Actually for the time period I used the highest BC bullet I could find, a Hornady 162 BTSP with a BC somewhere over .5 IIRC......so I was pretty much cutting edge for back in the day....

But that rifle had a Leupold Scope on it and windage adjustable mounts and only killed slightly more game than EHD and CWD, so I eventually got rid of the no-good POS grin
Did you kill any spikes with that rifle/scope combo?

So I've been puttin' a LOT of attention to this thread and takin' notes... Fingered I best apply same...

Best place to start was to get the shootin' part down so I had my good buddy "Ringman" load me up some match ammo and hit the range... Got my 100 yd zero locked down and decided to go ahead and collect some empirical data and get my dope out to distance... It was pure HELL but I looked at my notes and "Hard Charged" my way through it and got dope out to 2fiddy with the two baddest 308's on the planet... Left good ole Ringman a voice mail to load me up some more as that schidt was just amazing...

[Linked Image]

I decided I couldn't let poor ole dumb Elk be the only Hard Charger in the Boob & Nipple book so I set my sights on bagging me a trophy... After 3 or 8 stalks went to total schidt I figured these elusive beasts where more than a hand full... I decided to bait one in so I used what was left of my breakfast burrito and an old coat hanger to even the score... BOOM bitches I'm in... No fur damage and I'm leaning toward a full body mount...

[Linked Image]

On the drive home I checked my notes once again and new I couldn't let the two oldest fücks on the planet out do me so Bacon was on the menu and I knew just the place... I finally spied my prey and with a legendary stalk got to my FFP and let them piggies have it... 37 shots later with my ultimate match ammo I did myself proud... BLT's are on the fückin' menu fo' sure... Thought it woulda been more challenging but the way they lined up at the trough made it quite easy... The hardest part of the whole hunt was running from that crazed farmer and hurdling the fences and locked gates... Have no idea what his problem was...

[Linked Image]

Being this farmer was still hot on my trail I decided to do some "Tactical" driving and lose him... Once the coast was clear I pulled into the local Jap Dealer, dumped the Taco and gots me one of them Bad Ass High Speed Low Drag Soccer Mom Bitch Mobiles... He'll never catch me now... Got a smokin deal on it to boot... Low payments for 120 months @ 29.75% interest and got $129 trade in for the taco ... A few double shifts at the "Glory Hole" and it'll be paid off in no time...

Once back at the Love Shack I decided to try my hand at this camera stuff and show off the best bino's in the world ever... So I pulled out my high dollar Polaroid, set the SLR lens to Blurritude and let the shutter smoke... View it and weep bitches...

[Linked Image]

After a long rough day it was time for a break... Low and behold though, looking across the vast wilderness I spied a feral beast that needed to be put down... With light fading and knowing it was either the beast or me I once again called out on the baddest 308 on the planet with the Ringman match ammo and let one fly... Smoked it... DRT... not a damn step... I hate sharing my couch...

[Linked Image]

After settling in on my couch the ole lady tosses me a parcel that had come while I was out hard charging... To my surprise it was yet another custom knife... How can a guy be this lucky all in one day... I'm still in awe...

[Linked Image]

With all the days excitement and Balls to the wall hard charging it's time to sit back, put my feet up and have a toddy... I'll prepare for a romantic evening with the hottest bitch on the planet and I WILL knock the bottom out of it...

You dumbasses got Stick on the ropes... Be relentless and don't let up... Take no prisoners... I can tell he's startin' to crumble...

Not one Leupold was damaged, broken or found lackin' in the trackin' dept. during the making of this post... Simply because they seem to do that on their own without much help...

Elkhuntinguide great post, but where's the rusty maimed rifles tossed in the creek. And no snagging hooks (you know if the water is to deep after you fling the rifle).

"Hunts, estimated time of installation on trig and level system? Can the "Average" rifleman install and calibrate or should this be done by a "Competent" 'smith?

That's what I'm talking about. If the waters to deep (ankle height for us) you fling out the hook and retrieve the rusted maimed rifle. I understands Alaskan bush people use them to fish.

Is that rig used for paddlefish? The weight is on the end of the line yes? Will the weight break off if stuck? We use weighted trebles here to snag bunker for striped bass and bluefish bait.

Yeah, spoonbill/paddlefish. If hung its not the weight its the hook buried in a log. If that is the case go back up river and generally pull it loose. We only snag w the crrent to eliminate hang-ups.

I'm extremely gentle on my wares... A walnut/blue kinda gal... The horror of actually using a rifle in those extremes gets my blood pressure up...
