How is the Z600 or 800 recticle in the field? Does it get lost with low light conditions

Can't go wrong with a Hoyt, they are among the best. I also have one back from the 90's, grand slam supreme, that shot alot of deer and is still going strong. Good luck with it

Thats some nice wood. I do like wood stocks. I'm still not sure where I want to go with the it. I'll think about it some. Scotty, The Minox has me a little spooked after I had to send it back for service, but I'll put it back on the Whelen. The 4200 will prob go back on the Weatherby. The 50mm...

Its going to be my little one for deer/ utility. I don't have anything smaller than a 30 cal. for hunting. For the barrel, I was thinking of going with a 23". I have that on the whelen and I like it. I have a 4.5x14 leupold on the side which I may swap out onto the 300wm. That would leave me...

During the summer I picked up a 700 short action that was already worked over by my gunsmith. It had a heavy bull barrel in 260 on it. Yesterday, I had stopped in to say hello and got to talking and by the time I left, he was going to order a barrel for it today. Going with a Shilen #3 with 1/8...

I picked up a S2 last year and I like it. I shot some old loads to break it in and see how it did. It shot well with loads for another gun. Trigger was not bad either. It was my first non remington. I picked up a SPS Tactical a couple of years ago and it shot very well. Eventually, I did work it...

Teknys, I've had the same type of year so far. In Colorado, it seemed the elk were at the morning meeting and knew where I was going to be. They were close but no shots. While bow hunting at home, I saw a real nice 8 pt while hunting one of my best spots on state land. About 10 minutes before...

I used to be a remington guy but I'm not impressed with their quality on any of the products under any of the parent companys. I think its hit or miss right now and they need to square things up. I had purchased a number of new shotguns and rifles which had to be addressed by either sending them...

My 30-06 Remington used to like 57.5 IMR 4350 @ 3.330 with the 165''s. 61 R22 also at 3.330. It worked in a friends 700 too. It also shot the BT and Partitions very good there also.

Scotty, enjoy the times as much as you can. I haven't hunted with mine in a few years due to him having a hard time walking anymore. To get him out, I have to find places he can get to and not too far. He calls a few times a week asking how the hunting is going. I'm sure they enjoy being out...

Bull and cow It was a good trip and the weather was not the best in the beginning of the week. We left a day early which was a good choice. Rt 70 was a mess past Vail and then the pending storm at home. The shore area got hit which was in the news but the interior got shredded with the wind...

Wednesday snow on top

Colorado traffic jam

We went over to the other side of the bowl 2 days later and hunted a big draw where they come off the 2 different ridges and sat for about 45 minutes. When we went back to the upper saddle above us, the elk had crossed behind us stepping on our tracks when we came through earlier. You could...

My electric is still out. working with a genny. This area is a mess. Power co , not so good. We still have wires blocking roads. I'll try to post some of the pic's Here they were across the bowl. There were spread out on the ridge. This was the main group. There were more behind them. A good...

Dan, I had an issue with mine also when I was done sighting in for the trip. I went to turn the power ring down and the whole rear section of scope spun. I contacted Minox and sent it in. This was 4 weeks out. They stated to mention about the upcoming trip on the repair request. I told them to...

Scotty, I have been looking at the Savage 220 also. I have been using a muzzleloader for firearms week here for a bunch of years. I have Remington and Mossberg pumps and a 11-87, but its not the same. I have spoke to alot of folks here about the Savage and they all love them. They shoot well...

On Friday we went to the ranch and glassed at first light at the gate to check the fields to see if any Elk were there. They were in the back corner working their way into the mountain. The next morning it took us 2 hours to hike to a saddle above them for first light. They were there but went...

JD, I went with the 225AB and 60.5 R15. It shoots really well. I try latter to post more. I'm getting the attachment quota message right now.

We just got back from Western Co. Overall it was a good trip. We had hunted the same property 2 years ago. We have 2 groups and rotate each year so we retain the property. The weather was hot the first 2 days then the winds came in for 3 days and we had over 40 mph on top of the mountain the 3rd...
