Weight Loss Drugs
I agree with you. I'm in the same boat. I have always been active and muscular and my BMI says I'm obese. I'm 5'11 and 230 but it is hard for me to lose weight due to being active and the workouts that I do don't necessarily target burning fat but increasing cardiovascular/muscular endurance...- WVmike

New Big Game/Yote Scope?
I have a Nightforce SHV 4-14x56 on my Seekins PH2 and it's a great scope compared to others that I have used. The glass is awesome but if you have a higher budget you could look at the NXS or ATACR. They are probably heavier than say leupold or another comparable brand. I was originally looking... -
Seekins PH2 or Element Stock WTB
The PH2 is a clone. Have one and absolutely love it. Also the magpul and accuracy international aics mags fit the standard stock on a PH2. I was actually looking into getting another mag to have and with more capacity than the standard 3 round mag the Seekins comes with. -
New MR Metcalf has 3 New Bag Sizes
The new updated pack for this year is a new guide lite frame that isn't compatible with the "old" guide lite and guide lite mt bag.

Pick a state to become a resident ...
I would like to live in Wyoming given that nonresidents have to hire a guide for wilderness area hunting and it's kind of in the middle of the western states for hunting.- WVmike

How Far with a 7mm Rem Mag?-Elk Hunting
This video is what everyone is obsessed with in todays world. They want to post awesome videos of shooting something way off and showing it to the world. The kid made a difficult shot sure and he is 12 sure but I don't have any idea as to why anyone would want to shoot an animal at that range... -
Leupold scopes love or hate em?
I have a VX3 3.5-10 on a Remington 700 .308 and I've had good results with it. I'm usually shooting out to 300 or so with that particular rifle. The glass on mine is pretty clear. I would like to get a VX3 or freedom for my son's Ruger .243. I currently own a Nightforce SHV on a 7mm Rem Mag... -
Rifle Brand for 7mm Rem Mag
I have the hornady eld-x working pretty well but I wouldn't mind seeing what they do once I empty the box of hornady. -

How does your rifle like the Barnes? I've been wanting to try them in general for either the 7mm or my .308. -

Rifle Brand for 7mm Rem Mag
So far I have it shooting reloads of 150 gn ELD-x over 58.5 IMR 4350 with an overall length of 3.250 at half inch groups if I do my part with it. I'll be getting an American Precision little bastard brake to put on it and I'll be testing my loads out to 400 yards. -
New MR Metcalf has 3 New Bag Sizes
I have an original guide light frame Metcalf I bought in 2019 I believe and I'm annoyed that I can use my existing frame even with the back to the future conversion or the other one to just pick up a bag. I don't really want to drop the cash on a new pack all together because the Metcalf I have...- WVmike

Rifle Brand for 7mm Rem Mag
Finally picked it up before the last couple days of doe season. Put a Nightforce SHV 4-14x56 on it and it’s a keeper. The 2nd and 3rd shot of the first three rounds I shot were almost the same hole. I will be uploading more pics and also info with the loads I come up with as well. -

Any WV bear hunters on here?
I don't bear hunt but live in WV and Dolly Sods is a popular area for bear hunters and also parts of public land in Pendleton county. I see trucks with the dog boxes on the back all of the time in these areas quite often this time of year.- WVmike

Nightforce SHV 4-14x56
I have a couple of other rifles that either wear a leupold or will be in the future. I have a 3.5-10x40 on my Rem 700 .308 and works fine. The Nightforce had a good price and it was a demo model but I couldn't tell the difference between brand new and demo.
