    Elk rifle

    I’m liking the idea of a 200 Partition vs a 168 TSX, both at slightly over 2800.

    Browning Abolt deal

    Have a AB3 in 300 Win mag. Love everything about the rifle, except the mag release. It’s in front of the mag and presses back. I’m afraid of dropping the mag and not knowing it. That’s why I bought a second mag, just in case. There’s also a aftermarket trigger spring that helps a bunch.

    Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!

    Hoyt Axius Ultra, best shooting bow I’ve ever owned.

    Elk rifle

    Finding a 200’ hill around here is as hard as finding a 340” bull.

    Elk rifle

    Nope, changed my mind this morning. The 300 saum just needed a little tweak and now it’s a cloverleaf at 100 with 168 TSX. Comes in a over a pound less than the Weatherby, even wearing a 4.5-14 Leupold.

    Hunt a crappy unit or stay home

    Hunt and learn. If you can drop a elk in a crap unit, you’ve learned something.

    I’d be happy with a 270”!

    Elk rifle

    After all the recommendations, I’ve found the rifle for Colorado. Weathermark in 300 Weatherby. Sub MOA with 180 Barnes TSX. It’s what I built it for.

    Elk rifle

    Well, crud! After MillerKillers comment, I’m leaning towards the 300 Weatherby, it’s a Weathermark, the only true all weather rifle I own. The 673 used to be a guide gun until I worked it over to drop some weight. She’s got a DuraCoat finish and with some advice from P_ham, all the kinks are...

    Elk rifle

    Didn’t mention the 300 Weatherby sitting in the safe. That’s an option too. It shoots around 1” with 180 TSX.

    Elk rifle

    Might be a stupid question, but here goes. I’ve drawn a 1st rifle tag in Colorado this fall. Been a while since I’ve rifle hunted for elk. Narrowed the choices down to 2, a 673 in 300 saum or a Model 70 in 325 wsm. The 300 is shooting a 168 TSX at 2825, getting a 1 1/2” group. It handles the...

    Colorado GMU 81 ELK

    Still amazing to me that guys put in for units that they’ve never set foot in and then get on a forum asking for help. Do some homework, show you know what you’re talking about. Maybe ask some general questions before asking about a specific unit.

    Soliciting help/thoughts for my 11 points

    Well, did you draw a tag? Not sure what being 62 has to do with it! I’ll be 62 next week and headed to Colorado in October solo. Planning on Wyoming next year. Get in the best shape you can, thumbs up from the doctor and pick up a inReach for peace of mind. Go hunt and enjoy yourself.

    Colorado elk

    Looks like I’m headed to southern Colorado this fall for first rifle elk. Good luck to all that are heading out there too. May y’all kill a nice bull the day after I do! Now I’ve got to figure out what rifle to take.

    Bill Wylde

    Don’t recall seeing this anywhere. Bill Wylde, developer of the Wylde chamber, passed away on 1 April, 2023. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him a couple times. He lived about 10 miles away.

    Annual elk rifle thread

    If I draw first rifle in Colorado, be toting my 673 in 300 saum. Got a sweet 168 TSX load. If I don’t draw, I’ll be using a Hoyt Axius Ultra.

    Broken ribs

    Didn’t know all that taping was necessary. Feel when a ladder kicked and caught the top rung of scaffolding a couple years back. Knew I broke one until I got to the ER. Nope, broke 5 up the left side. Never taped or wrapped at any time. Was off work for 6 days.
