    It's in Barry. Last I knew the RKBA range is still only out to 200 yards since they started redoing their backstops. Yeah I used to do RKBA for the 500 and 700.. still only 200 right now. I'll give them a call and see when they're going to get the long targets up. Sent from my SM-G930R4...

    Hunting & Fishing Who else out there hunts state land??

    I have nearly 1000 acres of public land at my disposal right outside our small town in the midwest. Weekends are almost comical. You walk down the trail head and count the hunters Sitting just off the side of it... I have patterned the deer, and as the hunters move in, they go deep. Yes I make...

    First Long Range Rifle

    I just snagged a Steiner 3x15x50 TX5i off the hide with seekin rings for $1200 for my 6.5 x 284 custom build. I will be shooting 700yds today and 15x is plenty magnification. I was set on getting a NF scope originally but they didn't offer exactly what I wanted for the price I was willing to...

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of a used Nightforce NXS

    I am looking for a hunting scope also, Nightforce is an option. I have looked more into the shv than the nxs, This Thread just reinforces my thoughts. A good hunt out west May cost $5,000 all things included, if an extra few hundred dollars could mean the difference between sealing the deal or...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRTSi 4.5-18 vs Sig Sauer Tango6 3-18x

    I have been looking at the Sig series scopes lately since I saw one in a field and streams magazine. I wish I had a dealer near to look through one.. my buddies want me to get one, but I'm going to keep reading reviews for now since I have time on my side. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

    Rifle Scopes 1300 budget for optic

    Lots of useful information for me in this post! I've looked through a Burris XTR recently and was very impressed. I've wanted to look info the SHVS for my current 6.5x284 build though. Is it even a contest? I've always wanted to own a Nightforce, but I hate paying for a name. Sent from my...

    Nightforce ATACR vs Leupold Mk 4

    I'm in the process of ordering an ACTAR for a 6.5 284 I'm building, but have never looked through one. However, I do have a lightweight 308 that I enjoy hunting with. It's a browning X-bolt stainless stalker with a 20in barrel. I have a leupold vx3 4.5-14x40 onto top and it is awesome for what...

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for Ideas on a Western Hunt

    Bow hunting is my favorite. I guess I didn't consider myself ready to tackle that challenge out West yet. New Mexico does not have a points system correct? If I pay for a guided elk hunt, it would almost have to be with a bow to satisfy me. I wish I had more time to burn, usually I have about 1...

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for Ideas on a Western Hunt

    It sounds like I need to work up a location deep in the public grounds if I want a good shot at an elk. My knowledge of elk and their habits I'd very minimal, but I have time on my side. I do feel that my friends and I lack, as a group, the equipment and resources to handle such a hunt in deep...

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for Ideas on a Western Hunt

    Do you have any recommendations on where in Colorado? I hear the army of orange is overwhelming there and the success rates are relatively low without some sort of mule to get in or a guide service. thanks!

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for Ideas on a Western Hunt

    I'm looking for a DIY spot and stalk hunt with over-the-counter tags somewhere out west (I'm in Illinois). Last year I went to Wyoming for Antelope and had good time, although the public land was mostly landlocked and inaccessible. Aoudad peaked our interest lately, however, we cannot afford a...

    Loudandproud, I was about to type a post that would have been almost identical. I also have a group of 4 looking to do a self guided hunt in Texas. Good luck, I will be checking this post for updates!

    Building My First Bolt Gun

    Thanks guys, there is a lot to consider. If I could justify and afford a barret, I would have one haha. I'm looking for a Nightforce and have found a couple 4x14 SHVs for sale. Any thoughts on where these stand compared to Leopold? I've looked through the VX3 and mark 4s before. Recently I...

    Building My First Bolt Gun

    I am in the process of gathering parts to build my first bolt rifle and am looking for thoughts, ideas, and any details that might get overlooked. I'm set on 6.5 x 284 for this build, mainly because I've shot a few and like their performance (really considered a 7 mag though). The purpose of...
