Barrel Recommendations
If you've never shot a 7 lb rifle, I'd be sure and shoot one before you spend a lot to get there. I completely understand looking for weight savings, but lightweight rifles are really unforgiving, and just a little harder to shoot in general, especially in conditions where you are layered up... -

Escape and Evasion
This thing is nuanced. To put it in fishing terms: there's a difference between the guy who drives his boat around the bay looking for bent rods, and the guy that sees your stringer at the boat ramp and asks if you were using artificials or bait.- RockinU

Priceless Elk Camp
I've been around bottle raised orphan bucks, and I can tell you they turn straight up jackass when they start to rut. We had one that hung around the shop on a ranch I worked on, and we finally roped him and cut his horns off for the sake of safety, fortunately that experience caused him to...- RockinU

FLIR? Whats next?
Flir makes systems that are in no way comparable to what you had, and other companies do as well or better. They have thermal imaging scopes that can not only see at great distance, but in startling detail. If you drop that same $6 grand on a thermal imager you will be able to see the elk...- RockinU

FLIR? Whats next?
Never binos just a scope, both mounted and for scanning, and only playing around in the daylight, never actually searching for game. As I said, the more I consider it, the worse it sounds. I didn’t know they were being used in such a manner, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.- RockinU

FLIR? Whats next?
I’ve used them some, not a lot, for hogs...to be honest I’d never considered their use in daylight, or in a big game context at all. The more I think about it, the shadier it seems.- RockinU

FLIR? Whats next?
It works, but doesn’t provide as much advantage. About the only thing I can think of it doing is maybe showing the presence of game in cover.- RockinU

FLIR? Whats next?
Well no, not fair chase, because if they are using it for elk or deer, they are using it at night, which is not legal to start with. Same as spotlighting...- RockinU

FLIR? Whats next?
We've been using it for hogs and to a lesser extent predators for a while. I also know of some who have played with it for trying to track wounded game. What use are you referring to with "pros"?- RockinU

Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270
There are outstanding smiths across the country, I would recommend finding one within driving distance so you can sit down with them to come up with what will best suit you. -

Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270
You wouldn't have to save up much more to get a nice rifle built by a quality gunsmith. I have a couple NIB Rem 700 rifles in the top of my closet that I bought on super black Friday sale last year just for the actions. In years to come they will be built into the rifles I want them to be. If... -
Howa 300 Win issues
I've had them both ways as well, but most are like this. Have a .300 RUM that hates a dirty or hot barrel though. But that doesn't make sense with it shooting the power points fine, but none of the others. It may just like that profile...
