    Messing with Nosler Accubond 140 gr 7mm in 280 AI

    22" barrel on a Savage Ultralight, Nosler factory loaded 140gr. Accubond, 3010 fps, 2 dead elk bulls, one cow and 2 mule deer. Couldn't be happier

    Tikka .308

    My wife and I own 2 Tikkas, T3 Lite 308 and T3x Lite in 6.5CM. Only change was a $10 trigger spring. Both shoot sub MOA with factory ammo at 100 and beyond. One thing I noticed is that Tikkas seem to have "slow" barrels. Over a chrono, factory shoots slower in the Tikkas then other factory...

    Two Tikkas to paradise...

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but my T3x Lite in 6.5CM has a 24.3 inch barrel. I believe the Superlite has the same. the heavier weight of the SS offsets the fluting, no?

    Ok. Just for fun. What's the worst broad head you have ever used

    I was just going to post those heads. They accounted for many deer for me, but always looking for one or two of those blades when dressing.

    Unit 5a Late Bull Rifle

    My wife has drawn a tag for a late rifle hunt in AZ Unit 5a. I posted a question months ago and had great response. I thought I would add another, since situations have changed. We had a burn in 5a that took much of the area that we had looked at and been recommended to, out. We were unable to...

    500 Yrds?

    Thank you all for your comments. I guess we will have to see how good my approach skills are on a late season bull. My wife and I regularly shoot out to 500yrds, and we play at further. I guess my concern is not being able to make the shot, but whether we have enough energy for a quick clean...

    500 Yrds?

    Sorry, we are hunting 5a.

    500 Yrds?

    We do have a 6.5 creed, but the energy over 400 yards is questionable. We can both make a good shot on an elk at 500, but just doesn't seem an ethical chance to take. We could go bigger. But why? We will do whatever it takes to get closer, if it is to be it will be. I have almost 3 dozen...

    500 Yrds?

    My wife and I have been really lucky and have drawn a late season bull tag in central Arizona. We are excited to get out there and scout and find a nice bull for her to shoot. We have spoken to alot of people, and we seem to hear many of the same things from most. I have read that 500+ yards...

    Late Season Bull Tag unit 5A

    My wife and I are new to Arizona, and newer to Elk hunting in general. She mentioned to me when we moved here from Illinois that since we enjoy elk so much, we should go get our own. Lucky man. I have been hunting for the first 20 years of my life in the Midwest, all whitetails and bows...

    Arizona is hitting cards.

    Anyone out there have any suggestions for 5A late rifle bull tag? I am a Midwestern boy (old man) and a wonderful wife who drew, but this is all new to us. We are in mesa and looking for anyone familiar with that unit that might have a few tips on where to start. Trail capable jeep, but no 4...
