Viper

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

I can only speak for the Icon Pro (3200). I have several miles and some heavy packouts in nasty brush country with no issues. I went with the heavier material of the Icon Pro for the durability.

These have been popping up on camofire lately.....around $80 I think.

Wow! You've had great success with that bow.

Would you sell just the rain cover?

I still have VHS tapes featuring him and Larry D. Jones. They were an inspiration to me in my younger days, elk and deer hunting with a bow. I remember trying to stalk deer in my socks, like Dwight. I had mixed results in the AZ desert 😲 Rest in peace Dwight
