    Watched this one at a distance (mile) for an hour, and a smaller one, chasing a cow. He started at 1200yds around a bog and started getting curious about our cow call. Took 20min to come from 1200 to 800 yds, then trees... Came out the other side of the trees at 600 yds, Then started at a...

    Rainbow over Newfoundland. I’ll post it later, but respectable 8pt young Bull down Monday at 535yds. Clean heart shot while on the move. Thoroughly recommend “Buck Lake Adventures”. Roger Sheppard is the man running the show. Both me and bud tagged moose, out for bear with hurricane...

    This site. This exact forum is the best you’ll see. I’d not spend tons of time barrel shopping unless you already have a few thousand rounds in a specific caliber. Barrel extensions are where a few hundred dollars lie for swaps. I bought barrels based on what I could get a lot of quality...

    SAC .223 installed. Love that spiral twist. Threw a Area 419 brake on it just because. I’ll head to the back 40 in a bit and let y’all know how she does. I’ve been watching SAC for a long time, so I’m excited!

    Tab PRS. Biathlon if I didn’t do a pack. PRS let me sling it over pack muzzle down and left; could still shoulder quickly enough.

    .338 LM Ammo Choices - Between these two

    Shoot what you can find. My DTA SRS likes everything. I’m sure I can hand load for better groups, but 285gr ELDX seem to smack that 1k yard plate with boring repetition. Issue is finding components. I’ve now got a 400 empty brass cases waiting for primers or powder to see what I can work up...

    Jayden Wolfe was his name; outside of Kremmling CO. GMU 181? 20yo young man; solid guide. Public land “island” with the nearest public ingress about 10mi north of the higher elevation for elk. His family’s cattle ranch surrounding gives BLM access essentially as a trespass fee. Had a little...

    Honestly now that kind makes me want to do a ghille cape, just to be *that guy*. Go for Colorado; can’t say enough good things. Over the counter tags, lots of outfitters and guides.

    Hah; was walking a buddy’s elk cape out last fall. He had the rear quarter, guide had the other rear quarter.

    This. Deadfall and beetle kill aspen. Nasty to orient around or through. Add a cape and a rifle and I like cinching stuff *tight* down to me.

    I like mine. Even with the weight, the length is compact and it Carries well. If I was doing 20mi days every day at altitude at 65… I’d not. At 35, 6’0, 220#… 19# vs 13# just doesn’t seem to matter.

    I did Colorado elk last year. Bringing it to Newfie for moose and SA for kudu this fall and next spring respectively. It’s a hog. No 2 ways about it. 7# mountain rifle she’s not. And you’re going to be humping it as friends make fun of ya. I used a stock SRS in 338 LM. Athlon ares scope...

    Thanks fellas. My 6.5 Creed is “home.” 338LM is -0.6 Mil. Was pondering merely “hey. These index. I hear the new ones doesn’t. Hmmmm.”

    Question for the SAC .223 Conversion guys: Mine is due shortly I know there isn’t a locking detent index machined into the barrel on these. Do you mark or indicate a set position when you change between barrels? Any POI changes barrel to barrel between conversions? Like, if you marked an...
