How does one go about doing a tx mule deer hunt without owning/leasing land

Mark 4hd failed(zero) 2 Vx3i’s failed(zero) Vx3hd failed(tracking) Vxr failed (zero) to put in comparison: Nightforce nx8: rides in the back seat of truck, drove 28 hours to a bear hunt and rode around in a side by side on horrible terrain. Never lost zero or tracked wrong Trijicon credo...

Not massive but a buck we were managing. 308 dropped him

Unfortunately I’ve had High end leupolds lose zero riding in a pelican hard case

If you want leupold I’d say go older, don’t over look the nightforce shv or Trijicon credo although they don’t offer that “classic look” they’re the only 2 brands I’ve had that didn’t need to be sent back to the factory due to failure to hold zero/tracking issues

Bump

It literally has just a hand full of rounds through it, I just had it re-barreled. Just have decided to go a different route

Rocco, Dutch shepherd I imported and trained for narcotics/apprehension back when I trained dogs for govt agencies. Sold his half brother to Oakland PD

Wanting to sell my 300 win mag built on a Christensen arms action. Gun was originally a 7mm rem mag that had been converted to a 300 win mag from Alamo precision rifles. Barrel is a CRB 1:10 m24 contour cut to 22” and threaded for 5/8. Barrel comes with a YHM brake but includes thread protector...

Still looking for recommendations with a decent turn around time

Take the $47 off my estimate and I’ll buy that nxs:ROFLMAO:

If you want to shoot a big bore long range 375 Chey tac

Sold Pending payment, will let you know if something changes

$100 for 338 federal $35 for 7mm-08 $50 for 7mm rem mag buffalo bore $40 for 7mm rem mag terminal ascent -$85 for both 7mm rem mag Prices do NOT include shipping

I was just kidding, however I am currently building a 20” m24 contour 300 win mag for hunting

The kahles appear to be more rhobust. However, I’m mainly talking about the k318i

If you’re going to spend swaro money, why not buy kahles?

I had a vx3 that couldn’t group or hold zero after the recoil from a 7mm rem mag. Used Leupold backcountry rings torqued to spec. swapped to badger ordnance rings, torqued to spec and couldn’t group or hold zero. Threw a Trijicon credo on, use it as a hiking stick and held zero shooting sub moa

28” m24 contour barrel, manners stock, nightforce ATACR, 1000 yards

Crispi, I personally have the Thor’s. Here’s the chart

I’ve got a 2023 wildtrak with 12k miles on it now, have driven from Texas 30 hours to up near Quebec for a hunt, have taken it off road and never a hiccup.

How durable/reliable has that mark 5 been?

I have built multiple rifles and am going to recommend you get away from the weatherby 307 if you want to customize it, they set that rifle up to be what people customize the rem 700 into. There are much much better actions on the market that have pre fit barrels widely available like bighorn...

How light is that tripod?

The last 4 leupold I’ve had needed to be sent back for repair due to not holding zero. Trijicon and nightforce are the only ones I’ll buy now, have dropped them, went down rugged terrain in a SxS and they’ve held zero, no issues tracking. Clarity is not on par with a Swarovski but I’ll sacrifice...

Anyone have a recommendation of an outfitter for free range pronghorn in Texas?

There is a 1925 rigby 375 for $7500 in the classifieds

338 RUM if you can handle it, otherwise 338 lapua, should get you out to 1000yds and have no problem putting down the biggest of brown bears.

Save your money and put it Towards the hunt, If you’re just going for PG, I’m sure whatever you use for North America will take care of most of it. If you’re dead set on a 375 I’d say go Winchester as it is proven and reliable. If you go cz you’re most likely going to have to send it off...

This is the most accurate representation I have found, it is an actual frozen bear half skinned with the vitals removed, I circled the heart and showed about where liver would be in yellow. With the head up, you can see middle of the middle is roughly just liver. Maybe you’d get lucky and knick...

I don’t shoulder shoot deer either even with a rifle, I always go right behind the shoulder, if you use that to your advantage then the vitals on the bear don’t look so far off. Middle of the middle can be 4-5 inch difference depending on where the bears head is. If the bears head is up middle...

I’ve killed quite a few bears and tracked more wounded for other people… I have seen people kill them with shoulder shots, that being said the “middle of the middle” shot placement is a terrible reference point as it changes depending on where the bears head is. Personally, I shoot middle of the...

I’m more interested in trades, would also be interested in a Winchester model 70 in 270 or 30-06

Looking to possibly trade+ $ a ‘73 JM stamped 30-30 for a browning high power safari in 30-06 or 270.

For tang safety long action

Went with nx8 and night force low rings, the bell is not touching the rail although it may look like it

I’d probably go trijicon or nightforce for dependability and low light performance

Your scope looks relatively low, what ring height are you running?

What rings/mount you using?

Their accupoint/power dialing scopes do not, I ended up selling it for this reason

I have not heard good things about leupold holding zero or tracking, all leupold I’ve had were on close range rifles. He’s this tracking issue not been your experience?

I mean i don’t think the trijicon have zero stop

I’ve had good luck with trijicon as well but they don’t zero lock their exposed turrets

Never lost zero on the leupold?

Vortex puts a bad taste in my mouth, also not trying to be over $1700

Out to 8-900yds? You got better eyes than me

I’d like to hear personal experiences and not just a company rep telling me his product is great

The biggest question is can leupold make a custom turret for the mark 5

7mm rem mag shooting 155gr TA with minimum impact velocity of 1400fps.
