second on the chirp software. Just picked up some baofeng hand helds and have a nice base unit in the truck. Our little circle is all connected just in case. I carry mine every day as well as my wife.

I picked up a used montana really nice trailer and used it one winter for hunts then sold it that same year. Ill stick with the wall tent all day long.

Another case in point, I have been hiking the grand canyon most years for a while and have been down and out or across 8 trips now and many long backpack trips in between hunting or not. I let it get in my head that i was getting older and fatter and took a year off from the gym and I was in no shape to be going this year. I managed to make myself go and had an amazing trip with my two kids and (ex wife). I didnt want my kids to go without me so I started hiking with plate carrier almost every day after work even if it was short. Did every single mile solo and then got to spend the day with my kids in an amazing place and wouldnt you know it I was pretty good on the hike. The feeling getting through a rim to rim and sitting down for dinner watching my kids go back over the day was priceless. On the last 2 miles heading out the north rim I ran into a guy named Cody, he was solo and came down from the north about 3 miles to take photographs at sunset, he was a pretty heavy guy and said he was 60 and living with his 80 year old dad. I was in rough shape at that point slogging along and he sat with me and bulled for a bit teaching me how to hike when your old and tired, I said goodby and never stopped thinking about that guy the rest of the night. I hope thats me at some point. He had tons of excuses but refused to sit around. I figure it was dark for his last few hours out of there, cool dude. Wore his belt line 3 inches above his belly button, most of those guys have seen and done some stuff. Always remember you will, 99 percent of the time be glad you went, shooting, hiking, camping, stopped to see a freind, whatever.

I went on early archery bull hunts in prime units the last 5 years in a row and for sure this year there was a very noticeable lack of activity and numbers of elk. It was warmer for sure and a super moon. The other thing i noticed is for some reason the woods were jacked full of archery deer hunters both resident and no resident. way more than I remember seeing on Wednesday before elk hunt. Tough to even find a camp spot. Alot of that was the good old squatters (for another conversation). We spent 16 days this year and no filled tag, had some opportunities but not many. Alot of zero bugle days as well. We could find them at night but nothing talking during the day and very little rut activity when we did find them. Alot of spot and stalk due to calls not being effective.

You have to just go, exercise and the outdoors is the fountain of youth. Im sure every time you guys think of all the work of planning and packing and cleaning up after but you actually still go camp or hunt or fish you feel much better after and your glad you went??? I know i feel that way. This year I had an elk tag and spent the entire 14 days or so hunting solo. only took one day off and that was to help another hunter. It was a bummer at times but I wouldnt trade those days for anything. A few tips that may help, organize your gear for less work. I put together a small box trailer with all my gear in it. Bunk bed and camp box. All I need to do is fill the cooler and grab some food and clothes and im on the road. when i get back i just dump the cooler and grab dirty clothes and park the trailer. Its small and cheap but the bed is really nice and man its super convenient. I have a few of those plastic bins from china and all my hunting camp gear and clothes are in them, always ready to go.

recycled cabinets top and bottom, MDF top with T track installed plus custom quick change plate recessed in top, I can swap operations in seconds including presses. More labor than money in the bench its self. lots of storage. Behind this picture is a husky toolbox with similar set up for trimming and presses and all drawers filled with loose items. Still need to label drawer faces. Cant go without the old Coues calendar as well

Find someone who can bulk buy at free shipping. Make freinds with an FFL with dealer status and buy enough to avoid shipping, usually 300.00 to 400.00 or more

I was thinking of trying that, pushing bullets out to jam for shorter cases. Good thought. Aslo thinking of building a sled and water cooler fire forming set up before my next barrel. Would be good to have around the shop.

Finally made time for myself and put together this PRS build. Custom Brake, Custom Bolt knob, Custom weighted bag rider, custom weighted Butt, bedded to chassis. Needs some paint work but ready to see what she can do. MPA chassis, trigger tech diamond, krieger 1.25 straight 1:7, MPA one pc 34mm rings, MDT digital level, accutac bipod . Waiting on upgraded straight grip with thumb rest (back ordered months)

Wondering if you had any light primer strikes when fire forming? I might be slightly long on my headspace. I get close to 1 of 10 rounds no ignition. I put a new primer in and then no issue. Also notice the light strikes are on rounds that measure shorter by a few thousandths on gage line.

I did mine. Im guessing Stomp did his since I bought my reamer from him.

Havnt made time to reload but it shoots the remington standard really well fire forming so im guessing it will tighten up a few more percent. The Ackley shoulder gives more room at top end of powder charge. It should allow for higher velocity with less powder from what Im told, over the standard rem case.

So here are some thoughts on the Weatherby 307. I would use this action again, only minor fit and finish issues after getting some measurements. Superior to Rem 700 action for sure. At 750.00 for a ready to go 700 footprint clone action so far I say I like it. Main issue I had with it was they painted the lug face, I skim cut it off while indicating and it was close to square but with just buffing the paint off I got .0005 better. So the metal under the paint was .0005 square to center axis but the paint was showing .001 Overall very nice action

Long Action any caliber what are you building no holds barred.??????

I have a shop in wittmann, Aark Machine. shoot me a message

175 eldx running 2930 to 2950

As it sits in the photo 10.5 lbs

Put a few rounds through it. Shot decent at MOA. Opened up when it got warm. What is your preference on bottom metal? Bdl or box? I ended up standard bdl but have m5 and magazine in the mail. Delivery issues. Man it’s warm on the range. Looks and feels great in hand. Could have used better glass and bipod. took suggestion and mounted Arca with pic rail up front. Works great on tripod.

Me and my buddy use the walkers ear buds just like the axil. Work great. Foam for back up.

Well 95 percent completed. Waiting for bedding to dry to put trigger in. Headed for range tomorrow. 7 PRC on Weatherby 307. bartlien carbon 1:8 at 24in long. Shop made brake, arca rail and pic rail custom mounted with bedded inserts. Pure precision bdl bottom for now, trigger tech trigger, custom bolt knob, Talley 20 moa base, action bedded. Temporary scope and bipod.

Wanted to get some thoughts on this. I heard on Meateater trivia that when Bass bought Cabela's they shut down its headquarters that was in a small town of 6000 people and that close to 2000 people worked there. Makes me not want to shop there ever again. I had already backed off from them and went to Sportsmans anyway but this really irked me.

how about 120 so i dont have to go find a 5?
