    My Colorado Elk @ 311 Yards

    Bull not Buck. Still a beauty and one hell of a long shot for a pistol on an animal of that size.

    New to the forum and looking for a .300 WSM

    Thanks again Maxx2893. I will have a look at Swarovski, I think in the one youtube video of the Christensen Arms .300WSM they are running Swarovski optics on it.

    Not really sure on what optics to run....judging by the price of the christensen arms at $2700 I would have to run some pretty intense optics. I have heard good things about Zesis, something fairly powerfull out of there line up like the conquest 3-9x50mm might be about what I would want. Again...

    When was the last time you used a Bow?

    Haven't shot my bow in over two years:bawl:. Just no time lately, I might have to get it out next month and try get a doe with it. It has been needing to be replaced for a while and that is another reason for not really using it lately.

    New to the forum and looking for a .300 WSM

    Yes it is going to be a hunting rifle, it will see some mountain duty at least once in it's life (ELk and Big horn). I am looking for something light and powerful at long range and seems the .300wsm is the gun as it has the same ballistics as the .300 win mag., but lighter. I have looked at...

    How to Choose a Bow

    ^^^^^What he said. My only other suggestion is try as many different bows as you can before you buy. My local archery store has an indoor lane and I shot every bow they had in the store the one day and even shot a few customers bows that were in just to get an idea of what each one was like...

    Surprisingly accurate

    Savage M93 in .17HMR with Pineridge Tactical 3-9x Rimfire scope for .17 HMR. After bore sighting it all I had to do was adjust the turrets back to Zero and 100 yards and I have never changed it since. At 100 yards, 1/2 inch group everytime as long as I do my job.

    Colorado Hunting

    Canadian Whitetails just waiting for the rut to start, missed elk season here tho. No time for Moose this year either and looks like I will miss ducks and geese as will, but I won't miss hunting predators!! Once the snow flies, the coyotes will be dropping like flies:shooter:

    AR 15 or something else?

    .223 is way to small, .243 as a bare minimum. If your going to be hunting both elk and deer, look into a .308 as mention or a .30-06. Both will do well on elk and be more then enough killing power for deer. Some guys go way over kill and use .300 mags for deer, but that isn't necessary with a...

    looking for a good camping/survival knife

    I just bought a Buck Knives model 119, pictured in my sig. Nice knife, sharp as, will cut the hair off your arm out of the box. 6 in blade, 10 1/2 in over all, carries nice, haven't used it on an animal yet, but regular camp and bush duties it does real well I reckon. No military knife, but I...

    What would be a good deer hunting rifle?

    ^^^^I agree on the bullet construction, if the bullet fragments it just makes a mess. If you want a good bullet for meat hunting then go with something fairly solid, that won't break apart on impact and has enough weight and force behind it to pass cleanly through both sides of the game you plan...

    New to the forum and looking for a .300 WSM

    Looking into buying a .300 WSM, not sure what make or model to get. I know I don't really like the fact that the Savage only holds 2 rounds in the magazine. I am looking more for something that will holds 3 rounds, but I know that the need for more then the 2 rounds or .300 WSM isn't really...
