There better idea. Gave 2 walleye to neighbour already

Ok... if you come up bear hunting... make sure some you save some time for spring walleye and pike fishing. Anybody can catch fish this timeout the year lol. Limited out in both in 1.5 hrs and was throwing back 4-6 lb walleye and pike. But now the **** work begins. Sheesh. Just wanted a rum...

And I have to agree with Calvin45... You don't need much patience in a hunting blind up here... but travelling via Air Canada... waiting for them is like watching a trophy bear on the other side of a lake and you don't have a boat. There's an equal chance of that bear swimming across the lake...

Whereabouts were you in Saskatchewan? Gotta admit we see them all the time up here. EXTREMELY HAPPY that you are coming up to take care of them. Not sure what the population is like but it wasn't unusual for us to see 10-12 bears per day while out elk hunting. They love to lie in the canola...

Dang it... he's right... On the actual topic... you NEED both!!!

Your not married are you????? Or you have a wayyyyyyyyyy more accepting wife then I have. Mind you... when we met she asked me oh... how many guns are on your list to finish off your collection? I said 3. I think that was roughly 35-40 rifles ago. Although I found that if I ask her if I can...

Yeah... as mentioned by Southpa above... first question... how much are you willing to spend? Then go to the store and start comparing them and see what feels good. Do you like/want low turrets (I learnt the hard way with that one when the side elevation turret is going into your hand when you...

Check out the Vortex LHT (Light Hunter Tactical). I picked up one for my Blaser K95 in 300 Wby and it's a nice lightweight scope. I haven't mounted it yet, but the clarity is really good. It has a zero stop. You can get custom turrets. And they offer a 3 to 15 x42 and a 4.5 to 22 x 50. I...

Sheesh.... try living in Saskatchewan!!!! If you notice in the bottom... they list the temperature predictions for the week!!!

I gotta add my 2 cents only because I LOVE any and all of the 300 magnums. I own 1 x 300 WSM, 5 x 300 WM, 3 x 300 Wby, 1 x 300 RUM, 1 x 30-378 Wby. I just haven't found a 300 H&H or 30 Ruger yet that I like enough to buy (gun configuration wise yet). No animal alive can tell the difference...

My vote... 257 Wby. Mild recoil. Very flat shooting... hits hard... ammo available everywhere... Love the cartridge as 300 yard shots with it feel like you can't miss IF you do your part. Have a 26 nosler but haven't fired it enough to see if all the hoopla is worth it on this cartridge.

But on a serious note... a friend used to shoot 110 grain bullets (can't remember what they were - might have actually been Hornady Interlocks) over max loads in his 300 Wby. Did those bullets ever get on target in one H3LL of a hurry!!!

Well... my 30-378 Wby with 165 grain moly coated Barnes bullets. I think I got it up around 3570 fps. If I recall my ballistics... at 370 yards it was going AS FAST as a 308 does when it exits the barrel. But the only thing that gun has shot is a BIG cow moose who was on the run at 30-35...

@Mark37082 You are an evil evil man for showing/listing that action. I don't need it... but I sure want it!!!!

The one thing I find rather funny is about being able to see where your shot hits through the scope. I will argue that it is not about the weight of the gun but more so about the stock design combined with a few other parameters. I'll give a few examples... you can watch the bullets hit (cross...
