    .308 or 6.5 creedmoor

    I was told by several people it was made illegal. Just goes to show I should’ve done more research

    .308 or 6.5 creedmoor

    I know this has probably been beat to death but I wanna be convinced which way to go. I live in Colorado so the 6.5 creedmoor can’t be used on elk. I already have a 300 wsm for elk and a 7mm rem mag but my 7 mag isn’t very accurate. What I want for this rifle is accuracy and the ability to be...

    Colorado second season boot insulation

    We saw nothing. Everyone we talked to also saw nothing. It was a late rutt so they were way up there and it was decently warm during the day. I wore my uninsulated boots but was glad I had my insulated ones too

    300 wsm 1:11 twist bullet recommendations

    So I was gifted a Sako 300 wsm and need to get new bullets as the old ones were stored in louisiana and over a decade old. I can’t figure out if the 1:11 twist will stabilize a 180 gr bullet for elk and I would rather not waste money or time figuring it out as my hunt is at the end of the month...

    Is a hot tent needed for second season rifle Colorado?

    Any recommendations on stoves? Was thinking about a seek outdoor stove since they are so light. My buddy is thinking of just getting a hot tent off Amazon. Next year I’ll likely be getting a better tent to company the stove but I will cut down on the costs as much as I can

    Is a hot tent needed for second season rifle Colorado?

    So I will be hunting vail area in second season rifle and from my other posts it seems like you can’t really predict the weather here. But from those of you who hunt second season in Colorado, would you say I need a hot tent? My current set up is a zero degree sleeping bag, insulated sleeping...

    Kuiu Axis Hybrid jacket or first lite uncompahgre foundry jacket

I’m stuck betweeen the kuiu axis hybrid jacket in valo and the first lite uncompahgre foundry jacket in cipher. I know the camo doesn’t...

    Kuiu verde or valo for Colorado elk and muley?

    So I’m looking at two jackets and one is a first lite. I’ve heard about issues with durability compared to kuiu or Sitka. Do you have any experience with them? Both the kuiu and first lite are on sale so unsure which would be better.

    Meindl eurolight or comfort fit hunter insulated?

    So I just got the comfort fit and they are a little tight on the sides and I have an ever so tiny heel slip (maybe 1/8 of an inch). Is this normal for the break in? I know they are pretty stiff boots. The heel slip is ever so slight, like the pressure isn’t on the heel anymore and I feel a...

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    Gotcha, I’ll go ahead and try and hand tighten. It seems like it’s pretty hard to overtighten the screw by hand with a screwdriver. I might ask the gunsmith at the shooting range if he has a torque wrench too and if he could tighten to spec before I shoot

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    I don’t have a torque screwdriver. Is that necessary to make this correct? Or just hand tighten it is fine

    What non-hunting podcasts do you listen to?

    Tooth and claw… it’s a podcast about animal attacks. I find it very informative and honestly… one of the funniest podcasts I’ve ever listened to. The attacks aren’t funny but the commentary truly is. It’s run by a bear biologist, his little brother and his little brothers friend. So you have the...

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    Think one month is enough time to shoot it before my hunt? I’m a good shot normally so this 7mag has thrown me for a loop

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    Also, after talking to my dad he said he hasn’t put more than 10 rounds in the rifle since owning it because of one shot kills so I bet fouling isnt the culprit. I think this rifle wasn’t made for the elk rounds I’m using due to the rifle twist. I’ll make sure everything is tight before I shoot...

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    Yeah, that’s why I’m on this thread because I’m not happy with them haha

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    I guess at the end of the day, the 2” grouping I’m getting isn’t terrible for a big body animal like an elk, especially since I’m hunting in heavily forested area
