I suppose I can contribute to this thread lol. My daughter fired two shots this season. 140gr eld-m at a blistering 2700fps from her 6.5cm. 40yd frontal on the buck and 80yd broadside on the elk, which she shot through the onside shoulder and exited behind the offside shoulder. Buck was DRT and...

Fwiw, ours are all original Canadian made models, which are known to be the best ones they made. I think the Rage is made in the US.

I lived in Chehalis but worked in Olympia and the traffic was about all I could take, and it was still nothing compared to Lakewood/Tacoma. Olympia is like a mini Seattle too. The homeless problem and crime are really bad, yet people keep voting the same way.

Having spent 40 years in WA, you definitely want to pick Oregon, if I had to choose between the two. That said, I chose Idaho 😉

I’ll take it if it’s available

Those things will light you up! I googled up some photos after the fact just to see what they’re capable of. A guy could easily lose an eye!

A couple years ago, during the western WA early muzzleloader elk season, I was walking in behind a gate before daylight on a solo hunt. About 1/2 mile in on a straight stretch, I’m clipping along when something smacks me hard in the back of the head. (It was like when you’re in high school and...

Get you some N570! with 215s and 91.1gr I’m getting 3100fps, single digit es/sd, and .5 moa out to 710yds consistently, and no pressure. Retumbo is my huckleberry with 200gr ABs, though. I’ve had no reason to even try H1000.

Fed 209a are the hottest

I’ll take ‘em

Dang, I just bought one on Sunday

SPF

$400 Just trying to recoup what I have into it. Daddy needs a new tripod! I’m in Salmon but will be in Idaho Falls on Saturday July 8th

Dang, I’ll take it if he backs out. I have one already and want another!

Don’t count out the little 120gr Nosler ballistic tip! It’s a bad little bullet. It’s not built like a typical BT. It has a thicker jacket, exclusive to only the 120gr 7mm. It blows through both sides of a deer, so it shouldn’t have a problem with elk. Oh, and get you some Ramshot big game or...
