    Camping Near Bozeman

    Thats a shame about the Madison. Thanks for the input. What's some good restaurants/breweries around there? I don't own a Tenkara so I should be ok.

    Depot Bay fishing

    We fish with my uncle out of Depoe every year. Just know all of the charters fish the rocks/reefs to the north up by Lincoln City if you bottom fish. Definitely go with a charter out of Depoe Bay not Yaquina (Newport) because they fish the same places and it will be a shorter run which means...

    Camping Near Bozeman

    Since we just bought a house our plans to vacation somewhere tropical will have to wait until next year. I am looking for some input, we are looking at camping or maybe renting a cabin in the Bozeman area but not stuck on area we may do some hopping around SW MT. Is it safe to camp around there...

    Thoughts on Defensive Edge Shooting School?

    This will be my first formal long range class of any kind. Anyone else out there take this class with Shawn? And for those of you that have taken multiple shooting classes, how does is stack up with some of the others out there?

    WTS Warne Mountain Tech 35mm Low Rings 7240M

    Were they too low? What scope did you mount in them?

    Shorter Barreled 30 magnums

    They all make a mess unless they pencil through. Anything making 4000ft lbs at the muzzle is going to be hell on meat.

    Shorter Barreled 30 magnums

    If I could get a 215 going 2900 or even a 225 going over 2800 I'd be pretty happy. Every animal I have shot with a 30 cal magnum I have always been a little disappointed with how much meat I am feeding to the birds.

    Shorter Barreled 30 magnums

    I've been doing a lot of digging around about this topic and I am curious who out there has one and what your velocities are. I know @Ryan Avery has a 30 Nosler with a +P throat which I am considering since I live in the same area and Shawn Carlock is about 20 mins away. I am curious what you...

    143 Grain ELD-X: Yay or Nay

    My PRC Running 143s at 3066fps absolutely wrecked 3 mule deer this year. Furthest shot was 302 yards and the bullet went through and broke BOTH shoulders. They'll kill anything in North America.

    New Year, New Scope?

    I agree and it is going to go back. I shot it again yesterday and it's all over the place. Something is internally wrong. (Yes I checked every screw on the gun, everything was tight.)

    New Year, New Scope?

    I'm just a duck in the water. Haha. I generally beat things like this to death before I finally make a purchase. The Mil thing isn't that big of a deal either but i'd like to keep everything the same. That being said i think Midway had the DMR for sale last summer for like $600 and i wish i...

    Sold Swfa 16x moa new in box

    Is this a fixed power?

    New Year, New Scope?

    I am leaning heavily towards a nightforce or the Burris XTR 3. If an NXS was ffp I would probably have 3 of them. I have good eyes and seeing a reticle hasn't been an issue for me. I killed a bull at 30 yards in timber with my Mk 5 5-25x without issue. Knowing the subtensions are always the same...

    New Year, New Scope?

    I have not considered the SWFA. But I the XTR 3 is intriguing. I'll have to look in to them.

    New Year, New Scope?

    I thought I was crazy or that maybe I was doing something wrong until I found a report of someone else having the same issue and then I saw that same video as well. When it lost zero a second time it confirmed my suspicion. ZCO is a bit out of my comfort zone in the price category but weight is...

    New Year, New Scope?

    I am not the first I have heard of unfortunately. Of course when you have a problem you start looking in to things. I never sent it back because it still tracks perfectly and i doubt leupold will look any further than that. I'm not exactly sure what caused the loss in zero, its on a hunting...

    New Year, New Scope?

    The current scope market has me (as well as many others) feeling like someone at a restaurant with too many options on the menu. I feel like there are several scopes out there in the $1500 range that look identical minus the sticker on the side of the tube and the reticle. I am sure they are all...

    Snow tires- Lion hunting

    +1 for the Coopers. Going on 60k miles and still have decent tread on them.
