I've built a handful of 35 whelens for Iowa customers. Definitely a 4-500 yard round in the hands of a decent shot. Recoil is surprisingly mild even with a 200gr bullet near 300 FPS.
I run the revic BR4. Pretty sweet since it's got the onboard ballistics capability. Has tracked great to 1000+ yards.
One of my buddies that I was hunting with last year said he dropped his RF on a sheep hunt. Ended up whiffing on a sheep at like 400 yards from a solid rest. His...
I actually live in North Phoenix. My wife is from Cananea, Sonora, and I was just hunting with a cousin. If I didn't have that connection, I would probably get a group together and do one of the DIY hunts through Colburn & Scott. It's definitely an awesome time down there. One of the...
Ya, it's tough out here. I spent around $2500 on apps last year, and all I drew was a low tier antelope unit in WY. If you want premium elk and deer hunts, it's definitely a waiting game. For sheep, you're just hoping to get lucky before you die.
That's what people were saying 10 years ago. I'm not saying things aren't overpriced now, but with current inflation, I don't think anyone really knows for sure.
Some of the best elk/deer hunts here in az are 20+ years to draw. 10 years isn't that long to wait to start getting a tag every year. Not to mention the opportunity for some income return off the land, so if you've got the cash, and a LOT of people do right now, that's a huge incentive to buy.
I was blessed to have the opportunity to do two Mexico Coues Deer trips this year. After the success on the first trip, I was ready for a let down; however, the second trip was just as good--maybe even better. The 4 guys with me all tagged out on 4 very nice deer (two of them were 120 class...
Here's buck we were watching from about 1100 yards out while hunter was walking in. Don't remember exact magnification, but probably around 70X through my Swarovski STX spotter with 115MM objective. I think with tripod the whole setup weighs like 20 pounds lol, but when you want to see...
Thanks guys. I used a 300 Norma Mag that I built. Arrowhead Obsidian Action (by Kelbly). Bartlein Barrel. McMillan A3 Stock. TriggerTech 2-stage, Kahles K525i optic. And a prototype bipod from Rokstedi that should be on market any day now. 600 yards is a poke, but not nearly as hard...
