Since its a magnum bolt face the 264 win. wins. With the new bullets and powders we have today it should really show its true potential.

You will find the 17 hmr isnt any better than the 22 mag. the only rimfire that has enough is the the 17wsm. The 22 hornet or much better K hornet is an awesome fur gun as is the 17 hornet (my 1st/2nd choice) the 221 fireball, 17 remington or fireball, 222 remington or a 223. The 223 is very versatile if you are a hand loader.

They dont just kill deer/elk they will get after rabbits, javelina, bobcat and coyote. I have talked to a biologist about what they will feed on and They dont care when they are hungry. I was glassing for deer during a scouting trip in unit 23 when I saw a huge cloud of dust fly up across the canyon about 450 / 500 yards then a pack of coyote began barking yipping and a very stocky/blocky headed lion comes into view holding a coyote in by the throat. He very slowly worked his way to the bottom of the draw under the cover of a large low hanging juniper and ate lunch. There were five coyotes barking and yipping at him the whole time he picked his way down the canyon but they never came closer than about 40/50 yards from him. The whole episode took exactly 45 minutes.

An 85 pound female mountain lion attacked, killed and was consuming my mother in laws co-worker while running on a popular trail in northern California about 20 years ago.

The 43X has a 10 round magazine but its grip is much longer than a sig 365 (10/12) or spring field hellcat (11 or 13 rds) due to it being a single stack. It is the grip length that makes a pistol hard to conceal. Some people dont shoot or like to shoot those tiny micro pistols and opt for a sub compact like a glock 26 or cz p 10 s etc. I fall into the latter category. I would go to shooters world and shoot and handle as many pistols as I could before buying one. I m sure some of the guys on here wouldn't mind letting you handle or shoot their pistols so you dont waste time and money. If you do like the micro pistols the new springfield would me a great little pistol.

Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, Stone Glacier, Exo, or Kifaru Pack

What pack/bag did you decide on? -
Anyone know a .243 Pelt Friendly Load?
452b264 replied to broadhead's topic in Predator Hunting and Trapping
If you are going to save pelts and dont want to do a lot of stitching I would look for a 22 K hornet or 17 hornet, 221 fireball or at the biggest a 223 which works well especially if you are a hand loader. I used to use a 100 gr Hornady interlok flat base loaded slow or Barnes. If you hit the shoulder/spine with a 243 most likely you will want to leave that pelt in the field. -
I wish it was for a 30 mm tube diameter.

Does the tipi have screens and does it come with the stove?

I sent you a couple of text messages to see if you still have the meoptas maybe your phone is disconnected?

That was actually my first rifle gifted to me by my grandfather but in a 270 win. It shot 130 gr. silver tips into little clusters, sadly it was stolen about year after he passed. Good luck with your sale.

That photo isnt complete without the 6.5 creedmoor.
-
Im tagging in. Wish I had that tag this year with all the snow they are going to get over the next few days.
-
If we get enough snow the elk should move to the north, so driving in from Winslow should be perfect.

Colorado is a good example for legalizing pot, in the first year violent crime went up 25 % and that is after the effective new gun control laws were passed. As for putting the cartel out of business, it will be cheaper on the black market then in the store.

What brand is the brass?

Rem 700 243 win barreled action Vortex Scope Mcmillan stock

How much for the barreled action? No stock, scope or rings. -
I have a SEEK OUTSIDE 4 man with a large stove. Seek outside shelters have a storm flap on the zippers so when the door is zipped shut the velcro seals the door, this keeps your zippers from freezing closed, water from leaking into the shelter unlike its competition and keeps the wind out, they also have two zippered doors. They have a sod skirt around the shelter so you can place rocks or soil on it to seal the shelter from the elements. Their tipis have loops in the shelter to run para cord through for a clothes line. As with all tipis if they state 4, 6 or 8 man with a stove, wood, packs rifles etc. you need to cut the occupancy in half. When backpacking I think my 4 man is AWESOME by myself. I do believe the shelter with the stove is about 7 pounds all in which is light considering it can handle severe storms with ease. The stove will burn for a couple of hours and have coals for a couple more, since they are small they need to be stoked more then a full size stove but will keep the shelter about 70/80 degrees when its 5 degrees out and snowing. It is easy to cook on since it is flat and square, I dont bring a fuel stove when using the stove in the tipi. It is very sturdy, dosent leak smoke unless you forget to clean the spark arrester. As far as cylinder vs box stove I did a lot reading before buying my stove and the cylinder stove will warp leaving you with a small problem and you cant cook on them very easily. The stove and the shelter have proven very durable and I will never be without one again. As far as cons I havent found any, I am really thinking about buying an 8 or 12 man and getting rid of my wall tent. In the photo below I had the shelter up and a fire going in about 15 minutes.
