Spotting Scope Recommendations
Instead of the spotter, I'm going to upgrade my binos and pick up a night stalker tripod. I'm between the leupold BX-2 Alpine 10x50 or bigger or something from Maven. No experience with Maven so we will see. Definitely need something for elk hunting, probably could get away with what I have now... -
Seek outside guardian
Have a Seek Outside Cimmaron and a lite outdoors cylinder stove which works great but I’m looking to get another tent in the 2 person variety. I came across the the guardian 2 and I’m stuck between it and the Viam Bridger which are the basically the same except the Viam comes with a nest and is...- WVmike

Heat source options for tent camping.
Used a lite outdoors 18 inch titanium stove last year with the tipi tent in second season rifle in Colorado last year and it was the difference between being absolutely miserable to being tolerable when sleeping. Every few hours we would have to add wood which was a pain but it's not like the...- WVmike

This would be good for any ungulates. Probably not as flashy or not enough monetary gains as resurrecting a species. The world we live in is crazy.- WVmike

A bigger wolf that will have even more affect on wildlife populations. The next time I go elk hunting in colorado, I'll be site seeing and counting the number of elk, deer carcasses along the way.- WVmike

Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
He has a .243 already just looking for suggestions when he's around 12 or so maybe a little older. He has already asked me about getting something with a little more knockdown power which is another discussion in it's own right. Maybe he is saying that because I use a 7mm and sees that hey dad... -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
The featherweight model is an option and they also have a featherweight compact. I think he would do well with a .308 in a few years especially if I had a muzzle brake/suppressor. -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
I want something that I can have muzzle brake for and when I finally clamp down and buy a suppressor I could easily put it on his rifle also. -

Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
Thanks for the info, this is why I am asking for advice. I have no experience with Bergara. My personal pick would be nudge him towards the Model 70 or Seekins which I do have experience with. If you you don't mind me asking what model did you have? -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
I sat down with my son and we checked out numerous sites for rifle manufacturers from Winchester, Remington, Ruger, Seekins, Bergara, Tikka, Browning, and a few others and he was between the Winchester Model 70 Super Grade, Bergara Ridge Carbon Wilderness, Seekins PH2/PH3 and the Tikki T3x UPR... -
GUNWERKS
I would rather shoot great groups and hit the target with an average run of the mill rifle rather than have the best system in the world and have terrible groups and not be able to hit anything. Some things are more valuable to me in regards to shooting than the actual rifle itself like glass... -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
My favorite rifle I currently have is my Seekins PH2 in 7mm Rem Mag which I would think would be a little much for him. I also have my dad's Model 70 Sporter in .264 Win Mag and that's about the same situation with the 7mm. The .308 that I do have is an adl with a pretty heavy Choate stock that... -

Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
If that rifle could tell a story, it would be amazing for sure. My son likes the .243 that I bought him a few years ago but he has already asked me about something else. It's probably because it's a plain jane Ruger American. He has shot 3 deer with it so far so it does the job. -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
Currently researching which rifle to pick up for my son who is currently 10 but I would like to get him a nice rifle when he turns 13/14 and is in high school so I have a few years. He uses a .243 now it is a Ruger American and he does fine with it. I would just like to get a him a nice rifle... -

What would you fit in that? Doesn't even look like it's big enough to store a couple of lollipops lol- WVmike

Round In The Chamber
I have since the time I was old enough to hunt with my dad always had one in the chamber. I think at times it depends on the conditions. We have some pretty big hay fields that are commonly occupied by deer in the evenings and sometimes mornings, so I may not have one in the chamber until I'm...
