CVA EILTE STALKER 35 WHELEN

November 02, 2012 at 11:00am

I JUST BOUGHT THE CVA ELITE STALKER IN THE .35 WHELEN. THIS GUN WILL NOT GROUP THE HORNADY 200 GRAIN SUPERFORMANCE ROUNDS AT ALL. I HAVE SECURED ALL SCREWS FOR BASES AND SCOPE MOUNTS WITH LOCKTITE AND STILL THE GUN WILL NOT GROUP THE HORNADY ROUNDS. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS GUN, ANY SUGGESTIONS ON…

is ur scope a buckmaster pro-staff? I had same problem with a 444 and come to find out the prostaff is a 2 piece design scope and it couldnt handle recoil. I changed to a buckmaster scope and problem solved, never changed bullets. I also shoot hornady

I own many glocks. One day they might save my or my family’s life. I’d rather a reliable firearm and they,my friend,are reliable.

Do you agree?

Lhernandez

No I do not agree I don’t think anyone should be able to own any gun that holds 30 are more bullets and for self defense I would say shotgun with buckshot. I’m not against that kind of gun I’m against that many bullets

Mega Spike

LETUMGROW

August 24, 2021 at 3:34pm

This buck has been around my place for over 4 years now. He is summering then leaves around early October never to be seen again till the following year. He is 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 years old and nothing more the a big cow horn spike! I sure hate that he is out there breeding Does! Hope you enjoy the pics

Letumgrow, that’s a big old spike. Definitely needs to be culled. Surprised he hasn’t been seen during hunting dates, disappearing once season starts? Hope you take him out this season!

Yeah they are a monster for shooting rabbits, coons, and squirrells. It is illegal to hunt deer with a rimfire rifle.

My name is Adam and I'm tired of borrowing rifles for deer season. I am considering the 35 Whelen cartridge but would like a few opinions on the make/model to go with. I'm leaning toward the CVA apex but what do yall think? I plan on hunting this rifle all season not just for primitive. Shots…

Rice Bran Feeder

Brad84

October 17, 2011 at 11:47am

Been looking for a feeder for rice bran. the only one I found is sold at cabelas. It is called the powder keg feeder. Does anyone have this feeder or know anyone one that has used this feeder. If so does it work? Thanks

View 23 previous comment(s)

The problem with rice bran feeders is ANY moisture will cause the feed to cake up, thus causing the feed to clog up. We had a guy buy one of those feeders with the auger type spinner. This didn't work because of the moisture that clogged up the feeder opening.

35 Whelen VS 45-70 on Encore Prohunter

fishinfool17

January 13, 2009 at 10:03am

Can anyone tell me the pro's-cons of a 35 Whelen vs a 45-70 on an Encore-they are legal in MS during muzzle loader season, and was wondering which is better all around. Distance, knock down, accuracy, bullet drop, etc. Any experience is welcome.

No experience with an Encore, 35 Whelen or 45-70, but I can vouch for the Knight KP1 in 444. Half inch group at 100 yards. Deadly on deer. Guess that didn't help much did it.

Fog Deer

Thursday morning this buck showed up right out of the fog. Unreal experience when all you can see is 80 yards and a big deer appears out of thick fog. The old 280AI was accurate and the 202 pounder is being turned into sausage! Another great hunt at Liberty Trace Ranch in Amite Co, MS!
