    New Scope Recommendations for Big Game/Predator Rifle

    Hey All, I have a Tikka T3x Wideland Veil 6.5 cm that is all tuned up. I adore this rifle, but don’t adore the scope. It shoots Hammers through a quarter at 100 all day long. When I assembled the rifle I found a good deal on a Vortex Viper HST. It has the BDC reticle and I liked its ease, and...

    Washington Elk hunters Sound off...

    Dry side for me. I try not to hunt it though. It’s only if I don’t draw in another state. I have struck out so far this year so… I always hunt deer on the dry side, because I’m lucky to have links to productive private land. Some of other days fawn protection work.

    Washington Mule deer hunters ?

    I’m blessed to have quality private ground access. It’s not Colorado, but do your work and you’ll do okay. Last years buck

    Why do rifle hunters use Camouflage ? The few times I’ve used a rifle I never wore camo of any kind.. seems silly.

    I have an obsessive personality. What is the purpose of not wearing camo? I wear camo to attempt to control every damn variable I can, even if the advantage is slim. I like to think in extremes. Would you wear a white t-shirt and sweats on a dry fall day rifle hunting?

    Terrible custom build experience

    What’s right? They make it right, or refund. It doesn’t even “work.”

    22 Hornet for Deer

    Sheesh I had too many bourbon and cokes last night… I read Jack’s book on Bell back in high school and I have bumped my head too many times apparently. Jack didn’t use the 270 on elephants. He gunned up to the 416 and such. “WMD "Karamojo" Bell was able to kill over 1,000 elephants using a .275...

    22 Hornet for Deer

    I know people that have killed deer with a 22 LR. I’m not a fan. Does that make it a deer rifle? Jack O’Connor killed an elephant with a 270. Is it an elephant cartridge?

    22 Hornet for Deer

    I love that we’re arguing if the 22 hornet is a deer cartridge! Good times!

    22 Hornet for Deer

    I watched multiple bucks over 300 pounds this year (both mulie and whitetail) and my Washington was around there this year. My MT bucks was closer to 250. The WA buck fed on the farm and hid in the cliffs and had 2cm of back fat on him. It was a great year for moisture and growth.

    22 Hornet for Deer

    It doesn’t if you use equivalent bullets. Why wouldn’t you use the equivalent bullet in the 30-30 then? Man, let me tell you… I am no lover of the 30-30.

    22 Hornet for Deer

    It’s very different. He shoots a bullet that’s over double the mass, greater momentum, at the same velocity, with great sectional density, and yes it flies like a football.
