I would go with the 307 in .257 wby. As far as Shilen barrels for your savage action. They are great. I have changed a couple myself. No hard to do, and very accurate
168 LRX is what l use in 7mm Weatherby. Antelope, Deer, Elk. One elk was 487. One deer was 523. All pass through, excellent performance. Also elk as close as 80 yards, same performance.
I was so impressed by the 350 gr in 375. That l purchased some 120 for my .257 Weatherby. Impressed with them also, replacing the 100 TTSX with them for most of hunting here in the states
Sounds like you have a good load with the 160 TSX. If you ever want to try something different try the 168 LRX. Having really good results in a 7mm Wby
Amazing how fast things can change. I have had bears in camp before, one grizzly and several black bear. A Polar Bear would be new. When they’re not scared when seeing you or the gun shot. You did the right thing, it can get crazy really fast!! Or in this case crazier!!
Wow!!
Awesome hunt so...
Agree, l shoot sporting clays and trap, couple times a month. Upland birds with a pointing dog will keep you pretty sharp also. But at age 69 my reaction time is not what it once was.
I have called in a couple Bobcat in the last 3 years. Mountain Lion is still on the list. Not many in this area so it may take some time to do that. Where are you thinking for the Lynx?
l would contact some of the predator calling outfitters in Texas or Kansas for the Bobcat
Agree with that. It was at the Oklahoma Panhandle State shooting complex. Add in the wind and it was anything but your average coarse. Lots of room for long range shots which many courses just don’t have room for.
Had this happen to me yesterday. Went to a new coarse, thrower was roughly 35 yds to the left at about a 45 degree angle. Clay went high and fast to the right crossing at a 45 degree angle away. Clay was at 45 yards before l could get on it and fast. 4 tries and never touched it. Kept increasing...
I use Walker game ears all the time. The enhanced hearing helps to pick up the softest noise, but the loud canceling blocks out the report of the gun. Really like them hunting upland bird hunting. Can hear the dogs running in the grass when you can’t see them. Also when big game hunting, can...
I shot a sleeping Elephant! There must be a country song in there somewhere
Joking aside! Congratulations on a great hunt. Thanks for posting and taking us along
