    Henry Mountain tag numbers

    After all that drama on the credit card it appears I wasn't fortunate enough to come up with a rifle tag for the Henries. It hurts but it's better to preserve the unit.

    Henry Mountain tag numbers

    Bucksmut describes the same experience I had earlier this afternoon. The lady told me they accidently gave the wrong numbers to the draw agency and that the problem needed to be corrected. She said the draw for the unit was still in process and applicants would know results for sure by May 31st...

    Hatch vs Moss

    Well said, Marley. I haven't run across a Mossback customer that has been disappointed yet. Congratulations on your nice buck off the Henry Mountain. It looks like you had a great time. I'm hoping to draw a muzzleloader tag there this year.

    barrel twist for a 180gr 7mm berger?

    I shoot a 180 grain Berger VLD from my factory Remington 700 Sendero chambered for 7mm Ultra Mag. It has a 1 in 9.5 twist. I have installed an extended magazine box so I can seat the bullets to a longer overall cartridge length. It flies through the Chrony at 3250 fps fifteen feet away from...

    Let's See 2010 San Juan Rifle Deer

    We only saw two other deer killed down there for the short time we had. One was a smaller four point that we helped a guy load on his four wheeler, and the other one look to be about the same size as the one my father shot. We saw larger deer on the oping day and passed on them thinking we had...

    Let's See 2010 San Juan Rifle Deer

    Here's one my 71 year old father took after 11 years of putting in. We received a cell phone call mid-day during the second day letting us know there had been a family emergency and that we needed to head home. A decision was made to make a last minute effort to find a buck. We put my father on...

    Will I ever draw a tag on the Henrys?

    I now have 15 points and hope that 2011 will be my year. You just never know when your lucky number will come up.

    info on Spring Creek/Dodge

    Todd knows what he's talking about. Lots of beautiful country, lots of huge bulls, and very few cows. Your best chances of taking a cow is sitting on one of their small lakes in the evening and waiting for something to come in. The bull to cow ratio down there is crazy out of balance. Take...

    teflon coating your rifle

    I go through Black Ice Coatings http://www.blackicecoatings.com/ located in the Payson/Spanish Fork, Utah area. They use a duPont process that I've personally found to be tough as nails. Lee Mecham has been in the business for several years and his prices are reasonable. Check them out.

    Bedding Factory Synthetic Stocks

    Is there a bedding material out there that can be used to bed an action to a factory Remington, Winchester, Ruger, etc... synthetic stock? I have a Remington 700 XCR and I'm not so sure the existing epoxy based bedding materials will stick to what appears to be more of a plastic stock than...

    Venison vs Beef

    VENISON VERSUS BEEF - THE TASTE CONTROVERSY ENDS FROM THE UNITED STATES VENISON COUNCIL Controversy has long raged about the relative quality and taste of venison and beef as gourmet foods. Some people say that venison is tough, with a strong "wild" taste. Others insist that venison's...

    Opening Morning Wasatch Bull

    We don't know anything different. We just grew up wearing hunter orange when rifle hunting in Utah. If for nothing else it lets other hunters know we are people, not game animals moving through the timber.

    Opening Morning Wasatch Bull

    No typo on the 815 yards. I ranged it and dialed the scope myself. The gun is more than capable, and obviously Ketih was familiar with how to put it to work on the bull. Here is a side view of the bull. He rough scored at 337 B&C.

    Opening Morning Wasatch Bull

    I'm posting this for a friend (Keith) who shot his first bull elk on opening day of the Wasatch limited entry rifle hunt. We hunted near White River were we found four separate bulls bugling in the same small canyon. We started a stock on the closest one that had the deepest growl. After...

    Rem. 700 Sendero Accuracy

    Okay. Went back to the hills today with a box of factory Winchester 150 grain Power-Point loads, and a few of my own reloads with Berger 168 grain VLDs. The setup was a portable bench with sand bags. Pretty stable overall. Shooting 100 yards. 0-1 mile an hour wind. Huskemaw 5-20 scope. The red...

    Rem. 700 Sendero Accuracy

    Gentlemen, It is certainly possible that I'm making mistakes in the process of setting up this new rifle,and I will go over everything again, but I think I have a problem with the rifle. My father was a gunsmith for the majority of my life and all of these things are routine. I first started...

    Rem. 700 Sendero Accuracy

    I recently purchased a Remington 700 Sendero SFII chambered for the 7mm Remington Mag. With the exception of adjusting the factory trigger down to 2.5 pounds there have been no modifications made to the rifle. I carefully cleaned the barrel after each shot for the first ten shots fired through...

    270wsm or 300 wsm

    I have both. I've very successfully taken pronghorn antelope, mule deer and big elk with each of them. The largest elk was taken in Wyoming during the fall of 2007 by my 15 year old son. He took a 340 6x8 bull with my .270 WSM using a 130 grain Nosler Accubond bullet. I prefer the 165 grain...

    Browning BAR Safari II Trigger

    I recently purchased a new Browning BAR Safari II in .300 Win Mag w/BOSS. With the exception of the trigger the rifle is very nice looking and enjoyable to shoot. Soooo... what's up with the trigger in these things. The pull weight itself doesn't seem to bad, but the creep is horrible. Is there...

    Chad's First Elk, must read

    Nice job guys. You're awesome to team up with Chops to make this dream come true for Chad. Congratulations to everyone. My hat is off to the taxidermist that offered to mount the elk for free. That is a heck of a nice gesture.

    Youth Elk Hunt Success

    Here is a nice 6x6 bull taken by Kyle and his dad on the Utah Youth Elk Hunt. This is Kyle's first elk hunt. He took the bull just before dark as he stepped out of the trees with three cows. His parents presented him with his 7mm Rem. Mag. as a congratulations gift for earning his Eagle Scout...

    Wasatch Opening Day Rifle Bull

    LAST EDITED ON Sep-15-08 AT 07:13PM (MST)[p]Here's an exciting, and true, story that some of you will debate the ethics of for quite some time. Why? Because Chad put this bull elk down at an honest 973 laser yards. Believe it or not here is the story of my cousin - Chad's - Wasatch opening...

    Loads for 375 ultra-mag

    RE: Loads for 375 ultra-mag Regarding a "good scope mounting system." I ended up installing a Badger picatinny scope base and using Leupold Mark 4 Aluminum Rings. The scope hasn't moved since going to this system.

    Loads for 375 ultra-mag

    RE: Loads for 375 ultra-mag I enjoy my .375 Ultra Mag, and I haven't had to go to Africa to do it. I use mine to shoot elk, and long range targets... 1,000 + yards. I had a Vais muzzle break installed on mine. My pet load is a Rem 9 1/2M primer, 96.0 grains of IMR-4350 powder, and a 260...

    Is there a company or individual out there that offers a magazine system for the Browning BAR that hold more rounds than that offered by the factory? I would like to purchase a BAR Safari in .300 WSM but want to carry more rounds than just the 2 offered in the factory magazine. More like 4 or...

    Sako V action & .338 Lapua Cartridge

    The .338 RUM is a good option. The numbers are close to the Lapua and the brass is a whole lot less expensive. I'm not sure why I can't get the 7 RUM to shoot. I've glass bedded the action in the stock and adjusted the factory trigger down to a crisp 3 lbs. I also put a Briley muzzle brake...

    Sako V action & .338 Lapua Cartridge

    I have a beautiful Sako rifle factory chambered for the 7mm Remington Ultra Mag cartridge. In this particular rifle I can't get factory loads, or handloads to shoot worth a darn. I'm wondering if I can have this rifle rebarreled to handle the .338 Lapua cartridge. Thanks in advance.
