The elk was hit in the vertebrae of the neck. It would have dropped like that even if it was hit by a .243 The guy standing in front of the lens is suspect, but I'm not a good judge of distance. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

Shooting low and left is common for right handed pistol shooters. It's a combination of not pressing the trigger straight back, and anticipating the shot. Some dry fire practice should clear it up. There are some inexpensive Glock trigger connectors available that can reduce the pull...

If one was to be in the market for a .338 RUM, where would one look? I see some Senderos on the used market, but it doesn't look like Remington is making them any more. It seems that everyone either wants the .338 Win Mag, or the Lapua.

I saw that too. I'll bet he regrets it, if he sells. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

I can certainly see why she would love the 1911. It's heavy enough to mitigate some recoil, and thin enough for smaller hands to get around. The single action trigger on a good one is not unlike the surreal touch of an ivory key on a grand piano. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

That would be interesting. It might make it more affordable for more people. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

Well, I passed on it. It was really used and gummed up. It was probably still a decent deal, but I just wasn't feeling it. I told the guy that I'd still be interested if he wanted to go lower on the price, but he didn't want to budge. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

I don't know yet. I'm going to go check it out today. How do I tell the difference? Sent from the edge of my galaxy

I got a lead on a No. 1 in .338 Winchester Magnum for $600. I need a crash course on what to look for on this particular rifle. I've heard that No.1 rifles are sometimes finicky to get them to shoot. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

Can anyone here recommend any good audiobooks that are hunting/gun related? Sent from the edge of my galaxy

Nice pictures. I grew up in the shadow of the Wasatch range in Utah. Every time I see mountains like that, it takes me back to my childhood. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

I've never hunted pheasants, so my opinion isn't worth 2 cents. But I'll go out on a limb and say whichever one you shoot best. I follow Ron Spomer's stories and photos; he is a big fan of the 28 gauge because it's light and fast handling. So I wouldn't think that it would matter whether you...

A co-worker of mine shot a nice bull several years ago, with his .378 Weatherby. He affectionately refers to this rifle as his sledgehammer. He hit the bull about 80 yards away, in the front shoulder, with a 270 grain Hornady bullet, I forget exactly which one. The bull, he said just kinda...

While effective, hardly an elk hammer, IMO It seems the author of this article is an Elmer Keith disciple: http://www.americanhunter.org/articles/ ... artridges/ Sent from the edge of my galaxy

Thus we can see, elk are more tenacious than elephants. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

For the sake of argument, let's say all cartridges in question are properly placed shots, within reasonable distances. You're telling me that a hit from a 400/450 Nitro won't obliterate both shoulders and knock it down? Sent from the edge of my galaxy

What rifle cartridge exists that will, with consistency, knock an elk down. I mean like Thor's hammer knockdown DRT. Or does it not exist? I've never been fortunate enough to take an elk. But I'm wondering if such a cartridge exists that will hammer an elk like my .308 did to my antelope...

First day of the fall turkey season, yesterday. First day hunting turkey, ever for me. And the first day hunting the Kaibab. Hung out most of the day within a few miles of Jacob's Lake. Since it was all new to me, and thick trees, I didn't venture too far from the many numbered roads. My...

Excellent! Good luck to you. (y)

The next logical step is a 6.5-378 Weatherby. ... Sent from the edge of my galaxy
