    Sold Ruger M77 MKII Stainless 30-06

    I see you keep moving Up, how about bringing the price down? I’d be interested in it as a project rifle. I already have a stainless M77 that I re-barreled to a 9,3x62 that has done really well in Africa. Getting a new stock and either a rebore to 338-06 or 35 whelen AI or a new barrel to...

    Big Whitetail From Illinois in Basement for over 30yrs

    That was in the golden years for whitetails. Probably went into the early 2000’s Those were pre-internet days, the beginnings of trophy management. Trail cameras were an expensive idea. Land was cheap and accessible. With the social media world now and the relentless comparison to always look...

    Whats a good price for a guided caribou hunt?

    Need way more information! Mountain caribou, Central Canadian, Woodland all cost way more than a basic Alaska hunt for Barren ground…. Also trophy potential factors in. Anywhere from $5k to $20k depending…

    Utah: Wasatch Rifle

    Did you draw a bonus pass tag with max points? or did you draw a random tag with minimal points? If you have max points I would be more likely to return your tag since you can be pretty assured of drawing next year. If you drew a random tag with minimal points I'd have to consider the luck...

    Which week to hunt (archery – 2024)

    Important factors to consider- Are you hunting private land? If so how large? Is this a draw or limited unit? What is you main goal? Kill any elk or big trophy only? Is this a guided hunt? If you have access to a large tract of private land, or if this is a limited/draw unit and you want to...

    Alberta Bighorn Outfitter Recommendation

    I assume that Alberta tracks their sheep harvest. Looking at the stats would be where I’d start to see what areas are actually producing. Then I would look to see who has the concession in that area. Then follow up with that outfitter.

    Where to move?

    I do commend you for wanting children and for your wife to raise them. Not easy in today’s world but very much worth it. There is never a perfect time to have kids so I say get started! It will change your life forever! Looking at the maps, taxes etc two areas that seem interesting to me with...

    Where to move?

    I saw this map which takes into consideration potential income vs housing costs. If you can find a job in a green county you should be good to go It’s surprising how many don’t realize that some “affordable” states do have expensive areas compared to median income. I’d be looking at the...

    What's the most fun a guy can have with $20,000

    I have done a lot of hunts…. Some rifle and some archery. For an archery hunt I would say Greenland musk ox/ caribou combo is legit. The ox will be straight forward and caribou a challenge. I recommend Karsten Lings! South Africa is a shoot, which can be neat to see all the animals and...

    Best path forward

    That's neat you have a 25-06! I've always wanted a quarter bore but already have too many rifles. I'd say you are pretty covered on the smaller caliber with that. The main thing I see missing is a big bore! sell the 300wby and get a 375 for Africa! Unfortunately that wouldn't help in the...

    Best path forward

    Cheapest way to significantly cut recoil is a proven muzzle break. You can have it threaded for a break and timed. Will be a huge improvement, just be sure to wear ear pro all the time. Do you reload? other way is to just build a lighter load with powder/bullet combo What stock is currently...

    G3 Colorado Goat

    It all depends on what you are looking for in a Goat. Trophy hunting and only want a B&C goat then you need the best glass to evaluate at long distance. That will make up for its weight by saving you miles of hiking :). Inches are hard to tell from far away. A good excuse to upgrade gear if...

    Best path forward

    I would sell it and buy something else less recoil, non magnum.... If not I would get a Bell and Carlson composite stock (good value next step up would be HS precision), get a new barrel first if you change the chamber and contour, maybe a 300 prc if you want to stay in 30 cal, but I would...
