I agree with what others have said about the Browning Hell's Canyon. Would definitely take a serious look at that.

Cooper Excalibur Model 52 with Leupold VX6 2-12x42 in .270 Winchester. Pretty much a perfect mule deer/pronghorn rifle combo in my opinion.

I have the HC Long Range McMillan in 6mm Creedmoor. Finally got the scope mounted on it and took it out a couple weekends ago. After about a box of plinking with Hornady Precision Match ammo I shot a 3-shot group with the last three shells and the results are below. With the shoot and see...

Very good transaction. I would definitely deal with him again.

Is it safe to say that you guys that have used it feel it's worth the investment?

I think the best broadhead out there for any purpose right now is Iron Will Outfitters broadheads. Super accurate at any range I've shot them, tough, and very sharp. They are kind of spendy but I really think they are worth the price.

Does anyone have any experience with the Garmin inReach GPS's? I may be headed to Colorado solo this fall and my wife in particular likes the idea of having the ability to use satellite communication if need be. It would seem they should be able to get at least a message out from anywhere in...

Bought some scope rings from him. Shipping was fast even though delivery was not - 100% a post office issue. I would definitely deal with him again.

Have you tried Precision Hunter factory loads in the rifle? Obviously heavier but I would think it's a better bullet for hunting purposes.

I have a Kuiu 7200 and 1850 Icon Pro and like them just fine. They are light, handle loads well, and affordable. I would really like to try a Stone Glacier or Kifaru as I believe they are the two best made right now but they are twice as much as the Kuiu and don't know if you get twice the pack.

My favorite is definitely packing in for elk. Successful in killing or not the hunt is always awesome and worth the effort. Spot and stock mule deer is a very close second.

I practice all positions but will use prone every chance I can get - which is more often than not. To each his own, however, we do owe it to the animal to kill as quickly and cleanly as possible and to have the discipline to know when a shot shouldn't be taken because you aren't in the proper...

Thanks for the suggestions. I look into some of them. Hopefully the schedule and the weather cooperate and I can get out soon.

I'm going to give that a try. I feel pretty good about the scope but I'm going to try a different one once I get some decent weather and a little time. Since it got me back to the same place after removing and trying different ring setups I have my doubts whether that could be the problem but...

I recently purchased a Browning Long Range McMillan in 6mm Creedmoor. I mounted a Leupold VX6-HD 3x18x44 on it with Seekins Precision rings. I already comes with a 20 moa base. Took it to the range to sight it in and with my elevation as low as it will go I'm still 4.5 inches high at 100...
