    floater pin preference?

    thanks, i shoot a lot so if i ended up making the middle pin my marked slider i would have a pretty good idea of where the top pin and bottom pin would be yardage wise. my main thought is with the bottom pin as the slider as i have always done in a hunting situation doesn’t allow a solid...

    floater pin preference?

    Just getting done installing new strings on my bow and trying a new arrow out for the season and my mind started to wonder off into the "maybe i could do something different" As I am going to have to adjust my bow sight / tape for the new arrows anyway, i started to consider changing which pin i...

    elk knife: iron will k1 vs argali carbon thoughts

    thanks, i went down the replacement blade options years ago when i was guiding whitetail hunts and while they are nice its not the path for me; i dont like throwing away and dealing with old blades for the convenience of having a sharp one handy. i much prefer a knife i can keep a lifetime and...

    New arrows

    i am a big fan of heavy arrows and have been using injections and or fmjs for awhile but had good success with both gold tip pro hunters and carbon express maximas. i walked away from the heavy slow arrows for 3-4 years before i came back to the dark side. i do miss the flatter trajectory...

    .270 for Elk?

    have personally watched 3 elk fall to the 270 and i would argue anyone that thinks a 140 gr accubond at any reasonable hunting distance isn’t more then sufficient

    rebarreling 243 to 7mm08 worth it?

    thanks for all the reply’s. Agree i could purchase a more entry level rifle for the same price as rebarreling which i knew going into this. really like the layout of the 70 featherweight figured getting a shortened barrel on it and in a 7mm08 would get her back in the woods. also saves me from...

    rebarreling 243 to 7mm08 worth it?

    thanks, thinking the same thing. dont necessarily need a top notch barrel but at the end of the day the slight increase will be peace of mind if nothing else. 21 years of hunting the area and furthest rifle shot was 115 yards here, most coming 35-75 yards so top notch accuracy isn’t a premium...

    rebarreling 243 to 7mm08 worth it?

    first post but long time lurker, good to be aboard! i am contemplating having my winchester model 70 featherweight (243 win) rebarreled to a 18” 7mm08. my understanding is the 243 to 7mm08 swap should be as simple as just the barrel swap? need to track down a decent smith in my area but trying...
