Anybody have luck in flat tops wilderness for 2nd rifle elk?

This is the area I’m looking at trying this month for my first ever elk hunt. I’ve read it can be crowded so is there any surrounding areas maybe close to but outside the wilderness area that it worth looking at as well?

Looking for suggestions as a first time elk hunter in Colorado

I highlighted two general areas where I planned on looking for a unit to try for 2nd rifle season. I’ve read a lot of forums on what are some crowded units to avoid and some decent units to try. I’m not looking for anybody’s secret honey holes or anything because I know how it is. Just some guidance on which of these two circles to look at or some guidance on specific units to try where there is a good number of elk but also not super overcrowded with other people. Any help is appreciated

Hard time finding last piece to complete interior

This is a long shot but I’ve searched the internet with no luck. I just need a passenger side seat belt assembly cover for my hard top 78. If anybody knows where to look or has one laying around I’d love to know.

Single vs double pumper Holley for 78 trans am?

Looking at Holley carbs for my 6.6L bored .30 over with a mild cam. I’m torn between mechanical vs vacuum secondaries and I keep reading conflicting opinions. It would just be for street riding, no races or anything crazy.

Yugo surplus ammo accuracy (lack of) out of kar98k

Has anybody had better experience shooting 50s yugo surplus 8mm? I’m having trouble even keeping rounds on paper at 100 yards. As you can see, a 3 round group measured 8 inches with the other two off paper somewhere. I’m curious if it’s the ammo or just the rifle at this point. I plan on ordering some new production ammo to test as well.

Question regarding carburetor adjustment

I have a quadrajet in 78. I am using my vacuum gauge to try and fine tune my carb as it seems to be running rich. I’m trying to get in the 15-20 in range but can’t seem to get higher than 13 on my gauge. Most places I’ve read have said that 3 ish turns out on the fuel mixture screws should be around the sweet spot. The highest reading on my gauge is basically both mixture screws all the way closed to where they won’t move anymore. It seems to idle and drive fine in this setting as well. I’m confused as to why it would be giving the best reading with both screws closed off like this instead of 3 ish turns out like I was expecting. Any advice is appreciated.

The kar98k sniper we have at home feat. Bad Ace Tactical

Don’t worry, no bubba job here. Wanted to see what this rifle could do with a scope instead of the subpar iron sights limiting me. I was having trouble getting a decent grouping with 1956 yugo surplus ammo but I did manage to hit my 10” gong at 300 yards a few times. Hoping I can buy some new ammo and tighten my groups up a bit.

Where do I attach vacuum gauge on quadrajet carburetor?

1978 Pontiac trans am 400 auto
I’m trying to tune my carb with my vac gauge which is a first for me. I’ve looked at a hundred pictures by now to try and find out what is what but I’m still not sure where to attach. I tried to attach to the port just above the GM on my engine block which seems to be the recommended port, but it is too big for my hose to fit over. Any help is appreciated.

Went to 500 yards and practiced quick re-engagement with the budget mk12 wannabe build. I like to try and get at least two if not three shots off before I hear the first hit on steel. Overall I’m impressed at how tight to center chest I could be with cheap AAC 77gr and shooting as fast as I was with this wind.
