I’m trying to figure out how you worked it to get 11 tags in 4 states, unless some of those were depredation.

Seems like I’m doing something wrong because a lot of people on this site are putting up insane numbers of animals during hunting seasons, and my state’s hunting license allows only 2 antlered deer and 3 antlerless, or 5 antlerless. I need to learn how these people are getting onto so many game animas.

I had 3 AK tags, 1WY, and 4 CO tags this year either otc or very high draw odds.

What's the verdict on the 115 Bergers so far? I've generally had great results with them but had one less than ideal result last month that has me potentially rethinking things here.. Would appreciate any views you may have on sample size and results for the bullet..

See my posts in the 6mm kills thread with impact velocities, impact locations, animals distances travelled when hit, etc. Tried to document it for awareness.

Anyone see this new rifle from Nemo?

Electus Bolt Action Rifle | Ultra-Light Mountain Rifle

The Electus delivers 6.5 lb ultra-light performance with a 20 in carbon wrapped barrel and folding stock. Built for precision and packability in the mountains.

A rokstok with a folding mechanism like this and maybe even an adjustable cheek piece sounds like it would be pretty awesome.

Folding would be pretty sweet but I think an adjustable cheek piece kind of goes against the design philosophy behind the Rokstok

That's an insane price for that rifle. It's just a manners adjustable pro pack folder, zermatt Ti3 and prob a proof barrel.

I like the folder idea in a rokstok, it'd have to fold to off bolt side, so right hand stock folds left, left hand stock folds right, as the high rokstok negative comb will get into the bolt handle, possibly turrets as well even folded off hand side. The manners folder adds like 6-7 oz. Rokstok would be pushing 40oz with a folder.

Yeah that weight would be a deal breaker for most guys, definitely for me. Maybe in the rokstock light which would keep it around 30 oz total and allow for an very compact platform

That’s an outrageously priced gimmick.

You don't think they could do it like the Manners Pro Pack with the bolt aligning with the cutout over the top of the grip? Not sure why that wouldn't work.

I was thinking the same thing unless the comb is actually high enough to hit a turret

I think it'd go.

Sure looks like it. If I remember when I get home I'll throw a framing square or straight edge on my stock and see how it looks on the turret

It's on par for NEMO to be way overpriced. But at least we're starting to see shorter barrels coming as "factory" options. Would be nice to see smaller options than 6.5 and 7 though.

Cool. Haven't seen that stock before and didn't find it with a simple google. Thanks for that info.

I agree it's outrageously priced, but price aside, it looks pretty nice to me.

It's $5,000 worth of parts that you could order yourself.

$1500 action
$1000 carbon barrel
$1700 stock
$300 trigger
$300 bottom metal and magazine
$150 muzzlebrake

The barrel and stock could take 6+ months to get but is that worth $2500 rush fee?
