    Badlands 2200 upgrade

    Thanks for the reply’s, that’s helpful. I’m a sucker for a deal and bought a badlands mrk 6 on sale for ~$130 from field supply. Used it this year on a cow elk hunt. It was an improvement over my old 2200, mainly due to the adjustability and meat shelf, but still has plenty of flaws. I’ll...

    Experience with Boyds Quest stock?

    Thanks. I do some woodworking as a hobby, so I don’t mind a little sanding / fitting.

    Experience with Boyds Quest stock?

    Anyone have experience with the Boyd’s quest stocks? Thinking about one for my browning x bolt (not many stock options). Seems to check a lot of boxes, lighter weight at 2.3 pounds, vertical grip, reasonable price, etc.

    Ground hunting pressured whitetails

    This is a cool thread. I’ve killed a few white tails in East Texas with a bow, but all on private land in a stand with a pile of corn and such. This is my first year hunting public land where you cannot bait. Area I’m hunting is kinda scrubby, so not much opportunity for a tree stand. Been...

    7 SAW

    The 7 saw definitely looks interesting. Not sure if it would negate some of the benefits, but can you rechamber a factory 7mm08 barrel to a 7 saw? Like an AI chambering.

    3 out of 5 for Colorado First Rifle

    My dad, brothers and I have been going to the same unit in Colorado for first rifle season for the last few years and we’ve been successful for 3 out of 5 tags. 2022 was our first elk hunt together and my brother and I had bull tags. We got there a day and a half early to scout and set up camp...

    CO 1st rifle experience different than prior years

    We went first rifle to the same unit we’ve been the last couple years, and our experience was similar. Activity seemed way down, and we only saw elk the first and last half hour of light. Never saw a bull and only heard one bugle. Luckily we only had cow tags, and we were able to fill a tag on...

    Glassing Optic Upgrade - Sig Zulu6?

    Finally picked up a pair of the hdx 16s and really like them. Tested them out on a recent family vacation to Colorado and was impressed. Spotted a group of elk at ~500-600 yards and could easily count points on a bull free hand. Saw a moose at less than 100 yards and could count nose hairs :)...

    Do I Need Nicer Glass?

    I am in a similar situation with cheap vortex 10s. I hunted Colorado last year and could not tell if a group of elk in sparse timber had a bull from about 1,200 yards. Although it was apparent one was much larger body size. Ended up being a decent 5x6, but we had to hike down a canyon to figure...

    Badlands 2200 upgrade

    I have a badlands 2200 and am thinking about upgrading soon. I’ve had it for a few years and it’s done okay. Mainly use it as a day pack, but have helped pack out two elk with it. I’ve read that it’s night and day hauling heavy loads between the badlands and higher quality packs. In what way...

    Texas 600+ yard range?

    It’s a bit of a drive, but look up 5H shooting sports in Frankston (https://5hshootingsports.com/contact-us/) Daily rate of $35 for shooting 500-1,000. Under 500 is $25 / day.

    PVA prefit sale

    You can find aero solus actions for cheaper than $870. Arm or ally has them for $750. I bought one a while back and it feels like a solid action. Shameless plug, I have it listed in the gun classifieds since I’m going a different direction on a build.
