I like it a lot. I really like my Iota stock. I don't see them talked about as much as other options. With a 22" proof research barrel, Talley rings and nightforce SHV 3-10 it comes in at 8 lbs 3 ounces. That was without the can on it. It shoots Hornady and Norma bondstrike really well. The...
Only time I've spent there has been hunting. They're getting a bargain. I paid $50 for a resident elk tag a few years ago and had to pay $100 for my wife's this year. I know I'm getting a hell of a deal.
Man, how many Wyoming residents would pay $250 for tags to not deal with NR? Pretty sure all of them would and I wouldn't blame them. Don't give them any ideas 😂.
I'm kinda surprised there isn't Wyoming residents posting WTS Friendship for a week threads. If you already had a hunt planned in a wilderness area then you could make a little extra dough. Just tell them you're not packing anything out for them.
Looks like they ruled that elk hunting is a sport and not a right and that Wyoming does have the right to restrict.
I probably shouldn't have read this thread. Now if I'm hunting next to a Wyoming wilderness, it's going to be awfully hard not to peak in there a little. Doesn't sound like it's...
Yeah you're right. I was pretty sure they didn't. I used to hunt up there a lot and the locals referred to that as the "good old days".

I'm pretty sure there was a similar issue with Kansas in the 90's. They banned out of state hunting until other states around them banned Kansas hunters.
The two custom rifle builders I've dealt with, I went and talked to them in person and discussed everything then and there. I brought them the barrel, stock or whatever I wanted used. I paid them after they handed me the finished product.
I had a friend who had trouble with a custom builder...
A lot of the guys from that area that came up making a living in the oilfield in the late 70's, 80's and 90's were pretty wild. I've always known him to be a good guy.
My dad had a friend who was hunting public in southern Oklahoma, a long time ago. Some guy came in late in the morning and totally molested his hunt. Dad's buddy proceeded to go back to the truck and take the SKS out from behind his back seat and dump a 30 round mag into a dry creek bed while...
I have a Browning a bolt medallion 300 WSM that my dad originally bought in 2004 I think. The barrel is shot out and it needs rebarreled currently. I killed a lot of game with it and it was very accurate.
I put together a custom R700 6.5 creedmoor in about 2012. That thing is a tack driver and...
I've been thinking the same thing and watching the weather. I have a 3rd rifle as well and it's looking better. Like you said hopefully beginning of next week it dumps some snow.
I have a custom 700 I put together about 12 years ago. My best shooting rifle, but I sunk a lot of money into it to get it they way. The WeatherBy 307 would be my choice between your two options listed.
I did a rifle project this last spring and didn't spend a lot more then what your budget is...
My dad had hung a tree stand on some public in southern Oklahoma back in the early 90's. He was in it very early before daylight and another guy started climbing his tree. Dad shined a light on him and the guy said, "guess we're going to be neighbors." He got down at 9a and peed on the bottom of...
Depends on the year and the hunt. Harvesting whitetail at home isn't usually an issue so when I go out west I'm generally hunting for something mature. I have busted a dink mule deer before just to get out of a slump on the last day. I passed dinks last year and ate tag soup in New Mexico.
We...
I don't work directly in the QA department so I'd have to check how long exactly we keep products. We take samples of any product when a new run starts. There is a large QA cage where all of these samples are kept. There are stringent SQF standards that apply to all of these things. There are...
I'm not really either. I just work there. I worked in oil and gas for 18 years before I went to manufacturing. I could see fallacies in some of the processes in producing and completing wells and I'm sure there are some in bottling with plastics. I'm an engineer so I'm a fan of having as much...
