    Might not have to worry about a Hogue stock. I placed an order on Friday morning. I got my order number right away and was told that I would get an email confirmation that afternoon since I ordered it at 9:30AM. Well that never happened. I didn't expect much over the weekend so I called today at...

    I looked around and Hogue full bed block had the better recommendations short of a Mcmillian that I wont pay that much for. I am not a fan of putting another wood/laminate due to weather, heat and moisture. Bell and carlson doesn't make a replacement stock for the M77 Mark II. I've never had a...

    The Ruger's stock is in pretty bad shape. It has seen some harsh days in the field and the wood needs to be replaced. The trigger, well everyone knows about the Ruger triggers from 25 years ago and while we are going to get this far in to a rebuild, we are going to have the barrel cerakoted. The...

    My son shot his first deer with the ruger and it’s on the to do list just for him regardless of what we decide to do. If it was a 30-06 I would just put the new trigger and stock on it and call it a day. Nice to have a wife who loves to hunt and doesn’t mind gun porn :hump:

    Having never killed an elk and listening to others on here for the need of quick follow up shots had me thinking. I also considered a 308 or 3006 barrel for the encore so we could get a heavier bullet as the 280 Nosler partition only gets to 160 grains. Maybe I’m over thinking the bullet weight...

    I’ve acquired a few .280’s, not the AI’s. Wife has a Browning BAR in a 7mm. Been debating an elk gun that doesn’t weigh a metric ton like the BAR. One of the 280’s is a single shot and doesn’t offer quick second shots. The other is a Ruger M77 mark 2 and needs a trigger job and could certainly...

    Anyone shoot a single shot out there?

    I've had a tc encore in a .280 for over a decade. I bought it because I liked the idea of getting new barrels but other than the muzzle loader, I've never gotten a new one. The single shot doesn't make me a better hunter or marksman, I just enjoy the idea of one shot. I've been seriously...

    Cubic feet of elk

    I would use FRP to line the inside of that custom box. By the way, I've got a new project thanks to you. :)

    Who All is Retired and How Do You Do It?

    Laelkhunter, my mom was a retired Orleans Parish School Teacher. I know all too well of what you are talking about because I've handled their finances for years. It is tragic to know that you've paid in to a system for years and will never recoup those dollars. I am 49 and have two defined...

    Colorado 4th Season Cow Elk - My First Elk

    Yes sir. Great job and the remorse you feel is natural for taking the life of an animal and shows that you are a true hunter and sportsman.

    Tips for getting in shape for backcountry

    I've seen the posts above about the mental issues. There is one thing that elk hunters do not lack in is those same mental issues. It's amazing to see grown men act like covert CIA spies over an animal.:D

    First Elk Application Done!

    We looked in to that unit and there is just too much wilderness that I cannot access for me to enjoy. Then my wife tells me something about not liking grizzly's or something like that.

    He may be snorkeling. I'd verify that he is dead before trying to cut his head off, just saying:rolleyes:

    So long TV - Hello Amazon

    Randy As someone who has Amazon Prime and never used it until now, I know I am really slow learner, and who has really enjoyed the YouTube platform. I think this is a great move and you can further tell your story without fear of censorship by the network executives. It is a move that needed to...
