    Remington 700 problem

    I bought a Remington 700 SPS in 7mm Rem Mag last summer. From day one I've had problems with cases sticking in the chamber after firing. Both factory and hand loads. Although not every case does it, the worst was plain-Jane Federal blue-box 150. The bolt handle lifts fine, but the bolt won't...

    Labradar vs Magnetospeed - indoor use

    I shoot quite a bit at the indoor rifle range in Fargo (RRRMC.com). I’m looking for a new chronograph solution since they won’t let me use my optical one (because it has to sit in front of the bench). Labradar seems ideal since it sits next to you and you don’t have to strap anything to your...

    DIY Duracoat - It can be done

    I'd like to start this post by thanking Slim aka: Bed Wetter for giving me the inspiration. He showed me his duracoat rattlecan job and knew I could do better ;). You need a decent airbrush, a good degreaser, and a lot of patience. Here's a few things I've done over the last few months. My...

    Looking for new stock for Remington 700

    I’m looking for a better stock for my Remington 700 – 7mm Rem Mag. This will be used for some long-range bench shooting, but also some hunting. Criteria: -Long Action -Integrated bedding block -Not crazy heavy -$400 or less – there is some stupid-expensive stuff out there… -Left Handed –...

    E2 Elk - Location, Maps, etc

    I was drawn for an E2 cow tag. Yes, cow. I know, once in a lifetime, etc, etc. Anyway, I admittedly have not done much homework since I was consumed with planning for a CO archery hunt. I have summarized those exploits here...

    Elk hunting - the hard way

    Note: This is the short version. The long version includes weather that was too hot, moving camp locations several times and a lot of sweating. My brother and I decided to do what I would consider one of the hardest hunts there is: DIY wilderness elk hunt in an area we’ve never been before...

    Barrel threading in the FM area?

    I need to get my new Rem 700 cut for a suppressor. Need to cut the noise and recoil on this 7mm as soon as possible. I've only had to thread one barrel in the past and sent it to a gunsmith in Pierre SD. Can anyone recommend a smith in the Fargo or surrounding area that won't want to keep my...

    Savage or Tikka?

    Here’s the details. I was drawn for an elk tag, and currently my largest bore rifle is 243 win. This is a good problem to have. I’ve narrowed my caliber choice to 300wsm. I shoot left handed, so factory rifle options are limited. I’ve narrowed that to either: Savage 11...

    Does muzzleloader season mean the end of elk calling?

    I'm trying to schedule my Colorado archery elk hunt. I'd rather not be out there over labor day -- too many granola-eating hippies lurking about. Ideally it would be about 10 days over mid-Sept. However, muzzleloader season is 9/10 - 9/18. Last time I was out there (2 years ago), I heard...

    ACDC at the Fargodome

    Angus Young is a god among mere mortals. What he can do with a chunk of wood and metal (hooked to a ridiculous array of amps and speakers) defies explanation. Who else was there? SvnMag?

    Which Leupold VX-6 ?

    I’m looking at replacing my sufficient but boring Nikon Monarch 4-12x44 with a Leupold VX-6. This will be on my AR-10 in 243 Win. I use it to shoot deer, coyotes, and targets. I’ve already decided on the Leupold vx-6, so don’t say “you should get other brand x”. What I can’t decide is the...

    The whole posted / unposted land thing in ND should die (includes Poll)

    This may be coming from my first 20 years spent in SD, where you need to get permission for private land regardless of posting, but I think ND should go to that as well. Yes, the idea of being able to hunt a bunch of private land without tracking down the land owner sounds good, but those...

    Home security system

    Apparently the wife is not comforted by the giant chocolate lab in the garage and the Glock under the bed (locked up of course). It’s always a big deal for me to be gone a few days for work or hunting. Apparently just my commanding presence is enough to keep shady people away from our house…...

    Name that bullet

    American Eagle 50gr Varmint Tipped A few weeks back I was blasting prairie dogs with an assortment of factory 223 rounds out of my 16in AR. I was really impressed with these rounds. They seemed to create carnage similar to the 22-250 my brother was shooting -- at least inside of 200 yards...

    I caught you a delicious bass

    I do a lot of bass fishing. Usually I don't keep any. A couple times this year there were a few that inhaled the bait and were bleeding from the gills, so I kept them. I've eaten bass in the past and have never been impressed. It seemed mushy and gamey. At one point I swore I'd never keep...

    Mosquito control

    As predicted, all the rain a few weeks ago created a butt-load of mosquitos in the Fargo area. I'm getting killed out there, even in the middle of the day. It doesn't help that I have standing water in the ditches on 3 sides of my place. I have a Skeeter Defeater...

    Calling coyotes in the spring?

    Just wondering if anyone has done much of it. I don’t think I’ve ever tried past April 1 for a number of reasons: -It’s time to start fishing -Roads / access can be a muddy mess -Seems like it’s always windy -Mosquitos -I might feel bad shooing a mom…wondering if I just left some pups to...
