    Just how much better is the AB Raptor 8 vs 6?

    Was after a 8, but can get a good deal on a 6 locally. Just how much better is the 8 on smaller cartridges ( Creed family, 6GT etc) then the 6? Probably not going to use a reflex on either unless balance is improved on certain rifles. Just after a lightweight hunting suppressor. I have longer...

    WWYD for 2025 Season

    I’ll make this real easy. 2 points in Wy isn’t getting you any decent tags unless you get lucky in the random. 2 Colorado antelope points also isn’t getting you anything decent. That leaves Co deer and elk that can be drawn with 2 points, which is probably going to be a 1st season tag (or maybe...

    Evidence of sex in Colorado

    Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together Straight from the regs. Just leave a skinned out testicle on one...

    What barrel profile/ twist rate?

    It’s personal preference. There are plenty of shorter barreled rigs that still give plenty of velocity at 800+ for reliable expansion. If you can happily carry a 32” barreled rig thru oakbrush or an alder jungle then more power to you.

    What barrel profile/ twist rate?

    ^Because packing a 24” or 26” barreled rifle with a suppressor will have you thinking about nothing else but how much it sucks the entire time.

    Barrel Cleaning…data

    I have not tried C4. Tried eleminator, wipeout and JB. It’s unfazed by those.

    Barrel Cleaning…data

    I think it’s highly dependent on chamber and powder used, some never need cleaned and others you can end up in a bad way without cleaning. I currently have a 6.5 creed barrel that won’t chamber a factory 140 or 147 eldm because of carbon that no amount of scrubbing will fix. Apparently...

    WTS TL3 Prefits, 6 Creed and 6.5 PRC

    I'm splitting the difference and trying 6 PRC so these are up for grabs. Both TL3/SR3 SA prefits. The 6 Creed is a Prefit from proof, 24" sendero contour, muzzle threaded 5/8-24. New unfired, never had a round chambered in it. SOLD The 6.5 PRC was spun up by Alpha Omega, has right at 600...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    After really looking at the pics I think I have it figured out. Blacktail, so we can assume PNW. Which means wet. Which means the buck was probably standing over a puddle of water and the hunter saw the bucks reflection and was actually aiming at it instead of the deer. Here is where things...

    SW Colorado Forage

    It seems the high country bears at least where I’m at are an every couple years phenomenon.There is always a few but some years (feed dependent im sure) they pile up in the high country. 2017 was absolutely nuts, you didn’t hardly have to look to find timberline bears it was like every basin...

    What cartridge should I use?

    I think rem clone triggers work fine for the discerning gentleman who hunts mature bucks and bulls in the fall, but if your a heathen who hunts pregnant cows in Jan/February then you may want a Tikka just because the constant in/out of the heated truck can cause some serious condensation. And...

    Unit 62 Colorado

    Ponds are key in that oak country just for an open spot where you can actually get a shot and see a bear for more than 3 seconds. It’s not hard finding bears up there by any means, it’s hard getting a shot and ID’ing (boar/sow/no cubs etc) in the oak. You can have a big bear walk thru a 10’...
