I think it all comes down to taking care of your gear and it taking care of you. Be it lazy or not in the right mindset...you dont leave a massive trophy and a $5000 bill laying out in plan sight in the west over night thinking nothing will happen. Being complacent then crying about the outcome...

This comment is spot on for this thread!!

I started with hand me down reloading gear from my dad and old redding powder throw and old rcbs electronic scale. I produced some accurate loads but it was slow going soni bought a v3 auto trickler. The accuracy in the throws is unreal and fast. Somewhere out there a guy did a comparison on the...

Just got some lowa tibets i think. Best boot ive come across so far no break in time no blisters and just an absolute comfortable boot to be in all day. Check out zamberlins mendiels scarpa kennetreks schnees tons of good boots out there now days

Is that a prefit barrel or did someone spin it up for you??? Badass rifle

Well not everyone is as tough as you or were in the military.....I just hiked out 2 bull hind quarters from an elk on a pack frame and if it weren't for my lowa's my feet would have been hammered. Not to mention the other trips there and back for more meat. I stalked up on a herd of elk with in...

Well today is a very sad day for me. I broke my bolt release on my tikka m695 and well I cannot find one and it seems like they might be discontinued. If anyone knows someone who has one or where to get one please let me know. I just talked to a manufacturer who said all these models should have...

I put a leupold vx-5 4-20 on my gun it is very crisp and clear. Also a little bit of weight savings compared to others. Khales is killing it of you have the money NF is right there too just heavy scopes but bullet proof. Tons of good glass out there you just have to find your budget range and go...

I always like the idea of trail runners when im on trails but when you start off with no trail and the only trail you ever hit is a game trail you need a boot. No way in hell id pack out a bull elk out of my country with trail runners. Also ive had braches and rocks that would leave me on the...

Lowa’s on my first pair no break in blisters...mendiels scarpa zamberlan danner solomons kennetrek all are good boots in my opinon. Schnees and whites for pack boots

180gr accubond for 15-20 years 0-500 has killed a bunch of elk for me. The eld-x seems to be pretty promising as well.

Running a tbac ultra 7 on my 20” 6.5. Perfect setup for small/medium game. For shooting off the bench id rather have 22-24” barrel. But it still does really well on a bench. My tbac has been worth its weight in gold. Poi change accuracy is top notch so is the company give ray or zak a call they...

I have had the tall harris bipod on my rifle since i was a kid...the same one. I think i have only used the tall setting twice to kill elk and it worked. Other then that ive used it in the standard setting and killed a lot of elk that way too. Probably half the elk ive shot some deer too...

Cohunt nailed it but with efile now the wait times are way shorter. I waited 375 days for my last paper form can. Ive been seeing online 90-100 days for eform 4’s

Im using starline for my ar-10 308. Seems like it will last a long time only on second loading right now but getting good accuracy and some tough brass almost reminds me of milspec brass. I usually run lapua everything but the ar10 is hard on brass and sometimes lose brass. Didnt want to be...
