OK Cam... Keep hammering.

You and @JLS are the ones who are lifting heavy and wearing spandex

And a $30,000 San Carlos bull with a bow is much more challenging than a general tag 6 point with a rifle. #liftrunshoot #keephammering

Don’t be hating bro.

Uuhhh...no hating here. Sorry if you took it that way.

The key to 1000 yard shooting is having a few beers to steady your nerves and smooth out that trigger press.

In Wyoming, your 1000 yard rifle will be limited to 250 yards when the wind is gusting between 40-60mph.

If lead ain't flying... things ain't dying

Finally some sensible advice.

He's new here. I think that he's missing the joke.

The right palm swell helps with that. The hand craves it...

JLS is rolling with the hard stuff last few nights...a little physical labor can promote that.
I think he has spun towards delusion.

best practical advice so far ! Although I agree the flat brim hat, properly worn, is equally important

Change of strategy here folks...

Ericvgrath is y'er HT buddy that will hook you up! $1k, no problem. Only thing, it's has to be via PayPal, "Friends and Family". He'll get you set with all the fixins' to sling lead to the opposing mountainside. Trust me.

Hi all,

Drew an elk tag that might require long shots. I need a rifle that will hold 0.5 MOA to 1000 yards. I hear 6.5 PRC is good. Budget is $1000. Let me know what you have.

I saw this in the swap and trade forums....

 

[RaiderRich]

Why are you guys hating on the 6.5 Creedmoor, why it can kill things from a long ways away. I found some video of the testing of the cheapest 6.5 Creedmoor that shows how deadly it can be, why video even shows it being used from the air to hunt wild pigs. They are comparing it to the 6.5 RPM I believe

I hear surplus stores may carry them.

Uhhhh... don’t be hatin on the the white claws bruh, far more accurate when sending em down range!

Any man that drinks white Claws automatically can only own a 6.5 creedmoor. I’m just saying

That has nothing on a Amish family deer drive.

Buying a “1,000 yd” gun with the intention of shooting an elk at 1000 yards is like buying a 1/2 ton pick up with “11,000 lb towing capacity“ and using it to tow an 11,000 lb trailer to the job site every day. Shots at that kinda distance are fun from a solid rest, at the range and maybe good training to push your personal limits. I would hope you are a very good, consistent, capable and ethical hunter to take a shot at that range on an animal...and you very well may be, so I’m not judging you. Just something to consider for others who may read this and think it’s worth a try without LOTS of skill and practice.

I tow a 40’ toy hauler with my Tundra. I got this.

That’s what I’m talking ‘bout. That’s why I want to use VLDs, so I know I got one in them.
