Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting What is your rifle of choice this season

??? He doesn't strike me as having a big ego. Maybe he just likes to the .375.

I plan on carrying my fly rod this elk season. Yes - blanked again!

Where will you be fly fishing? I might be there also unless NM comes through.

He is a clown! He never shoots! Bet it's been yearS since he fired a round through his "elk gun"!

(Sorry for the over use of the !!!, just following in the clown's footsteps)

I sure would like to see any post mortem pics you have of the entrance/exits, or any feedback on where the bullets hit and what they did.

You are just a pathetic nasty person aren't you Nuevo?

No, I'm honest.

HJ, you are a fricking jerk and a troll. You offer nothing but smart ass remarks. You probably haven't hunted anything but attention all your miserable worthless life. You remind me of a little man with a big mouth.

Holy s hit, Columbo figured it out lol. Duh. Still doesn't change how stupid memtb!!! is...or you.

I hunt as much as I can, maybe not as much as buzz, but I only accrue 15hrs of vacation a month for now so I can only spend about 4 weeks a yr plus weekends/holidays hunting. Maybe when I'm old as f uck with no job I'll be able to bump those numbers.

I should have enough points to be archery hunting elk in one of Oregon’s big three elk units - so Hoyt Ultratec bow. Probably shoot a blacktail with one of my Kimber sa 84m’s.

A combination that just plain works, my .300 Weatherby Vanguard with 180 gr Barnes TTSX bullets.

Elk are more of a bucket list item than a "run up a string of victories" item. I've already killed elk with a centerfire rifle. Check. So .. handgun next? If so, probably Ruger Bisley .454.

No sir, it’s the only hunting rifle that use. I built it many years ago thinking that Africa and Alaska was in my future…..it wasn’t.

It’s worked quite well for many years, from the occasional coyote to moose. I simply believe in firearm familiarity…..thinking that I will/should be more proficient with it. Hopefully continued use will help justify it’s expense, plus I like it! 😉 memtb

Thanks WHC. I appreciate it 👍, but I try to ignore him. Much like picking a festering sore…..it only gets worse! memtb

memtb, I understsand. He does nothing for the site, all his remarks are negative. I doubt he has ever hunted anything except attention.. A real dipshit.

Aren’t we supposed to exhibit empathy for the mentally ill! 🤪 memtb

Thats!! Really!!! Rich!!! Coming from you, clown.

How many rounds have you shot out of that 375ai in the past year?

Probably go with my new to me Rem 700 in 270win. I have never owned one before and want to get something with it. Of course my Rem 600 in 338Fed gets used every year. If the weather is nice, I may take my late father's Sav 99 in 303 Sav too. My annual trip to PA will be in archery season this year so my Mathews V3X will be with me at that time.

memtb, poor dipshit, he doesn't even make a good troll. His home area is a big town in old Mexico. He probably thinks a couple clips from his ak47 is how everyone hunts..
Just so he understands, the three rifles I used this fall, I bought in the 90's.. At that time I worked up handloads for all three. This fall in each one I fire one or two shots to verify the point of impact was correct. After that my antelope was one shot 300yards. My deer one shot 200 yards. My elk one shot 426 yards. When you are a skilled shooter you don't have to blast dozens of rounds before a hunt, just check the point of aim and your drop tables, and your set. Of course in the off season I shoot several thousand rounds throught various rifles because I enjoy shooting.. He doesn't understand that there were hunters who never fired their rifle from one season to another. They got their deer every year because they were good woodsmen and good shots. Anybody but in beginning troll would understand that!!

WCH, Well said sir!

I’m not certain what caused his/her/it’s extreme displeasure with me…..I guess that it’s a cross I must bear! 😁

My hunting rifle procedure is similar to yours……though I may shoot it a bit more than you do with yours. However, your annual shooting quantity far exceeds mine! I really need to shoot more, but simply don’t…..and of late, I’m really cheep, hating to burn components at their replacement costs. And then, hoping they can be replaced.

By the way…..my rifle too was received in ‘90. It cost a bit more than I could really afford at the time, but is pretty close to what I wanted for my rifle/cartridge that might hunt any big game animal across the planet.

I do, as Barnes improves/modifies it’s bullets for my rifle, try to develop a load for the new improved bullets. I was several years late with these new LRX’s as after begging Barnes and waiting several years for the LRX (or similar) to be offered, I gave up and bought a bunch of a bullet that I really didn’t want. Then…….they bring out the bullet that I wanted! 🤬

Those bullets served me well, but for Christmas of ‘22 my wife bought me a bunch of the LRX’s. I developed a load this past August, but didn’t get to try one on game this past fall! ☹️

I’ll continue to attempt to ignore him, hopefully he can find a hobby to occupy his time! memtb
