    Rifle Advice

    Form means well. Sometimes his Super Moderator cape gets tangled in his keyboard when he types and it comes across wrong. The 270 will work if you shoot it well. If you want a new or custom rifle - go get one. There is no magic recipe for hunting Elk or most anything, for that matter...

    Winchester Model 70 Featherweight

    I love my Winchesters! I use the 30-06 featherweight and have no trouble lugging it around. Accuracy is 1.5 to 1 MOA with handloads. I'm assuming a 22" barrel on the 6.5PRC - would that just make it a 6.5 creed?

    Custom Dope chart for sfp scope

    The idea that you'd take a snap shot at a distance that requires the hold over is iffy at best. If you have time to read a chart, you have time to turn the magnification up to the usable range for hold over. My hunting rig has a 3-10 SPF with the mil-reticle. In open country I'm walking around...

    Whitetail Timber (Mostly) Scope

    First/Last light will be the compromise with the 20-24mm scopes. A pile of stuff has been killed near and far with a 3-9x40 .

    Good scope for hunting and long range on Bergara B14 wilderness

    Don't sell yourself short - you are 'The guy" on the internet. I will not even look at Leupold. I've chased zero and had erector failures that baffled me before I knew better. Just trying to avoid this: 5 monkeys were placed in a cage as part of an experiment. In the middle of the cage was a...

    Do you have alternative suggestions? What exactly happened to your Leupolds?

    .308 and Elk hunting..

    Any you list will work. With a cup and core, I tend to go with a heavier bullet. Bonded, copper or Partition for the lighter stuff. You will see that it all can work and does. Killing is not hard. Buy a bunch of whatever you pick and really practice (price might drive you to cup-n-core).

    Reloading Setup

    That's a big question that you'll get a million answers on. If you are not sure about how you will like it - go get an inexpensive kit. About any will do. If you are of the mind it will stick and you are inclined to statistics, attention to detail and changed based results (it's a nerdy hobby)...

    Cartridge for new hunter

    Maybe this has been sorted out - I got lost in the 'big wiener contest'. Out of the calibers listed, I would go with 308. Fit is going to be more important than caliber. The right stock, LOP and eye relief will make all the difference. These are things that are often overlooked for new...

    Favorite mtn rifle scope under 2k

    It won't be a popular opinion, but I've has success with the Swarovski Z series. I use the 3-10 with the BRH. If I need to reach out there, I use the glass. They have held up well for me.

    Sold Kowa TSN 884 with 25-60W

    I've been back and forth on this a few times, but now that season is over, I am ready to sell. The scope is in great condition, perfect lenses. I carried it in my pack a few times this season and have pictures of the wear it received, which is very minimal. I am moving to a lighter set-up. I...
