Rebel is the best. Ordered some Friday and it shipped about 30 minutes later. Should show up this week

Either caliber will do what you’re wanting, but one will do it with a tad less recoil. You won’t notice the difference with an animal, but you will when you’re practicing. .308 should be a little easier on the shoulder (not that a 30-06 is horrible). Generally speaking, the .308 typically comes in a lighter and shorter rifle, which will make for a better experience carrying one for miles at a time while stalking elk through the back country. Maybe in the 60s you needed a 200gr bullet to reliably kill elk, but with today’s bullet technology that’s not necessary. Randy Newberg breaks it down for elk calibers in this video.

As far as stainless vs blue goes. That’s all personal preference. I own both and never had a problem with either. The deer haven’t been able to tell much of a difference. Good luck. Congrats on the new gun and hunting opportunity!

Nice truck baw

If it’s really 20% less vibration than the Triax that would be crazy. I’m not sure what 20% of nothing is, but I’m excited to find out

Interested to see how it shoots. As of right now I think I’m going to either keep my Elite Impulse or get the Ritual 30.

Grim reapers close after they’ve passed through something almost all the time. Once momentum of the arrow stops, it causes the blades to spring back to the closed position. They talk about it on their website and show it on their YouTube. Skip to the 1:10 mark.

Go watch any episode from seasons like 2-5 of pigman the series. All he shoots is reapers. It’s where his term “high velocity splatter” came from lol....they are tough as nails

You’re probably just smarter.

Last weekend of gun season

I shot the Elite Ritual 30 the day they announced it. Unless the new Mathews Vertix feels better, I’ll probably pick up the Elite for next year.
