    I did not have a manual with mine so I downloaded one from the TC website. There are instructions on trigger adjustments there.

    Rifle scope for elk hunting

    I respectfully disagree. I have 2 Leupold VXIII 4.5x14s, one on my 25-06 Antelope rifle and one on my .300 Wby Elk rifle. Started out over 50 years ago with a Weaver K4 on my 30-06 and have experienced the steady increase in quality and power in our riflescopes. My Leupolds are the finest optics...

    TC Black Diamond

    I also have a BD 50 cal. I'll be going to the range Tuesday to shoot some new Thor bullets I just received. Thor offers 4 different bullet diameters so you can match the correct size bullet with you barrel, as barrels do vary in inside diameter. I like mine and it shoots great. I've only shot...

    .300 WSM or .338 Win

    I don't have any experience with the short mags but do have opinions on elk rifles. While the .30 calibers are very good for elk and very versitile for other game animals, I love the .338. It is a little big for deer sized animals, but for elk and larger it is great. If you stay with your...

    Wolves gone wild.

    This proposal is very typical of how the federal agencies try and manipulate public input and opinion. They bundle different "options" in different options that they take comment on. The option with the wolf is bundled with other options that could appeal to non hunters, thereby garnering more...

    Wolves gone wild.

    Found 2 like those and lots of legs, pevic and back bones. Don't anyone ever doubt the toll they are taking, thats whey you don't see many elk, deer & moose in the park anymore, just bison!

    Wolves gone wild.

    The wolf issue is here to stay unfortunately. I believe the feds used the Endangered Species Act illegally to introduce a non threatened species into a new habitat where it has never existed before. If I was really flush with $$$ I would hire an expensive barrister and take them to court. This...

    The .25-06 and .25-06 Improved By J.C. Munnell

    I have been a 25-06 shooter since the late 50's when it was a wildcat as no factory rifle existed for it. It was called a .25 Neider. Built one on a 03 Springfield action with an Apex match barrel. Had to make all my brass from 30-06 & .270 cases. Shot really well. When I was drafted and went in...

    CO Elk Hunting and Loss of Freedom

    One thing everyone who doesn't live near or in the mountains doesn't see is that not all of the illegal ohv use is from hunters. In fact in my experience here in SW Colorado most of it occurs during off season by recreational users...not hunters. All summer I see trailer loads of ohv's from...

    Rifle scope for elk hunting

    I use a Leupold VXIII 4 1/2 X 14 on my custom .300 Wby. It has a Leupold ballistic turret that is made for my handloads. Depends on the terrain & cover which setting I use. The 14x really comes in handy when I am punching holes in paper, use it for shooting the the spotter for results. I usually...

    Understand one thing, the main issue is NOT building or adding NEW roads, but shutting down existing roads.
