    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    Also, any recommendations on which model of the Tikka 223 to go with? Lite, superlite, etc?

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    Why is the 1-8" so much better than the 1-9"? Seems the Tikka is much better, so maybe I'll just plan on getting that in 223 and then upgrade my elk gun to a Tikka also later. Any recs on staying with .30-06 versus another caliber Tikka? I note that the Tikka .30-06 is 1-11" twist.

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    Do you mean if I can afford the Tikka, or just a 223 in general? The vanguard 223 is a 1-9" twist (the .30-06 is 1-10"). I notice people saying the Tikka 1-8" can handle 77gr ammo, but am not sure why that is. Do you know if the vanguard would handle it also? If I got a 223, I'd likely use it...

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    I'll also mention one reason the 223 seems attractive is I can do lots of shooting without my shoulder getting sore. Shooting a box of ammo with the 30-.06 gets a bit tender and I'm quite conscious of the recoil. So I'm hoping that I could shoot more of 223 without the shoulder soreness and...

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    For this season, I want to be confident out to 400 with some wind. I don't think it will take too much more shooting to get myself there. It would be great if I can get to where I could confidently take a 600yd shot if conditions are good. And I really want to get some more experience with...

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    I don't have a ton of experience shooting it yet at long distance. But I was getting solid groups at 300 when able to do that. And put a shot right on at about 380 using a holdover to finish off my elk. So it seems to shoot well enough. Probably is more accurate than I am at this point.

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    @Formidilosus do you have any thoughts on whether I ought to get a Vanguard in 223 for consistency with my hunting rifle versus the Tikka route? The Vanguard is on sale for $500 at Sportsmans Warehouse at the moment, which sounds nice on my student budget. Don't see any used Tikkas up for sale.

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    I am using a Weatherby Vanguard 30-.06 for elk and would like to start doing this routine to practice, but want something with cheaper ammo if I'm going to shoot a lot. Would you recommend the Tikka 223 or a Vanguard 223 as a practice rifle to match what I'll be hunting with? Or is there another...

    New to elk hunting in Oregon

    I think you ought to read through old forums where this has been discussed, and then ask something more specific if you have questions.

    Rain Pants - Zipped or Non-Zip?

    I'd definitely get something you can put on over your boots if you use them for hunting. Get at least a half-zip. Not sure of your size, but a few good options for reference...

    Rain Pants - Zipped or Non-Zip?

    Full length zippers are great and I like them on high quality pants. I probably wouldn't trust a full zip on cheap pants though. A high zip will still open up enough to let you pull it on over your boots too. My recommendation would be to buy used excellent condition or clearance pants from a...
