    Sierra matchking performance on game

    I've killed multiple Whitetails with my .308 using 175 MKs and the results were all the same. Every one of them died. The shocking power of this round was incredible. All deer acted like they were electrocuted before taking a few steps and dropping. The deer ranged anywhere from 80-350 yards...

    perfect scope for 338 WM. ?

    Nightforce 2.5-10X42 10 power will easily get you out to 1k and 2.5 is great for hunting thick cover. Having a scope with the lower end being in the 4.5-5.5 range is too much for close shots in cover.

    Colorado 3rd Rifle Strategy

    Hello, I will be hunting 3rd rifle (Colorado) this year for the first time. This is a new area I've never hunted before and it will be a drop camp hunt. Any suggestions or advice on hunting late season elk? This is a first for me as I've always done DIY 1st rifle or archery for Elk. Thanks, GH

    Hunting unit 65 or 66

    I've hunted 65 for the last three years on public ground. I've had very good success. It's probably not the unit to hunt if your looking for trophy bulls, however I've seen a few decent bulls. Hunting pressure in 65 is normal for CO.

    I'm getting ready to build a new hunting rifle and I've decided to go with the 6.5 SAUM 4S. I'm leaning towards a GAP Extreme Hunter. What are your opinions on a magazine fed vs. top loader for a hunting rifle? I'm not looking to play the oz game in my setup, just wanting to see what your...
