    badlands sacrifice review

    The Badlands Sacrifice pack was designed for hunters who want to hunt for longer durations, but with less weight tied up in to the pack itself. Badlands was able to get the weight of this pack down to 4 pounds. This is not bad for a pack that can hold 3800 cubic inches. General...

    New Vortex Viper HS-T (Hunting Shooting Tactical) Riflescope

    Just mounted one on my 6.5 284 so far I am impressed. the turrets have firm clicks, and are true moa and thus far repeatable. I put a Viper PST 6x24 on a 300 RUM I built for my dad and it experiences a bit of uneven tunneling, the HS-T doesn't. I really like the MOA reticle it is my first...

    Girlfriends first elk

    I am using Berger 215 hybrids, at 3050 fps. Bullet performance was great, I filled my antlerless deer tag and my mother took a spike bull with the same gun in the two weeks before this bull, none of them moved. All rounds passed through, I will say that it leaves a 30 cal hole upon entry and...

    Girlfriends first elk

    By Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young standards the are located west of I-5 But we consider any westslope elk to be a rosie. Some refer to those that reside between I5 and the top of the cascades as Cascade Roosevelts. Getting him out wasnt bad, he was only a quarter of a mile from the...

    Girlfriends first elk

    Took my girlfriend out on her first elk hunt. She was able to connect on a nice 3 point rosie at 640 yards with the 300 RUM I just finished building. I would like to thank those of you who answered my questions throughout the build, esp Shawn Carlock and Jesse Werner.

    Consistantly 1 moa off

    Ive been using both Strelok and Shooter apps to calculate ballistics for my 300 RUM. Other than making an error when zeroing my turret (which I will be checking this weekend) Does anyone have any ideas of why I would be off by 1 moa? I have shot various ranges out to 840 and every time i have...

    North Oregon Coast

    Ive been strictly a bow hunter for 10 years. Had a savage in 300 RUM sitting in the gun safe for the last 8 years and recently decided to build myself a long range rifle and take on the challenge of long range hunting. Looking forward to getting some more good info from you guys.
