    Are Rangefinders Actually Needed?

    Okay, yeah that's much easier to stomach. I was thinking I'd need to be looking at like $500+ for something I could rely on. Even aside from the idea of the rangefinder just not turning on during a chilly, humid day, I was thinking that with cheap ones I would be looking at an unreliable...

    Are Rangefinders Actually Needed?

    This might be a dumb question, since I have only ever hunted small game and birds in the past. I'm budgeting out hunting gear for rifle hunting this winter, and trying to figure out what I need vs what would just be nice. I don't have a definite budget at this point because my income is...

    Sorta FNG - SW Denver

    Hey, welcome. I'm up in the high country and don't really know anything, but if somehow I end up getting a tag that coincides in location and time with you all I'd be glad to pair up. In terms of ballistics I keep having to remind myself that not everybody is at 9k feet ASL when having...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    That makes sense. All the long distance shooting I've done has been KD shooting on steel so I can check my dope chart to line it up right and the wind (and my lack of skill) are the only variables. At the same time though, it doesn't seem like there's a huge difference between, say, a 120gr...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I'm curious here, do you tend to want heavier bullets if you're trying to push for longer distances with a shorter barrel (16-18") or are there particular bullets that might be lighter than some other options but expand and penetrate well at lower velocities so they perform better than the FPS...

    New Colorado Mountainish Man

    I'm up in the mountains west of the Continental Divide. I don't want to be any more specific because with how small all of the towns are here it would make me too easy to doxx since I use the same username everywhere (because I'm bad at remembering what username I used where).

    Tikka t3x lite stainless barrel threading

    Thank you, that's very helpful. Since I've got the Raptor with the 2" narrow reflex I can't really use very much of a collar.

    New Colorado Mountainish Man

    Thanks! I just remembered to say that I am also potentially interested in hunting in PA, although I'm not really familiar with their wildlife or laws. I've got some friends in PA that I go to visit fairly regularly, but it sounds like it would be a lot harder for me to get a tag for anything...

    Do you actually use the safety in a bolt rifle? I don't.

    I haven't hunted with a bolt gun, so maybe I'm out of my element here, but when I'm hunting with a shotgun or doing move and shoot competitions with my AR, the safety goes on until I'm getting on target. If I fall and faceplant, I don't want the firing pin dropping even on an empty chamber. I...

    Tikka t3x lite stainless barrel threading

    This is something I've been interested in. I've got an AB Raptor suppressor with a 2" over-the-barrel section with .75" diameter. I'm looking at getting a 6.5 Creedmoor non-fluted barrel to rebarrel my T3, anyone with experience on the lite barrels know how far back I could go while still having...

    New Colorado Mountainish Man

    Hi, I'm just posting my new guy thread here, I'll probably mostly be lurking unless I have questions because I don't have any informed opinions worth posting. I haven't done any hunting aside from small game, pheasant, and goose in the past, but am hoping to start going after big game in the...
