    Shooting tripod or glassing tripod

    I use a BOG Red legged devil aluminum tripod. Super light weight. I have a yoke for my rifle and a head for my binos. I shot an elk off of them 2 years ago @315yds. Rock solid and light weight.

    High Priced Camo

    Before last season I upgraded all of my camo. I wanted to go lighter and still be warm. I decided to go with NOMAD. I went with the Mossy Oak droptine camo and it works awesome. I bought the early season gear and the late season stuff also. So far it has held up and performed as expected. It is...

    High Priced Camo

    I wear Wrangler ATG fleece lined pants. The are awesome and very comfortable. For the money, they are the best hunting pants that I have found.

    Doom and gloom for elk hunting this season

    I was fortunate to draw a 1st season bull tag on the edge of the reduced tag area in 231. This unit has always had plenty of elk and mule deer. With the reduced tags, there should be less hunters in the woods and maybe less elk. Still have to get there and put in the miles to find out. Good luck...

    Elk reacting to being shot with rifle???

    I shot mine across a big draw @ 315 yds. Two 162gr ELD-X out of my 7mm dropped him like a rock. Didn't take 2 maybe 3 steps. Dirtnap. blacksheep

    Colorado GMU 86 elk and deer

    We saw 3 big shooters the night before season and nothing after that. The country is very steep and rugged. There are several old burns there and that might be the place to go if you can get there. Good luck.

    Rifle upgrade! Tikka T3x

    I bought a Tikka superlite in 300 WM last fall for an awesome price. I decided to upgrade it. I bought a take off 300 WM medium heavy barrel (D-18) like the ones from their widelads rifle. Happened to find a widelands stock and replaced the horrible buttpad with a limbsaver. Ordered a angled...

    Tikka .300 WM ?

    I have a Tikka T3X Veil Widelands in 300 WM. It is still a lightweight rifle and it shoots awesome. I'd use the muzzle brake for sure. Great trigger. Taking mine to Colorado this fall for elk. blacksheep

    Remington Actions

    A Christensen Mesa with the same scope that I am running is around 8 lbs. My rifle weighs 8 lbs scoped.

    Remington Actions

    To each their own. I didn't want a Christensen. I looked at them and they are nice rifles, don't get me wrong. I had a rifle in mind that I had wanted to build since I started hunting out west. I went to the point of weighing all of the components. I wanted this rifle build to be everything that...

    He squared the receiver locking lug recesses, receiver face and the bolt face bolt face. It cost me about $350.

    Remington Actions

    I built a 700 about 3 years ago. I started with a factory magnum long action receiver. I had the receiver trued, bolt fluted and a sako extractor installed. As for the barrel, at that time wait timed from most of the big names were 6-12 months out. I called Douglas barrels in Cross Lanes West...

    Remington Actions

    I had a custom 700 in 7mm built for me a couple of years ago. I started with a factory action and went from there. I had the action trued and ended up having a sako style extractor added since the factory extractor would not extract. It shoots better than I can. 1/2 to 3/4 MOA easy.

    Remington Actions

    I started with a Tikka t3x superlite in 300WM. I ended up with what is a Tikka widelands with the new d18 fluted barrel and a muzzle brake. I sold the stock and the original barrel and had the bolt fluted and had the barrel cerakoted black. blacksheep
