Every day day in the field is a successful day, regardless of other outcomes! Enjoying it for weather, the scenery, getting to watch a dog work, and carrying a treasured firearm are all great bonuses to the overall experience. = Priceless memories!

Accuracy breeds confidence...velocity without accuracy only means you can miss faster. A already stated, a little more elevation will still net a dead elk with that bullet placed accurately in the vitals at longer distances...and at 300 yards you will still be holding on the animal's vitals with...

Made it home from my father/daughter archery hunt in Colorado for antelope and elk with Fred Eichler's Full Draw Outfitters! Had a great trip, met some great people and had a wonderful time! Hunting with Fred and two of his sons, Seth and Trent, was a great adventure with lots of laughs Took 63...

At just 11 years on here, I am a relative Newbie still...but have enjoyed the membership, conversations and learnings along the way! It has been a real pleasure to be part of such a great bunch of knowledgeable individuals willing to share that wealth with others! We even have a few laughs along...

Many factors come into play as already mentioned... New rifle... New load to try... New ammo or bullet to try... New animal to hunt... An old favourite that is calling for attention... A hunt that just begs for a certain rifle...lever action in the dark timber...flat shooting cartridge for a...

Looking forward to being there for my daughter's archery elk hunt in Colorado at the beginning of September!

Very nice!

I had great performance with the 6.5 CM 130 gr Terminal Ascent on red stag at 296 yards...the 6.5x284 with the 143 ELD-X should work just fine! I like the 6.5x284...just never managed to take anything with it while I had it...missed a nice mule deer buck at well over 200 yards freehand as I...

What's the old sarcastic saying...the government and its infinite wisdom...definitely being illustrated once again!

Used to have a Browning B-78 rechambered to 270 Wby that shot the Sierra 90gr HPs into itty bitty groups at close to 4000 fps out of its 28" barrel..did nasty things to coyotes! And was like lightning on deer with 100 gr Hornady's. It was shooting really nice groups with 110 gr Barnes and...

I too have been blessed with success in the field over the past 10 years: 2014: Moose 7MMSTW 2015: Stones sheep, moose and elk 7MM STW 2016: Moose 6.5 Creedmoor 2017: Caribou 6.5x55 2018: Caribou 338 Federal 2019: Grouse 28 ga and recurve (first year in 25 that I didn't take any big game)...

Everyday afield with friends and family is a success, regardless of the finn, fur or feather you bring home! If you do, it just adds the benefit of sharing more time at the table with friends and family enjoying in the sharing of the fruits of your labour, and the contentment of full bellies...

Are you sure it isn't avoiding the temptation to enable one in buying a new firearm?!?! ;)

Sorry, I haven't loaded for the 150 gr PT, as I went with the 140 gr bullets for compromise in velocity and energy in the 270. Re-19, 22 and 26 are top choices for the 140 gr AccuBond and Trophy Bonded Tip, and I've read that MagPro is a good powder for the 136 gr Terminal Ascent bullet which I...

I would go with the 280AI as I would want to try out Federal's 155gr Terminal Ascent ammo in it!

Sounds like a successful pre-season session for everyone! Now to just wait for those good shot opportunities 😁

That would explain the first response...no worries! The Finnbear is a beautiful rifle. My first 300 Win Mag was a Finnbear Deluxe (a gift from my father). Beautiful rifle with a smooth action. Started my experience and appreciation for Sako rifles, which has grown over time.

I might be wrong on this, and someone more knowledgeable than I can correct me as appropriate... But if memory serves the Sako VL63 Finnwolf lever action rifle was only available in short action chamberings...243, 244, 308, and 358. The 243 and 308 being the most common of this rare/scarce...

It is the memories of shared adventures that still brings big grins! :D

You all never spent a night in camp with the good Dr! Even though he spent the night alone in a tent, and my truck was parked a fair distance across the campsite, his snoring shook the ground and reverberated through the vehicle's tires and suspension so that you could feel his slumber tremors...
