    Custom Merkel 140ae Trijicon RMR mount

    The firearm was not modified in anyway. It had the factory removable dovetail. this was built to utilize this cut out. If I was going to mill the gun I could have achieved co-witness. The new mount bolts on with the same two factory allen head screws that the dovetail used. I'm not sure...

    Custom Merkel 140ae Trijicon RMR mount

    I can inquire at the machine shop I had cut it, but this was really just a one off as nobody offered what I wanted and I didn't want to mill the gun at all

    Custom Merkel 140ae Trijicon RMR mount

    I thought I would share this for those interested. It took awhile and cost as much as the RMR due to 3D modelling and scanning the firearm but I am very happy with the fit and cheek weld while in use. I also managed to get it low enough the irons are still visible and somewhat useable but by...

    The ideal retreat home

    Its actually pretty rocky ground so its not too bad. There was one soft spot in a valley I got a few loads of pit-run hauled into but that was it. Got stuck in snow drifts though a few time this winter haha!

    The ideal retreat home

    My little weekend and hunting cabin I've been working on this winter. It's about 1.5 hrs from home but far enough away form people to be relaxing. Nothing fancy by any means but it works for me!

    MAULED: Lessons Learned from a Grizzly Bear Attack

    If you're are going to be charged and mauled you won't barely have time to lift your firearm from a rest to aim before it happens in most cases... just fyi. There is no time to circle around and "take a kill shot" unless you are in no threat and just plain old hunting it... 1 or 2 seconds...

    Double Rifle used in 1923 TV Series

    Also try Sicario and Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Dark, but more good work by Tyler Sheridan. I think Spencer roaming Africa hunting dangerous game with a double rifle, while running from his WW1 PTSD, then having a stunning blonde Brit steal his thoughts.... is quite a nice break from my...

    MAULED: Lessons Learned from a Grizzly Bear Attack

    Just stumbled on this and thought I would share as I was 'enlightened' this summer. I went fishing early on our own land on Aug 6th, 200 yards from my cabin. Like I have for 30+ years... I was being too quiet and managed to get in-between a sow grizz and its cub unknowingly in the bush. By the...

    500Gr 500 Nitro express loads

    I love this forum! You guys are amazing. Varget is a bit less dense then RL15 with a very similar burn rate so I actually thought it might be a good choice to start low and work up, but your data is a huge help! 95-98grs varget would be touching the bullet base. :) the IMR-4350 data is...

    500Gr 500 Nitro express loads

    Hello all, odd bullet weight but let me explain. I bought 100 bonded 500gr .509" soft points for my 50 alaskan years ago and they were too long and never fed right so they sat on the shelf. I recently acquired a 500ne double and thought I would make up these as a mid weight bullet for use...

    Merkel 140ae Bent triggers and Auto Saftey

    I could agree with all the above and your new triggers look more robust. I am going to try and find some asap. But on the positive side I did find time tonight to open her up and disable the auto saftey. The saftey still work as it should (stays where you left it) but doesn't automatically...
