    New rifle

    Another vote for Seekins. I was looking at fierce but the horror stories mentioned above kept me from going that route. I’m sure they’re great but wasn’t going to chance it. I have the Seekins element in 7prc with a vx6 and would recommend it to anyone.

    Pants advice

    I meant to mention stone glacier too. I don’t have their pants I’ve only got a lightweight hoody that I wear in the heat to keep the sun off but I’m really impressed by SG’s quality. I was looking at their pants again yesterday and they seem like they’d be great for keeping you cool. As for the...

    Pants advice

    There are a lot of good options out there. I wear the Firstlite obsidian pant for chukar hunting but I have torn one pair the second time out and another that the emblem frayed.

    Pants advice

    I’m glad this thread came back to life. I’m in a similar situation trying to decide which route to go. I know it’s stupid but I like a full matching set and the browning speed gear I have now was discontinued so I can’t complete the set. That is my fear with Sitka’s older patterns like the open...

    7PRC loads & velocities

    It’s been awhile since I’ve been on so here’s a late answer, yes it was. I’m shooting 180 eldm now at about the same 2890 average but now suppressed. I had to re-zero but all of my data was the same from the eldx so I was able to run through 200-1000 yards and hit steel the first shot on each...

    Problem with new factory 7prc ammo

    I’d have to look at what the BA says. 2900 was the average at the muzzle. 350 yards

    2023 Elk Tags Drawn

    Got it done on the 3rd day of the season after 2 days scouting. Would have let more pass but the pressure was pushing them everywhere.

    Problem with new factory 7prc ammo

    I shot a cow elk a few days ago with eldx. Not happy with the lack of expansion
