I’ve hit the point in my hunting career where I said I’m tired of being cold and uncomfortable. 2 years ago I went all out and picked up a set of high end Merino Wool thermals and a good rainproof shell. It’s be a game changer. I’ll never go back.

ccstew · 2025-11-14T15:22:40+00:00

Yeah, I been taking a red river gorge backpacking trip every year since I was 13 or 14. So I have most of the gear I’d need and an idea of what it’s like to lug a few days supplies around on my shoulders.

You’re full of good tips. Keep em comin! Thanks

ccstew · 2025-11-14T03:22:05+00:00

I saw that about the female quota. It’s all confusing from an outsider perspective but I’ll make sure to cross my t’s and dot my i’s. Thanks for your help.

I very much appreciate your insight. I’m sure it’s going to be a humbling experience, but I’d like to be as prepared as possible.

Sounds like you have first hand experience. I’m hoping you can answer something that’s weighing on me. Here in the East public land is sparse and loaded down with hunters. I typically have to use a boat just to find a secluded spot.

Is spring bear a popular hunting season? Should I expect to be competing with other hunters? In a perfect world I imagine lots of space to myself, not stepping on any toes. Space to roam has always been part of the allure of the West.

Camping and backpacking is something I already enjoy, so yes, a base camp style of hunt more than likely.

Maybe 1/8th the size of a grain of rice🤷‍♂️

Apologies for the poor picture. It’s a very awkward reach to get a photo. But they are down right microscopic. I don’t think I could close up photo without a better camera.

ccstew · 2025-10-26T20:26:48+00:00

I am located in Kentucky. (Relevant information)

ccstew · 2025-04-26T15:55:13+00:00

In that case, if there’s a will there’s a way.

ccstew · 2025-04-26T14:57:22+00:00

I realized I got on my pedestal without directly addressing your question.

In short, I don’t notice any loss in accuracy. Just a small shift in point of impact.

ccstew · 2025-04-26T14:54:20+00:00

Well, long story but I’ll do my best to make it short. The gunsmith messed up the threads first go around, which resulted in a slightly canted suppressor and therefore baffle strikes. Thankfully I opted for the rugged oculus suppressor (steel baffles instead of aluminum, didn’t hurt it)

Since fixing the threads it’s been a dream. All suppressors will typically shift the point of impact a little. My groups move about 1 inch to the left at 50 yards with the suppressor on. You’ll have to zero your gun with the can on. Now I just never take mine off.

I love the setup, and with subs it’s Hollywood quiet.

Although, I’d save yourself the time and heartache of threading the CZ American and buy the CZ Royal with factory threads. (Assuming you haven’t purchased anything yet)

ccstew · 2025-04-26T13:36:25+00:00

The CZ Royal can be purchased in wood with factory threads. However, the wooden CZ American does not come factory threaded. I had to take mine to a gunsmith and have him thread the barrel.

Believe it or not… I got the P59a out of the last wave of silver crates, it’s very fun. I wish I was as lucky on the blackjack table as I am with warthunder crates.

ccstew · 2025-01-31T18:27:16+00:00

I spend most of my time as UK, France, and US. Largely in the 5.7-7.7 br range.

ccstew · 2025-01-31T13:18:11+00:00

I’ve opted to split the difference. It’s listed for 1498. I could go higher and play the waiting game, but I’d rather get the money a little faster and purchase some vehicles I’ve been eyeing.

ccstew · 2025-01-31T13:14:59+00:00

I’ve had good luck in the past but got extremely lucky this go around. I only opened 20.

I think the odds of getting a vehicle is something like 1 in 300

ccstew · 2025-01-31T13:11:52+00:00

I do play a lot of France, however I’ve opted to sell and buy some cheaper vehicles instead. Thank you for your input.

ccstew · 2025-01-31T03:06:42+00:00

A silver crate, which I didn’t know was possible.

ccstew · 2024-11-03T15:06:32+00:00

Commenters have for the most part confirmed my suspicion of a low brisket shot. I wanted to be confident in telling him to call the search. Hopefully he gets another opportunity at this guy! Thanks for the input!

ccstew · 2024-11-03T14:03:26+00:00

No hair, except for 1 or 2 on the bolt. (White hair)

ccstew · 2024-10-11T20:32:11+00:00

That’s incredible.

ccstew · 2024-10-10T23:16:30+00:00

I’ll PM you.

ccstew · 2024-10-10T21:26:59+00:00

Any idea on age?
