mm carbine. I bought one a few months ago and it's my favorite gun. 27 round Magpul mags and a Bushnell red dot, hits steel plates at 100 yards easy.

    Dog hunting.

    Anybody here coyote hunt? I've shot a couple in the past by coincidence but now that I'm in Idaho my friend and I are getting serious about it. It's something that we can hunt all year long.

    Basic gear for high country cold weather elk hunting.

    Awesome post I can't wait till I have time to read the entire thing. I did notice wool socks, I threw away all of my cotton socks years ago and where nothing but wool socks year round. They are comfortable, breathable and I haven't had athlete's foot since I made the switch.

    Yet another single-stack 9mm thread....

    Ditto on the original Shield, I've got 2 with fiber optic night sights and Taran tactical mag extensions. Love them.

    More Subcompacts

    A friend has 2 different Canik pistols I've shot and both are phenomenal shooters. I'll stick to my Shield 9mms. They have always been reliable and comfortable to shoot.

    Ruger American Trouble

    I still have the old stock, don't think I will get rid of it until the problem is solved. When I'm all set with the replacement I'll sell it to you for $30 if that sounds good.

    RCBS Media Separater

    I too have been using a wet tumbler for some time now. It's fact that dry tumbling brass weakens it. I also use a media separator, works great. Also you don't have to use all types of magic potions in the water. I pick up my brass and Idaho desert brass and only use a liberal amount of dawn...
