My factory-barreled sendero 7mm RUM has a super long throat. Even if I didn't need to fit the mag, there would barely be any bullet in the neck if it was touching the lands. I am jumping the 162gr ELD-X well over a 1/4", probably .3-.4". I won't be winning any benchrest competitions, but will...

I shoot the 162gr eld x out of a 7mm RUM. This year I shot an elk and four whitetails ranging from 50 to 580 yards. I have been absolutely loving the performance of that bullet. Since they are designed to open at long range, I was very worried about what would happen when they hit at very high...

You can bring them if you have owned them since before the ban (it's on them to prove you haven't.) Also, outside of Denver, no LEO or prosecutor cares about the law unless they are tacking the charge onto some other crime they are charging you with. In the Springs you can buy unassembled...

Cool test. I think the whole "longer barrels are less maneuverable and hard to take quick shots with" is vastly exaggerated. If the brush is that thick, I'll be holding the rifle in my hands, and I can guide it through easier than I can my shoulders. Not fitting in cases and needing to buy a new...

I'm 20 minutes outside of Colorado Springs on the side of Pikes Peak. I'm backed up to National Forest. We have many black bears bears and some mule deer, but I'm not in a very good unit for elk hunting. I need to be close to a major city for work and some hobbies, but I want to be in the middle...

I called Proof. They don't do 30" in .284 currently. Although 28" is probably plenty for my needs.

I had looked at carbon wrapped barrels, but I didn't know you could get one longer than 26". That might be the route I go. Thank you.

I have been hunting with a second-generation Remington Sendero in 7mm RUM for the last several years. I have taken a moose, black bear, elk, whitetail, boar, and even a grouse with it. I am only at about 350 rounds down the barrel, but I recently moved to CO and now have a place to practice out...

I moved to south-central Colorado with my now-wife earlier this year, and we love it. We just got back from our first elk hunt in SW Colorado (a DIY backpacking hunt in wilderness area) with a truck full of elk meat. Durango is starting to have a major homeless population. However, Ouray is...
