It makes a difference. I have an omega that I run exclusively with the brake. Not sure on percentage or any statistical data on recoil difference but I can tell on my 300 prc, 308 and 6 arc that there is less muzzle jump.
We had 6 or so elk killed a few weeks ago with ELDX ammo out of various calibers- 300 win, 7 prc, 30.06 and 6.5 prc. Most notable to me was a spike elk shot at 275 yds with the 30.06 and eldx combo in the neck. Wish I would have taken pics and documented it but the side of the neck that took the...
Left the local utility company (Journeyman Lineman) after 7 years. Literally cut my earnings 50% ($250k to $120ish) because I was losing my soul to work. Started contracting doing the same thing but just 40 hours a week. Been able to do more traveling, hunting and family time than I thought I...
The better the story the bigger the trophy. A month long last light last day spike story is just as cool as a first day giant bull bugling coming to calls. Now I think the opportunity being otc or a once in a lifetime tag add to the story also. Killing a mega bull otc is crazier than a once in a...

Bulls were screaming sept 2nd in southern Idaho. Seen a bull bugle sept 1st but never heard since we were watching through a spotter. Killed my bull sept 3rd after listening to him bugle and thrash brush. Heard 60-70 bugles in a 24 hour period from 14ish different bulls.
LEGistics (logistics) are much more important on solo hunts out west. It is your duty to honor your game animal by getting it out and preserving the meat as best you can. If you are a backcountry stud and can haul 100+ lbs out in a few trips for many miles then kudos to you. I wouldn’t plan that...
If you are tight on space I have ran the bakcou cooler bags the last two seasons. You can literally crawl inside them they are huge but fold down to the size of a large lunchbox. Hold ice for a few days. Not necessarily budget friendly but they work. I have used the big Walmart igloo cooler for...
Selling my Vortex baby razor 1st Gen. This is the 11-33x50mm spotter. All original box, soft cover, lense caps are included. I am missing the rubber eye piece most likely from the phoneskope adapter coming on and off. The phoneskope ring is also included. Few scratches on the spotter body but...
