I would agree that 6.5 CM is a great caliber if you don’t want to reload. I’ve got a Bergara that shoots so well with all the factory ammo I’ve tried, that I don’t waste my time reloading for it. I have always been a huge Sierra fan, but my 6.5 shoots factory Hornady ammo (everything I’ve...

What a beautiful black tail! Congrats!

My buddy kills one or two each year on his farm in ND. I’ve seen the pics. This year most likely to be more as they got a ton of rain at the right time. I’ll be shooting one with my bow the end of September, I’ll post pics! (How’s that for overconfidence) Here in Arizona, 100 lbs is a good Coues...

I have worked at several gun stores and have literally played with every bolt action rifle built. They are all different from the factory, and when brand new, very few feel as good as they will after being properly lubricated and cycled. That said, my preference for any custom build would be a...

Congrats on your bull, that’s a trophy in my book! I used to really be into trophy Coues WT hunting here in Arizona, and I’ve shot my share of good ones. However, now I hunt with my two sons, and it’s all about the time I get to spend with them. If I get anything to put in the freezer, that’s...

Good luck to everyone here headed out elk hunting! Please post updates with pics so we can see how you did. My son and I have rifle bull tags in Arizona. Our hunt starts this coming Friday the 23rd. If any of you guys with rifle tags need a good backup rifle (not for long range), check out the...
