https://eberlestock.com/collections/gun-carry/products/x31-lodrag-ii-pack I have 3 Eberlestock packs. None have a tag with model info. Blue Widow has stitched emblem, Team Elk has a side patch, X1 has nothing to show. Team Elk X1 Blue Widow

Going strong in the top of the White Tanks. Saw 8 different bucks today, all with does. Watched a big boy at 1000+ w. 10 does, dogging one hard, and chasing off a smaller buck. Had a dumb one at 40 yards, just hanging with the does.

Lazzeroni 7.82 Warbird is a beast of a cartridge. Somewhere in the .30-378Weatherby/.300RUM plus area. 180 @ 3500fps. Brass is proprietary, and expensive. So are dies. Loaded ammo is outrageous ($140/20 rounds) and very hard to get other than directly from Lazzeroni. Barrel life is very limited as with any huge capacity overbore magnum. I would think 800-1000 rounds MAX. I know Lazz made some of their 7.82 Patriots on Savage actions. They have their own actions for current rifles. Not sure if any early rifles were made on R700 actions.

I have never used it. So no first hand knowledge of it.

WMR 8 (Winchester Magnum Rifle-8#) Between RL19 & RL22 or H4831 & H1000. Use a magnum primer with ball powder. I bet you could sell it for more than you paid for it. Discontinued powders in sealed cans can be valuable to the right person. http://stevespages.com/308_7.html

To be honest, I would buy him something like a Savage Axis, Ruger American, Etc. in 6.5 Creedmoor (as much as I hate saying it). Recoil will be manageable, and ammo (or reloading) is fairly cheap. Then, have him shoot....a lot. Practice on shooting form, and stretch him out to 500+. A 6.5 is enough for elk. But keep the distances realistic. 6.5 is about as perfect as you can get for deer-size and down. When he is fully (or almost) grown, THEN buy (or build) him a nice rifle he can use for the rest of his life. You won't have to skimp of cartridge choices then.

If trades are welcome, I have a half box of tissues, some used chewing gum, and a rusty bottle cap I would consider letting go of.

I know who....😉

Price drop to $10000.

50/50...

I have a couple decoys and some calls you are more than welcome to borrow.

The SCR is a great reticle. .2 MIL subtensions are fantastic for accurate wind holds. But, for $1500, I would look at a used Steiner T5Xi upgrade over the Burris XTRII. 5-25×56 or even the 3-15×50. Unless you plan on shooting tiny targets at 1500, a 3-15 is plenty. I was shooting out to 1558 with some 3-15 & 3.5-18x scopes this weekend and was not underpowered. Especially for a hunting rifle. If you want to stick with FFP, do so. All I shoot is FFP. But that leaves out a lot of suggestions here. Look around on LRH & Snipershide for some amazing used optics in your price range. You can find a LOT of better scopes in your price range that way. I have purchased 6 or 7 used scopes with zero issues for about 55-75% of their new prices.

The 160 TMKs gave those deer a whoopin'!

210 HVLD @ 2960fps, 4500'AMSL (25.37 BARO) From 30° to 70° variation, without powder velocity change, you will only see 3.1" difference in drop at 800 yards. 7" difference at 1000 yards. So, by going with a middle temp, like 50°, you cut your error in half. Meaning 1.5" @ 800 yards, or 3.5" @ 1000 yards. 800 yards is still "minute of deer", hold center of body and squeeze. 1.5" low at first light, 1.5" high at midday. 30° 70°
