Never use your rifle scoop for glassing. Check your hunting rules for the state you’re hunting. It’s against the law in most states. I would hate to see a hunting trip go bad with a fine. That should end that discussion.

I would try Az. It has a lot of tags for bull and cow. There are a lot of different hunt times in the state. Early hunts right after bow and late hunts in Nov. and Dec. There are big elk in Az. You can get guides here also we are modern here to. The terrain is not as difficult to hunt as or...

Know one as talked about Arizona yet or south Utah. Arizona has an early draw so if you don’t get drawn you will still have time to put in somewhere else. Az has big bulls and a lot of hunting units to hunt from. Out of state hunters have as good or better chance to get drawn than residents do...

I have a 6.5 x 284 Norma and it is very accurate flat shooting. But I will not use it on anything bigger than a Mully. I will take them out to 1k with it and have. It takes practice the rifle can’t do it by its self. People that spend a lot on a rifle can’t think that’s all you need to shoot...

I run Retumbo and it works great in my 300 rum and 7 rum. The 212 eld-x work great but COAL is to long to fit in any mag. You have to seat them deeper so they will fit the mag. Otherwise you will have a great single shot. I can hold a 5in.group at 1k with H&H precision rifle and retumbo.

If you use a bushing die you need to neck turn to get the OD true to the ID. You need at least 75% clean up on the neck. Otherwise a bushing die is not going to put equal pressure on the bullet. This consistency will make the round a lot more accurate.

That’s great for you. They are correct if you go for trophy hunts it will be a long wait. I have 22 for elk, 17 for deer and 17 for antelope. Yes the point system needs to be reworked. Hope the rain comes at the right times for antler growth.

I have two 300 rum and one 7mm rum. Love them all. Just remember the rum has been around along time and is very forgiving on reloads. A lot of the new 300’s are not as much and you can still find ammo in stores. The 300 rum can get close to a 338 lapua as far as energy at a 1000. Components are...

You can get the same price for any scoop as law enforcement. Yes they get 40% off of MSRP. That’s what you can buy it for from opticsplanet.

I have two of the Burris XTR ll they are great for the price. They have Steiner glass in them. Burris stepped up there game when they bought Steiner. Never buy a scoop if it doesn’t have a unconditional warranty. That takes out a lot of the big names out of play. I am not saying they bad in...

If you want the most bang for the buck than look at the Burris XTR. They have no questions asked warranty which Nightforce, Swarovski and Zeiss do not have. If I am going to spend 2k to 2.5k on one I don’t want to pay to have it fixed. I have a Razor and Burris.

Why wast time and money on a custom build when you can get a Christensen arms rife line fo 1600. I have one and it will shoot .5 mos all the way out to 1000yd . I shoot the ELD-X in 178 gr. at 2978. Most rifles will shoot better than the shooter. I live in the west and hunt deer to Elk with it...

I am 57 and a hunter mostly. I live in Chandler AZ.. I have rifels from 416 to 22 and from custom to stock. If it moves I hunt it. I am looking for a good lood to start with for my Savage Long Range Hunter in 6.5x284 norma. I am using Beger VLD Hunting 140gr.
