I like old style. I had a bro in law bring it down from chicago when he came for holidays. We can get it now in southern illinois. A little surprised you can get it in iowa.
I asked the same thing when Buzz first posted. Was thinking of a 6.5 prc for my sisters elk rifle. Maybe not. Most likely go with the tried and true 7mm hunttalk.
Jim harmer (backfire guy) recommended these for a while for budget rifles.
OP made his choice but I would have recommended to save more and buy a tikka.
When illinois opened bobcat season there was 500 permits available. $5 to put into the draw. A bunch of antis put into the draw and won a few permits. Quota raised to 2000. Like several have mentioned, agencies will just raise quotas.
County failed to plow my road so i hooked up the blade to the tractor and plowed the road to the blacktop road. Im guessing we got close to a foot of snow.
Dog loves the snow.
@Sytes??
The same handle is active over on rokslide. I would send him a PM but dont have the message count required. Hard to comment on threads like "of course a .223 is big enough for elk with the right bullet" threads.
