    Tikka 7mm Rem Mag 20” build

    Hey, Im looking at chopping my 7RM Tikka Superlite down to 20" as well. How is this rifle working for you a year later?

    7mm PRC short barrel?

    Polonium-30 is a great choice. I would also take a look at the Diligent Defense Enticer series. Also, if you're not familiar, check out Pew Science for suppressor data before you buy your next.

    7mm PRC short barrel?

    Are most of you going with Carbon 6 for barrels? If not going Pre-fit, how much are your gunsmiths charging the fit a blank on your actions? I've been looking at Proof for a 7RM to 7PRC conversion but they don't make a 20" pre-fit which is disappointing.

    How to glass and hunt muleys in thick timber?

    Hit the spots I scouted that I deemed the best terrain. Found some new spots while we were out there and got 2 spots from some generous people. We put some miles on the boots and set up at first and last light. Unfortunately we only saw 1 doe the second day and 3 does the third day, no bucks...

    How to glass and hunt muleys in thick timber?

    All of these posts are full of solid info. Same information that i've been reading and learning about all year. What @ntrlbrnhunter said just reinforces all that, i'm in the wrong terrain for muleys. I'm gonna have to reevalute the public in the unit and try to find edges and openings. I've...

    How to glass and hunt muleys in thick timber?

    Yeah, Google Earth had a better imagery and I did use the 3D function to give me an idea of which points would actually give me a good vantage. The only thing it couldnt show me was how much the views were blocked by trees. You are right in a glass half full. At least I know the areas that I...

    How to glass and hunt muleys in thick timber?

    One successful pronghorn hunt and one unsuccessful first rifle elk hunt (just got back). Other than that, I am a new hunter. I did find a game trail or two with older deer sign. No rubs and no water. I'm still learning the food sources and only saw some smaller browse in the one area that I...

    How to glass and hunt muleys in thick timber?

    I have been scouting and e-scouting for several months now in preparation for our first ever Mule Deer hunt. I have put boots on ground for 3 separate days dedicated to scouting in our Mule Deer unit and covered the 3 main areas I e-scouted. Out of all the time I put into dropping points on my...

    Colorado Unit 147 Question

    Thats pretty unfortunate to hear considering we already drew tags for the unit. Does anybody have any different experiences in units 140 or 147?

    FNG from HI living CO

    I was a heavy freediver and spearfisher. Started in high school and never stopped until I left home. Worked at a freediving and spearfishing specialty shop for 8 years as well. Definitely miss it but hunting on land has me hooked like diving did.

    First Pronghorn Hunt DIY

    I've read and watched videos about hunting Pronghorn (plus Muleys and Elk). Its alot of information to take in at once. Most people recommend finding a mentor because learning from someone with experience is hard to beat. I don't know many hunters so i'm reaching out to you guys. As as first...

    Colorado Unit 147 Question

    How did your hunt in 147 go?

    Elk unit 66 or 39 Colorado

    I'm hoping this year gets that snow. We're in Colorado Springs so we won't have to adjust to the altitude and the cold as much. Either way, we're preparing for the worst. Cold, snowy weather and unforgiving terrain. She's actually agreed to take days off work to commit to this hunt so im pretty...

    Elk unit 66 or 39 Colorado

    Yup, plan on making some "camping" trips to go out and scout and get a feel for it. I've never hunted Muleys before so i'm trying to read and learn on how exactly to scout for decent areas. It'll be the blind leading the blind but all worth it if we can put in the work and even see one buck...

    Elk unit 66 or 39 Colorado

    Wife pulled a Unit 39 Muley tag for 3rd rifle. I had actually seen posts on another forum about it being an okay unit. Most posts on this thread are saying its terrible. This will be her first hunt so hopefully we can find a good buck. Also worried it may be rough hunt for her first being...
