I'm going 100% sneaky this year.
Plan A: Knock over a bull in a few weeks using my Mission MXB-360 as seen below. Crossbow 100gr Slick Tricks on top of custom 23.5" Spynal Tapps, ~430gr all up @ ~340 fps.
Max range: 60yds
Plan B: If that doesn't work, break out the rifles, newly chopped and muffled this year for Elk, Muleys and Antelope.
First up
Browning X-Bolt .30-06 18.5"
Nikon Monarch 5 2-10x42 ED BDC (not in the pic)
180gr Accubonds @ 2,690 fps
Max comfortable range with low wind and a stable position: 400 yds.
Kimber Montana 6.5 Creed 20"
Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36 B&C
140gr Accubonds @ 2,735 fps
127gr LRXs @ 2,840 fps
(POI on both loads happens to be such, relative to each other, that the reticle is spot on out to 400yds without adjustment for both)
I'll probably use the Accubonds primarily for Elk and Mule deer, but may try the LRX out on Antelope.
Max comfortable range with low wind and a stable position: 400 yds (maybe a bit less on elk).
Tikka CTR .308 20"
SWFA SS 3-9x40 mil/mil
178gr ELDXs @ 2,610
Max comfortable range on Muleys with low wind and a bipod: ~500 yds .
Normally I wouldn't want to lug the Tikka around the countryside during hunting season, but I have a private land tag for Mule deer and my friend/coworker is going to let me hunt his property. There probably won't be too awful much walking and there is a promising overlook where the Tikka's excellent accuracy might outweigh it's ... Weight.
