Amphibious said:Ah! Rem Mtn Rifle... MMmmm I love those things, my hunting partner has the stainless version in .260rem. what he hunts with for everything around here. glad to hear there are some sensible hunters left, a .30-06 to most hunters up here is fit only for deer and black bear. "Elk are tough critters, bettr bring a magnum" attitude prevails. Boyscout? Eagle by any chance?
Range day today. Going in For surgery tomorrow and it;ll be a while before I get to shoot again
Nope, never a real Boy Scout actually... Made it through Weblos but then ... long story..... BUT, being prepared was never a bad thing. Actually, I went hunting for the first time in High School when I was 17 (with the .358 previously mentioned) and then not again until I was 32 and out of the Navy. But, by that time, I already had done a lot of bench work with the Remington and the Ruger.....
"Elk are tough critters?" Not if your aim is half-way decent. The right load will do wonders! and, the best part of all... they taste YUMMY!
Ahhh yeah. Those were the days...... <heavy sigh>
