    Bipod for Horseback elk hunt?

    Lots of good recommendations. I like the spartan and the detachable atlas. Got a gunwerks bipod for this year. Collapsable shooting sticks (i.e. hammer) are a good option to keep handy in the daypack. Good luck on your hunt. >>>——JAKE——>

    Elk Rifle

    I’m a big fan of the 300 PRC. I had a fierce rogue that shot Hornady PH very well. Sold it to a good friend. With a good brake, it is very manageable. I like the APA 3 or 4 port brakes. Sometimes I think a 22” 300 PRC with a NF is nearly perfect for a one-gun NA29 rig. >>>——JAKE——>

    Swarovski z5i+ 3.5-18 x 50 testing

    I’ve been around here for a minute and I wouldn’t drop my scopes on purpose. I do appreciate the drop testing by everyone else, though. >>>——JAKE——>

    Eberlestock…. Anyone using a tactical pack for hunting?

    Yup. Won’t do it again. Weight and frame are important… unless you are truck or stand hunting… maybe. >>>——JAKE——>

    New Rain Gear Thread

    I love the Kenai jacket, but…. it shines when you are active not static. Switch that for the Superdown pro (size up). I assume the Superdown burner would be even better for durability and its weather rain resistance. (I don’t have one, though… not at $800). I sized up on my Superdown pro...

    6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08 for 600 yards an in?

    If you are not stuck on a short action, 25-06 and 270 are good options. Between the two, 7mm if elk on the menu, 6.5 if not. 6.5 is adequate for elk, but I’d prefer the 7mm-08. A good brake or suppressor and recoil will be nearly nonexistent. >>>——JAKE——>

    Best Bullet GR Weight for Black Bear with 300 WM

    For black bears, if I was shooting copper, I’d opt for the 150 TTSX. However, I agree with the others that BBs are not as tough as most believe and a cup and core bullet would be my pick. I don’t think the 215 Berger is the wrong answer for any NA big game… well, maybe the biggest bears, bison...

    TOP 3 rifles

    I passed on the XL7 30-06 when I got my first rifle at 14 and got a M700 BDL .270. I wish I’d have gotten the Marlin. At the time, the M700 was on sale for $420 and the XL7 was about $100 or so more. The Marlin was a great build. >>>——JAKE——>
