    Bipod or Tripod for rifle elk?

    Looking for some suggestions or recommendations on which route to go for an upcoming elk hunt. I was looking into the portable models not ones that attach onto the rifle. I don’t have experience using either. Just want to have a stable rest that can be set up quickly. Thanks in advance

    Leupold scopes

    Thanks for the input. I also get worried about the bottom of the product line not just with scopes but with any outdoor gear. With a 30-06 I know there is some significant bullet drop out at 400yds which is why I was thinking CDS. However in taking to a leupold rep he cautioned that the dial...

    Leupold scopes

    Looking for opinions on the Leopoldo scope line up. I have a Remington 700 30-06 that I am getting set up for a Colorado rifle elk hunt next season. Any opinions on the Leupold VX Freedom vs the Leupold VX3i? I'm leaning towards the CDS in whatever model I go with but don't see myself shooting...

    Bugle tubes?

    I am considering getting a bugle tube as I have been practicing bugling with mouth calls. I already have a promos terminator bugle that I have used on previous hunts. Would getting a bugle tube be worth the extra money? Do they sound different or more realistic then what I already have. Thanks

    Rifle scopes?

    This is great advice and a huge help for someone that has been out of the rifle game for a while. Given where we hunt, along with my hunting style, it sounds like I don't need to mess with the CDS systems. My budget would put me in the range of the Leopold vx-2 or something comparable. Any...

    Rifle scopes?

    Thanks for the advice. I never really noticed much of an issue with the set up on my gum. However, it's only been used for PA and WI whitetail hunting, a few days each season. I got the gun from my grandpa, and he always liked the flip over mounts for use during deer drives. Anyways... Does...

    Rifle scopes?

    I am considering an OTC rifle hunt in CO this year. It would be my first rifle hunt for elk, we have done archery and muzzleloader the last 5 years. I have a rem 700 30.06 topped with a late 90s flip over mount tasco golden antler scope. My question are: - is it worth upgrading to a new scope...

    Better sights?

    We went with that combination after some online resources and a few guys on here suggested 70-80 grains of the 209. They thought more powder made their groups less consistent. It seems like that combination will put that bullet into the center of a 10 in target at 100 yds , but it's hard to be...
