[QUOTE="YZEATER, post: 495162, member: 5225"] Thank you. i appreciate all the advice From what i know of the horses, they are just run of the mill horses. whatever they bring us is what my cousin has said. the only thing i know is they tell the stable that we have no horse experience and they have gotten pretty good horses in the past. no specific breed. we'll use the horses to ride into an area, and hunt on foot from there. We will be using rented tack, but need to bring our own gun scabbards. at this point one of us may need to buy one. we have been warned that if we have big target knobs they will be hard to get in and out of the scabbards. we currently don't have target knobs on our scopes but i have thought about getting some put on my scope(needed anyway). if i do, i will buy a new scabbard of my own. my cousin has enough panniers (sp) for us to use for hauling meat back. we will stop at cabelas and buy enough meat bags on the way out there. I am still undecided which gun i will take. leaning towards the 30-378, just because that's why i said i bought it, to use it if i ever go out west. meanwhile it's awesome on Pa. deer. i may switch up scopes and use my VX-III BC 4.5 x 14 on it. we won't be able to shoot any at elevation, other then at game. i always have used drop charts, so i'll definitely have one, and be reading up on elevation differences. (side story- i have a brand new burris 4x16 on my 30-378 now. warranty replaced the first 4x16 and i still don't trust the burris to go out there.) Accubonds will be the bullet of my choice for either rifle, and shooting for the vitals. [/QUOTE]
