Dont buy a savage axis. Nobody deserves that. Not even a FNG. Haha
Id go the used route...buy a kimber mt 30-06, vx3i 3.5 x 10. I bet you can get it done for close to a grand.
Buy the best 165-180 grain ammo you can shoot, spend looots of time on stair climber's with your pack on.
Debating on giving colorado a go this year. Have my eye on this unit and possibly doing a drop camp or hiring pack services to get me back in there. Going solo as of right now cause none of my buddies bought points like I told em too...
Anybody hunted this unit the past few years or interested...
Looking for a good #170790 Leupold VX-6 or one that has had the turret replaced with the ZL-2 dial. Price depends on condition, dial accessories ect.. thanks,

Yeah, when I first bought my kimber mt 300wsm, I thought it was a bit harsh. Put a slip on limbsaver on it, lifes good.
I mostly shoot 180's @ 2950 but 200's @ 2900 arent noticeably worse.
I havent decided whether to try the later rifle season or archery. I enjoy both times of year, so it really becomes a question of which is the best time to punch a tag.
The roots? Figured less elk, less people. I dont need thousands of elk, just the right 1.
Im so disgusted with the central region being little belts mostly, that id rather put up with wolves and grizz , so im heading farther west again.
Camo doesnt matter nearly as much as staying comfortable. I wear a mix of FL, sitka, kuiu mostly, different gear for different weather. Open country, sub alpine, any of em work. Try not to stink and move a lot. Good luck!
