I have a used Vortex high country tripod with 1 quick change plate for sale. Asking $45.00 US shipped to US, pay pal only. Has handling marks but other than than in nice working order
My hunting partner thought my trucks milage sucked while pulling this trailer. So I said fine your truck goes on the next trip. Took it on a deer hunt so it never pulled the trailer over the mountains or any mountain passes. So his new Chevy outdoorsman with 5.3 gas engine got 7.7 MPG. I owned a...
I was at a dealer who sells Ice Castle fish houses, and I own one and used it out west once. I wanted more room so was going to trade it in for a bigger model. Sales person said do not do it, said they were not made to be pulled that many miles over those rough back country roads and trails. I...
I had Lasik done on April 15th this year. I wanted my long distance vision to be good. Talked to DR and he said I can do that. To this day I can not see things at long distance. I did go back in for a check up and he said things look good.... and it will take time. Said every year for the next...
buddy shot a elk 2 seasons ago at 60 yards, 162 grain ELDX out of a 7 rem mag. Hit the scapula and splashed. bullet speed was 2875, yup slow but thats all that gun would handle. Tracked the bull and put 2 more rounds into it, 30 yards away, zero pass thru. He then shot a mule deer buck, had to...
Just working on a load for one of my 7mm rem mags, 165 grain game changer. Shot a really nice 0.247" group (3 shots) and going back to the range today to see if it will duplicate it. Speed right at 2900. If it duplicated will use mule deer hunting this fall. Already have a rifle ready for elk
I found a + 12 offset rim. They make ones with more offset, the lower the number the more offset. Some Zero offsets would work or any negative number but I didn't want that much tire sticking out.
I bought a 6 1/2 wide by 16 long v front, 6 1/2 foot tall and made it into a hunting trailer also. I had a Ice castle fish house, but after talking to the ice castle dealer....they are not made to be pulled that far he said. I insulated with 1" in the walls and ceiling and put 2 layers of...
I have a 2018 f 150 that won't take chains on the front. Decided I really wanted to have the option of chains. So I purchased some after market wheels with a different offset than the factory wheels. With factory wheels its was really tight (275/65/18 tires) with chains. New rims with different...
I just came back from their. Did not see any buck that I would consider "trophy" quality at all. Was a large ranch that had lots of antelope on it, glassed it just to see what was out there, nothing special at all. If you are looking for a book antelope good luck finding it in 21
And then there's the hunting partner who says I'm buying a truck to share the load......3 years and waiting for him to buy it......thinking maybe next season I'm just going by myself.
Bullet didn't expand, blew up and did what I call a body splash, not much penetration at all. Same with the other 6 elk/deer I mentioned. Took multiple rounds to do the job where one SHOULD have been enough. Without snow we would not have found the 1 bull elk.
after seeing how a 162 ELDX did on an elk there is no way I would trust a 175 grain ELDX. And I personally know of 6 other deer and elk that also had bad results. You need a better bullet
Yup you are probably right on the targeted audience, but why wouldn't you give a caliber the best barrel length to help it preform to its potential. Can't cost that much more to add 2" barrel length. But I suppose 2" cost adds up on thousands of rifles. Oh well I wish them well on their builds!!
I for one will not buy a gun/scope package. That is not enough scope for me. Its a nice short range scope but if it was a 4-14 or 3-15 I'd consider it for sure. A 24" barrel on the 7mm is NOT enough barrel length in my opinion. 26" would be a minimum for the 7mm and probably the 300 mag but I'm...
