    moving frozen meat cross country?

    I'm assuming some of y'all that make big road trips out west have a lot of expertise here: I just landed a new job and will be moving from TX to VA. I've got 90# of frozen venison in the chest freezer. How best to transport it? (Yeti and ice or styrafoam and dry ice, etc?).

    stocks for an all purpose hunting rifle

    I'm looking at a walnut (Turkish grade I) and synthetic version of the same rifle. Barrel free floated but not glass bedded in both.

    129 SP Interbond vs. 140 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    My standard deer round is a factory 129 Interbond (I have a ton, so not worried about them being discontinued.) With a SD at .264, 2700-2900 muzzle vel, and excellent weight retention, I think it would also be a solid elk round out to 300 yards or so. So my question is: would it be worth...
