    Vanguard Talon vs Mark V Hunter

    One thing i noticed on mark V was the lighter contour barrel, what caliber do you shoot and have you had issues with accuracy when barrel heats up? How many shots can you fire before accuracy suffers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vanguard Talon vs Mark V Hunter

    Been doing some light shopping for a new rifle chambered in something I can get ammo for (been shooting .270wsm for 16 years). I came upon these two Weatherby rifles and here is my question. Is the vanguard (Howa) with the better carbon fiber stock and fluted barrel the better value, or is it...

    First Colorado Elk Hunt / Which Boots to Bring?

    Glad to see the thread brought back to life. My experience last year was: Ended up buying a pair of Scarpa Maverick Mid GTX boots (uninsulated) and broke them in during my training rucks before the hunt. First day on the ground in Colorado our area was recovering from early snow storm. On our...

    I have a package of Cabela's (Koola Buck) Anti Microbial Game Bags in size large (Deer/Antelope) they have never been opened, and I am going on a cow elk hunt in october and was hoping that I could use them and not have to drop more money, although they are admittedly heavy.

    .270 WSM 130gr copper extreme point for cow elk?

    That is definitely the other worry. The rifle shoots well, but all i have ever fed it was factory loads of Winchester ballistic silver tips. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .270 WSM 130gr copper extreme point for cow elk?

    So due to the obvious ammo shortages, plus the fact that i recently moved and all of my reloading stuff is in boxes, I have been scrambling to locate ammo for my upcoming cow elk hunt in Colorado in October. After months of calling all the shops i scored 3 boxes of the 100% copper extreme points...

    New Office/Reloading Room Ideas - Layout

    Finally moved the family to San Antonio, TX and we are now in process of closing on a home. Good news, I will have a designated office in which to work (unfortunately) but also to use as the "gun room". The catch is, it has glass French doors and the wife says it must look "nice" and...
