    Hunting & Fishing 2014 Elk Hunt

    Thanks guys I am very happy with him. SavageSlayer now elk hunting is in your blood and it is a disease but a good one just ask my wife. :D The hunt was by Cody Wyoming and I wish you could hunt Grizzly's in the lower 48 but you cannot because the tree huggers take any state to court that tries...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    I am back from my elk hunt and had a not so great bear encounter I was packing the 40 S&W the morning it happened and I carried that the rest of the trip and you can read about the encounter and hunt here. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-hunting-fishing/274288-2014-elk-hunt.html...

    Hunting & Fishing 2014 Elk Hunt

    So our 2014 elk hunt started off the first day with horse trailers and hunters in every spot that I wanted to go. We had walked back the two miles to spike camp and there were 6 guys on horseback already camped in that drainage. So we glassed the rest of the day and saw nothing and made a move...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    Thank you gentleman for the posts so far. Wyfox yes there is a bear problem out there and Mike Eastman said it best in a hunting video of his a few years back they were hunting in Alaska by boat and came across a Grizzly on shore. Mike looked at the guide and said you know the difference...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    No apology needed I freely admit I am not a good pistol shot I do not shoot them enough I am starting to shoot them more. I would take a long gun over a pistol any day even on close up shots I know I am more accurate with one of those. The recoil does not bother me on the 41 the trigger pull...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    Sadly it happens every year out there to a couple of people it is a shame for sure I am not going to be too far north of there about 50 miles and that mountain range has a lot of Grizzly's. So I took the 41 out last night and was practicing some quick draw shots at 25 yards and If I cock the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    I should add I will have a 375 Ultra Mag with me because I am rifle hunting Elk. The handgun and bear spray are for if I am on a long hike and the 375 is in the pack or I am in camp sleeping or not by my rifle. The first choice is the 375 the other two are if I cannot for some reason get to the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 S&W over 41 Mag for Grizzly Bear Protection?

    I am not a handgun expert or shooter by any means I have a couple of them but I am a long gun guy. I have a Ruger red hawk in a 41 mag and it is heavy it weighs 3.5 lbs empty and I am shooting Cast Performance 250gr. WFNGC in it. I shot an S&W M&P in a 40 S&W with 180 FMJ’s side by side with...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Slipping

    I have an update. The scope on the 375 Ultra seems to be holding with the new Mark 4 rings and 30 inch lbs. The 338 scope is toast and is being sent in with a request of a new one. Even with the Mark 4 rings at 35 inch lbs the scope will not hold and still moves. The rings were sprayed with...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Slipping

    I appreciate the input on the scopes as for the brakes If you are running a 13lbs and 16 lbs rifle you would have a lot less recoil then these rifles. I built the rifles for high country backpack Elk hunting so they are light weight mountain type rifles that can still shoot long range and be...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Slipping

    You are shooting a 260 and 308 those do not have much recoil. The 338 edge and 375 rum weigh 10.5 lbs ready to go and even with a brake have about 3 times the recoil of a 260 or 308. That said my Leupold never moved on my 375 rum for the two years it was on there using Burris Zee rings even...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Slipping

    I have some rosin for taking rifle barrels off but I really do not want to take that route if I can avoid it. Back in the day no one ever used inch lbs wrench's you tightened the ring screws until you could not tighten them anymore and it was good. :D

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Slipping

    I do not want to open that can of worms at this point so I am keeping that to myself as of right now. Last night I took a new set of Burris Tactical rings that are not lapped and put them on the 375 Ultra. I started at 20 inch lbs and finally at 45 inch lbs they seem to be holding. Yes I know...
