    0-300yrds hunthing

    I will throw in a vote for the 280 Remington. It is an underrated caliber in my opinion. Shoots flat, gives you the option of the 7mm class of bullets, can be had in a light rifle, and at the ranges you mentioned has plenty of power, depending on the bullet you choose. I have one and like it...

    Getting in mountain shape with no mountains around?

    I agree with the above posts that there is no substitute for elevation or training at altitude. But for some of us training at altitude before going on a hunt is not possible. I live at around 200ft above sea level and have gone on two hunts in Montana for elk at 6000-9000 ft elevation. I...

    What should my next Varmint rifle be

    I am in a similar situation to you in that I have a 223 bolt gun that I use for varmints. It is a great caliber and I shoot 55 and 69 grain bullets from it. I have found that the lighter bullets get blown around by the wind a good bit the farther away the target is, somewhat limiting my...

    Your Closest Archery Big Game Kill

    My closest archery big game animal was a bull elk in Montana at 6 yards. I first saw him raking a tree about 90 yards away and we bugled to get his attention. Well that worked and when he heard our bugle he turned and started walking straight toward me. I was standing in front of a large tree...

    Case neck scratches.....normal or not?

    Hello, I have a question about scratches that I am getting on the case necks of my brass when fired from my 223 AR-15 platform. Are these scratches considered normal? I am relatively new to the AR style of rifle, not new to precision rifles, reloading, or the shooting sports. Thank you for any...

    Do you archery hunt for elk?

    I have been on two archery elk hunts. Hearing the bulls bugling and having up close encounters is a great experience. I was fortunate to harvest a nice bull on my second elk hunt at 6 yards with my bow. Definitely not long range, even for archery standards, but the experience of being that...

    Spotting scope question: what to expect?

    The Cabelas model has a slide out lens shade, but since the sun was not out I didn't think it was needed. Thank you for that advice, I would have not thought of that on my own. I will pull out the lens shade next time out and try that. As for a tripod, the one I was using is not the...
