Big or Bust

For sale I have the following. I am located in Tucson and can work with you to do a FTF if necessary. If FTF, knock off $10 from the prices below. 1) Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 - duplex, matte, M1 elevation turret. Tracks well for me. Glass is nice, few small scuffs/tics in scope body. Overall, scope is in great shape. $250/shipped. 2) SWFA SS 12x42 - matte, mildot, mil. Great shape. Bought used and never mounted. $250/shipped. 3) Minox 6.5x32 IF binoculars - Hard to find nowadays. Really super scanners with incredibly clear glass. Used but not abused. Glass is in good shape, a few minor bumps on body. Two small white tics on focus knobs to mark the sweet viewing spot. Will come ready to attach to a bin strap. $250/shipped. First I'll take it via PM or on this thread via timestamp wins. MO or personal check okay.

Leupold sold -

Speed kills and BC matters is what you are saying. I agree. Placement comes first though.

Easily. Placing the shot is everything. Energy is a myth. 80 or 100 grain it matters not. Shoot the bullet that is the most accurate.

That's a big fat boy there.....

I hunt alone most of the time, especially if its my tag. Maybe with a buddy. I have a hard time finding folks who want hunt how I hunt -

Easiest place to build a fence to separate grazing pastures likely. There are fences all over the place.

For me in 6.5, something with 50-60 grains of capacity shooting a 140 at 3K is about perfect for a hunting cartridge - If I need more, I'll step up to a large capacity 7... I'll pass on the 26 Nosler -

Location?

Make sure you get a plain 1/4 MOA turret so you can use it for any load you ever want to shoot - Don't limit yourself to one load...

Compare like bullets for like bullets my man -

Bullets man. It trumps anything in .277" simply because of the bullets. It smokes anything in .277"...

Google it. Data out there now. Been around a year or more.

Three pts. Range?

I don't either. That's the range though that you can finally tell how good of a load you really have...grin... It's a blast to ring gongs way out there with rifles that weigh less than 7 pounds all up. It's nice to carry these same rifles way up and over the mountain too -

Best tent there is.

We are talking shooting competitions here? If so, sure the heavier contour rifles have inherent benefits. It irks me that hunters think they have to carry 12 pound rifles to shoot 500 yards - Light done right is a very good thing -

Dont believe the myth that light rifles will not shoot. And if you hunt hard, weight matters. What are all your categories that heavy rifles win in?

Light is bad?

I'd put a camera up to make sure but it is too wet right now. Deer are scattered in southern Arizona. Many small tinajas and puddles all over the place. Many waters I keep track of will not be used until October/November or as soon at the monsoon tinajas and puddles dry up.

What bullet are you planning on running and throating for?

Pm sent.

Yes, sufficient for those ranges. Practice, practice. Shot placement. That's it.

I will take the moa one. Please send PM. Thanks.

Big game. Check distance to lands.
