Yes....got the PhoneSkope. It barely fits in the wide open position. In fact, I have to take the eyecup off in order to squeeze it on there. I love it though! Took some great pictures this year:). Now, I just need to figure out how to get them off my iPhone and posted up!

I think it's just preconceived notions on whether a gun/caliber is big enough. "When a deer gets away from a guy with a 270 or larger, it is obviously his fault.". If it is a "marginal" caliber, then it's the rifle's fault. The caliber gets blamed for a poorly placed shot. In actuality, it's...

I bought a 55.3mm Meopta iPhone adaptor for my zeiss 20-75x80 diascope. Well, it doesn't fit my eyepiece....too small:(. Meopta has a 57mm version,but my eyepiece measures 59mm. Does anyone know of a different manufacturer for the iPhone? I am going on an awesome Utah elk hunt and was so...

I'm pretty sure that the Gunwerks MZ will shoot as well as any out there. The bullet will be the 325 Parker. You are right about practice though. I haven't gotten it yet and am getting anxious. As soon as it comes in, I will be hitting the range!

I have their 6.5x284. What a sweet shooter! It hardly kicks so you don't need a muzzle break...so no dealing with muzzle blast and ringing ears. Last year, I killed two large bull elk with two shots. One was over 750 yds. Neither went more than 20 yards. I had never shot anything smaller...

I shot an elk with a 338 win mag with 225 gr Barnes. Took 3 shots...2of which should have been fatal in short order. He headed uphill before my last shot! Used my 6.5x284 this year with 140 Bergers and both died within 20 yds.....1 shot.

I will be there at the same time....2nd season mz. I am going with an outfitter, but he doesn't have access to any private ranches. I am going to try and get off of work 4 or 5 days early and head out there. Take a looksy for myself. Thank you all for the responses. Gives me some homework...

Hi everyone! Just got the news that I pulled a unit 13 New Mexico tag. I've never shot a muzzleloader before, but I ordered one from Gunwerks. Thought I'd start out in style...though I may need to find a second job! I was so impressed with my rifle that I figured their muzzleloaders must...

Thesteelboy, The hint has already taken place.....and you are/were right! 140 Berger whacked the big bull hard! He only went 10 yards and crumbled. Did I mention....752 yards:)!

BTW....any advice on posting from iPad? Or do I need to post from a PC?

Ok...ok!:). I will try and figure out how to post pictures this evening. Actually, I'll ask my wife to help me....hahaha As far as the bullets....I just bought the ammo from Gunwerks. I believe the bullets would be the regular hunting vld, but am not positive. I am keeping all of the brass...

Well, just got back from my 2nd elk trip this year. My 338 win mag was acting up so I left it home....sending the scope in to have it checked. I was a little nervous, but I decided to take my new Gunwerks 6.5x284. 140 grain Bergers and trophy sized elk didn't seem like a great match to me...

Well, just got back from Utah. It wasn't much of a decision after my 338 continued to shoot random fliers. Pillared, floated, etc etc by Hill Country Rifles. Gotta be the scope or the barrel? Anyway, took the 6.5x284 shooting bergers (Gunwerks rifle). Long story short, the last day of...

I was feeling great about your post until...."oh no, not for hunting or backpacking". That's what I got it for:(. That's what happens when you don't know what you're doing. That's alright..I'll find a use for it. Thanks for the input.

Last night, I ordered a Zeiss carbon fiber tripod. I think it is made by Monfratto. After some research, all of the good tripods cost some coin. I got a demo model for $350. I guess it's a good deal. Just never realized how much these things cost! I keep telling my wife...I wish I was a...
