The effects of vegetation as an intermediate barrier on accuracy and precision is a concept that I have wondered about since my youth reading about brush busting guns and loads in the various hunting magazines. Living out West in the vast openness the...

Check out the new Conejos County range that we just opened in Sept. Great range out to 600 yards, plus more. See the range page at Colorado Parks & Wildlife website. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wow, I thought I'd check this thread out before work and now my head hurts. I can't believe how some folks get wrapped up in color and pop of a particular scope. Are you going to use it for photography or shooting? Who cares as long as you can resolve your target and reticles sufficiently to...

Very nice Frank. Nice to see young ones participating in the sport. Take care, RB

From what I recall in past threads, the brake acts just like you would expect a brake to work. When engaged it does not lock up the turret, but significantly increases the torque needed to make the turret move from the current setting. These are .2 mil increments so a click or two could be...

Excellent advice! I've dealt with a number of these types of calls.

What brand is it? I have a black Eagle stock pack and would be willing to trade for like quality. It has been used, but still in great shape.

Is it typically the first, last or middle round? Before trying any suggestions you get here see if you can self diagnose by dry firing a 5 shot string or by shooting your 5 shots with a dry fire in between each live round. I have that same shift. When it happens to me it is either because...

Sounds like the Refrigerator Effect. You are likely doing something subconsciously that is changing your fundamentals. How many repetitions with the precision rifle do you have under your belt at this point? Executing the fundamentals needs to be automatic allowing you to mentally focus only...

Have you checked to make sure the stock is free floated. I have had very good luck with multiple B&C stocks, but have found that a couple out of 12 that we have do touch slightly and need to be sanded out. It doesn't take much, but it did make a big difference. BTW, these are on regular 700...

Ryan, I would take one of AICS 10 rounders in Multicam. Thanks, Rick

I think he was referring to the white (cream) colored rump patch against the green back drop. However the winter coat of all elk is much lighter and tan colored than the reddish brown of the summer coat. The rump patch is slightly subdued in the summer, but almost always prominent. Older bull...

I'll bite on this one. I have measured quite a few cow elk brisket to shoulder and there are a couple inches of variation. I am going to say that they are about 425 yards away in the first photo. I do this in my day job. Not all the time, but fairly often most of the winter. I'd be curious...

Not being critical. What we do is sometimes very much like that while at other times more office or meeting oriented. Wildlife management is more about managing people and the environment than directly managing critters. There is a bit of hands on with critters, don't get me wrong. There is...

Barely scratches the surface.

Murtaughf3, From the Game Warden angle there are numerous states that the game warden position is law enforcement only. I don't know much about them. I have heard that in some states the game warden position is actually a promotion from trooper. In the mountain west, it tends toward...

You can lead a horse to water...

OP, I concur with Graham. If you bases and rings can't connect the scope and rifle like they should, the money you have invested in those two systems is doing you no good. That is saying nothing about the loss in ammunition. Your post doesn't speak to any rough handling, so I assume that...

Thanks guys, RB
