    Utah elk vs. Colorado elk

    I have 20 CO points that I am planning on using in 2021 and as a CO resident will probably get me the tag I want. The reason I have so many is that I would put in for a private land cow tag (B list) as second choice after a first choice that was usually 10 points away and the cow tag was a lock...

    Hunt Vehicle for sale Toyota f60

    Yup set this one up for back country use, particularly when doing search and rescue. probably have 23K invested in this one, rack/cage was built by a race shop with light steel tubing. Just don't use it very much anymore as I am horseback more often than in a vehicle. The 4 inch lift and the...

    Pretty & Classy rifles. Lets see them!

    Had the same scope set up on the forrester in 6.5X284, looks pretty primative by todays standards but worked great!

    Best 30mm rings for Pic rail

    Thanks, the EGW rail is about .2 taller than the Warne bases I usually use so to some extent it probably a mind trick as the difference is really just the same as going from low to medium rings.

    No need to apologize, just teasing an Aussie. It is really the original 7mm08!

    Can anyone school me on .300 BLK for white-tailed deer?

    not 100% on this , but I recall the tactical 110 gr is designed for penetration (thru car doors and windshields for example) so behaves like a solid in game.

    Best 30mm rings for Pic rail

    Thanks! Kind of the direction I was headed, got the EGW bases and with low Warne rings I was about 3/4 inch of clearance and probably 2 plus inches above the bore which felt a little high.

    Changing rifles because of excess recoil.

    Always think you have one more hunt in you no matter what! Thinking about all the wonderful experiences come back every time I look at a trophy on the wall, My wife laughs when someone asks where I shot something and I can tell them who/what/where/ the weather and what I had for breakfast the...

    Pretty & Classy rifles. Lets see them!

    Both still lock up tight, the 32-20 has a Winchester peep and Beeches flip up front, the 38-40 a Lyman peep, both excellent bores, 32 about 90% blue, the 38 maybe 50-60% mostly nice patina.

    I will get some pictures up and you can tell me what you think, have to check my book but I doubt I have $1k in both bought in the 80's. Both of mine have mint bores and function flawlessly.

    I have a 32-20 that is about 90% and a 38-40 about the same as the one on the left. These are fun to shoot, shot a prarie dog with the 32-20! These were pretty cheap 30 years ago,no one seemed to care now they seem to start around $1K AND GO UP.

    Three amigos, Ballard 40-65, 45-70 (middle stainless BBL) and 22 LR (my favorite) the 22 and 40-65 are identical in weight and balance so I could switch match events (silhouette) and have the same "feel" all are less than 1 moa with open sights, the 40-65 and 45-70 don't even settle down until...

    Two of my favorites, a Model 94 deluxe take down with exhibition wood and pencil carbine length barrel in 30-30, a Model 70 Super grade 257 Roberts ca. 1952, fancy wood for a super grade so probably special order. Shot two white tails with 94 and 3-4 with the 257 then they became safe queens.

    Pretty & Classy rifles. Lets see them!

    I had 2 Sakos in college, one 222 mag and one 222 that were my first really accurate rifles. I saved $250 from summer work and bought a third, a Forrester action in the original stock that was a wildcat 6.5X284 (for that price I got dies and cases too!) traded them off over the years, wish I had...
