EP 594: Salty Guide Sh*t with NMO

On this episode, the enigmatic Nolan Osborne is back. Fresh off his guiding season in Northern BC, we get some stories but, more than anything else, a salty guide rant about what makes a truly versatile hunting rifle and why he thinks the community may be losing the plot when it comes to choosing what to take afield.  NOTABLE QUOTES:  "Whatever happened to being comfortable shooting a rifle that didn't have a 17-ounce trigger, that didn't weigh f&#king ten pounds, didn't have a muzzle brake on it, and actually having some fundamentals with something that's not basically a cheat code."  @nmo  Terminus Mountain Outfitters  Alpine Riflecraft   ---------------------------  DEALS & PARTNERS:  For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.
