    .270wsm question

    Make sure you us your chrono in the middle of the day when the sun is in the highest position. I used mine in the evening and found the velocities fall off as the sun goes down. Another thing is to set it out at 50 feet and see what the velocities are. This should take all the muzzle blast out of the equation. If you still feel you would like more velocity, try another powder an to a lesser extent the adjust the seating depth.

    How would these measure up?

    How do you think these bucks will measure out? Also, how old do you think they are and would you hold off for another year?

    Velvet loss

    Does anyone have pictures of a mature buck right before and after they lose their velvet? I'm trying to see if a buck I'm watching has much more to grow. Thanks,

    does anybody know this person?

    My guess is that if he hit the bull up in the hump area and it didn't hit the spine, the bull probably lived. Would it be possible to be more specific on where the bull was hit?

    Whats going on in 10 this yr.

    Did you ever check with game and fish to see if they picked up the antlers? When I see a sign posted on a tank saying a hunter is present, I don't believe it until I see the actual hunter. If you are in the blind and have a hunter coming into the tank let him know your there, stand up, whistle or something. If your using a ground blind don't leave your crap in expecting it to hold your place. First one to the tank gets it. If you leave for anything, it's up for grabs. I spent three hours building a ground blind onetime and came back the next afternoon to find another hunter in it. I waved and went on my way.

    kimber scope mounts.....

    First thing is to make sure that you tighten the action screws correctly. This made a huge difference with my rifle. Then check the crown and the bedding. The Montanas are bedded with a slave action, so the bedding is poor at best. If you want to switch out the rings and bases, which I don't blame you, look at the Warne set. Also note that since this rifle is so light, it's vey sensitive to how you hold it from shot to shot. A trigger job will help with this as well.

    trying to figure this out

    Lapping your rings more or less means that you use a sanding compound (lapping compound) along with a steel bar, the size of your scope tube to sand down any high spots or any spots that are not inline with the scope. Here is a youtube link that shows the lapping of the rings. What kind of rings and bases are you using?
  17. azgutpile

    trying to figure this out

    I would check you rings and bases and make sure they are tight and straight and possibly lap your rings to make sure that you don't have any uneven presure on the scope. 2nd I would check to see if you have any pressure points on the barrel from the stock. have the stock bedded and use the correct torq and procedure when tightening the screws. If that doesn't work, I would look at your scope.

    Still waiting for elk mount

    I prefer not to pay more than the minimum deposit until delivery. Note that this is for everything, not just taxidermy.

    How many bonus points do you have

    Yes, but they do it diffrently... They allocate 20% of all the tags, from all the sheep units combined and assign them to applicants with max bonus points. That being said, you could be putting in for a hunt that won't have any tags available by the time it reaches the first and second choice round.

    Archery range finger

    It would probably be a nice feature to have as a backup on your bow incase you don't have time to use a laser. You can make your own temporarly... Just place a piece of tape on a flat spot close to your site and while looking through your peep mark where 16" falls at 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards. If you like it then purchase their version with the fiber optics.

    Danner Elk Hunters

    Are you talking about the Danner/ Cabelas Elk hunters? If so, when I purchased mine, I just wore them around for a couple of days and they broke in fairly fast compared to other pairs of Danners. You might try using some duct tape on your heals until they are broke in. That being said, don’t expect them to last very long… The seams on mine started splitting and half of the Air Bob's fell/ broke off within the first year. From there, I just left them in my closet for another year when my buddy told me that they would repair or replace them for free under the warranty. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same response from Danner or Cabela's that Casey did; Danner offered to repair them for $80.00 plus shipping and Cabela's would only give me a $50.00 credit toward a new pair. I ended up having a local guy restitch and resole them with a traditional vibram sole and they have worked fine for the last couple years. My suggestion would be to keep your receipt.

    Unit 1 Fire?

    Agreed. If they don't stop it's North bound run at the 25 road, Katie bar the door... 30 mph winds and 6% humidity ain't exactly ideal conditions to stop it anywhere. The map I saw this afternoon shows that the fire already crossed the 25 road. It also shows that it burned right past the Reno lookout tower.
