    Anyone shooting or reloading .300 Savage?

    Yeah, I have some vintage Winchester and Remington Factor ammo from my Dad but I hate to shoot it....call me nostalgic. I did see Brownells has casings.

    Anyone shooting or reloading .300 Savage?

    I happen to have a .300 Savage from my Dad in an old Remington 700. I remember shooting it as a kid and it was a tack driver. I want to dust the cobwebs off and work up some reloads. I know factory is still available but limited to 150 and 180 gr bullets and it can be hard to find. Since...

    Buying new elk rifle

    Well, in that case, I might go with something you don't have. Maybe 6.5 prc or 6.8 western or even 300 prc. A 26 Nosler or 28 Nosler is another one that would be fun to play with depending on your preference for 6.5 or 7 mm bullets. Of course, ammo might be a problem for those calibers...

    Buying new elk rifle

    I would ask what you are using now? i have a .270 Win. Ruger M77 tang safety that I have been shooting since 16 YOA that my father gave me. Are there possibly better calibers and more accurate guns now? Yes. But, I have never lost an Elk, Deer, or Antelope to that .270 and rarely had to...

    Colorado Northwest Virtual Meeting 2-15

    What I want to know is what the science and numbers show (hunters, recreation, animals taken, population objectives, habitat support numbers, etc.). The problem is complex and involves competing interests, changing variables (hunters, private property, habitat loss, hunting pressure...

    Late season back country hunt

    In addition to all of the comments born from experience that have already been made, let me add that driving light weight tent stakes into the frozen ground in below freezing temperatures is definitely a "no go". Listen and heed the comments of caution....back country in the winter will kill...

    Disappointed in OnX

    + 1 for GAIA. Similar experience with trying them all several times over the years but returned to GAIA 4 seasons ago and haven't looked back. Happy with the various layers, off-line use and reasonable price

    Sold Sirui VA5 Fluid Head

    LOL... Your price shipped is good! I was initially skeptical of all the hype about the VA-5 but after using it for 3 seasons, there is no question it is top notch.

    Sold Sirui VA5 Fluid Head

    Why are you selling it? I have one and love it and could not find anything that compared to it. Admittedly, it is heavy compared to some of the light weight options but it has a smooth pan and easy to adjust. Just thought I would ask since I found it to be a great head and definitely...

    Sold Slumberjack Packframe Rail Hauler 2.0

    LoL....I still have it! I have one I use all the time because of the versatility. Thought my son could use one but he decided otherwise.

    The Front Range

    Many have already said it: expensive, crowded, single major North-South highway is nearly bumper to bumper from Colorado Springs to Wellington, any commute will suck, and mountains are full of people hiking, skiing, fishing, camping and hunting. I commute once a month between Cheyenne and...

    Possibly pneumonia?

    Disappointed in OnX

    I know this is about onX, which I did use a few years, as well as Base maps. IMHO the Gaia GPS app is much better. Gaia does not provide hunting statistics or draw odds but it does have layers for all of the state game management units. Never had a problem with losing way points, disappearing...

    Hoffman Mountaineer Pac Boot Review **Updated 1/30/22**

    These are pac boots so they are heavy and for cold weather. They will work in the temperature range you are thinking. They work well for sitting, ice fishing and still hunting. However, they are not meant for long or difficult hiking as they do not have a stiff sole or shank in them. I do...

    Was the turret customized or is it the original?

    Freighter pack as day pack?

    I sometimes use a freighter pack with 2 dry bags strapped on to it as a day and multi-day hunting pack. If you get a freighter with a folding shelf, you can use it as a day pack with one dry bag attached or none. I like using the Slumberjack 2.0 hauler for this. Depending on the season and...

    Struggling to see the point of 6.5's

    6.5 might be more efficient given a short case and less powder, but the .270 is not a hard kicking rifle. I am not convinced that the incremental benefits of the 6.5 over the .270 is enough for me go buy a new rifle and reloading dies. I am also not convinced any big game animal in the lower...

    does anyone only carry 1 knife for hunting

    Glad I am not the only one that is a Spydie fan...while Benchmade and othere are good knives, I have always liked that big thumb hole.
