    Killing Elk- Caliber vs Caliber

    A little real world experience: I've killed 3 bulls with a rifle. #1- an 8 yard shot with a 300 wm. #2 - a 60 yard chest shot with a 26 nosler. 142 ablr. Dead in the scope. Partial bullet was found at back of rear quarter embedded in the skin. #3- due to a Swarovski scope failure on my 26, I...

    Jason Hairston of KUIU passed away today

    I've been with KUIU since the start. Pretty sure I was the first Arkansas customer. I always thought he was a visionary, and he was. This is a heavy blow to the hunting industry, but not near as impactful as it will be to his loved ones. I'm in disbelief that this happened. I have a fee...

    Evidence of sex naturally attached in Colorado

    3-15 optic

    Shot with the Whiskey 5 Sunday. Initial thoughts: Seemed clear glass The adjustable red dot was nice. A breeze to sight in. I was in a rush, so couldn't test tracking for longer distances, but it moved where it was supposed to during sight in. I found a deal for it for 700. I liked it a...

    New Rifle- Caliber/Load Discussion For Big Game

    Thoughts on your setup.... If you limit it to 300, you should be fine. My wife shoots a 6.5 creedmoor with a 22 inch barrel with a 127 Barnes LRX and I feel comfortable with her on an elk at 500 based on her shooting ability. I have a 26 nosler that I'd shoot at 800 or less of I had to on an...

    The percussion ones. No BS. Are they that good?

    Now I may not buy anything!(Or maybe I'll buy a CA Mesa?)

    I personally shoot a Fierec Ti Edge 26 nosler. That dude is bad ass. But on his price range, from my experience, I'd pick the xbolt.

    Now I may not buy anything!(Or maybe I'll buy a CA Mesa?)

    I have a 7mm08 that has a Pendleton stock on it in an Xbolt. It was the micro hunter version. I had a sling stud come loose and the gun detached from the sling and cracked the wood stock. You could say this was my fault, browning sent me a new stock no questions asked. I had a Christensen...

    Browning Xbolt(280) Experience?

    Experience with 6.5 creedmoor and 7mm-08. .6 moa with handloads in the creedmoor, but will shoot the Hornady precision 143 and nosler ABLR 129 all under an inch. 7mm-08 is at .4 moa. I highly recommend them. The magazine is a polmer, not just plastic. If you handload, you will be limited...

    6.5 Creedmoor vs 300 win mag

    Of the two, I'd get the Creed. If you want to go with a 6.5 that will outperform the .300, get a 26 Nosler.
