Concur on the Grip Angle. It can be addressed with some work, but I think it ought to be a little less steep to begin with. I don't buy a Handgun with the intent of have some fella redesign the dang grip! I'm with ya!

Building a Barn right now and son is catching-up at work. Hopefully, we'll get out this weekend...God willing and the river don't rise!

I lived in Wyoming for 18 years from about age 34 until 52. Job moved me to places at low Elevation, 500 to 1200 ft msl. Finally landed a position back in Wyoming (Cheyenne) and now live at 6,000ft. Last year was the first Elk hunt in past 5 years. All but KILLED me. Now I'm 63 and had no second...

Savage 110, 308Win - I bought it for my son when he was a little guy. First rifle and it SUCKED. Could not get it to shoot better than 4 MOA. I gave it a lot of lovin' and tried everything to get it to an acceptable level. Tried working up a load and used MANY different bullets and weights. The...

I'm considering starting a new thread of equally divisive subjects like "What is the Best cartridge for Elk", or deer, or prairie dogs. NAH! I promise. I won't. JK

I read the terminal ballistics paper, great share btw, and I agree with the writer on the fact that the shooting world, while generally aware of the physics, really don't have the depth of knowledge to make any accurate assumptions/conclusions based on a single factor being the 'Golden Chalice'...

I'd like to see a discussion on what is considered 'Enough' energy to effectively kill an Elk, Deer, Antelope...critter in general. I've seen folks suggest that anything over 1100ft/lbs all the way to a minimum of 1500. While looking at some Pistol data, I found that a .45ACP 230gn bullet has...

This almost gets into the old "what's the best cartridge for Elk" discussion. "Whatever you shoot best" is the best response I've heard. Back to the OP, I'm partial to the heavier, and therefore longer Bullet. They do better at longer range than the lighter speedier bullets in the first place...

Old Rooster, please don't take this the wrong way, as my intent is not to argue, but rather to help folks understand what manufacturers consider when building a product. I'm a Quality Engineer in Aerospace Manufacturing, and love it when people say, "QC should have caught that!" (I get that a...

That's true, and most of those were Cows. When you hunt the same area for many years, you get to know the most likely Paths of the animals when pushed, and you set-up in an advantageous position. Most Public lands see a lot of pressure, so you use that pressure to your advantage. Where I hunt...

I had to test the Gunwerks claim of 1000yds out of the box. It Werked Man! (Couldn't resist). 10 inch steel at 1,000, first shot. Love that thing. Although, the Revic Werkman scope is set-up to only dial to about 1200yds and it stops. Seems to me you ought to be able to spin it a couple more...

Top, Brian and Ian impressed me with how articulate they were, for a couple of Marines. You must have worked with one or both of them at some point, and helped them with their language/presentation skills. It was an excellent class and worth every dime. Certainly better than small arms training...

I believe I was in that LRU1 class with you, if you're the one that shocked me when you mentioned you couldn't own a suppressor up North (Not too many Canucks in those classes). I absolutely concur with your assessment. Hope all is well! PS - Two days later I went to Gunwerks and bought a...

My son just had me put one on his 300WBY. Having trouble getting it zero'd We'll shoot this weekend when gets back from where ever they sent him this time. Hopefully it's the Old man not getting it done. I'll post results when we get it figured one way or the other.

32 Elk over the years, and all but three were less than 100yds. most of those were inside 70 yards. Longest was 545yds. Clearly the more typical for me is inside 100yds on Elk, and about 300 to 400yds for Pronghorns.
