The video may have some problems, but I think it was useful. I have heard Eric multiple times state he would never shoot past 600yds when hunting, and not that distance unless conditions were good. The ranging issue is certainly one in flat country when shooting a smaller animal, particularly...

I appreciate your last paragraph. Isn't it interesting how well the older Sierra and Hornady bullets did, until we decided we needed something "better"?

Thanks

Looks like a very nice rifle. What is the LOP?

Greetings from New Mexico, and I hope you have a great time and hunt. For hunting out west you don't need a 26 inch barrel, although it would add a little velocity. A 22 or 24in barrel is plenty sufficient. Either a 270 or 30-06 makes a great round, and both are the most popular rounds, along...

Another vote on Talley rings. Excellent machining, don't need separate bases, lightweight, look great, and the folks at Talley are about as nice and knowledgable as you can find. I have found they work just as well as a Picatinny rail. You will save a little weight, and if you have standard...

As aggravating as the new "tip culture" has become for expected service, tipping on guided hunts has been an expectation for a long time. I would hope that the irritation for tipping when it is not necessary would not affect the tipping for what is a job done very well. When I have had the...

Lightweight rifles require more control to achieve their accuracy potential, and very consistent pressure from cheek placement, shoulder and hand pressure, and forearm control. If you are not applying straight downward forearm pressure with your left hand, the rifle may be bouncing enough to...

New in 2023, and only shot off the bench on my ranch. Barrel break-in complete, per Fierce specifications. Will include lightweight Talley low rings, which fit a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 perfectly. Radial muzzlebrake, and also has thread protector. Wt. with rings 6.8 pounds. Has TriggerTech...

Sounds like you have an excellent recipe. I have been impressed how well the ELD-X shoot, and the ease of getting good accuracy, in a number of calibers.

A lot of the discussion is interesting, but may not be helpful. I would recommend the questioner listen to the recent Hornady podcasts regarding actual, statistically proven, rifle accuracy, versus the accuracy we riflemen claim we have out of our rifles (episodes 50 and 52). The ultimate...

Thank you.

Could you please give me the weight, length of pull, and the rifle twist. Thanks, Jim
