    New Mexico Elk Draw 2022

    Hell yeah buddy, all wilderness in 16B no road hunters messing with you. Driving around listening for bungling bulls playing the public land game. Hike in hunt, try to kill a good bull and pack him out. Gonna be tough, but do able for sure.

    OTC Mule Deer

    So basically in Montana if you are wealthy you will get to hunt on public land and if not your odds are lower of getting to use state Lans. That seems like it is illegal or should be. Everyone applying from out of state should have an equal opportunity to get a tag. That's BS l, I hope the...

    OTC Mule Deer

    Not sure I have ever fot to hunt over the counter mule deer always had to put in for a draw here in New Mexico. I heard about it, but I have been hunting here for 20 years. Only bad thing about over the counter is the impact it has on the herd size and quality of bucks. Yes opportunity to hunt...

    Non-resident elk hunters breaking point.

    I waited 18 years to draw the tag I gor this year as a resident in NM. A mature bull rifle tag in a great unit. Actually I have never been able to hunt a bull elk with a rifle and I have been putting in for I believe 20 years. Land owner unit wide tags in this unit fo for 28k and they don't even...

    Elk rifle preference

    The big 30's are the king of elk slaying with the right bullet/shooter combo. A good 7mm RM or 28 nosler with heavy for caliber bullet will get her done to. It's really all aviit practicing further than you want to shoot and then the shorter shots are easier in my opinion. A good set of sticks...

    Ideas for lightweight rem 700 300wm

    I almost would like a 300wsm or 7mm rem mag, but with loading components being so hard to find and nor outrageously priced. I was leaning towards just taking some weight off the old girl and giving her a new barrel in the process. I do see what you are saying though. You have any thoughts on...

    Ideas for lightweight rem 700 300wm

    Man looked at LRIs fluting and they have some great looking patterns. Does the claim of no accuracy decrease really hold up with some of the really deep aggressive patterns?

    Component availability

    I just want to make some bullets to practice with and hunt. Not one shop near me has had powder in at least 18 months. No joke Does the Ukraine army use 5.56? If not isn't that a point at which the company would have to reconfigure for 7.62. The point i originally getting at was aimed more at...

    Ideas for lightweight rem 700 300wm

    I like the rem 700 it has been good and taken everything from pronghorn, oryx to elk. Barrel is getting long in the teeth. But I can't lie I also like the idea building a unique rifle. 7.5 to 9 lbs seems to be the heaviest I want to go with scope included. I am a remington or 700 fan. But the...

    Component availability

    But some ammo companies can send millions of rounds to the Ukraine. Not that i am against helping them. But where the heck did that ammo come from during the Great shortage. Leads me to believe product is being with held to drive up prices or some crazy scheme ls like that.

    H1000 or substitute

    I know this has been talked about here somewhere but can anyone help me to find H1000 or a good substitute. I need it for hunting season next year. I am on fumes here and have had no luck finding any for about 2 years. I just can't pay $100 bucks a pound. I see people post that it is on site and...

    Ideas for lightweight rem 700 300wm

    Have remington 700 sendro, the original model and I want to lighten her up. Been packing her around for about 15 years here in NM. Was looking at carbon wrapped barrels. But I don't have much experience with them, are they worth the 3 to 400 more for a blank. I mean accuracy wise? Any stock...
