There's a good chance of rain for the next several days. That's the time to be out there "walking quiet". Also can help to cut fresh tracks/activity.

Congrats! Great ram!

Awesome photos! The lighting is amazing!

Trap doors...I'd swear to it.

That's some really cool history. That was when Hollywood actors were men, educated, and war heros.

No snow, just small patches on the rim. We went today, down the Young road. Found a nice Doug Fir. They are sparce but they are there.

Great hunt! And great time with family and buds, especially from the mid-west. My brother comes out from Indiana when I get an elk tag. We have a blast together. Used to love playing yuker...not sure I can remember how anymore. You have a knack for story telling/writing. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations to your daughter!! That is a beautiful ram! That has to be the ultimate hunt/experience.

Great buck!! Way to stick with it.

Nice buck! Way to go.

I was about to do a similar post when I read this. Mine suddenly opened up to a 2" group at 100 yrds. Rem 700 .270, sporter barrel. 600 rounds.

I can't get past the twisted fluting on the barrel.

I am contemplating the same in 6.5 PRC. Ridgeline or X-bolt LR ($800 less) or X-bolt Pro. The X-bolts get good reviews.

Do you suppose these would fit/not rub a stock 2014 Ram 2500 diesel with a 2" level kit on the front?

Welcome. Nice 1st post and story. I have the feeling you'll be sharing more success stories in the near future.

I am thinking of putting a muzzle brake on my Rem 700 .270 cal. The barrel is not threaded, so I was thinking of a clamp on type. This one caught my interest. Thoughts? Reason is, I am working on extending my effective range and I would like to see impact on target. Currently the muzzle rise takes me off target. https://www.wittmachine.net/custom-clamp-on-muzzle-brake.html

What is the average cost? $150 - $200? Is there a recommended manufacturer/model?

Around 700 rounds through it. I believe it is the standard sporter-type barrel, Rem 700 XCR, .270 cal. I plan to keep it. After putting a Bell & Carlson stock on it and bedding the recoil lug, it shoots 3/4 moa. However, I sometimes get the itch for something lighter and more "custom" ;-)

Great buck!!

Are they the electric folding or manual folding? Where are you located?

"Don't let the cat out of the bag" 😀 .....uh...don't let anyone know the location.

Good article!

There's a lake?!

Nice buck! I have to do Mexico sometime

^^^ love my .270
