    Hunting & Fishing Caliber for elk hunt

    Yeah, I barely carry my tripod to PRS matches anymore, which is sad because I have alot of money sunk into it. All of my hunting rifles have Harris bipods, I'll shoot prone, off a log, my pack, sitting, trekking poles as sticks, or some other way. I look back when I started hunting elk while I...

    Hunting & Fishing Caliber for elk hunt

    I would never consider taking a tripod on a backcountry elk hunt. I would be angry at myself when packing meat back to camp.

    Hunting & Fishing Caliber for elk hunt

    Eh, no. I've stacked elk like cordwood for years with a 7 Rem Mag. I've also used 308, 260, 50 Beowulf, 243, and 44 Mag. Wanna know which rounds I've witnessed wounding the most elk? 30 Magnums. They are popular with flat landers that read the latest Outdoor Life list of must haves for Western...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PM2 5-25X H59 vs NF ATACR 7-35x H59

    Nope. One could argue that ATACR 7-35 is better glass than 5-25 as well.

    Bipod comparison

    I prefer Harris for field/hunting rifles because they're quick and get the job done. I prefer Atlas for my match rifles. I had a Magpul and gave it to a newer shooter. I didn't like it at all. It felt chintzy.

    Primer tool- need new one

    Same, although they sent me the captive rod update kit a few years ago for free.

    PRS Talk Lost about divisions /classes and where to start?

    There absolutely will be gamer shit, as with any sport. There is a reason Nascar and Formula One has so many restrictions, and rewrite them yearly is because someone is trying to game the system. The gun community is full of gear queer, as a matter of fact, I would say there is a little of...

    PRS Talk Lost about divisions /classes and where to start?

    Yeah pretty much. Technically you are shooting a different division when shooting Production Class because it has its own plaque/trophy/whatever. You can literally show up with with a MPA and an ATACR for your first match, and you'll be shooting open class with everyone else that has been...

    PRS Talk Lost about divisions /classes and where to start?

    If you decide to shoot production class, you are shooting the same match as us open guys, and against pro level Shooters that decided to leave their $8k rigs at home that match, or "practice" with a 308. It really isn't the entry level class it was meant to be. Just buy the best you can...

    Hunting & Fishing Prairie dog hunting: South Dakota.

    I've never had to search for Prarie dogs due to ranchers wanting them killed near me, but I think OnX has prairie dog town overlays on the app.

    Annual HOA Board Meeting

    I prefer to choose which people in my neighborhood I have to associate with, and I don't want them making rules for my household.

    1000 Yard + and ELR in 2021 Thoughts

    Yep. We have been shooting matches all year around here. I have another next week, putting elk on hold to attend.

    Hunting & Fishing Kuiu vs Sitka

    I went to replace my GoreTex rain gear recently and was ready to pull the trigger on Sitka. I tried it on, decided to bite the $800 bullet, and looked at the tag. Made in China. Nope. I'll still be wearing issued GoreTex. First Lite does have baller first layer stuff.

    Time for a third party...

    Not really. Jorgensen is why Biden has barely squeaked past Trump in several states. Both sides have repeatedly shown that third party votes can end their candidate's successful election.

    What Chassis would you choose?

    I don't like the ergonomics of AI chassis, and the only benefit I see to owning an AI, is the entire factory rifle. I wouldn't just buy the AI chassis to throw a 700 action in because of the many chassis I prefer on the market.

    What Chassis would you choose?

    I have never liked the ergonomics of AI chassis. Yeah, they work, but I wouldn't be throwing a Remington action in one just because they look cool. I prefer MPA for chassis.

    Favorite powders for a 6.5 Creedmoor in an AR10 platform

    I really like H4350 with 140 ELD-Ms. I'm betting your rifle is going to like around 41.5ish grains in Hornady brass. I use a JP High Pressure bolt, firing pin, and an adjustable gas block in my 22" Criterion barrel 6.5 to get rid of pierced primers, bolt swipe, and other pressure signs that...

    Brass Deflector....Effective or No

    Yep, go shoot it first before you start hanging doo-dads near the ejection port. It won't hit you, I promise. I like to stick a fuzzy sided piece of velcro on all of kine to save the brass from dings for reloading.
