2022 elk

If they would have used a standard magnum bolt face, They would have been way more popular.

Congrats on the elk. The bears just wanted to make sure that it was an adventure you won't soon forget.....

How exciting and nerve racking at the same time. Congrats on a successful hunt and an experience you won't forget.

The raft was a chugach mountain sports moose.

The dang bear actually broke the orange bucket too!!! Just didn't take a good picture of it.

With the 190 matrix I'm getting 2785fps with 17".

Nicely done! Congrats!

Good velocity on the 300 PRC (I'm getting 2800-2850 FPS with 210's and 18.5" bbl with my 30 Nosler XP).

Congrat's on your success!Looks like you fellows up that away deal with cloudy,hazy,etec days. What scopes do you guys prefer on your SP's that you hunt with?FFP or 2ndFP ? Reason for asking is,here in Kansas ,most deer I have shot,have been close to dawn or dusk just in trees mostly evenig. The ffp reticals on my SP's are tough to use in low light at 200 yds and on with animals just in treeline,I do think a fellow needs adjustable eye focus and the smallest IR retical,like a Leupold firedot.(gLasses and cateracts here) rules out my NF NX8 and a several others with bright christmas trees .I looked trough several FFP target scopes at dusk at my farm.My hunting Sp is a rear grip,So,the heavier scopes make it more trying when stalking.I'm leaning towrds a Leupold VX5 2-10,3-15 with firedot.What do ya suggest?Thanks,btw, I did purchase an xp-100 bedding block from ya couple years back,works great in my Rockwell stock.

Would you mind listing the specs of your Gun set up? (Action, barrel, stock, trigger, etc) Or point me in a directing that you have possibly posted it already?

Mine is a remington xp-100 chambered in 7mm dakota, PTG 1-piece bolt, bartlein 9t finished at 17", Holland gen2 radial brake, factory trigger that had been modified, I built the stock from scratch. It currently has a leupold 3-15 with a tmoa reticle. I don't have many FFP scopes. Just not enough experience with them to have an opinion yet.

Buddy and I got our Raspberry Island cow elk tags filled. Mine was 450 yards. Shane's was 550. He was using a 17" 300prc with 190 hornady cx. I used a 7 Dakota with 190 matrix. Lost some gear and meat to the brown bears....
