    I'd like to thank everyone on their input, it made shopping a bit easier when it came down to final decision time. I'm now obsessing over optics choices lol. [emoji41] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    We had a great trip. Saw plenty of animals, I ended up killing a buck on day 3. Stepdaughter struck out. We would go again , just a little later I think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Oh man, I wish we could have taken a grizzly, but we were all non residents! We would have taken a bear or 2! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Yep, we had a resident bear who would drop by every couple of days. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    40 Mile or Brooks Range

    It’s an incredible highway in this spot, foul weather pushed them thru the week prior and we picked off stragglers. As weather degraded at the end of our 10 day stay, we had more start showing up. We got home and one of the guys noticed on MeatEater, they were on the same exact lake in 2013...

    We did north slope with BRA in 2018 and had a very comfortable camp. Bulls were scarce, we missed it by a week and left a few days early before the next big push. We managed 3 bulls out of 8 guys. Marksmanship was 1 factor for 3 hunters, fewer than anticipated animals another. Half our crew were...

    Brooks Range, in assuming you mean north slope? North slope can be feast or famine, as you will be hunting a migration and lots of factors come into play... mainly weather and how it pushes the migration or stalls it. 40 mile herd is a bit more static, and 40 mile air has an excellent...

    To be honest, I'll probably never take a poke to 500 yards. I'll likely try and get closer. What kind of options are you talking about with respect to mods on the Tikka? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Well, I have my caliber figured out. After alot of advice and some thinking about how I hunt.... not from a bench..... and reasonable expectations of my shooting ability and matching that with performance out of a hunting round..... I am settling in on the venerable .308 Win. Hunting situations...

    I'm located in southeast Michigan, but hunt all over the state. Love my 7mm Mag, but it's heavy and overkill for deer. My primary motivation is an all around travel rifle that shoots and kills well. I've killed piles with the 7mm Mag. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Definitely something to chew on. I figure the 30.-06 and .270 is awfully close to my 7mm Mag, why I'm not taking a close look at those 2. 330 yards with my 7mm Mag, Aug 2018 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    I'm liking what I'm looking at in the Kimber Hunter and the Tikka T3x. Likely it will be 1 of these two offerings. Calibers, keeping in mind I am not planning on hunting beyond 500 yards, there are suggestions on 6.5 CM, .308 W, .30-.06, .270 W. Realistically, where is the biggest bang for the...

    Price cap isn't set in stone, I just wanted to keep away from guys throwing rifles my way that are well beyond what I'm willing to spend. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    I looked at those, but really don't want to spend just that much and wish to stay away from a long action. I'd just hunt with my 7mm Mag and swap out the stock to a synthetic if I were to pick up a 30.06. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
