    Well that gave me a visual I'd like to unsee.

    Air Lock Industries Suppressor

    ^I really think the only logical answer is to just buy one of each.

    So I need to pickup an inexpensive ML...

    You can't simply just buy the Williams Western Precision set and slap them on? At this point I've ruled out the Wolf and planning to try to stretch to the Accura if my NF scope would ever sell so I can pay for it. The cheapest model I could find is $485 and comes with iron sights and I'd put a...

    Scope Bumper Scope caps

    I like that they lock in place so they don't flop all over when opened. For the price though my $10 rubber bikini works fine to keep the elements out.

    So I need to pickup an inexpensive ML...

    I think for the time being I'm going to go with pellets for simplicity and quick setup and consistency (by me) since I'm new. In the future if I were to draw anything out West I can circle back and make things legal for the local. Powders and sights are easy as long as the rifle itself is...

    Scoped Rifle Case Recommendations

    OP, I have two of these in different sizes. One thing I will point out that I found to be a HUGE bonus on an Elk hunt this last trip is the fact that it has two zippers. I remove my suppressor for travel and fits nice and short in the short version (20" barrel) but don't want to remove it and...

    So I need to pickup an inexpensive ML...

    The loose powder thing was to stay legal in other states, seem to recall reading one of them didn't allow pellets. That's not a necessity for this though, was just trying to make this more than a 1-time use item. I can always switch that up later though, spread out the funds over time and do...

    So I need to pickup an inexpensive ML...

    Thanks, that's the most likely route. Rifle is roughly $240 after shipping plus another $70 for the breech plug which I'll shop around more. I was reading somewhere the Accura may come with two breech plugs and that's $480 so puts it at $410 if it does in fact come with the BH 209 breech plug...

    So I need to pickup an inexpensive ML...

    Edit: I bought an Accura with iron sights pictured below. Original post: We drew a weird hunt in Texas in January that requires a ML. Before I haul off and buy a CVA Wolf V2 stainless I figured I should check and be sure there's no pitfalls. I'd like the Accura MR-X but money is tight and this...

    Tikka 6.5 Creed 20" Load data

    Following on this. Just starting my reloading journey with the exact same goals in mind. Tikka 20" superlight and getting 2535 fps with the factory 147's. Shoots great and love it but a bit more speed to help me with wind would be nice.

    Appreciate the long drawn out posts with your thoughts, lots of value in that.

    Diesel heater suggestion

    Keep in mind some LiFeP04 batteries won't charge, solar or otherwise, if it's too cold. Not sure exactly where the cutoff is but think it's around freezing. More expensive ones can self-heat but that requires power to heat themselves. I just grabbed my AGM battery out of my camper for this last...

    How Far Can Elk See / Spot Movement?

    Depends if you wash your clothes in UV brightening detergent. 😁

    Diesel heater suggestion

    When in constant-on mode you'll have a dial between 1.4 and 5 indicating the estimated kw power I guess. We ran on 1.4 for 7 nights and at one point 3 nights/2 days straight nonstop and used about 4 gallons total for the 7 night trip so a little more than 2 liters fuel per day average. Wife did...

    My man! I love it! Congrats!

    Diesel heater suggestion

    Fuel level would be really nice for sure. Looks like a nice rig, gonna be real toasty in there. Looking at that controller you might be in thermostat mode, it's the left (not power) button. In thermostat mode the glow plug has to come on each time it kicks on and the heater goes on and off...

    How Far Can Elk See / Spot Movement?

    I'm not saying they can't see movement at 600 but I'm willing to bet they simply switched directions without even realizing you were there.

    6CM: 103 ELDX vs 109 ELDM

    I'm not qualified to speak on the data but I can say IMO you're overthinking it. If your rifle shoots it well then I say send it.
