    Savage 110 ultralite

    Thanks for that. I wanted to go Tikka but was under the impression they didn’t have a factory 7PRC. Right or wrong I was pretty set on that cartridge.

    WTB Exo K3 Small

    Looking for an Exo K3 small/short for my kid. Any color is fine, 4800 preferred, 3200 good too. I’ve got a spare 1800 bag and can get a belt/lid from Exo if someone has frame only.

    Savage 110 ultralite

    Can you give some examples? I’m stuck with what I have now and it had what I wanted (20” carbon barrel and folding stock), but may do something else in the future. Every action people said was better was impossible to find or $1000+, barrels were $900, chassis $1600, trigger, etc. I would also...

    $3K what 7mm PRC are you buying?

    I went with the savage ultralight elite. Wanted the hunt26 and 20” barrel, no hassle. Im kind of disappointed in the Hornady thing but apparently federal is as hot as it should be. I don’t have a chrono, just what I’ve read.

    Savage 110 ultralite elite

    I went ahead and did it because of the 20” barrel stock. I’ve only put one box of federal eld-x through it. It checks the boxes I wanted and it’s here instead of in pieces everywhere, waiting on someone or something, etc. 7PRC was extremely difficult to find. I don’t have a problem with the...

    Savage 110 ultralite

    I went with the elite instead of assembling from the normal ultralight to get the 20” barrel and no hassle. Costly but it checked all my boxes, little pop with an ACE brake and a little push with a can, very manageable at 8.4 lbs in 7PRC. Mine did not ship with LOP spacers but looks like someone...

    Western ID Rut Activity

    My advice - learn to tell the difference between cattle and elk tracks on the fly (I can’t except the big ones), bring plenty of water because what little there is is generally rotten with cattle and I’ve found three kinds of fresh turds and tracks in respective abundance - cattle, elk, lion...

    Western ID Rut Activity

    It’s been rough, getting in range of a bugle 30 min after/before sunrise/set is bad enough, trying to get in range of a calf call seems more difficult. The calf was extremely responsive though and fairly easy to track until it went quiet and it got dark. I’ve been hitting the tube 2hrs before...

    Western ID Rut Activity

    You called it @BackcountryIdaho - got lucky in right spot tonight and a calf started chirping about 1915, cow answered, bull bugled one time at 1920 and I guess that meant giddy up because they started moving and he didn’t respond to anything. Calf responded to every cow call and could have...

    New hunter intimated to call elk.

    In my opinion, when it takes 2 minutes for them to find their tube and respond it’s a person.

    BLM Land for Elk

    My experience it’s just like timber in that they are there when they are there and it’s a lot of ground to cover even though you feel like you can see a long way. It’s hard to figure out how much influence the private has on their movement through that country and depending on weather how far...

    Western ID Rut Activity

    I’ve been pretty much all over 31 for seven days and have not heard a real bugle yet. One guy I talked to said he heard one chuckle but the only bugle and chuckle I have heard came from the road at noon and 1500 on the 13th (after a utv shut off). Have seen pics of one bull with cows opening...
