I wish that I had the extra money 💵 laying around to buy such a beautiful rifle. I remember looking at a regular Woodstock version in 7 REM Mag 15 years ago but passed on it.
That’s definitely a good idea as well especially since tags 🏷️, licenses and ammo are not cheap.
I applied for a muzzleloader hunt in Utah that I should draw so I won’t need the rifle for at least a year.
I could try that again we did soak it with a carbon buster before for hours and try and turn it.
I didn’t figure they would send me a new rifle and that was just a dream 💭.
Depending upon if I were going to go with a different cartridge or not I also would sell the reloading supplies and ammo...
Nope sadly not. With being a newly married man and a recent (Sept 23) home owner amongst other things I haven’t gotten around to either trying round two of trying to get that brake off, have a gunsmith do it or even chop and rethreaded, or sent back to Savage, or sold and use that money 💰 for a...
I don’t dislike Savage at all even though my A17 is a single shot instead of a semi automatic, even after getting a new mag, cleaning it and using the appropriate ammo.
There’s two lefties in Savage that I would like. That being the Timberline or Ultralight.
I just wanted to try something...
I have cleaned out the barrel but not the brake specifically. We did try to use a carbon buster and let it soak for a long time and turn it with no luck 🍀.
I have a Savage Model 110 Long Range Hunter in 300 WSM that I bought new in 2019 mostly as a compliment to my late 90s Savage M110 270 Win LH wood 🪵 stock rifle. Something that I could use out west with confidence on any of the species from moose 🫎 if I could ever afford to apply and get lucky...
Thanks I will definitely have to check that out. Thanks for the reminder on that.
I have thought of that as well to make it more worth the drive out there for the amount of meat I can potentially bring home vs the fuel cost to get out there among other costs. A non resident doe antelope tag is...
I understand the pitfalls of having two tags for different species, especially those that usually different environments. It will depend upon how much time off I can muster to be able to go 21+ hours west. If I have a full 10 days I believe I can find a decent pronghorn buck in the first couple...
Yeah I would probably have to actually go into November for that. October is pre rut. What you mentioned is what I have been thinking of doing actually. I know that I can find a decent pronghorn buck in a day or two as long as I don't have any issues travelling around the unit and getting...
Sounds like a good plan, I don't need the famed high country mule deer experience to be satisfied on my first hunt in Wyoming. So any low or open country bucks that are so 130 or better are on my list.
The later dates have me worried about snow, but the earlier season has more chance for rain which many say could be even worse with how muddy the country roads would be for accessing pieces of public.
Thanks for the advice on where to look for those pronghorn and possibly low country muleys.
I was thinking the same thing about how much more of a challenge finding a 130 in or bigger 3x3 or 4x4 mule deer buck is versus a 70 in representative pronghorn buck, and focus more on that.
