    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    I understand the sentiment but this is a rifle that is highly modular (can easily change comb ht and lop). For now, the primary user will be him but it will be passed on down to my youngest when he is of age, my wife can shoot it and i can even take it out. Maybe i should refer to it as a long...

    Oregon’s change to controlled archery deer

    I have talked to quite a few people in my area and it seems to me that rifle hunters support it (both deer and elk) while archery hunters do not. For some reason rifle hunters seem to think this will give them more opportunity, which it wont. After pretty much the entire West side being shut...

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    For those looking to get their kids into hunting early, Oregon offers the mentor youth program. The program allows the kids 9+ to fill their mentor's tag. I believe non-residents can participate as well ( I could be wrong). From my understanding the youth can have as many mentors as you want...

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    That is my plan. Currently he shoots an open sight 22 lr. Then he will move to a scoped 17 hmr, then on to a bolt action 223 I already have and then on to a fitted hunting rifle that will grow with him.

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    Im not sure, but since its built on the 110 action I would think so. It was really a toss up between the savage ultralight and the sig cross. The ultralight is ugly as hell but has a longer barrel and is slightly less weight.

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    Thank you for the advice. I constantly have to remind myself of that when raising my boys. I always joke with my wife telling this is why we cant have nice things.

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    Oh I see it was parenting advice..... He is also not being given the rifle. It will be one setup for his use and his brother’s use when he is of age. His first rifles were a Crickett 22lr and a Henry golden boy chambered in 22lr, which he got the day he was born as did his brother. He is only 9...

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    My wife shoots a 7mm-08 so fortunately I have a tikka t3x chambered in it already in the safe. I think it will probably be the solution for elk. I think the lop maybe a touch long. Thanks for the input!

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    I understand the sentiment but $1200 for a rifle is middle of the road and same with $1k scope. Everyone’s budget is different. If I could afford a custom rifle for him I would. It also lessens the blow knowing that it will be passed down to his 2 year old brother when the time comes. 6.5 creed...

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    They are definitely pricey but worth it. I really hope my son(s) don’t have to deal with constant ringing in their ears at 31 like I do.

    Rifle for my 9 year old son

    I have pretty much settled on the new 110 savage ultralight for my sons first rifle due to the adjustability of fit and budget. It will be shot suppressed using a ultra 7 and will be topped with a zeiss v4 4-16 x50. I’m struggling on caliber. My choices are between the 6.5 creed, 6.5prc, and 280...

    Is your hunting spot affected by fire?

    Just to send this perspective home, I just got off the Archire Fire here in Oregon. Early on in this fire we were told this fire wouldn’t get put out unless the community came together to put it out. What’s this mean? That means foresters like myself, local loggers (many of which had millions in...

    WTB TBAC Ultra 7 30 cal

    Was wondering if anyone had a lead on a shop that has one in stock? Everyone seems to be sold out. Trying to put together a rifle for my son to use for his first hunting season next year and want to get the paperwork started. Thank you

    Oregon fish and wildlife proposals

    My thoughts exactly. They apparently are worried about recruitment so their solution is to cut opportunity Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
