re: Educate Me On An Alabama Rig

For starters, what action pole and length are y'all using?
Prettymuch anything you would throw a big crank on, MH or H with a moderate to fast action.

What weather conditions make you want to throw one?

None. Throwing an A-rig is a gigantic pain in the arse. It will work any time of the year in any conditions on a shad fishery, but it’s the equivalent of sitting over corn deer hunting turkeys, if I have to resort to that I might as well go buy some fricking golf clubs.

The rut doesn’t wait for a cold front, I take my days off when I know they’re gonna be fired up and don’t look back. Has never mattered if it’s 23 or 73, someone is gonna kill a mature buck on our place on January 3rd.
re: How Long Does The Rut Last In Louisiana ?
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/19/25 at 8:47 am to The Torch
On average it’s gonna be about two weeks, and the peak date will depend on the genetics of the area. It isn’t influenced by weather or the moon, it’s a genetic response to photoperiod that can be lengthened or shifted if there are way too many does or a screwed up age structure.
If deer density is too high or age structure out of whack, you will see a very watered down rut that is spaced out over several weeks, with does coming back in if they don’t get bred the first time. If the bucks in your area get real fired up then just go back to normal quickly, it’s a good sign you or at least folks in the general area are managing things fairly well.

He asked for a review, and this gun was made 100% to compete with the tikka lite. I have both, and the tikka is the better buy unless you just really, really want factory cerakote or have to have a 3 position safety.
re: What .35 Whelen Ammo You Shoot
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/17/25 at 1:04 pm to WillFerrellisking
My scout will put three 225 gr trophy bonded bearclaw federals touching but they have been discontinued, so I’ll be loading accubonds for it when I run out of those. It didn’t like the 180 TSX but I’d have no qualms about shooting them in a pinch.
I have not found a single round out of a 35 whelen that doesn’t put a deer on the ground right there. They can be picky, but if your gun shoots it moment of softball and you’re not lobbing them 200 yards, then roll with it.

re: Low Recoil 30-06

That’s a gun problem not a 243 problem, might be the whole problem. If you’re looking for a little more bullet without a lot more recoil, look at a 7mm-08, 6.5CM, or 308 with a bonded or monolithic bullet and your kid will have a light recoiling deer killing tool for life.

Any rifle marketed as a “target” model is likely to be heavy as shite and will have noticeably less felt recoil. There are a ton out there and they’ll all shoot good, cause they’re heavy as shite. Add a brake or suppressor to a rifle that weighs 10+lbs and you won’t feel much.

You really need to put some trigger time in with that gun before you take it out to hunt. The roughtechs have a little more arse than a standard T3x lite due to the slightly heavier barrel contour, but that’s still going to be about a 7.5 lb setup with magnum recoil. YouTube how to adjust the trigger weight down, it takes about 30 seconds, action screws should be retorqued to 45 in-lbs. Do not be afraid to add weight to the rifle until you’ve gotten used to shooting it.
re: So next year is all riding on the portal
Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 12/6/25 at 8:49 am to PenguinNinja
Every single team in the country is reliant on the portal if they want to be in serious contention. No matter what position you think we need, there’s another team that believes it’s the one piece that will get them a natty. The market will set the price for the players.

I know one thing for certain, if the rumor had any truth to it that frank was telling kids not to sign with LSU because he wouldn’t be there, he wouldn’t be employed today.
Odds are frank was asked if he could guarantee he would be on staff after the bowl game, and he replied I can’t promise you that.

Stop feeding corn. You can trap 90% of them and they will repopulate within the next year. If you feed, the coons are gonna get theirs.

Im not talking about headspace. I'm talking about concentricity.
So basically people think since Remington went to shite such that r700 clones had to be made, that there must be something to fix on a tikka.

The threads on the barrel will perfectly match those on the action resulting in superior accuracy. Can't do that in your garage.
As the manufacturer of the bare action there is no way they can control that anymore than it already is if they aren’t making and installing the barrel. Stock tikka actions are machined so precisely that there are 20 different prefit barrels on the market that will spin on and headspace perfectly. That’s why rokslide loves them.
Again, I can go buy a stainless donor on euro optic today for $700, and pick from a dozen barrels that will shoot bug holes. What about that is broke that needs fixing with an action that will cost twice as much to best case be just as good? Rokslide is creaming over the idea of them making a mini action, and they’ve already said they aren’t cause they can’t and it would be way too expensive.
The only two gripes anyone ever has about a tikka are the two position safety, and that all actions are one length. If they go fricking with either of those they may find out real fast why they’re made that way.

I don’t understand what they’re trying to accomplish here. You can buy a stainless tikka with a great trigger for $700 and change the barrel in your garage. They’re supposedly going to have BAT make it, so it’ll cost twice that at least, with no trigger. Best case it’s as good as the tikka you could have started with. What am I missing?

It’s not a compliment. I’ve seen LSU get their arse kicked, but when it was a little brother like aTm doing the kicking, things mobilized.
