Have you used the sling as a shooting aid while hunting game, large or small?
Which sling do you prefer, and why?
Normally I try to find or make a rifle rest, often it's my backpack, sometimes it's a handy log or branch or even a rock. I've also used bipods and shooting sticks. But the good...
I have not tried Superformance in my 30-06, but have happily used it in the 6mm Creedmoor where it performed very well.
For the 30-06, I'm still using H4350, with good accuracy, and it boots the 165's out at about 2940 fps, from my 24" Remington rifle.
Some folks still seem to think that the...
Get in where the anti-hunters can't find you and deliberately try to ruin your hunt. Happened to me several years ago. On opening morning, a woman hiked into the basin where I'd set up, I was all alone, enjoying the mountains, contemplating hunting a buck...

Grizzlies are awesome, have seen a few. Shot one.

Waiting for more info. I understand that there are some folks...

Still need good tires, and of course a good driver is the best way to winter safety.
Most of the vehicles my wife and I and our sons have had over...
Thanks for all the info guys, appreciated.
In the past when I've used a 7mm Rem Mag, I've typically used 160 - 175 gr bullet, and I may do so again, as I have a fair stash of them on hand.
However, this time I want to try the 140's. When I've dabbled with 140's in the past, I found them fast...
In just the last few years my 30-06 has been used to take:
elk
mule deer
black bear
pronghorn antelope
wolf
grizzly
It did just fine on all those at ranges from 40 yards to 340 yards.
Most of those were taken with the 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 2940 fps, from a 24" Remington barrel. I...
