a .270 you are confident in. my first late bull hunt I was living in phoenix. I felt like I bought out cabelas and eddie bauer. either 1979 or 80; both stores were quite different back then . luckily my boots were awesome. and them some. the snow on my first two late hunts were equal to this past year.

where are you ?
-
I bet there a lot on here envious of your tag.
-
what did you shoot your first elk with? I have shot mine (8) with both 30-06 and 7mmag.

my experience with sporter weight barrels is - they are more finicky to load for to achieve the accuracy, easier and cheaper to buy a sendero or 700 long range ( less expensive and heavier) ; by the time , you factor in the time and money to get a good load for a sporter. even great if yo are shooting factory ammo. when you consider a Krieger barrel installed is 500-550; a factory sporter barrel 50-55 installed. kind of like the difference bertween a 2500$ engine for your impala and a 25,000$ engine. one decimal place. different performance.

Remington is a good place to start. adjust the trigger, or have it adjusted. depending on what vintage 700 you have. I have a jewell, a timney and 3 shilen triggers ; and several factory triggers. you need a good scope that has repeatable adjustments. the 168 berger is a good bullet to start with, . most long range shooters reload . that gives you control over the components and seating depth.

you have a great tag. 30-06, knife, and 10x42s.
-
when I occasionally shoot in F-class matches (500-1000), nothing better than shooting against factory barrels.
-
what is your 200 yard group size? most factory barrels are finicky . Among best factory rifles I have shot are Remington senderos. I hunt with my senderos, including bighorn sheep. my Remington 700s with Krieger barrels achieve it easily.

Dang. I hope you have a big house for all the antlers. I like the avatar. Maybe it is a lucky one.

More protein? I would not eat it on a bet.

I am feeling lucky.

The wolves are not over populated in Idaho. they sell 40,000 permits and harvest 200-220 wolves . if they were over populated the harvest would be higher. MUCH higher.
-
how is selling tags and harvesting elk in dwindling population helping? dumb
-
I like shooting against savage rifles, especially axis. with my sendero. bring money.

I doubt any wildlife professional will say the decline is due to wolves. and no matter, if they want more elk , restore and improve habitat. and eliminate tags until the desired population is reached. I bet it is easier to draw in Idaho than Arizona. the reason for the decline is due to the continued sale of tags .
-
what an utter and complete joke. not even blonde. why are they selling tags and harvesting elk? if they want to have 16,000 elk again they need to Wait until then to sell ANY tags.

that thing is amazing!

what web address do I use??

you got a pretty one.

I Had an 870. I do not recommend a pump.
