Many thanks....checking them out.

I guess I am kind of a "light load" compared to most of the hunting and shooting experience I see here. I spent 11 years in the US Navy riding nuclear subs (poseidon and trident). Had the pleasure of moving around a lot during those years and have hunted in most of those places. I even had...

I have a synthetic stock that I want to camo. I have seen some very nice looking camo jobs that others have done on here. Can't remember the threads. Anyone willing to share photos or some tips?

You are right... a lot of threads. Also a wealth of information from many and varied sources. Great Place!

I have been reading some amazing stories on here about certain hunters who have shot 300+ lb whitetails at 300+ yards and drilled them in the exact spot planned (within fractions of an inch). Is it my equipment, or am I just woefully inadequate for this hobby? I was proud of some 1 shot kills I...

Yes, the elk hunting takes place in western wash state. You said that I have 2 very different rifles, however this was my thinking. Bore size similar.....277 vs .284. Similar ballistics w/equivalent bullets? Recoil similar? It was just my thinking, but I guess I spend more time hunting than I...

I am purchasing a new rifle for big game. I probably hunt 80% whitetail in a mix of woods and open. I also do some elk hunting mostly in wooded areas. Anyone own/shoot both of these calibers and if so, which would you keep if you could only keep one for this type of hunting???

I would like to second these motions. I am new to this forum and see some of the posts by members such as "fiftydriver" and I am simply awed by their knowledge and experience. Even more, I am impressed that they would take the time to draft some of the replies that they post. They provide tons...
