The yellow perch at Santa Fe are usually pretty good. I use meal worms under a bobber on the south end of the lake.

Wolverine?

Checked Stockys and Bugholes but they only had 10 twist. Evolved Ballistics has the 8 twist in stock, they seem to mostly stock fast twist stuff. Just never heard of them.

Rl-23 is a new powder. I haven't had much chance to mess with it yet. Also the temp stability of Rl-22 hasn't been an issue to me.

It means you lose velocity the colder the temp and gain velocity the warmer the temp. They say around 1fps per degree of temp. Rl-23 is supposed to be the temp stable Rl-22

That's the idea. Have a NRA banquet rifle in 270 wsm that has pissed me off for years. No matter what I try it won't shoot better than 1 1/2 moa. Gave up on it several years ago, but it bothers me every time I open the safe. I've been rained out at work alot and had nothing better to do than sit in the motel and order gun parts. Now I have a Bell & Carlson and a Swaro Z5 on the way so I'm committed. Hope to keep it at around 9 lbs launching the 170 Berger at 3050 fps with a BC of .662.

I spend probably 95% of my time behind my 15x HD Swaro's. Every now and then in a tight canyon I might put my 10's on the tripod. As far as a spotter, the times I actually need one are few and far between. Even at a couple miles you can tell a big buck from a dink in the 15's. Unless your picky enough that you need to know the difference between a 105" and a 110", I'd say save the money on the spotter and get top of the line 15's first.

They certainly do make a 4-24 in the older VX6 and the new 6HD. I've seen the older model 4-24x going for $13-1400 bucks. I have the vx6 2-12 fire dot duplex on my .338wm and so far so good! I can't really consider the older VX6 because you only get 13 MOA out of the CDS dial which doesn't get past 750 yards for me. The new ones give two revolutions which is nice but they are still behind the times. 13 moa? The old vx-6 is 18 or 20 moa per revolution. My two don't have a zero stop and I believe I run out at 43 moa. My 270 WSM's is dialed in to 1200 yds with an old vx-6. I do have a new vx-3i that runs out at 13.5 moa.

I've never had problems finding speed or accuracy from Rl-22. Getting 3475 to 3525 fps & 1/2 moa from 3 270 WSM's and a 130 Swift Scirocco. Also sub 1/4 moa from a 22-250 AI and the 80gr Vld @ 3450 fps.

I had an American in 22 mag, 100 yd groups of 1.5" with a few different types of ammo.

Thanks been going back and forth between the two for months. Just ordered the K624 CCW MOAK.

For just best glass would you give the edge to the X5 Swaro, or the K624 Kahles?

What did you think of the Swaro X5?

I'm in extreme north west Missouri right now for work. Seen way more turkey than deer.

If you where hand loading I'd say leave it a 7x57. Not going to find a cartridge much better for a kids elk gun. But being you want to run factory ammo I'd go 7-08.

Just came off a job in Texas that had black buck on the site. Absolute torture having to work with those things taunting me.

Long or short action?

Ya no kidding!

We have a fleet of Chevy 3500s and also about the same amount of ram 3500s. The Chevy's we have 2 13's, 2 14's, 2 15's, and 2 16's. The 16's average a trip to the dealer every 2000 miles for fuel issues. Seriously both trucks have 12000 miles and between the two have been to the dealer 13 times for the same issues. The 14s and 15s have had several def issues and spend lots of time in limp mode. One of the 13s had a venting issue and actually sucked the fuel tank flat! Besides all this with the money we've had to put into injectors between the 8 trucks we could have paid off two new ones. We also have 8 2016 3500 Cummings they are all up to 25000 miles and have had no problems at all. Every one of them gets about 16 in town and 18 to 21 hwy depending on how heavy your foot is. I've been a Chevy guy my hole life but sitting on the side of the road in North Dakota in below zero temps got old pretty quickly. I bought a ram and won't be going back any time soon.

I had a 2016 3500 it averaged 14 mpg unless you count the miles it spent being towed.

Sounds pretty interesting!

I've had the 12x20 Alaknak for six years. It definitely has its ups and downs. Durability is not on par with a canvas tent. After 6 years there are several spots I can see thru the fabric in the roof. Although it's probably been used more in that time than most people will ever use their tent, average about 2 months per year. It will not handle the snow load that a wall tent will, had mine come crashing down under about 3". As far as holding heat a wall tent is way easier to keep warm, also condensation is horrible in the Alaknak. Now for the good. Way less weight, I can put the whole tent in one box and still load it easily. I can set it up by myself in about 40 mins. It stands up to most weather conditions well, and it's made it through 70mph wind. Over all I'm fairly happy with the Alaknak and it's made some long trips pretty comfortable, but my next tent will be a regular canvas wall tent 12x14 with 12x 10 cook shack, internal frame, and a floor in the tent only.
