    Why I buy points

    Nevada, Utah, Az yes you have to buy a license, nm is refundable if you don't draw. You don't have to buy a license for Colorado or Wyoming. Those are the only states I know about and apply in.

    Why I buy points

    I hear ya Adam, I have been building points in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado just to have the opportunity to be able to go hunting somewhere every year. Colorado has some first season elk hunts that you can draw with zero or one points. Better then messing with the crowds on the otc hunts plus you can turn the tag back in and get your money back if you do draw a more desirable hunt elsewhere. Since I moved to Texas, I am pretty much stuck with out of state hunts, not much public land here. Glad I bought a lifetime license before I left though. Adam I got six points for lope in Wyoming, where are you putting in at? Haha

    Unit 23 New mexico

    It's a tough hunt, lots of tags and everything red sparky said I experienced in that unit. As soon as I thought I had gotten away from people along came a string of horses. Still better then sitting at home though. It can be pretty thick north of mule creek which makes tough glassing. I wasn't able to harvest but I had fun. The Burros are a different story. Good luck and stay away from the roads!

    Suppressor

    I have been really debating on that ultra 5 vs the 7. I plan on using it on a 28 nosler, I shoot a 10lb 7mag unbraked without a problem so I was thinking the ultra 5 would easy bring the recoil down below a 7 mag levels. I want to use at least a 26" barrel and I think a total of 31" would be easier to pack around then 33". I just did order the silencerco harvester for my 6.5 SAUM but with a 27.5 barrel and weighing in at 14 lbs, being light and mobile isnt high on my list. I am totally new to suppressors and open to any suggestions
  7. I did the same thing as Siwash but I never bedded my .270 and I shot 3/4" groups with mine. That as good as I ever really shoot off a bench anyway. I enjoyed working on that B&C stock to make it fit the barrel. I am currently having that .270 rebarreled with a proof barrel so I went ahead and bought a B&C ultralight varmint stock for it. It weighs 32 oz and yes the Manners and McMillan stocks are nicer and lighter, I have a game scout, but for twice the price I dunno. I will find out when I get my rifle back. As for the weight, 6 oz isnt that much and I should be concentrating on my weight loss not 6 oz in the rifle for an extra 300 bucks.

    Wyoming deadline.

    I didnt get drawn for elk in WY but AZ blessed me with an early archery elk tag, so I am gonna just build my points in WY this year. Maybe next year, need to burn these points for antelope in Wyoming.

    Ruger American in .270 FS

    Dang, all ways seem to be a little late on the deals. Let me know if this falls through
  10. I am getting one of my rifle’s rebarreled from the standard remington sporter barrel to a proof research senerdo light contour. I was wondering if I could just fit the new barrel to my existing B&C stock or would that make the forestock too thin? B&C makes a 2lb stock for a long action in a bull barrel so I can always go that route but then I got an extra stock laying around. Plus that’s a bdl and mine rifle is currently set up as an ADL.

    1 Day!!!

    AZ is hard to get drawn, we all know that. You can always got to CO every year. Yes there is a lot of hunters. Yes the elk are not trophy caliber but its elk hunting. Its like the ace up the sleeve, even if every state doesn't want to take your money for elk you can always go to CO. I would take a CO OTC hunt over a late archery simply because I am an awful archery hunter. Unless you're a pig. Then its game on.

    WTB .277 Bullets

    I know I got some 129 lrx and some 140 accubonds. I can check on the bergers when I get home but I think they are classic hunters. My 270 likes the lrx at .010 off the lands with 62 gr of H4831sc. Running about 3150 fps. I also put a bc Alaskan stock on mine.
