Looking for a pair of Vortex Razor UHD 10X42. Thanks In Western MT.

I.m going to Spain to hunt Ibex in December 2023 with family. We can rent guns there but I would rather take my own. We want to tour for 7-10 days after the hunt. So the questions is where do I store my gun and ammo after the hunt? We are flying into Barcelona and hunting 3 hours from...

Bought a Kowa 883 for my goat hunt and then sold it. After looking through my old Burris, and a friends newer Vortex, I got spoiled with the 883. So am looking for a 773 with the 25-60x Wide Angle Eyepiece. Thanks Pic of my MT goat with my son.

Have you checked the bedding? I have a CA in 28 nosler. I read that where the lug sets in the stock the company only puts a small drop of epoxy, which when I checked was the case. But also the stock was above the rear pillar where the action screws down. So I took a dremel tool to the stock...

I am working up a load in my 28 for 175 EH. .030 was a 3/4 grp at 200 yds. (.015 intervals) rest were 1+ inches. Waiting for it to quite snowing and blowing then I'll do my 400 yd ladder test, 2 shots at each load. Once I find the node then I will go back a tweak the seating depth, .005...

I agree with PddPdd, do your seating depth(200 yds) first then do a ladder test (400yds).

Daniel don't know what PM me mean?

Daniel, Yes I'm in MT

mandl: What is your barrel twist? I have a CA with a 1:9 twist. shoots less than 1/4 MOA with 143 hammer hunter. Wanted to try something heavier but Steve at Hammer didn't think the 155s would work. Thanks

My MT 9-1/4" billy goat with my son, my cow elk and my son's 6 pt archery bull elk on my goat hunt! Used 28 Nosler with 143 HH. My son had to do some serious climbing to get to my goat and then kick him off the ledge, This was the first level spot where he stopped. Goat was 91 yards looking...

I made a metal plate that screwed on my tripod and the magneto speed. If you do this get the shield that it’s on the magneto speed.

Correction on previous post. My son hauled out 3 boned out bull elk qtrs.

Barneys Sports Chalet, Anchorage. External frame. The best pack ever for large loads. I bought mine when I was there in 2011. Moved back to MT and hands down most comfortable pack I’ve owned. My son has used it to haul out 3 bones out bull elk . This year camp, mountain goat, meat, hide...

I have CA Ridgeline 28 nosier and less than 1/4 MOA. I rebedded mine, that is the only thing I would check.
