Fascinating. I did not know that.

I guess this is a weapon because you sure ain't pealing taters with it, just save it for stabbing.
Awful lot of time and craftsmanship to create this beauty.

That ain't no pig-sticker.

I customized a Remington 700 in 300 WSM. I already had a muzzle brake on it and then I swapped the stock for a Magpul 700 Hunter. I added a Larue Tactical picatinny rail, Warne quick detach rings and a Nikon Monarch 5 2-10x42 Ed BDC scope. I've been pleased. Here are some pics - note, the photos were taken over about a 4 month period.

Flat bolt handles feel weird. Never could get used to 'em.

Good to see/hear from you again, Sarge!

It has really worked out well for me. Free floated my barrel and got close to a 1/2 inch tighter groups. The stock is adjustable for length of pull and comb height, also. BTW, I took 2 elk with it. Have lots of photos, but I don't think the people on here like that kind. I used 180 gr Nosler Partitions on the elk and they would exit even on a quartering shot. Wicked

Nothing wrong with hunting them as long as you(or friends) eat them.

What Bruce said. Pictures please.

Gravdigr · 01-04-2019, 01:12 PM

Elk is really good. Dry. But very good.

Big Sarge · 01-04-2019, 06:31 PM

Here's a photo of me with my first elk and a pic of the exit wound of the Nosler Partition, followed by a pic of it quartered to give you an idea of how much meat we get.

Big Sarge · 01-04-2019, 06:47 PM

I was hunting on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. The lodge is at 8,000 feet and we would go up to 11,000 at times to hunt. Hunting is done safari style - drive to high points, glass for elk, and then do a stalk. Pics of terrain and second elk in the truck to give an idea of the size. BTW, because I didn't get a bull, they let me take 2 cows. I highly recommend hunting the reservations because they set their own seasons, you don't have to deal with the state draw, and they manage for quality/size.

Another photo showing how the Noslers destroyed the lungs. I'm really impressed with their performance, but they aren't as accurate as Powershok or Fusions

What happened to the meat?

Took it to a processor in Pagosa Springs to be deboned and processed. All meat from any member of the cervid family has to be deboned before it can be taken home to Mississippi because of CWD. I packed it in Coleman Xtreme 5 coolers with dry ice on top - still frozen hard 3 days later when I got home.

We use venison in place of beef for almost everything. Saves on money and it is good for my cholesterol. I have my fingers crossed for free range oryx or nilgai this year to add some antelope.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-04-2019, 11:38 PM

Lot of good eating there.
My uncle had a fishing boat in Alaska. The day before he came back to MA for Christmas he took a fresh caught gutted Halibut off the dock, packed it with dry ice in a plywood box on his roof rack, and it was still frozen solid when he got home 6 days later. Dry ice makes it safe to transport meat/fish anywhere.
