    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...

    Can’t beat the price of an OnX annual membership. It’s even nice for when your significant other wants to go on a hike and you don’t trust them leading the way!

    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

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    It’s an A7 300 wsm. It’s been used to kill an elk so the rounds are good. I was more asking about non monolithic rounds for the 7mm rem mag

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    After research it looks like the Nikons do fail. Unfortunately I’m trying to not buy another scope since budget is tight and I’ve already dropped co much money on other gear to get ready. I think I’ll just get that sako with the trijicon already on it and practice a few times. A month should be...

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    The scope is solid, the Nikon buckmaster is what we have in half our rifles. I’ll check the screws though. Do they need to be torqued or just make sure they are tight?

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    So lead sled can throw off accuracy? Also I looked at the barrel end and definitely see copper fowling. I shot from a lead sled a month ago with a different round that was actually too heavy of a grain for the rifle twist. I think I’ll go ahead and fly the sako out here also just in case. If I...

    Ruger M77 MkII 7mm rem mag trouble

    Optic is a buckmaster scope nothing fancy. This rifle has killed so many deer so idk why it’s acting up now. Now I’m worried the stock is damaged. I’ll have to look. Do I need to flex the stock to look for cracks opening? Do you think it could be copper fowling as well?

    Meindl eurolight or comfort fit hunter insulated?

    I tried on the danner pronghorns and they were tight in the instep and the crispi’s I tried on were just huge volume wise. How do the comfort fits stack up to these other brands?
