I'm traveling to Colorado next week to scout my hunting location. The question is can I buy a firearm there with out the hassel I get from trying to buy one from where I live here in California. Ten day waiting period!
The nearest store that sells any form of rifle is the Big 5, pre scope...
I had been shooting my trusty custom k98 30-06 for most of my life. A couple of years ago I decided to try a new rifle so I bought a browning a-bolt 325wsm.
All the information I read on the caliber said that It had the velocity of the flat shooting 300wm and had the knock down power of the...
All of the above comments are good info. For me it's not about the trophy any more, it's about the hunt starting from write now.
The months, weeks then day's leading up to the hunt are what gets my motor going.
Respect the beast-No long range running shots-If you have wounded

HunterJim,
Nope, don't know Charlie. In my youth I spent most all my summers in Colbran working on the ranch. Spent free time trapping muskrats and fishing in the small creek next to the ranch house. Those were the days.

I have a couple of cousins that have a working cattle ranch on the western slope of Colorado. In the fall they have an elk and mule deer guide service on their land. They say they loose more elk with the 7mm mag and any thing under that caliber. They sugest 300 mags and...
Just installed a Limsaver recoil pad on my 325wsm a-bolt. Used Double Tap ammo 200gr. Accubonds, wow what a differance it made. About 1/2 the recoil and the pad fit the stolk perfectly.
1st shot low and a bit to the right. I was expecting the usual pounding & flinched.
2nd shot better.
