Very cool!! I would love to have something like that, but I don’t have enough room in my garage…

I went through a long/extensive test with about 10 different types of loaded ammunition for my 6.5 Creedmoor (Franchi) and the best three for me was/is: 1. Berger 135 classic hunter 2. Hornady Superformance 120gr CX 3. Winchester Deer Season 125gr XP I chose the Berger’s as I’m using this...

some days you're the bat some days you're the ball!!!! Thanks for keeping it real!!!

As a dreaded non-resident hunter, the longest time I’ve ever spent on a western hunting trip is 10 days. I wish I lived out among the elk so that I could figure out the puzzle, that’s so much of the fun! Man I would kill to be able to hunt a whole season out west (meaning for all species -...

Bob, I can’t and don’t disagree with the facts of history as it relates to the 270 or any caliber that people have killed elk with them. Where I’m coming from is that this is a long range forum, and as you know as a hunter field conditions are not often ideal for a bench like solid rest. And...

Good on you Feenix for going to the science and facts. I think we are all susceptible to allowing snippets form our views in the micro-news world we live in. And bringing issues back to science and fact generally runs things back to the ground. Along those same lines, and moving back to the...

Don’t know Steve and I’m no credentialed or even self-proclaimed expert, but my advice as an hunter that has some experience with elk hunting is get a bigger gun…

Welcome to the show!!

This is the ammo I’m shooting!! Grouped very well and 1 DRT this season. Thanks for all the advice.

Love your spirit and guts to change the direction of your personal and professional life! We grow the most when we challenge ourselves by placing ourselves in uncomfortable/new positions (healthy ones of course). Frankly I have some of the high end brands mentioned so far (zeiss, leupold, etc)...

Dude copper/hard for elk. Too many big bones for lead… I use Barnes 168 ttsx in my 300 win mag, and 135 Berger Classic Hunters (drt bullets) in my 6.5 Creedmoor.

Great trophy!! Bucket list item for me as well. Anyone have experience with acquiring a license, picking an area + guide? You know figuring out a good hunt.

I have a Franchi Momentum in 6.5 Creedmoor (with a threaded barrel) that is relatively lightweight (6.6lbs), and an awesome well balanced rifle. I had at the range last Friday for a final check before rifle deer season and it shot very well (1/2 inch even with me pulling the trigger…) with...

Fantastic bull! And a hunt in an area like that is unforgettable!! Congratulations!!

I have two (2) Sig Sauer 4.5-14x50’s with the BDX system that are fantastic when paired with Sig’s bdx/kilo rangefinder’s. See the links below #1 = scope, #2 = my rangefinder, and #3 = the concept of the really simple system. https://www.sigsauer.com/sierra3bdx-4-5-14x50-mm.html...
