    Rifle minimalists

    I can see the fun in having multiple guns but I’m kind of a minimalist. I have 2 rifles. My 22-250 and my .270 win. I also have one shotgun - Winchester SX3, and 1 muzzleloader - CVA Accura MR. Every weapon I own has a specific purpose and they work well for me. But, looking at my list, I...

    WTS Helly Hansen Impertech Deluxe II Jacket and bibs

    Yes it does. It rolls up and sticks into the collar when you don’t need or want it.

    New Duck Gun for 2021

    I shoot a Winchester SX3. It’s a very solid gun. I would recommend an SX4. My brother and buddies shoot them and love them as well.

    Advice Request - 20+ PP in Utah

    Off the list of what you could draw I would do the central mountains Manti early rifle. But it’s a tougher hunt physically then the wasatch IMO. If he is limited in hiking ability go wasatch. Both units have a lot of elk and a lot of roads.

    243 for elk

    This.... I shot a 7 mag for several years. Switched to a 270 and bought a 7mm-08 for my kids. The elk never noticed and I have never once felt undergunned. To the OP, your question was not stupid. People trying to shame you on a forum for not shooting a magnum is stupid. I think you made...

    243 for elk

    We think alike... my daughters 7-08 has not bounced off an elk yet... Elk are tough no doubt but they die very quickly from a well placed bullet.

    243 for elk

    We as the hunter control 100% of the shots we take. A poor hit on an elk is going to be a rough road to recovery, regardless of cartridge. Using a magnum as an excuse to shoot distances outside of our abilities, take poor shots through brush, quartering towards us, or at a moving animal is not...

    What is the archery equivalent of a .243?

    I’m curious what exactly sets you off about hunting elk with smaller calibers? Serious question, I’m not trolling you... To answer your intended question, IMO, the .243 with a partition which is what I would shoot an elk with if I had to, would match up with a 45 lb draw weight 25-27” draw bow...

    243 for elk

    For 1-2 elk, Absolutely. I would recommend a Barnes or nosler partition and only shoot broadside shots out to about 350 yards. If the primary roll of your new rifle is smaller game then get one that accomplishes your goals. If you’re planning to replace the stock on your 243 and have a 2...

    243 for elk

    I agree. Elk are not the Sherman tanks everyone wants to make them out to be, until you hit one poorly. With elk and smaller calibers I recommend keeping the shot range moderate to short and using a premium bullet. Place the bullet in the heart/lung area avoiding the shoulder and you will...
