Thanks again:) I think the mentoring program is a great way to get kids out there and excited. My middle son cant wait to start. He will be 9 next year.

Thank you all for the kind words

I just got home from an elk hunt in which 2 of the 3 elk taken were with my 6.5-284. One was at 560 yards it was a one shot kill. It was hit right at the crease of the shoulder slipped between the ribs.before the hunter could rack the bolt and get back one her she was down:). The other elk was...

Here is an update. On December 28 (1day after his 10th birthday) Adrian harvested his second elk. This was a big cow he was able to take thanks to oregons mentoring program again. This elk was taken at 465 yards with a single shot from the same 7rem mag he used in january. I had time over the...

I brake all my rifles with muzzle brakes and more brakes. They are farely cheap in price but I love the design. These brakes are extremely effective. I dont think you can go wrong with near base and ring.

This topic is a huge pet peeve for me. My dad and his cousin went shooting with me about a year or so ago and enjoyed banging steel at 900-1300 yards with my rifles. They both went out and bought guns for long range hunting. My dad built an edge and his cousin bought a lapua. I helped them work...

We had a great time rupe. Happy to help you shoot to your new personal longest range. Cant wait til the next shoot and hope to have a few more shooters next year. Always a good time making new freinds (even them remington shooters haha). Cant wait to make some plans for another shoot.

Rupe I am gonna shoot you a text tomorrow for directions but what time is everyone meeting to startthe shoot?

Rupe my email has been acting weird and I am not sure if you got the one I sent you. If not I will be there Saturday with a few buddies and some steel.

My first choice bullet would be a 168gr berger. Even at close range I have had good luck with bergers. Second coice would be a 160gr nosler accubond. I used the nosler's for years until I found bergers.

Rupe was a date set for may? I remember june but cant recall the dates for may. I would like to tey to make both.

Thanks for the kind responses. It is nice to be part of a forum that understands what it takes to prepare for a shot over 100 yards.

Thanks. He cant wait for spring bear.

On sunday January 26th my 9 year old son Adrian was fortunate enough to harvest his first big game animal. A Roosevelt elk. Oregon has a youth mentoring program so anyone over 21can mentor a youth from 9-13. It is a great progam and my buddy wanted to mentor my son on his late season cow hunt...

The angle the elk was standing I would rather he put the bullet in front of the shoulder putting it through more of the vitals. But I am happy with the results of the placement he made. She was quartered to us. But since this was his first animal I understand him wanting to put it behind the...
