    $2,000 to spend on scope…..

    I know they aren’t as high end as the scopes listed here but I have had excellent success with the vortex viper PST genii 5-25x50 FFP scopes. They are light, tough and track very well when pit to the range test. Plus the warranty would allow you to buy a gently used one and save some money to...

    Utah cow and Barnes TSX

    That blows my mind. I’ve only shot one animal, a whitetail deer, with a 308 tsx and I got expansion from the bullet. The animal was quartering toward me, maybe the extra meat to go through had something to do with it. I’m surprised it didn’t open up on the shot to the chest. I’ve had really...

    300 Win Mag ELD-X load testing?

    You are right… I’ve kind of stockpiled it for a while now. I don’t shoot as much as most people and have about 150 ish rounds to last me through this year and hunting season

    Time for a boot upgrade, need some help

    Give Salewa a look. They have options that are suitable for early, mid and late season hunts/excursions. I have owned 4 pairs and I have never been happier with boots. Use a pair of gaiters with them and you’re golden.

    Solo backpackers ???

    I couldn’t agree more. Plus the InReach can be activated by the month so you don’t have to pay for it when you don’t need it.

    300 Win Mag ELD-X load testing?

    For whatever it’s worth my Savage 110 in 300 win mag will group a bit less than 1” with the Hornady Precision Hunter. I can only imagine how much better it would be loading it yourself

    Looking for a versatile cartridge

    Get a good bolt .308 with a 20” ish heavy barrel. It’ll be very light in the recoil department, will be short enough to maneuver with very easily in the woods and will also have enough oomph for doing everything you described doing. Plus it’s a decent combo for most mid range shooting at...

    Scope bases and rings for RUM

    I’ve had good luck with the Vortex Precision scope rings. I’ve only had one set but they didn’t require any lapping before mounting my scope…. The guides were perfectly aligned.
