Honey hole!!! No other cams right??

Well done!!

That sucks!!!! I wont even load my truck with hunting gear the night before I leave . I just leave it in my garage until the time I leave

My grandpa has killed many many elk in his life with a .270!!! More knock down than most 6.5 for the standard shots. Also I was shooting .270s and 30-06 when I was 11, so your 13 year will be just fine. Lots of rounds and rifles to pick from. Probably the most economical rifle you can get. That being said if I could do it all over again the .280 would be the choice. Lot better ballistics then the .270 and more reloading options. But to buy a gun and not worry about large recoil, plenty of ammo, enough knock down power, no need for reloading, is the .270

There will be plenty of deer close to the roads. But probably a better quality hunt farther in away from people who are thinking the same thing you are

Those are bigens

You were a 32 waist and you lost weight???????? Your going to blow away in the wind my friend!!

Its been done!!!

You going to have fun!!! Once you start shooting long range your 200 yard shot will feel like a hip shot and 400-500 yards will feel like a 300 yard shot

I really liked that buck

How large is the plate?? If you don't know just measure it with your MOA marks if you have 1FP scope and do the calculation.

Pants work good for me. Its their jackets that got me upset. Ordered an XL, and its large and feels great. Until I bring my arms forward and down. It bunches up my shirts into my arm pit and has a pinching feeling. Im going to be looking into the first lite jackets

Awesome job!! Take him out there when the wind starts blowing around. He will appreciate and respect the gun even more when he sees the wind kicking his bullet around. On a elk I don't think he will miss his mark but he can understand with a 10 mph wind at 450 yards his bullet will move 13 inches. Best of luck and go hunt and report back to us, we love youth hunts!!!

Congrats

I had to send back the Guide DCS Jacket. Fit perfect all around but when you pull your arms forward it starts pinching clothing into my armpit. Got very annoying and this was an Extra Large. Anyone else have that problem. The attack pants are sweet in brown and the Ultra Tib Zip T. I was looking in to the sitka jackets (no arm pit pinching) but hate the Idea spending 120 dollars more for a jacket then a Kuiu. Since I got the attack pants in brown it will match with anything. What do you guys think of First Lite?

Just go Adam and report

Went out this morning. Yesterday I thought Ill put a some 2 hole straps on the side of my truck and use the beach umbrella and a work fan. Fan was nice, but it ever so slightly vibrated the truck. I did it on the ground and worked great but I was out by myself and some of my 800 yard shots I couldn't here hits on steel because of the fan. So if you have a spotter it would work great! This was a good group at 522 yards. My cold bore was a total of 7 inch. I've found out that when I shoot over 20 rounds my cold bore starts drifting left always about 2-3 inches and when warmed up it shoots lights out. But when I give it a good cleaning, my cold bore is back on track. But seriously every time I go out and shoot this gun I have to clean it or my cold bores will shot wild!

No rifle is 6.5-270 AI. I would be shocked if a 6.5-284 is pushing a 147 grain more than 2950. I can shoot the 143 ELDx at 3180 and be around 1"-1.25". But I settle for 3100 for tighter groups. But the 147 are more consistent. I could of kept going with my load but for the sake of time I need this rifle ready for a goat hunt. just curious why did you go 6.5-270AI over a 6.5-06AI? being that atleast in standard not akley the 6.5-06 is more common Couple reason! One I like being different or having something that most people don't have. Another reason I like the .270 over a 30-06, and when you do the AI the .270 has longer necks, so a little bit better with seating. Also the Neck on a 30-06 to a 6.5 (308- .264 =0.044 difference and the .270= 0.013 so the .270 win has a lot less to be necked down and that keeps it from having any donuts and neck turning which saves me time. But from alot of help from CWT members guiding me through this, I had to shave down the shell holder to fit a .270 neck into the 6.5-06 AI. I don't know how to put links on here but if you search "CWT group effort rifle build" you can see my write up on it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyy!!!! You just took this to another level! Just when I thought I was cool now this. I need to plan doing something like this. I do have a weekend warrior so I can put the ramp down. Then I would have a nice bed to lay on and shoot. Just don't shoot your truck 5 guys

That is why I need to clean it, because fouled cold bores it will shoot strait left, not up or down, or right just strait left 2-4"s. If cleaned cold bore is dead on. Once fired and barrel is slightly warm it shoots true.

Hmmmmmm well that's 2 ELD m right there that are wanting clean cold bores

I think Im answering this right but I don't do a fouling shot. I make sure my cold bore is cleaned! Once the barrel gets fouled and its a cold bore shot I can be off up to 4 inches. I was going nuts with it. But once it warms up it shoots lights out. Every time I shoot cold bore with a clean barrel bullet is true!!! This will get annoying after a while and R 23 with the 142 SMk worked good on some test rounds. I might try those in the future after this season to see if I don't have these crazy cold bore shots like with these 147 ELDms. But I got this 147 g ELD m, BC 0.697, 6.5 mm shooting at 3059 fps. That's going to do a number right there!!

Do unto others as you want them to do unto you!!!! Nice job Flatlander!!!!

I got my first choice!!!! 30B Its a hard unit to find a place to hunt but I got a spot that you have to hike into and had a nice 90 inch buck there a couple of years. Hopefully he is still there and bigger!!!!!
