I priced mine out for next year and with all the airfare, three nights in a hotel, bush flights, tags, and cost of shipping all the meat back to NM is around $7,500. Bush flights are the most expensive part. It’s over half the cost of my trip.
Everyone here is better than me. I’ve completely lost five animals over the last 15 years. I lost one deer and two elk with my bow, one elk with my muzzleloader, and one bear with my rifle due to bad shot placement. Never recovered any of them. The worst was the mule deer since it was the first...

Those reasons make sense.
She almost made that trip a two’fer! Nice moose by the way. I’ll be taking my 223AI to AK next year loaded with 77TMKs. Hopefully this new scope will be available by then.
I went to a shooting course recently and targets ranged from 25-1500 yards. Other than zeroing, my scope never went above 8x and lived at 5x for the majority of the course.
Asking the collective.
With it being a lightweight, durable, 0-600 yard scope. Would making it with a 1” tube instead of a 30mm tube to save even more weight be a good idea? Or is that weight savings almost nothing and not worth getting rid of the extra internal adjustment?
I’d be in for one right away. Then two more if I want to replace my NX8s. Only thing I’d like to add is having a removable power throw lever like nightforce offers.
If I just wanted a rifle for self defense in the woods I’d bring either an AR15 or AR10. If those weren’t available I’d buy a semi auto rifle like a browning BAR or a semi auto shotgun with slugs.
A mini tikka action for a 223, 6 arc, 22 arc would be pretty cool. Hopefully @Unknown Munitions is making one of these to pair up with the lightweight rokstok….
I’m a fan. Fire forming sucks but it’s a cool little cartridge. Extremely low recoil, cheap to reload, components are everywhere, and it’ll kill well past my abilities. It’ll be going on an elk and mule deer hunt with me this year. I had it close to 2900
Just to test the limits but Norma brass...
This last podcast seems to be a partial upload. Was long enough to talk about the human centipede but cut off when Rob started talking about the new bipod.
Helps with recoil. In smaller calibers like a 223 I can’t tell much of a difference between my xlr chassis and the rokstok but when I step up to my hotroded 6.5 PRC I can stay in the scope better and the perceived recoil to me is less in the rokstok compared to my xlr.
