Hi Chris, I sent you a PM. If you replied, I didn’t get it.

Yea, I ordered it but the dealer was told 12 weeks out. As long as it comes by June I should have plenty of time to get a bunch of shooting in. I've always liked Elites, but for whatever reason I just never ended up with one.

Kinda cool that they’re in NY too. Keep us updated!

That’s going to be a sweet setup! I’m now an Elite shooter as well. I bought a Remedy last summer and liked it so much I bought another one as a backup.
That stinks you have to wait til June, but it’ll still be plenty of time to get it dialed before you’re in a tree with it.

I’ve had a Sot and Climb Wide for years. Got a Hazmore net seat on it. It’s a great option when you know you’ve got straight trees to work with. That said, I have been using a saddle lately and don’t think I’ll be using the climber much. I’ve also got couple stick and hang on setups. Those are getting even less use.

Just here to say I dig that Hornady stool! I want one, but they’re pricey!

Thanks for checking Lawd.
Al, I believe you are right. I just got some new .284 brass from a guy on GB. Unfortunately, the .257 stuff is even more pricey.
The thing that gets me most is that many years back, I sold an Encore pistol barrel in .257 and sent along the (then easy to find) brass with it.

You can get 6mm Remington brass at gaff & son's. If you go this route you will have to fire form them after seizing. This may be easier than finding 257 brass. It's a little work but it's not hard to do.
Thanks for this info. I actually looked for 7x57 brass (half heartedly) and didn’t find any. I’d probably spend the crazy amount for new Nosler .257 Bob brass before going the 6mm route.

I’m looking for some .257 Roberts brass. I’ve got brass to trade or will purchase. Might have other items of interest to trade as well. Thanks.

Brownell’s and Natchez as well. All of them have been sporadically offering free hazmat. I was looking at load data today on the Hodgdon Powder sight and see you can even order powder right from them now.

This is the time of year I start doing deep cleaning and any seasonal maintenance on my firearms, also gives me a chance to play around with and inspect them. Did all of my lever action rifles this week, the lever rifles are some of my favorites and I have done quite a bit of hunting with them with good success. Had a friend of mine here while I was playing with the lever rifles and he asked me which one was my favorite, it is a very hard choice but if I had to pick one it would be the 99 Savage, it is a timeless proven design, What puts it over the top is it offers cartridges that have a bit more range in open country which gives it a bit more versatility, it is a rifle in my opinion that should still be in production today.
Marlin 45-70 model 95
Marling 44 mag model 94
Marlin 357 mag model 94
Winchester 284 model 88
Savage 250-3000 model 99A
Marlin Levermatic 256 Winchester mag

Al, how does that Winchester .284 shoot? That’s a fine collection you have. I just got my first .284, and am anxious to work up some loads for it.
I really like BLR’s as well. I’d love to add more of those to the stable in unique calibers.

Al is right, those older Leupolds are going for a lot of money right now.
Wolc, I’d strongly recommend a Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-4x20. American made and priced very competitively.
Throw a set of Talley extra low mounts on top and you’ll be good to go.
If you’re worried about weather, put on some flip up Butler Creek covers.

.25-06 is a nice round. Like Lawd asked…what gun? In many bolt guns, I really prefer a short action. Some, (Tikka is one that comes to mind) do not use a different length action for your typical short and long actions. So, in short, if it’s a Tikka, .25-06 is a no brainer over a short action quarter bore or something close to it. Just my $.02

Good luck to all you southern tier hunters, I was a chopping at the bit opening day mad dog for many years before I moved to the Northern zone where I do all of my Deer hunting these days. Should have some snow on the ground which can be a serious difference maker if you know how to use it.
Al
This resonates with me. I’m in Northern Zone, but barely. I really wish they restructure our season here. A 2 week archery season and 6 week rifle season results in a lot of 1.5 year old bucks being killed. I get it up north, but not where I am.

No, I’m not, and for some reason that seems to be a thing here for me. I’ll pm you my email and cell so we can connect. Thanks.

Success! From my angle, the shot went in low and out high.
Congrats Dino! Very cool!

I shot my heaviest buck to date with a Browning Mountain Ti in 300WSM with a hand loaded 150grain Nosler Ballistic Tip over a healthy dose of H4350 at about 7-10 yards. The bullett put a huge hole on the entrance side, but really lacked penetration. Luckily, a great dog and tracker helped me find it. I almost never hunt that rifle now, but if I do, it’s with a 165 Accubond. I use the same in .308. My point, as others have said, is to use the right bullet. Those Ballistic Tips were way over the recommended max of 3000 fps impact velocity out of that rifle. At 200 yards, it would’ve been a very different outcome. At that close distance with that velocity, that bullet “blew up.”

PM sent yesterday afternoon. Thanks.

I bought this a few years back on Amazon. I've never had any issues with it when I use it with my climber. It's generic, but it works. I just checked and for roughly $20 you could have one before the weekend.
Looks good, thanks!

I have used old metal curtain rod hooks along with 1-inch black strapping wrapped around tree and buckle for hanging gear. I dipped the hooks in black rubber dip to eliminate reflection. slip hooks into strap and away you go...
Cool idea!

Yeah, I've got a request in to my "guy" for one. I imagine it will happen eventually.
I hope it does, and that you enjoy it!

7.4 lbs! Dang! They are cool though. I’ve got a Henry 45-70 with a Leupold vx3 1.5-5x20 that I might bring out a couple times just for fun this year. I’m not sure what it weighs, but it doesn’t feel heavy. Being short (the gun) helps that I think.

One with tons of good cover behind it to keep me from being skylighted. I do not love pine trees. Actually, I do not love pine pitch.

Thirdhand Archery makes a good one and he will ship it in minutes

That looks good for everything except the bow. The hooks look like they wouldn’t work for a bow. Am I missing something? Appreciate the idea!
