Of the three different CZ rimfire rifles I acquired recently, I`ve decided to keep the CZ 457 Pro-Varmint in .22LR. This thing is HEAVY for a rimfire, but it will be mostly shot from a bench off a bag. Which one would you have chosen? My choices were the CZ 457 At-One (.22LR), the CZ 457 Combo (.22LR & .17HMR) or the Pro-Varmint. @czusafirearms @czguns

New (to me) stock for the Ruger 10/22 Magnum! The Revolution thumbhole stock was in stock online, in used condition. It fit perfectly and looks really good!

What`s wrong with this Coyote? WRONG answers only! Side-note: I`m impressed by how healthy this Coyote is, considering the leg count.

I had a great time chatting with Johnny Mack from @soulseekersnation and Flat Land Sam during the 2025 SHOT Show in Las Vegas last month (January 2025). We had a great time chatting about varmint hunting, Texas hunting, including hog hunting, cartridges, thermals and firearms. Check it out on Spotify (LINK IN BIO):

THIS MAY NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO UPDATE OUR SITE FOR A LONG TIME. THERE WERE ISSUES AFFECTING OUR ABILITY TO UPDATE THE WP SOFTWARE, PLUGINS & EVEN SOME ARTICLE SETTINGS. EVERYTHING HAS FINALLY BEEN FIXED AND I HAVE UPDATED THE ENTIRE SITE. THIS MEANS THAT I NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO UPGRADE OUR THEME & ADD SO MUCH MORE TO THE SITE! STAY-TUNED!
Swipe Left for more pictures. Remember this guy (2nd picture)? My buddy, Dave, hammered him the other night off the tree stand I was using when I was down in Texas. Picture #3 is the moment the 55 grain VMax hit the boar. It had some good cutters under all that chunky face! Like clockwork, though, another big boy has already moved into his property.

I spent 7 hours scouting the backcountry of Utah on Superbowl Sunday. I mapped out two separate routes where we can call and complete almost a figure 8 over 60 miles. Lots of sign and @OnxHunt waypoints, should render good results. I am just getting started on my winter rockchuck scouting, too!

Cold morning with @CacheCarlson and our two #22Grendel rifles. Scouting for rockchuck and comparing our @UpRiverPrecisionArms Howa Mini-Action builds! @howa_usa @legacysportsint

24 Varminter Update!
Ugh!! One pulled shot ruined my group! I will say that the factory Hornady 75 grain Match #22ARC Ammo shoots fantastic out of my @UpriverPrecisionArms .22 Grendel bolt-action rifle and most of the other rifles we`ve tried it in.
@HornadyMfg #22Grendel #varminthunting #CoyoteHunting #rockchuckhunting #BadgerHunting
@UpriverPrecisionArms just completed @CacheCarlson `s new Howa Mini-Action based, .224 Grendel chambered rifle. We got an invite to shoot at the Parma range from our buddy, @FreeDiver474 and took advantage of their long-range target setup. After accuracy testing different loads (handloaded and factory) at 100 yards, Cache took it out to 700 yards consistently! Upriver are the same folks that also built my bolt-action Howa .224 Grendel. More to come on these two rifle builds. Part One will be the breakdown of the parts and build. Part Two will be the hunt report.

We receive messages and comments every week asking us to cover more rimfire content. These are what we are working on for 2025! The question is, will it be enough to scratch that rimfire itch? 😂

My new "Coup De Grace" pistol, the Browning Buckmark Micro Bull SR .22LR Pistol with threaded barrel. Small and easy to pack on my chest, for coyotes, etc that are not quite out for the count. A couple of years ago, I had my boot across the neck of a very pissed off coyote. An inch or two more and he would have chomped on my leg. I`d rather not do that again.

Normally, the grass and weeds cover up the damage caused by the ground squirrels in our area. This area burned last year, so it gives a rare look at the immense damage. Yes, some is caused by badgers digging out the holes. But, the majority is just ground squirrels doing their thing. Now, multiply this by 1000s of acres just in this area!

First ground squirrel of 2025, with the @RugersOfficial 10/22 Carbon! I took this one in 26 degree temperatures and a breeze. It was cold, but the squirrels were taking advantage of the warm sun on the hillside. The Ruger shot most of the ammo I tried very well. I settled on the CCI Stingers and popped it at 80 yards! #Ruger1022

@fixitsticks_official - New product!
#SHOTShow2025
@Bergara_Rifles has announced that they will be offering the #22Creedmoor chambering for 2025. I found these two rifles on a distributor`s site. As we know, MSRP is not MAP pricing. Bergara makes accurate rifles and announced new action and barreled action options from their current lineup late last year. More to come!

Anyone shooting the new #21Sharp rimfire cartridge from @WinchesterAmmunition yet? It boasts some interesting velocity #s. We will check it out at SHOT next week and give our thoughts.

AR15 in 6.5 Grendel knocking down an Antelope doe. The bullet did the job and it dropped. Remington R-25s were made in the adjustable stock or the A2 stock version. This is the A2 stock version of the Remington R-15.

But, but, ARs aren`t accurate for hunting! Psshhaw!! AR-10 chambered in.22 Creedmoor with Sierra 64gr TGKs.

The new Ruger 10/22 Carbon rifle is pretty cool. I ordered three from a distributor, but this one will be put through our typical paces. With everything included, this this is LIGHT! It comes in at around 3.5 lbs! Here is more information:
The lightweight Magpul MOE X-22 Stock features M-LOK slots at the 6 o`clock position, as well as Magpul`s own exclusive TSP texture on the pistol grip, making it an ideal alternative to the standard Ruger 10/22 stock.
Cold hammer-forged barrel tensioned in carbon fiber sleeve features a 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle and is fitted with a thread cap which can be removed to allow for the use of muzzle accessories.
BX-Trigger® with a light, crisp 2.5 - 3 pound trigger pull weight with minimal overtravel and a positive reset.
This legendary action is a tried and true Ruger design that ensures consistent, reliable performance.
Detachable 10-round rotary magazine features a unique rotor to separate cartridges and provide reliable feeding.
Easy-to-use, extended magazine release provides smooth, no-fuss removal of flush-mounted magazine.
Positive, push-button, cross-bolt manual safety.
Factory-Installed One-Piece Aluminum Scope Rail
Heat-stabilized, glass-filled, polymer trigger housing assembly is precision made of high-tech material for improved manufacturing tolerances, impact and abrasion-resistance and an unmatched ability to withstand the elements.

It`s hard to believe that I killed my first badger only 19 years ago. Tejon Ranch, CA with my Remington 591 chambered in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum. I was hunting with my 8yo daughter the last weekend of the season. She is now 27 and married. Crazy!

Pete spotted this guy earlier today. He was out in the weird warm weather we are having here in Idaho.
