    Wyoming mule deer

    Really would depend on what I wanted and or how close it was to the end of the season along with if I wanted the meat.

    Not old just vintage.....

    I got the biggest kick.

    True elk hunters would of had a chainsaw in their truck and could of driven up to the locked gate.

    Entry level rifle on a budget

    You should really enjoy that rifle and cartridge. I haven't heard anything about that scope but I do have a couple of Burris scopes on hand guns and they have held up great. All of my rifles pack Leupolds except for one old Redfield

    Poaching Rant....

    I have always said that until jail time is mandatory that they will never slow it down. Poaching by its very definition shows that they have no regard to the laws to taking away their licenses and tags will have very little consequences.

    Elk Hunting Tricks

    That's the smart way of doing it. At my favorite hunting spot for elk I can do the same thing. Only problem is drawing a cow tag anymore.

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    Making a jig to hold them centered shouldn't be that hard. You would want a flat nose to start the drill bit and it may take some experimenting to get it just right. You could use some milk jugs filled with water or see if you could find some ballistic gel to shoot them into.

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    I've never hunted with hollow points other than with Barnes copper ones. Hollow points are designed for rapid expansion and not deeper penetration. I have a friend that was using a .357 magnum with hollow points down in Arizona hunting javelina. He hit a few of them with the round and we...

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    It doesn't help when the manufactures come out with rifles like Remington's Ultimate muzzle loader that is designed for more powder than you can pack with you. Then there are the hunters who are taking the 400 yard shots with a muzzle loader. In my opinion it is getting way out of hand...

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    That's where I am moving into the .50 cal direction and picked up the .50 cal barrel for my Renegade. However you may have a tough time trying to find a left hand barrel for your rifle in .50 cal. I would just watch Ebay and see if one by chance shows up. I looked at a couple of online used...

    Savage 110 Rfles

    To get technical there are three action types. Short, long, and magnum. Short actions are just that, shorter than the others. The bolt doesn't need to travel as far backwards before ejecting and picking up another round than a long action. They are also suppose to be lighter than the long...

    Savage 110 Rfles

    Personally I went with the 25-06 over the Creedmore. But then I have a thousand or so empty once fired 30-06 cases that I can use. What it really comes down to is a short action vs a long action

    Ammunition shortage

    I saw on TV today where Biden is talking about proposing a tax on our firearms. Right now it is AK's and other so called "black rifles" He figures that it will raise 34 billion dollars.

    Entry level rifle on a budget

    In my book if you are a experienced shooter/hunter and pass up a lot of questionable shots then a 6.5 is good for elk but........if not go with a larger bullet such as the .30 calibers that you mentioned. In my book you can not beat a .36-06. But then I like it better than either of the...

    Entry level rifle on a budget

    Both that you listed will fit the bill for a first rifle. Right now it may be hard to find either in the used market, rifles and handguns along with ammo have been either hard to find or they are getting premium prices for them. You might also look at the used rifles at Cabela's, I can't...
