Back Country Bull Elk

This Idaho Public Land Elk gross scored 322 B&C

My wife looked at me like I had just grown two heads as I was doing the happy dance around our living room. The Idaho Fish and Game had finally posted the draw results and I had drawn the rifle tag I wanted for an archery only unit for elk. Once I finally calmed down it was down to business planning the hunt.

As luck would have it my brother In-law Chris also drew out so we would be hunting together. We decided to use ATV’s to haul camp as far as possible then horses for hauling out game. The months passed slowly but finally we were headed out. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t want to help us and it was raining hard making for a muddy wet trail. The four Continue reading Back Country Bull Elk

Savage MKII Mako, Tac 65, and Aguila Subsonic .22lr

A while back I decided that a suppressed .22lr would be a fun addition to my collection.  Not being one to settle for the bare minimums, I decided to build a well thought out package that would be as quiet as possible, pleasing to the eye,  and accurate as well.  There are a pile of .22 rifle and pistol makers, a much smaller pile of .22lr suppressor makers, and just a few producers of subsonic .22 ammo.

For the rifle, I had to choose from a bolt action or semi automatic.  As being quiet as possible is a factor in my decision making, I choose to buy a bolt action.  Semi automatic .22’s are plenty accurate, but are not nearly as quiet due to the excessive noise that the bolt creates while cycling.  This reduced the available number of rifles to choose from Continue reading Savage MKII Mako, Tac 65, and Aguila Subsonic .22lr

CMMG AR-15 .22 LR Conversion Kit review

Ceiner has been producing AR 22 Conversion kits for many years. Some of them worked well and some of them didn’t. If you were lucky enough to get one that worked well then you were laughing all the way to the shooting range. If you didn’t get a good one it was a nightmare working with Mr Ceiner to get it fixed or replaced. The best resolution was to start over and buy a new one hoping you had better luck next time around.

After having owned a Ceiner kit I was a little sceptical about the new CMMG AR-15 .22 Conversion Kit. I bought 3 of them just to test for quality control and function. I bought 2 carbon steel and 1 Stainless kit as well as a whole pile of magazines. I couldn’t be happier. CMMG is committed to their customers and their products. The quality control is excellent as all 3 kits have worked flawlessly. Maybe it’s the AR’s I have, but my kits love the Federal bulk pack ammunition you can buy at Wal-Mart. If you want total reliability buy the Federal 325 round Semi Auto Match packs. I haven’t bothered to test much else because the Federal stuff works so well.
