Got a few extra pounds of elk that won't fit in the cooler for the trip home- anyone got recommendations for a processor in the SLC area? Thanks in advance!
Man what an incredible experience and a beautiful animal. Currently sitting through my last day of work before flying out for elk near there this weekend, and reading up on adventures like this has the stoke level through the roof. Congrats on an awesome harvest and lifetime memory.
Man that's funny, I had the exact inverse experience... finally caved and bought a brand new T3X and its headspace was off, would put deep ejector marks into 3 of 5 brands of factory ammo I tried just cycling them through the action without firing. Sent it in and they said "seems fine to us"
Do...
First I'd heard of rear baffle wear. Wouldn't happen to have a pic or two would ya?
Always kinda babied mine honestly but never seen anything like that
Arguably the best factory hunting rifles ever made, possibly even over the Fieldcraft. Strong chance that comes on my first sheep hunt when I get AK residency
Beautiful buck, congrats. Only similarity between this and the tag I hunted near there in '22 is the scenery where yall killed yours. We saw 3 legal bucks in 5 days of scouting and hunting, and killed the largest.
Evidently we were on the tail end of a pretty severe drought, but man the game...
Late to the thread here, but I have a 1500 Alpine in .243 that is a "chopstick-" 6 pounds ish scoped and loaded with the Bansner stock. It's a fantastic rifle, but definitely not the easiest to shoot well at really long distances- which doesn't really matter for me since I never shoot past 300...
I kinda used to think this was true, but that public lands selloff turned into a real dick dance for the Mike Lee types. Dude I went to college with works on the hill and said people were avoiding him (Lee) like he had leprosy the whole week that was going down, while his staff was scrambling to...
This is more common than the opposite these days with all the environmental exposures out there. Since the chemical diaspora of the 50s, there have been literally thousands of endocrine disrupting chemicals that have become ubiquitous. It's easy to throw up your hands in defeat because of how...
Thousand percent. I'm in a training pipeline right now and have ten days off the whole year... happen to have drawn a leftover cow tag and could not be more stoked. Truly anchoring my sanity through this whole process. 28 days!
Simply another incarnation of Mike Lee's attempt to commercialize public lands. Unfortunately, very few politicians receive as many campaign donations from elk and mule deer as they do from big corporations, and their actions reflect that. The end state here is not a few logging roads- it's...
Pretty sure most people dislike influencers by this point. Generally narcissistic, take lots and give little to the resource, and have questionable morals at best... all for attention from strangers online.
Look at the recent Mike Lee public lands grab. A lot of them were out there peddling...
Hopping on the train here. I had a CA Mesa that patterned like a smoothbore musket. Sent it back twice, they said they swapped barrels, but it never improved much. Absolute POS.
Also watched a dude at a range few months ago fight with one of the infamous Fierce 6.5 PRCs to get it to load...
