    New Mexico 16B - DIY Only

    This my unit, hunted it many years now. It can be many different things, hot, dry, wet flooded just never really know. Some areas are really devoid of what I would call drinking water.... There are some stock tanks but they can dry up super fast. Some Areas I hunt one trip is just drinking water...

    Dedicated Elk rifle??

    Correction it is throated a bit long but he couldn't recall. Who knows maybe its a fluke he just got a super fast barrel but I haven't been that impressed in a long time.

    Dedicated Elk rifle??

    I believe this to be the case as well but I'm on my 3 rd 280AI and can tell you I have never been able to get a 180 class bullet to 7 saum speeds. I don't understand it either. I'm completely happy with my 280 AI, I never said I wasn't. I dont like how the rifle rides the bags and has a great...

    Dedicated Elk rifle??

    Yep. If I’m hunting I take it off but for range work it goes on. Everything I shoot down to .223 has a brake or a can. The rifle is light in the barrel but that wasn’t the point of my post. I wanted to offer my recent experience with the 7saum. Case capacity is similar to that of a 280AI but the...

    Dedicated Elk rifle??

    I'm using RL 23 with the 175 Bergers so its a stiff load, but I was using a 165 Sierra game king over h1000 to break it in and was having the same thing. I'm not sensitive to recoil and this rifle had a good break. It just doesn't seem balanced for whatever reason. As it has a ton of muzzle...

    Dedicated Elk rifle??

    I have a 280Ai and its great but recoil is not my favorite. It has a 24' proof barrel and recoil is more vertical then horizontal into your shoulder. It makes it hard to stay on target. My 300 PRC with 230 ATIPS is much more controllable. I recently was shooting with a friend that had a pretty...

    What action for 6br?

    Go with a big horn origin. I'm feeding 6 Br out of MDT mags slicker than snot. The control round feed helps. I also run a dasher out of my tl3, no tuning and no problems.

    Best horse breeds for roaming mountain trails after big game

    I'm a big fan of Walking horses. They are fast and smooth. I field trial so I have spent many hours in the saddle following bird dogs on them. My best horse ever was a paint mare, she wasn't gaited. Just did everything well and looked out for me. I've rode some nice quarter horses as well. I...

    NM 16B/22 DIY or Guided

    I would at a min hire someone for a drop camp/pack out. I think there very few people that j hangout just to do packouts anymore. I would hurry up, most guides fill up super quick if not already booked.The unit is tough country and can be very hot and dry in September. If you can't get a bull...

    To Reload or Not? 30 Nosler vs 300 PRC

    All things being equal I would say 300 PRC. By equal I mean sammi spec chambers. The 300 PRC has a better setup for longer bullets and takes advantage of longer free bore. The 300 prc was made for a guy like you that doesn’t reload and wants to get into the LR game. That being said give me a 30...
