    WTB Tikka 22 inch 6.5 PRC or 300 WSM Prefit or Takeoff Barrell (lightweight is a bonus)

    Oh, well, I wouldn’t do it then. There is factory ammo available but it really shines when hand loaded.

    WTB Tikka 22 inch 6.5 PRC or 300 WSM Prefit or Takeoff Barrell (lightweight is a bonus)

    Keep your standard bolt face and go with a 6.5x284. For cheap, you could pick up a 6.5cm takeoff barrel and have it rechambered. That is, if you’re not ocd about having the right stamp on the barrel lol.

    Elk experiences with 6.5 PRC and 156 EOL

    HA! I’m calling bs on a 215 blowing up and not penetrating. I shoot a 300rum and have killed a bull at 60yds with the 215 at 3100fps and it never blew up. It exited, in fact, just like every other elk or buck I’ve shot with them out to 605yds.

    Are we over loading when we should be under loading? 6UM<300WMS?

    This is exactly what I do 😂

    SWFA Black Friday

    Welp, I ordered the 3-9. My first SWFA, and also first FFP and Mil scope. I’ve always been a MOA guy. Am I gonna be converting everything to Mil now? lol

    What is the ELD-M, Berger, TMK of muzzleloader bullets?

    209 primers are still not legal in Idaho.

    SWFA Black Friday

    I don’t always crank it to 15x but when I have a stationary critter at 600+, I like the extra magnification but I suppose at that point, the 9x would be fine…

    Those of you hunting with the 3-9, how far of shot are you taking? I dont usually use less than 15x for longer range work.

    Top 5 Food bars while backpacking

    I pretty much live off elk jerky and smoked cheese during hunting season. I save my elk rounds from the previous year just for jerky.

    Tikka 300 win mag rebarrel

    I’d go with a 300wsm. It’s perfect for a tikka when ran as a long action. I had my daughter’s Tikka factory barrel throated for 215 Bergers and had them going 2950 with great accuracy but decided she didn’t need that much oompf so it’s now shooting 200.20x Bergers at 2960 and recoil is actually...

    Daughter’s WA bull

    Having mom involved will definitely help it be organic. Keep it fun and interesting is about the only advice I have. Good luck!

    Daughter’s WA bull

    She had her first deer tag at age 14. We didn’t get after it too hard. She hunted a few days and never filled her tag, which she was fine with. I didn’t try and push it on her the next year, which she skipped. The next year at 16yo, she wanted to try again and fell in love with glassing for...

    Daughter’s WA bull

    Long action 300wsm with handloads. I throated it for 215s but settled on the Berger 200.20x at 2960fps. I moved her up from the 7mm-08 she had because we’ve been faced with longer shots lately (462 & 551 on her last bulls)

    I wish you could post videos in here because I have good footage of the shots with the trace.

    Spare Headlamp?

    I always have 3 on me. One on my head and two cheapos in my pack. I’ll gladly carry a couple ounces extra in case something happens.

    Daughter’s WA bull

    Opening day of 2025 WA rifle elk season was pretty much the worst weather I can ever remember hunting in. My daughter, Whitney and I actually had to walk away from a legal bull at 380yds because it was blowing rain sideways at 40mph. We couldn’t keep water off the lenses of any of our optics...

    7mm-08 or 308 recommendations

    My older daughter has killed a couple blacktails with the 120 BT. It kills great. After seeing your praise for the 150 ELDX, I loaded up a bunch over BG and converted it to long action. I’m pushing the 150s at 2865fps. My youngest daughter killed a mulie this year with it and I was really...
