It took about 20 weeks from ordering from the dealer to arriving at the dealer. Longer than expected, but well worth it. I had it out again today testing loads. I was able to shoot a couple of groups ranging from .5 to .75 inch with 130 BTs over 7828ssc. I have not weighed it. But guessing...
My Montana Rifle Co. X2 came home on Friday. Left hand 270 wsm. First impressions is super high quality, fit and finish is top notch. Action is smooth and even feeds the short fat WSM very smooth from the mag. I gave it a good cleaning and mounted a VX-6 3-18x on it. I ended up getting the...
I have a dogtra 2500tb. It has been a robust unit. nick/con stim and locate tone. It has point and point/grouse mode. The unit has been used every day for three years with no issues.
You may want to try some Marmot Scree pants in the long version. I'm 34" inseam and there long on me. They are very similar to sitka timberline pants without the kneepads.
Hit up the outdoor rec center at your college. For sure you can rent high end camping gear and maybe optics for super cheap. Then head up camping and hiking. Spend as much time a possible watching the animals.
Although I'm a lefty with a LH gun I have the same issue with the general stock fit and eye alignment on my x-bolt. wllm1313 has some good advice. I have put Boyds on two of my Tikkas and love them. They drop right in with no work at all. I did glass bed them myself, which was super easy...
I'm guessing it is not showing up yet cause you havent drawn the big game combo yet. Mine shows the only application and the hungers for hunger donation. I've always just got my bowhunting tag later after the draw was done.
So what happens to the tags from the special draw? So last year the quota for region C special random was 209. There were no first choice and a total of 13 in the second and third choice. In the special PP draw there was a quota of 604 with 310 first choice apps. So if added up that is 490...
Thinking about picking up a Region C tag to have in my pocket for the fall but don't want to burn my points. I was looking at the 2015 draw and in the special draw there were like 400+ tags not issued. So my question is do the tags then go to the left over sales? Or in simpler terms was there...
180 AB. The Tikka likes them Elk do not. I ended up with 76 gr of Magpro. I couldn't get over 2900 with 4350 or 4831. Brass is hard to find unless you want to drop and arm and a leg on Nosler. I got lucky and walked into a Fleet Farm this winter and they had 270 wsm and 300 wsm Win brass 3...
I look at it this way. I spent 21days in MT last fall chasing elk and deer. That is about $48/ day. 4th elk season in CO was 5 days or $120/day. So that's like 4 time the adventure and twice the tags for less than half the price per day.
At least that's what I tell the wife......
I've been running hornady brass in my 2506. It appears to be as good if not better as winchester brass so far. I've only reloaded the brass twice now so I can't comment on longevity.
Thanks for the help and suggestions. I'm going to go put my hands on as many a I can and see what I like. I'll post some pics when the I get it all set up.
Hey guys here in some good info on the MN elk plan and some history on how we got where we are today. The MNDNR is taking public comments till the 22nd on the plan.I spent some time providing my opinions on the plan. My little contribution to helping out the animals...
I got a pair of the Zamberlan 960 Guide GTX and a pair of the 1012 VIOZ from promotive. I purchased the guides over the Hanwag alaska simple cause I already had the VIOZ and I liked them and really couldn't find either anywhere near me to try on. The guides are really stiff but very comfy. I...
