I purchased and downloaded the Shooter app to my android phone since it had the angle indicator feature but for some reason the full app would not load so I am back to square one using Strelok which requires a manual angle input. I would prefer not to have to use a separate angle finder app...

Im heading out in a few days to hunt mule deer in the Oregon high desert. The terrain is big rolling hills and deep draws sparsely covered with sage and juniper. Shots will be 300 yards + and I can potentially spot out to a mile or more. There is no vehicle access so I can expect to walk 5-10...

I found this angle finder at the local hardware store today for $10.99. My idea is to epoxy a metal or plastic tube or even a ballpoint pen body to the bottom edge as a rudimentary sight and use it as a angle degree indicator. The only downside I can think of is I would need a hunting partner to...

Can someone give me feedback on the 162 grain ELD-X 7mm Remington magnum factory ammunition velocity? I am getting fantastic accuracy but velocity seems low. In my 24 inch barrel Savage 111 I am getting an average of 2767 FPS which is over 170 FPS below Hornadys stated velocity.

Earlier this year I picked up a used near new condition Savage 111 in 7mm Rem magnum at a local shop for $229. This is my first magnum caliber rifle and will replace a .308 AR10 for longer range hunting in the Oregon High Desert. I got a great deal on a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 and picked up a...

These are brand new in the package Leupold MK 4, 1 inch , medium height, steel scope rings. I recently purchased these rings for a 7mm Rem Mag rifle I just picked up. I ended up getting a screaming deal on a Vortex scope but it has a 30 mm tube so I no longer need these. $85 shipped. I can...

I picked up the rifle a few days ago for $279 out the door. Its almost new, no wear on the bolt lugs or interior of the receiver. I just ordered a new Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 with mildot reticle. I was looking for a little less magnification on the low end but I ended up paying $279 for that as...

I started hunting mule deer in new area on public land a couple years ago. It's high desert rolling hills, frequent high winds, and very little cover. The deer are very educated and shots never seem to present themselves closer than 350 yards. I have been using my AR10 variant DPMS G2 .308 with...

This is not a long range hunting question but I figured I would get some excellent feedback here. I just purchased a .308 DPMS G2 Hunter that I will use for elk and deer hunting in Oregon. Depending on what unit I am able to get tags for, I can expect to shoot from 25 yards to 400 yards. After...
