Budget? How often will your wife shoot it? If its just the wife's and she shoots it 20 rounds a year before the hunt and not reaching out past 350 yards a standard 250-500 dollar range scope will work. If she shoots 4-5 times a year roughly 60-150 rounds a year maybe look into a Sightron, vortex pst or something in that 800-1000 dollar range.

So what can we do right now?

Early rifle bull in unit !?????????!!! Country thunder can wait, might take you another 10 years to get that tag again

Maybe Ill try some 200 ELDx.

Wow congrats

Ha ha ha! It took me a second for me to catch on

Everybody says don't do it. I was at the range on some other loads but went ahead and did my ladder test at 200 yards. Everything shot within a 3" group. It was really hard to interpret what the bullets where doing. Stick with a longer range

Because the guys who love them are turning animals inside out under 600 yards shooting big magnums. the longer range shots on smaller game they blow right threw with not enough energy to do massive damage. but elk are thick enough skinned heavier boned the vids open. I'm am sold on using the eldx we have killed elk deer bears all with a 6.5 eldx all in the 700 yards plus the opens the way its suppose to every time. Got to find that happy medium between energy and bullet expansion! very strange you can't get eldx to group what is your load? Ive been all over with the 300 using the H1000. I got it to 3/4" to 1-1/4" groupings which are not bad but its sensitive. Stray a .5 grain it will not group. Same thing with my 6.5 ELDx they are all over. H1000 79 grains 0.836 MOA 3,040 fps After a while barrel was getting thick and caused more pressure up to 3,100 fps. Now am backing off to 77-78 grains and trying to find a load but cant get less then .75 MOA. For the hunting world .75 is great and Im not complaining, but it takes more work to find that sweet spot for these ELDs. Bergers take me half the amount of shooting to find a great load. But Im holding out for these ELDs because for some reason trust them working very well on ELk.

^^^^ This I had this same discussion and I messaged Lance about this concern. I went with the Euros and Im very happy with them 15s! As Lance states above you save a thousand dollars for something that is maybe 3% behind Swaros. Its a no brainer to me

Smokem!!!

^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^

There is a lot of reports of Bergers not working right as, not expanding at long range, blowing up smaller animals, but also lots of great reports with no issues. I think we hear more of these bullets not working right because I believe most people love to reload with them because they shoot so accurate. Just lot more Bergers out there being shot. With the ELD-x and ELD-m I haven't heard of any news yet. The ELD-M is supposed to be a new tip on the AMAX and everyone had great reports with the AMAX on game kills. But Im having a hard time to get these ELD's to group .5MOA while its lot easier to get that with Bergers. Im sure if people were shooting these ELDs as much as Bergers we would hear some bad reports. With the Hybrids they are not game bullets so there are really not a lot of reports on them. But the people who do use them on game have had great results from what I read, and I wouldn't have a problem using them on game at all. I would shoot some of each and see what your gun likes.

Well done!!

Great job!!! How is it every other post you send out there is another dead javelina???

Well done! I was suppose to head out today, but thanks to the weather it was a no go

Thats quit a bit your asking there

Came to this down hill and looked at it and said it might be hariy!! Crawling into it i knew it will be bad and I past the point of no return. I went against my own wisdom about riding quad and UTVs ---"if you doubt, don't"! Well to say the least by a miracle we were okay! Just some bumps and scratches. No seat belts on, we were lucky!! Stupid stupid stupid! I have never rolled a quad or any vehicle, so once we started to go I was clearly thinking to myself am i really rolling this! Next thought was I didn't want to get my limbs caught. Got out said a prayer of gratitude that me and my brother didn't get hurt, said another prayer to help us find a way to flip this rhino over on the side of the hill and get home safely. Then one more prayer for forgiveness for choosing stupid choices Got it rolled over by sliding it to the side of the hill so we can use the hill to help us pick it up and then ran up to the side of it before it took off and used my hand to hit the break!!! No damage, the rhino started right up, went back to hunting. No pigs at all today, but glassed up a herd of mule deer and a fat 4X4 DARK horn buck! But I did bread my arrows. Lucky for me I still had my pistol

Really!!!!!!! 78,000 for an air lift???? Talking about taking avantage of insurance companies! Go to Sedona for a ride, up,to 500 dollars a person and going down to Havasupi is a few humdred dollars one way! I could understand emergency airlift 10k and personnel 8k and medical equipment 2k a total 20k. But 78k is high way robbery. But nonetheless glad you had insurance and modern technology to make it back and be ok

Go onto threads about towing trailers, camping trailers ext ext and you can find lots of thread about this. I've looked into it myself and Im going to get Toyos. About 90% good reviews Toyos and about 90% bad reviews for the Firestones.

Not 20a or 21. It was Ham in 37B

It was cool that I got to hold it and check out your scope! Very light and a sweet looking rig

Hey awesome job shooting that U of A fan. They are a little weird down there ---oh....... wait...... Im sorry that is a javelina!!

Great job

Ive seen lots videos were you seen them on large hill sides. Is it a waste to glass bigger hills? Should you just hang around in the lower hills and washes?
