There is very limited water in those units. A good water source should have antelope using it. As stated above, the ag fields will have antelope, and probably lots of them. Many of the owners will give you permission to hunt if you ask.
The antelope are pretty spread out and in very low...
I work for a logistics company. Demand for shipping products is still very high and we are struggling to keep up with the demands due to the difficulty in finding and keeping labor.
A lot of the checkerboard is unposted/unmarked and unenforced. Horses are getting pretty bad, but not quite as bad as in the eastern portion of the state last time I was there. Outside of the alfalfa fields, you will find most of the antelope in the mountains and foothills. Don’t be afraid to...
If in a bolt action I would skip the 6.6 creedmoor personally and go with the 6.5 PRC. It will give you a little better wind performance if shooting out to 500 yards. Have you thought about an AR10? If only shooting out to 500 yards you can buy or build a lightweight AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor that...
I took it out to 600 yards today. It shot extremely well. I was able to make 1st round hits in variable winds. With the 18” barrel I’m getting 2660 FPS.
I thought I would share my experience with my new rifle purchase. I wanted an all around rifle that I could use for backpacking, pushing brush, and shooting longish range (600 or so yards).
I like ARs. They are great for hunting brush due to being semi-auto, compact, and can be accurate. The...
Good for you. I hope you enjoy them. My experience has shown that alpha glass really makes a difference when using them off a tripod. Then you can take advantage of the wider fields of view and tack sharp clarity to the very edge of the field of view. If all your doing is handholding binoculars...
If keeping shots under 300 yards - 223 is my top pick. For going longer, I want something with higher BCs and more gas. I like any of the 6.5 creedmoor or 308 derived cartridges.
I have a Piercision Rifle 28 Nosler. It shoots amazingly well.
As far as stainless vs carbon. The carbon barrels are stiffer by weight, not by diameter. I have found my heavy steel barrels tend to be less load sensitive than the one carbon barrel I own, but that is a sample of one. However, the...
For me, between 10 and 11 lbs is where a rifle with good stock geometry becomes much easier to shoot steady off a rest. Less than 10lbs it becomes difficult for me to get a gun really rock steady for a shot.
I’m currently shooting a 223 18” and have taken several deer and antelope with it. Have taken feral pigs in the past with a 223 without issue as well. I used to shoot a 6.8spc and didn’t see any difference in its effect over the 223. Currently running Hornady Superformance 75gr bthp.
The truth of the matter is, you won’t stop a charging bear unless you hit it in the brain or spine. Will a 10mm a 9mm or a 45 penetrate a bear skull? I’m guessing so. Body shots and handguns don’t mix to create fast drops. Handguns simply don’t have enough velocity and fragmentation to create...
Form, not to hijack but curious. Have you had a chance to test the new LRHS? I have a first gen and it’s been fantastic. I’m between a new LRHS or a Tract Toric PRS for my next rifle right now.
