Deep Freeze and Cooler
I have two 52 Quart Artics. They claim that their measurements are the actual quarts it will fit, unlike the "competition". I could barely get a quartered out/processed bull into the two. I'm buying a third for next year's trip. Upright is the way to go as far as freezers, but it looks... -

Optimum magnification range on scope for elk rifle?
3X - anything. I have found over the years that a lower low end is way more useful than a higher high end. I don't even like using my 4.5-14 anymore after getting into the Leupold HD lineup with the 3X low end. My buddy insisted on a 6-24 for his first elk hunt. He missed an opportunity... -

Favorite rifles in safe and why
Right now it is my Bergara Premier Approach in 6.5 PRC. What a gun! I also love my Browning A-Bolt Stalker from 1996ish, in 7mm mag. I have walked a lot of miles with it and made tons of memories, including my first whitetail. It has a Leupold 4.5-14 on it that I go back and forth with... -

Nosler Rifles
While I have no personal experience, I followed a thread elsewhere on a Nosler 21. 6.5 Creedmore or PRC, can't remember... It looked and sounded super promising, but then the guy had horrible problems with it, no luck with help from Nosler, and he ended up sending it back and buying something... -

PRC Cartridges?
Yes. I do not currently own one, but I am in the process of picking one out. While I have not been checking religiously, that ammo has been pretty darn hard to find at non-gunbroker prices. So when I found some in stock I bought it. Now I know that when I pick out a rifle, I can shoot it...- LongCut

PRC Cartridges?
I just bought 180 rds of 300 PRC ammo. So in my mind, I am committed to buying a rifle in 300 PRC. Then maybe when I am done with that, the 7mm PRC will be an option..... I need a less expensive hobby!!!!- LongCut

Scope ideas
Have you ever tried a "red dot" before? I shot a buck at around 1130 last year. He was uphill and had the sun behind him. That red dot made a huge difference..... I bought my first Leupy HD without the firedot reticle, and have some regret now. Better to have it and not need it in my opinion. -

Scope ideas
This! Or go VX6HD 3-18 with firedot. I have both. Both are awesome. -

PRC Cartridges?
https://backfire.tv/7mm-prc/ Great. Now I am going to need a 300 PRC and a 7 PRC. Maybe I will sell everything else and just be a PRC guy?- LongCut

PRC Cartridges?
7mm PRC? I would say I wish I would have waited, but now I have a 6.5 PRC. I intend on a 300 PRC, and should have stockpiled so ammo when I had the chance a few months ago. I bought a few hundred rounds of 6.5 PRC before I even got the gun, just to make sure I could shoot it. I just found more...- LongCut

Leupold VX5 HD
I have three VX5s. Only regret is not getting the firedot. I too am very happy with the 44mm objective. So last year I bought a VX6 with the firedot. Love it. -
