my yard looked like shite for about a month while ICE was in BR. It was nice to come home from a hunting trip and find it finally mowed and trimmed.

Cox vs ATT internet in BR question
Posted by Duckhammer_77 on 12/26/25 at 1:53 pm
Want to cut cable and ditch Cox, but ATT doesn't have fiber available to my address. Is the ATT "Internet Air" worth it in BR or should I stay with Cox until ATT has fiber in my n'hood?

Have a traverse 30 Nosler, ridgeline 28 Nosler, and mesa 6.5 CM models, all purchased before the private equity sale. I hand load for them and they are very accurate rifles.
They sold to Ancor capital in 2019 just when word was spreading about them. They got super popular and ramped up production right as covid happened. They went from boutique gunmakers with experienced staff to high production with whoever they could get to run the machines. They changed things internally to increase profits. QA/QC went to dogshit, rifles weren't grouping, machining looked like shite in the chambers.
My buddy bought a mesa 6.5 CM in 2021 and it looked like they reamed the chamber with a shrimp fork. LOTS of people had to send back their rifles for warranty work and the company wasn't always the nicest about it. Go to any Cabelas or Scheels and you'll see plenty of CA rifles on the used rack from this period.
The internet hasn't been very kind to CA about it either. Hopefully they've been listening and got their shite together. Outdoor Life has an article saying the new Evoke is the shite, but I'm sure Ancor pays for ad space too.
With the Evoke at $1k and with CA's track record, get a Bergara.

re: What are the best local sporting goods (e.g., Simmons, Nichols) stores in Louisiana?

going to get hate for it, but Bowie outfitters has some good stuff
Shooters in Lafayette is like Bowies but with way more hunting focus and less fishing
St. Landry Lumber Co in Opelousas (not sure about clothes but awesome firearms and ammo selection)
TP Outdoors in Monroe.

quote:mine lives under the back seat of my truck. This plus a tire plug kit has saved my arse a few times. I use this waaay more than I thought I would. People never realize that spare tires need to be inflated too, even if you're changing a tire, this air pump is awesome. Hands down best fathers day gift I've ever received. Even rolling into the camp ready to hunt and SxS has a flat - five minutes later, it's plugged, inflated, and you're rolling.
the Ryobi 18v cordless air pump...can fit under the seat
mine is digital and looks like this but I think it's discontinued
this is the new version

Sometimes my pulse is racing so hard the vein in my cheek makes the crosshair bounce left and right. There's breathing work you can do to help all that.

See, this is how shite starts. That's a deal on a great scope and I don't have a rifle for it...yet. :rolleyes: but now I have to get a rifle cuz I'm gonna buy that scope.

Posted by Duckhammer_77 on 12/4/25 at 1:59 pm to Deaux-nut
Tikkas are great rifles and 7 PRC is a great cartridge. Tikkas are also very lightweight. NF scopes seem overkill for a Tikka hunting rifle. Look at this Zeiss Conquest it's really all you need for 500yd hunting.
