Understatement!! My dad and grandpa each had one. I'd give anything to have either of them. Not sure whatever happened to them.

I saw about 5 great bucks taken in Oct/Nov2022 before my December hunt in 2022 and there were no big bucks to find (at least where I was) by the time we went out right before Christmas that year. As much as I love 35A, I don't think I can go back there anytime soon.

Take this for what its worth, but I had the late Dec 35A tag in 2022. My good friend is the retired WM for 35A. I had limited time to hunt, but made it work. We saw one smallish buck the whole time and my friend was telling me 35A was declining in quality. That was back in 2022 and I haven't hunted 35A since (and I LOVE 35A). I started hitting 34A, based on my friend's recommendation. I wish I had enough points to get a late Dec 34A tag.

That's a great question. Depends on new vs used. Was hoping to stay under $400 for initial set up, knowing dies and plates are going to run me up on $$ down the road, but that all depends on what deals I can find. East side of Flagstaff? I'd like to check it out if you have time. Possibly this weekend.

Anyone?

Heading to Tucson tomorrow and driving back to Flagstaff Saturday afternoon. Can bring this with me.

I can't believe that's been up here for sale for almost a year. I have this exact pistol and absolutely love it. Good luck with your sale!

Back to two spots available. Keep in mind, its a full classroom class.

Just had two cancellations, so now three spots open in the class.

My wife recently got a new pistol and that's got me back to shooting pistols more. That, and my son loves burning through 9mm with his Sig. That has me thinking about getting a turret press to accompany my current RCBS RCII single stage. I've been doing as much reasearch as I can, and it looks like a turret press is right for me, as opposed to a progressive press set up. I'm not burning through 500 rounds/weekend, which is what I'm reading a progressive press is great for. A turret press seems to be the right choice for our level of shooting, along with being more affordable; therefore, being easier to justify with my wife. I know a turret press can do everything my Rock Chucker can do, but I'm not really interested in getting rid of it. I just love the single stage process for my hunting rifles. I have a friend who uses his single stage press for his pistols, but I don't have that kind of patience. The turret press would be used for 9mm, 45acp, 40SW, 30 Super Carry, 357/38, and our ARs. I know what I'm getting into with the cost of the plates and dies for all of these, but I also have pro deals for some of this, making that part of the cost sting less. My digging into reviews suggests the Lee Classic Press is a good one for the money, as is The RCBS (mid-range price/value). The Reddingt T-7 has amazing reviews, but is more than I want to spend. So what am I missing in my thought process? What is a solid turret press I can get without breaking the bank? Anyone have a solid turret press they are looking to unload?

Out of curiosity, why the vintage stuff to start them off with? If they are all about the nostalgia (don't blame them), that's great, but there are so many modern rods/reels out there that won't break the bank (TFO, Reddington, Orvis Clearwater, Moonshine, etc.). I absolutely love my Moonshine Rods Drifter II 5wt. $200 rod I'd put up against the top end models any day. NM_Norteno, fly fishing the Santa Fe area is on my bucket list, so you never know when I'll be stopping by!

My thoughts exactly. I know you can run SNs on Winchester's website to get a manufacturing year, and I've called Remington and Browning customer service to get info on older shotguns I have. I would think Marlin would be able to get you everything you need to know about that rifle.
