Member susquash passed away last week after a fight with pancreatic cancer. This site was a favorite pass time of his, something he could escape into for a few hours a week after he got sick. I’m not sure how many here had become friends with him but thought I would share his loss with you all.

I wouldn’t mind picking up another 10mm pistol. After getting the xdm elite 4.5 9mm and being so impressed with it I would love to get a full size in 10mm. All I see are compacts. I have big mitts and the compacts are just too small to fit my hands. Any idea if they are planning on...

27” barrel with 9” supressor 103.6gr US869 Fed215 COL 3.65” 2690fps

The Denali park fits the bill of what your seeking. Some other places you could look into would be silos, talkeetna, or possibly cooper landing. Your biggest problem is going to be finding a place away from any towns where you can rent a bicycle. But your idea of a town might be different...

Mine has shot most factory ammo pretty well. It was a bit finicky to load for. I was running to pressure signs earlier than expected with most loads. I finally got this combo to work and it shoots very well. I also think this will be a great combo for hunting with. 2690fps with the 300gr...

My go to load is nosler 300gr accubond with US869 in nosler brass. It shoots very well in my Christensen MPR.

I’m in Alaska, you really need to narrow down where you are going to be and what you want to do. It can take 3 d days to drive across Alaska and you really have to boat or fly anywhere in the “bush”

There is nothing a 300 magnum will do that the 338 LM won’t do better. I would look to expand your arsenal with a big bore, or possibly something smaller and flat shooting. That said there is also no downside to having a 300 to play with either. Of all the 300s there really isn’t much...

I picked up a XDM elite OSP the other day. My initial impression was that it was incredibly comfortable in the hand. I have pretty big mitts and the extra length of the grip really allowed me to get a good grip on the pistol. The sights were the perfect height to get a good sight picture...

I found this on eBay. I bought one to try it out. I think from here on out I’ll just buy the 23 round magazines and save my 19 round mags for my wife’s XDM 3.8 compact.

I’ve been very pleased with the obsidian 9. I use it on my ruger PC carbine and the pistols. It’s very quiet with sub 147gr loads

I picked up a xdm elite OSP today. I needed a new host for my 9mm supressor and this one checked all the boxes. The only downside is that the standard xdm magazines don’t fit without the magazine extension. I happen to have several of the 19 round mags that I would like to convert to the 22...

Good info. Temps have been in the negative double digits here the last few weeks. Saw it down below -40° a couple days ago. It’s amazing how fast you can get into trouble in that kind of weather

That’s the same rifle three ways. The CROM parts are pretty nice very versatile stock options
