    Hunting/skinning knife?

    That is a sexy knife. I am tempted but I am going to hold out, do some more research and pick out exactly what I think I want. I like that akouna though. That is a sweet profile.

    Pack recommendations for a big guy?

    I am probably going to get a seperate pack frame, and just increase the size of my day pack for now. What I was kind of looking at that would be a bid upgrade over what I have is something like this. https://www.rei.com/product/867296/camelbak-fourteener-24-hydration-pack-100-fl-oz

    Probably about $200 on the top end.

    Using Live Bait for Catfish

    My buddy caught a 72lb flathead from shore. I know they often use a kayak to put bait out from shore but I don't think he was then. He uses mostly carp or blue gill as bait.

    Hunting/skinning knife?

    The website says he is backlogged about 3 years to get a knife. I have about 5 months til I leave for my elk hunt. With a backlog like that I am sure they are pretty sweet though.

    Hunting/skinning knife?

    I'm 6'4" and 300lbs. I don't have monster hands but I have hands of someone my size. Xl-XXL gloves normally. I think I am going to get a havalon also, but want something more jack of all trades to put in my pack. I had a couple decent ones awhile back but some a-hole broke into my truck and took a bunch of stuff including my nicer medium knife. It was a buck zipper with gut hook that I saved money for for a long time when I was about 15 and getting ready for my first elk hunt. I have never owned anything better than Buck brand knives, and I want to change that.I am trying to obtain better gear all around and now it is time for a knife.

    The best Camper

    You need more pics of the trailer and more info like length, bed sizes, table? Etc.
  13. Fly n hi off road on mcdowell. Talk to Jeremy, tell him Harley Sent you.
  14. Unless the barrel is shot out don't mess with it IMO.
  15. I am glad I already own a 257 that will shoot really nice, because this is a good deal on a nice rifle.

    New Reloader Questions

    I am working with H1000 in my 7mm Rem Mag sofar, but I know RL22 and Retumbo work well too in a lot of cases. I just have an 8lb keg of H1000 on only 1lb of the other 2 so I am using what I have the most of. Get a load dialed in some more and practice, practice, practice.

    New Reloader Questions

    Those are very nice results for a factory rifle and a first load workup. Play with powder quantity and seating depth and see if you can dial it in.

    Ruger m77 7x57 Mauser

    Glass or pillar bedded? What is the upgraded trigger? Do you have a load worked for this? Tang safety or mark II?

    Work Sharp Knife Sharper

    I like mine for quick sharpening.
  21. I do the same with my 257 weatherby. I take new 7mm Rem mag case, lube them and full length size them. I load a light load the first time around to form the case and then it is game on. My 257 weatherby loves h1000 and berger hvld's. If I do my part it will shoot sub-moa at 500 yards in an almost stock weatherby vanguard. Harley

    7E Scout Trip

    Nice work on the scouting. I have the 7e cow hunt. Snow is a good thing if it isn't tons during the hunt. We went 2/4 last year and it really should have been 3/4. We had no snow last year but we had luck on our side. There are elk all over the unit. The weather will help dictate where the most elk will be.

    Blew the motor in 1999 Yukon need advice

    Either a stock crate motor or mild crate motor would be the best IMO from what is sounds like happened to the motor. I imagine you will need a decent amount of machine work and full rebuild so the bill for that would probably be very close to the same price to get rebuilt with less warranty most likely.

    Blew the motor in 1999 Yukon need advice

    Stockish motor rebuild would be best probably. If you get to crazy especially with the cam specs your going to have problems. If you get to big on cubic inches you may have injector and fuel supply issues too. Last time I had a motor built was by h&h machine in glendale. He did good work. You have to bring him the motor out of the vehicle though. Gm crate motors are a good choice too.
