Yeah, you won't regret it. Nice thing about Leupold, too, is you can always get your money back out of it if you want something different. Doubt you'll dislike a Vx-3i though. Good luck this season!
What I'm saying is a lot of three shot groups are going to have a flier. I mean let's say you shoot two shot groups and "dag-gum-it I always have a flier." Well that "flier" is not a flier, the gun just doesn't like the load or the gun just doesn't shoot. All I'm suggesting to the OP is to...
On our late season cow hunt last year we got in 4 miles and spotted a herd of 19 cows bedded in a great location at the 5.8 mile marker. Wouldn't have hesitated to drop one if there wouldn't have been snow drifts up to our knees. Walking away still hurts, but I think it was the smart thing to do.
That's where I got mine last summer. There is a $50 mail in rebate on them right now. And Cabelas does have the .300WM in stock, but there's a limited supply. Here's the url.

That's what my research has shown. I mean you can't expect to get an OTC tag and have the place all to yourself. But it's OTC for a reason--there's plenty of elk. I won't hesitate to hunt OTC in Colorado after I get some more experience on cows and burn through my points. Just got into the...
I had to make the same decision last summer when coming up with a load for my new browning hells canyon long range in 7mm. In the end I decided I would let the VLD's talk for themselves. The bullets are notoriously super consistent and accurate which definitely proved true for me. Got to test...
The best thing you can do is elk hunt as much as you can. You can definitely learn a ton watching videos and doing research, but at the end of the day you're not going to have it all figured out on your first hunt. Just go hunting, be mentally prepared that it's not going to be easy, be...
I don't know why you would need more gun than the 7mm RM. I mean since when do 168 gr. pills @ 3000 fps with a .618 BC not get the job done (yeah, I'm shooting Bergers). Then add in your shoulder issue and you definitely need to go pick up a 7. The .300 is better at killing if you put it...
I just read the Arizona regulations for the first time the other day, and that's what I read. I don't see how you could get two years of applications in on one license in Arizona.
Thanks for correcting me. Those in the link look antique worthy compared to the new pair. The pair in the link appears to be around 9 years old according to the reviews. And yeah, I exaggerated a little in my previous comment. Still, Leupold has been one of the last to come out with a more...
