    First Western Rifle

    As far as the rifle selection goes, I will share my experience. As you will see on this forum, the Tikka T3X is a favorite. They all shoot out of the box, the trigger is good, and they are fairly lightweight. They are also popular because of the amount of customization that you can do to them...

    well kids... that's the playbook right there! adult responsibilities have forced me to choose one quadruped to learn inside and out so I'm focused on elk these days. i'll happily be guy #2 when it comes to deer. hopefully one day I'll get a chance to be hunter #3.

    FNG from Washington West of the Sound

    Welcome! As someone who grew up elk hunting in CO and MT, the western WA elk game is a new challenge. I tried saddle hunting for roosies last year and it definitely felt more like a whitetail hunt. Good luck.

    Boots first time

    You are getting solid advice here. A name brand hiking boot seems like a good option for your hunt. I prefer an uninsulated boot. GoreTex linings make my feet sweat and they end up cold. Make sure you take them on training hikes with a weighted pack. I like archery hunting in trail runners, but...

    Best footwear

    I second what northernalpine said. You are potentially asking a lot of a single boot. It depends how you hunt and where you hunt. For me, I find that GoreTex lined boots make my feet sweat with even moderate levels of activity so now my feet are wet from the inside out and cold. If I'm hunting...

    Washington High Buck

    My wife and I spend most weekends running and climbing around western WA. Having done this for the better part of 10 years in WA, I am still shocked how few deer I see, particularly up high. I know they are out there, but it takes a lot of time and effort to locate them consistently. I still do...

    Tikka 6.5cm with ELD-X question

    Further than I can shoot an animal. Keep in mind that banging steel at 800 yards doesn't mean that is your range on a critter. Figure out what you can hit consistently at the range and then half that. Practice shooting off your pack, tripod, laying down, etc. A 6.5CM is a fine cartridge for elk...

    WTS Ruger American 6.5CM (Gen I brand new)

    I bought this Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor a few years ago and it has never left the safe or had an optic mounted. It has a scratch on the barrel from being moved around in the safe but otherwise brand new with stickers on it. Black plastic stock, matte black barrel, not threaded. Price is $400...

    Private Pilot License advice and info

    Lots of good advice in here. Don't let the comments about cost scare you off too much before you have given it some exploration. While a high cost certainly represents the vast majority of situations, if you are willing to be patient and creative, you might find something that works out for you...

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    I've killed multiple elk with a 6.5CM and will likely do it again at some point. As stated above, shot placement is critical. Most of the guys comfortable killing elk with a 6.5CM shoot significantly more than the average guy and their accuracy and ability to replicate a controlled shot under...

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    Can't go wrong with a Tikka - shoot it just like you buy it and it will be a great gun for a lifetime. There is also tons of aftermarket support so you can put all the custom goodies on it and it will still shoot just as good but scratch the popular itch to "build a rifle". I like old...
