At $7500 your sort of limited without a public land draw tag. $7500 will cover a good guide fee and lodging however. I would look at eastern CO on private ground. Or dig a little deeper 10/11k and go to Alberta. Mule deer is along term points game or buying expensive landowner tags or some of...

I have a McMillan/ Bob Beck built rifle. McMillan action and stock. Bob now owns MOA Rifles. It is in 7mm Ultra mag. Was a development rifle ( he built 2) for then new 195 Berger bullet in 2013 I think. It’s sporter weight gun about 7 1/2 pounds bare, but I put a heavy NF 5-25 ATACR on it. It...

If you can find one get a 4-16 42mm SFP. They discontinued it a few years ago. At 16x it has a small FOV but with the big 34mm the 42mm obj is ok and gathers plenty of light and it saves weight. They only make the 4-16 50mm now in SFP. Second only to your binos - high end rifle glass is the...

There is no perfect solution - the ATX system will have you broke in no time however it is so versatile with the btx or single eyepiece. Agree with above. 115 from the truck or short walks to glass high points. 65mm when packing in or a long day hike. There is a significant step up with light...

On my main hunting rifle, 7 ultra 195 Berger at 3100. I zero at 300. 0-350 is easy and fast, 400 yards and more i dial. 7 years and lots of animals with this combo, it works for me. Other guns for targets and short range I use 100.

Everyone has the same idea Ruger 10/22 ( backpacker one that holds the extra mags in the stock). Glock 17 x 2. Semi auto 308 you pick. 12 gauge - for me would be an 870 5.56 AR Bonus gun 9mm Glock Mag compatible AR Common rounds that everyone has stocked up on already, not counting...

6.5 creed by far. The stuff I hear people say about it magical capabilities all the time is nuts. Like it is some new thing. Pure marketing, yes I have two, lol. But they are good for what they are. Just not 900 yard clean deer kills.

Over the counter and pronghorn do not really go in the same sentence. There is a archery pronghorn tag in MT 700 I think that covers huge area and is easy to draw maybe not 100 percent with zero points but close I think. Should have been buying some cheap Wyoming points. No one bow hunts...

The one you already own and can shoot the best, if hiking a lot keep weight in mind. Boring answer I know.

Hunted it last year. Go to the western half of the unit. There are several places on the ridges with trees you can tuck into a small camper and have a nice spot. You will need onX as it is a mix of checkerboard. We got permission to hunt like 4/5k acres for $50 from a rancher. Good hunt, nice...

I have the 10x 42mm Zeiss Conquest, I love them. There are several good ones in the $1000 range. Just remember how much time you spend looking through them for what you spend on other things. They also last a long time buy once cry once.

Somehow I really doubt that bounty will ever be collected.

If you want less meat damage and clean kills hard to beat any of Barnes bullets or bonded premium bullets, Swift Scirrocco Accubond etc. Shoulder hits with ELDs or any non bonded bullets get pretty nasty. 160 Accubond in a 7mag of any flavor is as good of an all around lower 48 rifle there is.

I have looked at both, own two ATACRs. The eyebox thing is real for sure. You may not always have to proper set up in a hunting situation and the forgiving eye box is nice. Wait I thought he already had decided on the ATACR, these things always happen. If they come out with a 4-20 50mm SFP I...

ATACR line is probably the best line of hunting scopes out there if you can deal with +30 Oz weight - heavy yes but rock solid dependable and tough. They used to make a 4-16 42mm SFP. A bit lighter if you can find one. 42mm is fine with the big 34mm tube.
