I used to shoot 308 a lot and was looking at getting into reloading but just never did; moved and stopped shooting as much. I now have an elk hunt booked in Wyoming for 2021 and need to buy a new rifle and practice. The local range here I can shoot 100-400 from bench, prone, and seated...

well said, thank you

Awesome! My dream hunt is a cougar hunt.

I've been thinking/researching for quiet some time on this and just cannot make up my mind. I am looking to put together an elk gun. I've always lived in the midwest; and now Tennessee so some of my analysis may be incorrect as I've never hunted elk before. I am under the assumption that most...

Personally I would never spend more than $100 for a field knife, they are so easy to put down and loose while dressing/quartering an animal.

I appreciate the information. I could get into coyote hunting... TN seems like a great place to live from when we've visited and everything we've read in deciding where we would like to relocate.

Due to work my wife and I are talking about moving to Nashville for a larger job market and to enjoy the culter, life style, and scenery. Everything about the area is appealing to us. I work in IT and all my research boasts that Nashville is experiencing huge growth in this industry. I am...

Re: SS20x42 questions the 16x does sound like the better option for me. How is the tracking on these scopes?
