Rifle question
Gun Smith said that the gun looked fine and made reference to a few reasons why he thought it would be ok. Want me to shoot a few more and inspect the casings for any irregularities. Going to shoot this weekend and see. I'm glad everything is ok. I really cant believe I did that. -

Rifle question
Hey all. I'm sure many of you will know about guns than myself so I figured I'd ask you all.... I recently got a Winchester model 70 extreme weather in 338 win mag. I got 2 boxes of ammo to brake in and sight in. Took a shell from the box, shot it and it didn't eject, though it was loose... -

Scope question

Scope question
I am between 2-10 and 3-15... I really don't think I'd take a shot past 3 or 4 hundred yards and this is for elk and moose, so it's not like I'm shooting woodchuck. I'm leaning away from firedot. But what about the CDS system? Worth it? I am not the guy who puts 100s of shots down range. I... -
Scope question
Looking at putting a new scope on a winchester model 70 extreme weather as in 338 win mag. Looking at leupold VX 5HD 2-10... questions are: Using this for moose an elk, should I get firedot or std duplex Ok? Also side focus worth the added cost? CDS system worth added cost? And there's a... -
Double checking my understanding of MT points
I'm planning an archery elk hunt in 2019 and have spoke to Montana's fish and game about points. No expert, but the outfitter we are going with hunts 1 area that uses a pref. Point and 1 that uses bonus point. The odds of drawing go up about 20% with a point. So if say it's worth it to buy...
