    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Let me give my opinion on this. I have built a bunvh of ARs over the years but am no expert at all. EVERY problem I personally have had has been as i deviate away "mil spec" parts. Not tru mil spec but lets say "quality standard" AR15 parts. Also using "non standard" parts makes it harder to...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Correct me if i am wrong. But it looks like the consensus is a 77gr TMK is GTG on game. I know the TMK is a Sierra. But is there a particular brand or type of ammo you guys are using? Or as long as it is actual 77gr Sierra TMK in a quality load it is GTG? I have a T3x in 6.5 Creedmoor that i am...

    First time reloading rifle

    Thanks for all the good info guys. I have been traveling for work for the last 10 years. Move every 6 months. So my reloading stuff is in storage. We are thinking of planting roots and so I have been contemplating breaking out the press. But it wont be anytime soon. But planning.

    First time reloading rifle

    I ahve done a lot of reloading pistols and straight wall 357 Max over the years. Using a sime Rockchucker. For pistols i didnt trim cases and used a simple Lee powder thrower. I am considering reloading for my 6.5 Creedmoor. I only need to reload about 60 rounds a month, not high volume. I...

    Magnification range for elk

    I am new to elk hunting. Took my first elk this winter and I am toying with the idea of more magnification. Currently using a 2-10 which has been on a few hunting rifles. It is a very versatile range. Worked great in the southeast for deer and hog hunting. But now I am out west and it sits on a...

    Non resident montana elk tag

    Personally i hope not. I have been out here for 10 years doing seasonal work and moving in and out of state. I am not a reasident of MT so I am dealing with being a non resident. But for the last 10 years i have spent more time in MT than anywhere else. I feel like over that time I have grown to...

    tikka superlite with CTR stock?

    I know this is a old thread. But I just put a CTR stock on my T3x Vail which is basicly a fancier Lite. The Vail has a medium contour barrel so it fits the CTR stock channel well. With a Lite barrel you will have a bigger gap. Lite bottom metal fits but has a 1-2mm gap around it in the CTR...

    Non resident montana elk tag

    Thanks for the good advice. One more stipid question. If i put in for a Montana tag and dont get one does it still cost me $1400 or do I only pay if i get drawn? The advice sounds like i should put in for a Montana tag. I spend a LOT of time near Helena and gettin a Montana tag would mean i...

    Non resident montana elk tag

    Non resident montana elk tag

    I have read the Montana regs but still a little confused. I would like to elk hunt 2024 in Montana. I dont think i will get things inorder to be a resident so right now i am looking for info on nonresident elk tag. It looks like it will cost me about $1400 which sucks but is still cheaper than...

    Trijicon Credo 2. 5-15X42 or Leupold VX5HD 3-15X44

    I really like my current VX5HD but have read some of the reports about them. I know it holds zero well enough to shoot some very nice groups with it. But i recall some times struggling to get it zeroed. I chalked it up to wind which it might have been. But i am going to box test it in a day or...

    Trijicon Credo 2. 5-15X42 or Leupold VX5HD 3-15X44

    Have a VX5HD 2-10X42 which i love. But looking at switching things around for a little more magnification. On a 6.5 Creedmoor with main use is elk hunting. But i do enjoy shooting it atlonger range for practice. Had it out at 1000 yards a few days ago. 10X was acceptable but 15x would have been...

    Trijicon Credo® HX 2.5-15x42 user reviews requested

    Is there a reason you dont often use it over 10x? Is it just that you dont often need over 10x or is it the way the scope performs over 10x. I was thinking about switching from a 2-10 to one of these specifically toget a little more magnification.
