Update:
Heard from Fierce today. They tested my rifle and it failed to meet accuracy specifications and will be replacing the barrel. They will then test the new barrel for accuracy. While they have had the rifle almost 5 weeks, it sounds like my situation is being resolved with out any conflict.
I’m hoping since it’s been 2 weeks with no phone call that it means it’s something else but I feel you are probably correct. The gun smith I talked to was super helpful and we talked through things.
I mailed my fierce ct rival back and it arrived at Fierce 2 weeks ago. The rifle no matter the scope or shooter would not shoot better than 1.25“ group at 100. I tried 7 different factory rounds and some ammo loaded by unknown munitions. I talked to the gunsmith there before sending and he...
I think you could definitely do a single night out of it depending on your setup. I shoot my bow with mine on all the time. Last 2 bulls I shot I was wearing my kuthroat
I have a Kutthroat and love it. It’s my go to day pack. I got it about 2 years ago. It’s help pack out a couple elk, a couple blacktails, couple turkeys, and a mule deer. Don’t know how much weight I have had in it but it carried a bone in mature Rosie hind quarter, backstraps and day gear just...
Son took his first elk last weekend using a 6.5 creed. Shot was 200 yards using the 147 eldm. He hit a bit low and back in the liver. Elk dropped in its tracks. She picked her head up and a follow up shot to back of the head finished it. Muzzle velocity with the 147 eldm was right at 2700 fps...
My degree is in forest engineering, think civil but specializing in forest applications. I was in professional school for mechanical engineering when I sat down with my advisor and they told
me I would likely have to live near a larger city to have a good job. I switched to forest engineering...
I bought my 9 y/o (now 10) the savage ultralight chambered in 6.5 creed. It has the accu stock so the lop and cheek weld can be adjusted. The rifle shoots lights out. With a Zeiss v4 4-16 and suppressor I believe it weighed around 8lbs.
My wife killed a Roosevelt elk last season with a eldx out of her completely stock Tikka T3x 7mm-08. She was using factory ammo. First shot was at 263 was a bit back. Bull just stood there and let her hit it a second time. He then did about a 60 yard sprint when his legs went out and he piled...
Good luck! It’s been difficult hunting so far this season. Been seeing bucks just nothing great yet. Weather has not been ideal. The rain coming in starting Friday will really help the hunting. The best blacktail hunting is in the nastiest of weather!
This is what I used working in the woods of the Oregon coast every day. I’d even put it on sunny days when I had to walk through walls of blackberries. The stuff is tough!

I apologize I misspoke, it goes through the 10th not the 13th. It’s was proposed at the September commission meeting along with the rest of the 2023 regs.
