I have only shot 1 animal with my 270 wsm. I really think there is no more kick than my standard 270 win. No brake on it. I have a Browning 300 win mag. No brake on it either. The rifle out of the box only wieghs about 5 1/2 pounds I think. With the scope, bipods and sling just a bit more. Sighting this in can be a bear. Kicks like a mule. I have shot 5 animals with it and never remember the kick. Only when sighting it in. I think this is common for most people. They are excited when hunting and don't even think about the kick. Did get 1 scope circle first time I shot it. Bled for 30 minutes.

Stepfather hunting in Prescott 1 year found an old Remington 30-06 leaning against a tree. All rusted an barely looked like a rifle. Hunter probably leaned it there and forgot where he leaned it.

Great guess Sir royal. You have the eye for judging.

Thanks Rossislider. I didn't want to ruin a tack driver I have with this brake.

That is beautiful work. I do have a question. I have a medallion grade 300 win mag by Browning I am think of having this done. I have heard that it did on rare occasions affect the accuracy and FPS. Have you ever found this to be true?

no area is hidden, kiddos to you for trying to help him but if he hadn't ruined it, someone else would have. In AZ almost for sure there is someone else that knows your secret spot. It a givin. If they don't then it only a matter of time! I have a few left that I keep quite but even then I find trash, miles from a road. I agree that someone would have found it but in all the years I hunted I only saw 2 other hunters but they were 2-3 miles from going all the way to my area. Very rough country and you better be in shape.

Drew my first goat tag in 2012 after 23 yrs of waiting in 18b. Missed a huge buck there opening morning. Killed the next day a smaller one. There are some nice bucks there. Good luck on your hunt.

That's awesome. God bless you gramps.

I have hunted for 45 years in AZ. Many areas I have found were by getting out and finding them. Harvested 14 deer in an area that I found with 1 other friend. I have friends i trust and hunt with that have done the same thing and we exchange areas. In 2001 I took an old high school buddy I hadn't seen for years on a white tail hunt to my hidden area thinking this was our secret and he would enjoy the info. I killed but he didn't. Kept in touch for a few months then never heard from him again. The following year I see on the news where he, his brother and 2 other guys had to be rescued after being snowed in for 2 days and sure enough, there is my hidden area all over the news. He didn't ask if it was ok to take his brother or anyone else and who knows who else he told. Just decided this was his area now and I was out of the picture. I will gladly share info but only with the hunting friends I have now. Got burned once and that was enough.

Beautiful mount.

If you did Bob you might get in trouble..that bull was in unit 8...not 10

I own a Diamond and I love it. It's an older one 2004 but still shoots good and I have never had any problems with the cables or strings. If I bought a used bow i would have it checked out and replace strings and /or cables if needed. I paid $450 for mine new. They are made by Bowtech.

Thats a great bull. Do you know what he scored?

I will bring the beer...you cook the pizza...jk..great idea and sounds awesome

Thanks for the info.

Saw that at Cabelas too. Thought about getting but dont have a tag.

Who is your is you taxi man? Do you have any pics of his work he has done for you?

I don't care what anyone says..this is no way to check out....

Great pics. Shaggy looking dogs.

Not at this time..but with a bull tag in unit ten and all the fees I will pay for help on the Big Bo..i may later. TY for asking tho.

This was given to me by a neighbor. I cleaned it up and replaced the foregrip with same mod. type. Its a real tack driver. I shot it and remember my days at the carnivals when they used these at the shooting gallery. Just wondering if anyone has an idea of its value.

Sorry to hear about your sons medical problem. I know from experience as I have a son still fighting with Cystic Fibrosis as well as losing our oldest daughter to the same thing Dec 20 2014. I know well the bills can be unbearable. God bless you and your family and I we will keep you in our prayers.

Thanks for sharing that video Desertbull. I have hunted 21 for years and there are some great bulls in there. Didn't see what rifle or round Bob was using. Do you happen to know. Long shot and good energy.

Now thats a Whitetail I would hunt year round...just saying

Good luck on your elk hunt this year. Don't lose another one. Been there...done that...very disheartening. Nice bucks. Oh...and welcome to the site
