    Coming Down from the High...What's it like for YOU?

    I am still recovering from a metally exhausting 10 day caribou hunt in AK.. Yes it was physically demanding but I did tag out on the last day with a respectable bull. Well into my 60's, I think its a combination of "hunt stress", 3 hour time zonitis and just getting back into the daily routine...

    .270 Elk Round

    nephew, I plan on using a handloaded 145 ELD-X for next months bull elk huint in NM. That bujllet was designed to be a hunting round and the 143 ELD-X did the job with one shot from my 6.5 CM. Just got back from Alaska and tagged a caribou at 275 yds.. the recovered bullet on the offside weighs...

    Bringing meat home

    I used 18 gallon totes to bring home my meat. With the 50# limit (Delta), anything larger is wasted space.

    sheep rifle ?

    Lots of good advice to ponder over. My Montana 84L .270 Win. weighed out of the box 5# 10 oz. and with Talleys and a 3-9x40 Leupold is now 6# 7 oz.. Certainly a modified pre'64 Fwt. can do the job, but a sheep hunt is a special event that could merit a new rifle. The Montana/.270Win combo is...

    Yukon Dall hunt

    Congrats to your wife on being persistent and focused. The mental battle in sheep hunting is as challenging as the terrain. Great memories for both of you! So did the berry stain come out of the horns?

    kimber montana 338 win mag

    I have had two Kimber Montanas in the past decade and found them to be very tolerable on the bench. My typical handload is with 225gr bullets. The recoil is more of a push than a sharper jab like in a Montana in 300 WM.. Certainly both the 30-06 and 338WM will handle everything in NA even the...

    Kimber Mountain Ascent opinions needed

    I have hunted extensively with the Montana 84L and the 84M. For what you are asking, I would get the 7mm-08 in a Montana. I do not believe the $600+ for the MA is worth about 6 ounces. I believe a rifle can be too light and you are asking for accuracy issues if your tecnhique is not perfect. I...

    Need help picking a better digi-scoping set up. Thanks

    I had the same problem with my 7+ and they accepted a return. Cameraland and maybe others has one that shows promise called a Carson Hookupz 2.0. I am told it is a bit of an erector set and learning curve but worth the effort. I do not have one yet but that is the best updated info I have.

    Why do I have an obscured view of my typing?

    My typing has, even as I type this, a ghost image over my words - I can't see any typos or bad sentence structure. Am I too new of a poster?
