    Sleeping in truck or tent

    I set up my Whiteduck 10' Bell Regatta tent this weekend in the yard. Tried to get it all wet as directed to cause the cotton to swell and seal everything up. It was already water proofed so that was a little difficult. In between dousing, I placed an aluminum army cot inside to see how much...

    Savage 110 Trail Hunter

    Ok, the pillar bedded Hougue had to go because I got a pretty good deal on a full aluminum bedded block Hogue. Only shot around 50 shots or so breaking it in. This morning, I took it to the range early to avoid the wind. Took 4 groups of three in a ladder format and all four groups were under an...

    Boy did I find powder.

    Keep looking, the Alliant stuff seems to be dropping now. Bought two boxes of 284 nosler ballistic tip 160's this weekend. Didn't think they were even making them anyway. Just need the primers to follow.

    Kjeergards in Lake Benton Mn has an 8 lb of that as well.

    Kjeergard Sports. Probably 24 8 oz bottles $73 apiece. Do not know if they ship. I too am seeing alot of Alliant on the shelves. Funny how they announce no more and then a sh-tload shows up but at an inflated price. Is that savvy marketing? Still seems to be a primer drought on Large Rifle...

    Savage 110 Trail Hunter

    I bought an axis compact in 7-08 and the dang thing is accurate enough that it temps a man to leave the cannons at home. It was used. I bought a Savage 116 in 338WM and it is a tac driver as well. So, getting a little heavier barreled action vs trying my luck with another used gun didn't seem...

    Just bought one of these in 7MM Rem Mag. Anyone having any experience with one? good or bad?

    I couldnt pass up the Regatta 10" Bell Tent. Have to give it a try this November and see how it works out. Temps could be around 0-32 at night. Whole thing should fit into a Duffle bag. Most likely have the truck set up as the backup or for being flexible.

    I don't know about that one. Price is right. If its muddy and been raining or snowing constantly, are you going to want to lay on your back and hook some of those straps up? I think I would mount hooks all over on the vehicle to avoid that. Small tent might be better.

    Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!

    The world of archery continues to evolve. Yesterday I got a pop up coupon for $300 off a Burris Oracle bowsight. Heck I was bummed when I found out that sights cost more than $100. Now you can get $300 off? My god, what does it cost and will this insanity ever stop? Not while people have...

    It probably beats the alternative. I did spy a "White Duck Regatta 10' Bell tent in a pawn shop today. Did not look like it had been out of the box. Probably lighter than my 5 man or 10 man arctic tent. Might buy it for when I get older or don't want to crawl in and out of the truck anymore...

    Anybody have luck in the elk draw?

    I only apply in South Dakota. Been to Wyoming once and Idaho twice, had fun, learned things but no elk for me. Called one in for a friend in Wyoming and he scored so I guess thats an assist. Maybe in the future but we all see how that game is playing out.

    Not me. On the positive side, I have more preference for next year.

    8' Superduty bed. Couple 2" x 6" crossways and an army litter for a bed. Most of the stuff i bring fits under the lofted bed. Note the toolbox inside the topper. I tend to bring too much stuff. Yes you have ot step over that first 2 x 6 every time you get in or out. Kind of an old age...
