Nice buck. 400 yards is still a long shot. Shooting a 1000 yards with a custom rifle and a space telescope attached to it, isn't impressive anymore when the equipment takes all the skill and work out of it. . Doing it the way you did is more impressive. Good Job!

I've been interested in these too. Good, interesting info. Name a gas truck that does get good mileage hauling, none that I'm aware of. And they usually struggle bad too going up any hills. It sounds like the perfect compromise between gas and diesel. Especially if you haul infrequently, which most hunters do.

Don't under stand the whole shooting it just to leave it. If your gonna shoot it illegally, at least do it cause your after the meat. Not saying it's right but at least take it.

Shoot him in his bed!!! Do it now!!!

Anyone know of a good smith that can change barrels and rechamber a Win Mod 70 from 270 wsm to 300 wsm? This gun shoots ok but not great. Seems I have heard similar issues as well with this caliber. Go up or down in bullet grains doesn't seem to help. Thought my best bet would maybe be changing calibers. I literally can shoot 3 rounds at best and it starts throwing rounds. It heats up super quick and I understand that a hot barrel can be less accurate but this is ridiculous. Its 3/4 in accurate first 2 shots, after that no less then 2 inchs(100 yards). Sometimes worse. I've had other factory rifles(various) get real hot and still shoot way better then this gun. Just alil frustrated. maybe my expectations are to high. Thoughts??

Yeah I've realized now its not a volume shooting caliber. Bummer

Maybe I missed it, but since u are parting out the package, how much for just the rifle??

I've kinda considered one of the savage long range hunters or something like it. Longer tapered barrel, but not heavy barrel, good trigger, good accuracy(so i've heard and read), muzzle break for reduced recoil(nice for longer shooting sessions at the range). I don't want a heavy barrel, had one before, never again for hunting. I like my current setup on this rifle minus the problems or the things i've encountered I just don't like. Like I said, I think my expectations are different from what I got. Its a good gun, I've just found myself wanting different things from it.

Looking back, I wish I had choose a different caliber for the purpose of shooting more often.I was looking at a lil bit faster, flatter shooting rifile for dual deer(mostly muley) and elk gun. I agree, I don't think its a caliber you shoot a lot with. I like the ballistics and its versatility for game animals but I think I would of been better off with a more common round like a 300 win mag or something. As far as Tikkas go, I had one in .223 and it was laser beam accurate too. Based on past trials and theorys, a short fat case generally produces good ballistics and accuracy. These to me though feel short for what they could/should be. I'll do some more research and see what route I want to take if any.

Israelis should be a model for security in terms of dealing with the thugs of the world. Even though this incident wasn't a mass school shooting, and a armed teacher wouldn't of mattered. Cant stop all crazies from doing crazy unfortunetly

Now days barrel break in is a complete waste of time and money in my opinion. I've done it and look back thinking what a waste of ammo. And that was with a long range 308 I was shooting paper with. I think its a gimmick personally but if you think it works, do it. I mean it all seems like no one has definitive proof it does or doesn't work anyway.

My dad had the September rifle hunt last year in 27 and they rutted on and off but definetly not hard. It was more like a late November tag without the cold and an occasional bugle. But in Unit 1, they were going nuts. Really strange. It also rained non stop for 5 day of the hunt to so that didn't help either.

The way u describe getting prepared you will be 100 times more prepared then most SUCCESFUL coues hunters are. So u are doing good. Like was mentioned, just be patient. They are a tough little deer to see but once you learn what to look for they will start coming out of the woodwork. I don't have patience, so I'm not good with glassing along time which is key to Coues. Even mule deer need patience if u want to kill nice ones in this part of the country. I'm slowing appreciating glassing more and less walking myself to death for lil deer. Lions are everywhere, literally, just don't plan on seeing one, they don't like being seen, not on purpose anyways. Lots and lots of open country. I was stationed in Virginia for 4 years and cant ever see hunting anyway but the wide open like it is here. Not as much opportunity(one deer a year) but its truly hunting, not bait and wait or waiting over plots you know the deer will come to for sure. You're skill will be tested for sure but its more rewarding in my opinion.

That's hilarious!!!

Part of the problem is people humanize animals. They cant disconnect themselves from things that walk on all fours, eat off the floor and sleep in the dirt. Every living thing deserves respect and a humane living but they are not human! And if they are destructive and to expensive to remove alive, and shooting them is what needs to be done, so be it. I look at a horse they same way I do a pig, a cow, a dog, etc. It may not be on my dinner plate but its roll is to serve people. They are feral not wild. And deserve to be treated that way. People need to get a grip.

You wont get better glass for the price. Not even close! Spotted my buck last year about a mile away with mine in the afternoon.

Buy em please......another hobby/addiction needs your funding!

Toll booths are as corrupt as it gets. Double charging you for something they already tax you for. Charging access to lakes and such is no different. Yeah I get the FS and such need to get paid for there job but that again is what taxes are for to begin with. To fund public servants. This amounts to just more revenue for agencies who already cant manage money so they ask for more in a different way.

Like Average Joe said, self guided is the only way to go....for all hunts! I know a guy that got drawn for a unit in that area and did his all self guided and nailed a nice one. And he's never been to the area. He told me that when he got drawn that previous tag holders came out of the wood work and told him all kinds of helpful info. Because its not like they can ever go hunt that hunt again so they weren't hoarding the info. I assume its a month long hunt or so depending on what u guys got? You'll have plenty of time to get ready if so. Id make this my only hunt priority as far as scouting and such. Id even miss a deer or elk hunt to make sure I got that one planned out and ready. Good luck!!

Go read a left or liberal leaning website or article on any topic and read just a few comments. People really believe things like the Benghazi incident are a hoax by the Gop to keep Hilary out. They also believe and praise Obama for saving the auto industry. Yet the auto industry bailouts started with Bush, and they were foaming at the mouth when he did it, but now Obama gets a pat on the back for "saving" the industry. They illegally took taxpayer money and saved private corporations and there CEOs but that's ok only cause a liberal clown did it as well. Theres many others I cant even begin to scratch the surface with. Its unbelievable! If you only read a few comments per page you will see how many people are just utter fools and have no clue what a socialist government will begin doing once it gets what it wants. They just believe everything should be given to them, that's all they care about. Just sad.
