Instead of the spotter, I'm going to upgrade my binos and pick up a night stalker tripod. I'm between the leupold BX-2 Alpine 10x50 or bigger or something from Maven. No experience with Maven so we will see. Definitely need something for elk hunting, probably could get away with what I have now...
Have a Seek Outside Cimmaron and a lite outdoors cylinder stove which works great but I’m looking to get another tent in the 2 person variety. I came across the the guardian 2 and I’m stuck between it and the Viam Bridger which are the basically the same except the Viam comes with a nest and is...
Used a lite outdoors 18 inch titanium stove last year with the tipi tent in second season rifle in Colorado last year and it was the difference between being absolutely miserable to being tolerable when sleeping. Every few hours we would have to add wood which was a pain but it's not like the...
A bigger wolf that will have even more affect on wildlife populations. The next time I go elk hunting in colorado, I'll be site seeing and counting the number of elk, deer carcasses along the way.
He has a .243 already just looking for suggestions when he's around 12 or so maybe a little older. He has already asked me about getting something with a little more knockdown power which is another discussion in it's own right. Maybe he is saying that because I use a 7mm and sees that hey dad...

Thanks for the info, this is why I am asking for advice. I have no experience with Bergara. My personal pick would be nudge him towards the Model 70 or Seekins which I do have experience with. If you you don't mind me asking what model did you have?
I sat down with my son and we checked out numerous sites for rifle manufacturers from Winchester, Remington, Ruger, Seekins, Bergara, Tikka, Browning, and a few others and he was between the Winchester Model 70 Super Grade, Bergara Ridge Carbon Wilderness, Seekins PH2/PH3 and the Tikki T3x UPR...
I would rather shoot great groups and hit the target with an average run of the mill rifle rather than have the best system in the world and have terrible groups and not be able to hit anything. Some things are more valuable to me in regards to shooting than the actual rifle itself like glass...
My favorite rifle I currently have is my Seekins PH2 in 7mm Rem Mag which I would think would be a little much for him. I also have my dad's Model 70 Sporter in .264 Win Mag and that's about the same situation with the 7mm. The .308 that I do have is an adl with a pretty heavy Choate stock that...
