    sold

    I already have a deal in place for a summit. This a great buy though. You know what, I will take this one too if it is still available and give it to my hunting buddy. His birthday is before our hunt this year.
  2. Cabelas has a few boxes and pounds in stock. I picked up a box of the ELD-X and I have H1000 so I have another load to work on for my elk hunt. Harley
  3. I am in the market for a new day pack. My current camelback is to small especially during elk season with 3 layers on. I am 6'4" and 300+ depending on the day. I have a big build so I need a recommendation on something comfortable for me. I just looked at a nice 100oz camelback day pack but for $150 I figure there might be better options. Is there a good place to go look at packs locally? I am probably going to get a seperate pack frame for trying to carry quartered elk and such, but I want a little larger and better fitting g day pack. Thanks Harley

    Pack recommendations for a big guy?

    I tried on an outdoorsman pack yesterday and it was nice but I don't think it is quite what I am looking for. I stopped at cabelas today and tried on a few badlands including the clutch, 2200, and super day pack. I also tried on and ebelestock and it was too short for my torso. The 2200 and clutch were very nice and I think the recommendations in here are spot on. It fit my long torso and the belt sat at my natural waistline. Now I have to figure out what I want to do for sure and do it. Thanks for the advice.

    7mm 175gr ELD-X & H1000

    I am going to work a load with the 168gr HVLD, and a load with these in my 7mm Rem mag. We will see what they do. My cow elk went down from 115gr HVLD in my 257 weatherby so I hope both the above loads would be sufficient this year. If I don't get a good load before season or I don't feel totally good about the 7mm I have the weatherby waiting in the wings. Harley

    Tombstone Tactical

    I would still rather go to TT than Lone Wolf.

    Tombstone Tactical

    I actually like the $25 fee for a failed check. It would keep alot of the rif Raf from trying to buy guns. I used to work at the arizona sportsman way back and it would have saved alot of time and labor dollars for customers who can buy things. As far as TT goes I am neutral. I have been in a couple time with ok results. I was just kicking tires though.

    Hunting/skinning knife?

    That is a sexy knife. I am tempted but I am going to hold out, do some more research and pick out exactly what I think I want. I like that akouna though. That is a sweet profile.

    Pack recommendations for a big guy?

    I am probably going to get a seperate pack frame, and just increase the size of my day pack for now. What I was kind of looking at that would be a bid upgrade over what I have is something like this. https://www.rei.com/product/867296/camelbak-fourteener-24-hydration-pack-100-fl-oz

    Using Live Bait for Catfish

    My buddy caught a 72lb flathead from shore. I know they often use a kayak to put bait out from shore but I don't think he was then. He uses mostly carp or blue gill as bait.

    Hunting/skinning knife?

    The website says he is backlogged about 3 years to get a knife. I have about 5 months til I leave for my elk hunt. With a backlog like that I am sure they are pretty sweet though.

    Hunting/skinning knife?

    I'm 6'4" and 300lbs. I don't have monster hands but I have hands of someone my size. Xl-XXL gloves normally. I think I am going to get a havalon also, but want something more jack of all trades to put in my pack. I had a couple decent ones awhile back but some a-hole broke into my truck and took a bunch of stuff including my nicer medium knife. It was a buck zipper with gut hook that I saved money for for a long time when I was about 15 and getting ready for my first elk hunt. I have never owned anything better than Buck brand knives, and I want to change that.I am trying to obtain better gear all around and now it is time for a knife.

    The best Camper

    You need more pics of the trailer and more info like length, bed sizes, table? Etc.
  20. Fly n hi off road on mcdowell. Talk to Jeremy, tell him Harley Sent you.
  21. Unless the barrel is shot out don't mess with it IMO.
  22. I am glad I already own a 257 that will shoot really nice, because this is a good deal on a nice rifle.

    New Reloader Questions

    I am working with H1000 in my 7mm Rem Mag sofar, but I know RL22 and Retumbo work well too in a lot of cases. I just have an 8lb keg of H1000 on only 1lb of the other 2 so I am using what I have the most of. Get a load dialed in some more and practice, practice, practice.

    New Reloader Questions

    Those are very nice results for a factory rifle and a first load workup. Play with powder quantity and seating depth and see if you can dial it in.

    Ruger m77 7x57 Mauser

    Glass or pillar bedded? What is the upgraded trigger? Do you have a load worked for this? Tang safety or mark II?
