    Best two radio?

    Any radio will work very well on water because there are normally no obstructions. It would technically be illegal to use your marine radio any other place than on a body of water. It would probably work as good as any similar handheld with the same power output though. It would be nice because...

    Varmint Coyote Caliber (22-250 or 223)

    For me I would Look for a fast twist 22-250. Make sure you look at what the barrel twist on the 22-250 is. Some rifles come with a 1-14 twist which will limit what bullets you can shoot accurately past about 200 yards. A fast twist 22-250 is a sweet rifle

    2 lost elk and conclusions.

    How can your friend claim a double lung shot if he thought he missed and didn't find any blood? In my experience the most important thing to clean kills is being proficient and confidant in your setup. Being able to spot your shot is key to me. You need to be able to know weather you hit or...

    Seating depth testing - good ES/SD, poor accuracy?

    Load up groups 3 cartridges starting at your .015 measurement and seat .003 deeper for each group. I would try 5-7 groups and see how they group. Most likely you will find 2-3 that group really well then choose the longest one. When I am developing loads I don't even pay attention to the group...

    BLM on two corners with Private on the other two, ok to cross corner?

    If you are on foot and have some type of GPS tracking device that you can show you crossed at the corner a game warden won't cite you unless you area violating some other rules. If the landowner calls the county sheriff they will cite you for criminal trespassing. Game wardens generally only...

    Wall tent for family camping?

    If you are going to get a SXS get an enclosed trailer to haul it and use that to camp in. A 7.5'X16' work great to set cots up in. Once you get to your spot roll the SXS out and boom your tent is set up.

    Recourse for undisclosed issues in home purchase?

    I had a similar experience. We bought our house in December and when spring arrived and the snow melted the basement started to collect water. We found it was coming through the foundation wall. The carpet had been recently replaced in the room the water collected. There was no way that was the...

    Elk Hunting Gear - what can’t you live without?

    The gear I have come to appreciate most is my Mystery Ranch beartooth pack and Kifaru universal gun bearer. Bein able to carry all my gear comfortably and have my rifle easily accessible and hands free while moving has been a game changer for me. Another honorable mention is my Kuiu down coat...

    Hold over scope

    If its legal in your state the SIG BDX line is worth a look. I really like that system. It is super simple, just range it and the hold over dot lights up in the scope.

    Inconsistent ballistics

    How did the group size compare to previous times? If the group size stayed consistent and you're getting consistent velocity each time you shoot a group and the atmospheric conditions aren't changing drastically the problem has to be in the optics, rifle or shooter.

    Inconsistent ballistics

    You need to get a chronograph an see what the extreme spread (ES) for your loads are. Even though you may be loading the same charge weights some powders burn more consistent than others and the even the load size can change the burn rate. Ideally you want the ES to be below 20. You'll want to...

    Chronograph First Buy

    Something to consider with the Magneto set up is it can affect your barrel harmonics. So your group size may change when you shoot without it. If all you're concerned about is finding velocity nodes it will work great. If you are looking to see how your group size relates to the velocity nodes...

    BYU or University of Utah for daughter?

    Something to look into on the WUE program is if the credits/years earned while using that scholarship can be applied towards gaining residency status and you were limited on receiving other scholarships. When I was going through school the time spent under the WUE did not count towards...

    I use Federal Copper 165gr in my 300WSM. I was able to recover my bullet from the elk I shot last year. The elk was quartering away withs its head down feeding at 370yds. The impact was about mid body and I recovered the bullet in the jaw. the expansion was perfect on it. You should also check...

    Slumberjack nightfall?

    I have the nightfall 3 and have used it several times on backpacking trips. The fly only option works good to save weight and maximize the space a little more. Some things I don't like about it is when using just the fly is there is about a 2" gap from the bottom of the fly to the ground so rain...

    So you got up to $1,000 for a new .270 Winchester...

    I've shot a 270 from my teens to now, 20+ years, and have taken coyotes, antelope, mule deer and elk with it. I think the 270 is a great all purpose caliber. I personally love the browning xbolt. It has the smoothest working action I have handled.

    Do all Caliber

    Some thoughts to consider on the philosophy of picking a caliber that you can pick up ammo at any hardware store in the country. If your planning to shoot 600 yards you need to stick to the same round you've sighted in with. I stock up on the round I have sighted in with and won't shoot anything...
