    Glassing pad

    Got mine on Friday. Two days of use for pre season MT rifle scouting. I’m impressed so far! Will report back post season. Should have a couple 5+ day backpacking trips on it by season close. Unless I tag out early haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7 SAW

    .145 Freebore (Longer Throat) on the SAW2. Good explanation on this page. Basically it’s optimized for 162-168 grain bullets, which is really the advantage of the cartridge. https://westtexordnance.com/home-extended/special-cartridges/7mm-saw/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    As others have said, a solid 3-9 ish or similar is going to take care of you in about every western hunting situation. SWFA 3-9 would be an excellent choice. Plenty of scope for shots out to 500+ if needed. If you’re going to do the still hunting timber thing, practice getting stable from...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I’ve only used them in 7mm and .308, but at MVs of 2600-2800 fps, they have performed really well for me. Not a ton of fragmentation at lower MVs, but I’ve had excellent expansion down to 1800fps or lower. Easy and cheap to load, excellent ballistics. I see them as approaching bonded bullet type...

    Heavy Bolt lift on Tikka 6.5

    You think it’s different lots of powder causing the MV changes? Hard to imagine Hornady would tweak the load in their factory ammo without making an announcement. I’ve never been a factory ammo shooter, but I guess you’d need to make sure everything you’re using is from the same lot, and...

    Heavy Bolt lift on Tikka 6.5

    This seems like a likely cause. Would be interesting to see some chrono data. I’ve had this sort of pressure spiking happen when I’m running a hand load really close to max pressure. Most of the time is fine, then every once in a while you get a heavy bolt lift/ejector swipe on the brass. But...

    Funny enough I am currently working for a guy that sounds remarkably similar. We’ve been building for 4 years on this place. Sunk 18mil into his “ranch” so far, still chugging along. These guys exist, it’s just hard for me to wrap my head around there being enough people like this to drive the...

    I guess there’s enough people who don’t HAVE to make decisions based on what’s economically viable. Wish I had that problem hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elk after fires

    I purposefully seek out burn areas. The long term benefits are excellent for elk, deer, bears. Many critical food source shrubs like snowbrush require fire to propagate. The low canopy creates lots more feed in the form of forbs and grasses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Without insurance companies, none of it would exist. I wonder about the future of those kinds of places…at what point does the cost of insuring one of those properties go up enough that the construction loans lose their viability?

    Glassing pad

    Thanks for this. Just picked one up. Always looking for multi use items for backpack hunts. Rear bag, pillow, and glassing pad all in one. Stupid simple and awesome idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hubba Hubba performance in late season?

    They don’t do well with much snow load. Especially wet stuff. And as others mentioned, cold and drafty. They are designed for airflow (3 season use) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jim Shockey Film

    I’m not here to make any moral judgement on the man. I wonder how many of us would be considered “a good guy” if most of our life was public, and most of our activities were filmed. No “hero worship” going on here, although I agree that it does happen. I’m not sure it’s any worse in the...

    Jim Shockey Film

    Not sure why it’s posted on his channel to be honest. He’s not in the film or mentioned in any way. Jim’s son produced the film. Maybe just used Cam’s platform for distribution? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What a Legend. Pretty easy to get caught up in the details of our sport and lose sight of the bigger picture. This one really touched me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Once in a lifetime decision

    This thread is going to end up being Rokslide scope drop test porn if that leupold was to blame haha. It should get moved to the drop test forum and permanently pinned to the top of the page. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
