    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I love that caliber as well. I finally outfitted mine with an MDT Field Stock. Right at 9.5lbs with a scope. I don't expect a lot of walking since, well, I am disabled and can't walk much over 100-200 yards at a time. I had a carbon stock on it and I loved the weight, but the dimensions were...

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I watched a video on YouTube. Couple from NC that review different rifles, hunting equipment, etc. The went elk hunting in Oregon for cow. They took two. Hunting with a 7 PRC, the guy took his cow with two shots and she took hers with 4 shots. They were not at all bad shots. Those cows...

    I have a 308 as well. I may give the 130 TTSX a try.

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    I am holding on the the 7-08, 6.5CM, and the 280 AI. I am going to play around with some different monolithic handloads to see what comes up the best for performance, accuracy, and recoil. Got a message and looking like the ID elk, maybe mule deer, is going to be a go for 2026. Happy...

    I just sold mine. I am regretting some, but it went to a good home.

    7MM-08, max range for deer/elk?

    100%. That is my realization as well. The bullet performance will be substantial beyond my comfortable shooting distance.

    7MM-08, max range for deer/elk?

    I think it also has to do with velocity at range and KE. If those are extremely low, you may not get proper penetration.

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    Question for all of you wise folks - Should I shoot my never before shot Tikka Ace Game 6.5 PRC just to see what the recoil is like, or based on my thought of not keeping it, sell it as like new. Do you think it being shot a few times will reduce the value by a lot?

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    Based on your inputs, and a buddy of mine, after deer season, I am going to play with different bullet weights and loads in my 280 AI. If I can get the recoil down where it is comfortable for deer hunting and practice, then upload for a possible elk hunt (still within my area of comfort), I may...

    Field Aids for Disabled Hunters - Hauling, Dressing, Skinning, Transport, etc.

    I wanted to get this one from the field I hunted in. We moved it a good ways off. Did not want to disturb the deer or have coyotes coming into the field, although I would enjoy shooting a few.

    Field Aids for Disabled Hunters - Hauling, Dressing, Skinning, Transport, etc.

    I want to find the method and tools with the least physical strain and just get good at doing it that way. I got spoiled the last few years with my late son's best friend on his family farm. They would dress and quarter without me saying a word. I would usually share a backstrap. They have a...
