Bought a similar setup last fall for more than what you’re asking, you have a great price! The BTX85 is also one of the best pieces of equipment I have ever owned, very satisfied with my purchase even after comparing with with BTX115 and BTX95s

Gotta get to the range early and get whatever shooting done that you can. Once it's hot, it's hot and the barrels don't cool much, as you experienced. I just got a barrel fan, yesterday was the first time out and it was getting tossed between my dad's 7mag and friend's 28nosler, worked decently...

I think the Barnes is a good route to go, its been impossible for me to find 25cal accubonds over the past couple years. I did try the 110eldx in the 257wby and struggled to get anything decent on paper. But I have battled with this 257 and reloads in general I have 2 full boxes (100qty) of...

I've been looking at the Excalibur micro 380 for my father, does anyone have experience with it or similar? I plan on adding a crank so he can cock it on his own and I've also heard that adding a Triggertech doesn't hurt

Ive used both bullets, just in a 257 wby, and have had great results. My father has done well with the 110 AB out of his 25-06. I think you'll do just as well with either the barnes ttsx or the nosler accubond at the ranges you stated. As you said, good luck finding the 110 AB anymore and if...

I've had some odd elevation changes (1moa at 300yards) between range visits with my rifle that has the same scope as you. I have always attributed it to the rifle and it being in a tupperware stock with no bedding. My rifle goes everywhere in a pelican so that shouldn't be an issue

I love hunting with a rifle and bow equally, I grew up hunting with a rifle until I realized how much more hunting I could do during archery season. I also agree with above that archery hunting has made me a better rifle hunter, especially in regard to planning/executing stalks. Of late, I've...

You and me both, New Mexico makes it pretty straightforward for everyone

Hopefully they move towards mandatory harvest reporting so some of these units can be open for the different seasons. It sucks having your favorite unit closed during your favorite time to hunt with a bow. But I do realize it's all a band-aid and the ultimate solution will probably be a draw

Results are up on the portal

I hadnt heard of the Peak44 til now and looks a good option. I also keep looking at Mcmillan game hunter

This was the first year I've apllied for elk since I started college in Fall2017 and I got a hit! 7 points, just need to figure if its rifle or archery, t-minus 6 months Congrats to everyone else with charges, the az Jr hunts were some of my favorite growing up

223rem for me. Light recoil, plenty of gas to 400 on yotes and my bolt gun accepts AR mags. Not that loud hunting w/o Earpro and even better suppressed. What is not to like haha

I have the basic Vanguard series 2 in 257weatherby and it has taken lots of game from javelina/coues up to cow elk. It has held 1moa out to 550 yards consistently. I added a ported brake to tame it down a bit and that helped a ton, looks like yours comes with a radial brake which is nice. The...

Not letting me add to cart! Hopefully i didnt miss it again :(
