    E2 Elk - Location, Maps, etc

    I was drawn for an E2 cow tag. Yes, cow. I know, once in a lifetime, etc, etc. Anyway, I admittedly have not done much homework since I was consumed with planning for a CO archery hunt. I have summarized those exploits here...

    Canted Scope Reticle?

    I really like the idea of aligning the vertical reticle line with a plumb bob. That had not occurred to me. In the past, I've put a 4 ft level on a bucket out in the yard, shimmed it to be perfectly level, and then aligned my horizontal reticle on it. I agree with others here that trusting...

    Much better

    All your previous 'wisdom' had been made suspect by the three words above. ;) In the past, the idea that "Macs are more secure" or "Macs don't get viruses" was only sort of true because they had like 1% market share and hackers will generally focus their efforts on the largest market share to...

    Eye Dominance

    From SDMF earlier in the thread: "Easy eye dominance test: Have her stand ~10' away and ask her to point @ your nose with each pointer finger (one at a time). Her pointer finger on either hand will line up with her dominant eye." To test yourself you can do a similar thing. Focus on some...

    Eye Dominance

    You left-eye dominant, right-handed shooting suns-a-bitches. You are the reason it's so hard to get left handed guns and bows. ;:;banghead I would bet if everyone shot with their dominant eye, there'd be a lot more choices for left-handed guns on the market, and I wouldn't be so frustrated...

    Elk hunting - the hard way

    Yep, we hunted some spots that could only be described as 'blow down ridiculousness'. That's pretty awful uphill with 50# pack on your back. It'll 'make a man out of you' ...or something.

    Elk hunting - the hard way

    Yeah, this is actually our second trip (but first in this particular area of CO). Last time I was the one that got to drop the hammer: Very similar sized bulls. We'll have to score them to know whos better at life ;)

    Elk hunting - the hard way

    I will add that after 12 days in the wild, the first shower is a truly amazing thing.

    Elk hunting - the hard way

    Note: This is the short version. The long version includes weather that was too hot, moving camp locations several times and a lot of sweating. My brother and I decided to do what I would consider one of the hardest hunts there is: DIY wilderness elk hunt in an area we’ve never been before...

    New AR scope

    So you're a grammar Nazi now? Common Svn, we like you better as the guy that throws sometimes non-sequitur, sometimes profound, junk in the middle of a thread for your own amusement.

    243 shot selection

    Sorry Svn. I did try. This is the best I can do, which is not bad, but not great either: Meanwhile, I managed this 4 shot group with a home-grown load featuring a 150 Barnes TTSX: I think that one is going to work out. - - - Updated - - - Admittedly, I've never shot Fusions in my 243...

    243 shot selection

    For factory ammo, I like Hornady Superformance 95gn SST. The Federal 100gr soft points (blue box) have also shot surprisingly well for cheap stuff, and kill deer nicely. - - - Updated - - - From the title, I thought this was going to be more crap about how the 243 is 'undersized' for deer and...

    Barrel threading in the FM area?

    Update: I took it to Severance Shooting Solutions in Wyndmere. He's a pretty straight-shooter (pun?), did a great job, and the turnaround was 13 days. He cut the barrel down to 24in (my request), and threaded it 1/2 x28. Put a 5/8 x24 adapter on it to get it to 30 cal threads. Here's the...

    Savage or Tikka?

    Sorry SVN, the Fusions didn't work out that great: That's probably ok for your average Joe, but that aint me. The good news is that the rifle seems to be a fan of the 150 TTSX: That's a four shot group. Now I just need to load some more and see if I can replicate it. Only problem is it...

    243 winchester with 85 TSX for elk?

    243 = Yes 85 TSX = Maybe. I think solid copper is the right direction, but something in the 100gr range would be better.
