    40 or 50 MM scope ?

    I like my 50mm (300 WM) but it has it's draw backs: It's heavier, requires taller mounts, bigger surface so more glare so you need a sun shade so it weighs even more. With the extra weight & height the mounts and rings take more recoil punishment. But I love that extra couple of minutes of low...

    Scope Mount Failures? anyone else?

    Anyone else seen scope mount failures? I've had it happen to me twice now and seen it a third time. (15 yrs between events) First time: 300 Ultra Mag sighting in new rifle, rear screw broke off after approx. 12 rds. Second time: 300 Win Mag, check gun on before starting hunt, scope came off...

    AZ elk help

    Not much of a chance to draw as a NR in AZ without points. I can't recommend trying to build up enough points. I've got 14 now, I can draw archery tag and some of the later rifle but none of the ones I want. Spend your Elk hunting dollars elsewhere or move to AZ.

    No problem on the "hijack", glad you got the info! I'm booked on a fishing trip, so no safety class ..... this year.

    AZ Elk, what units to apply for?

    I know this is a very subjective question with lots of variables but any thoughts are welcome. I want a chance to take a nice bull, a B&C would be a dream. I've been lucky enough to take Cow & Bulls in WA, OR, MT & CO but the years are creeping up, so it's time try for something special. I know...
