All of the things people are posting to do to the dog, try with the owner first. I bet it will go a long way in getting him to be responsible. 1. Spray with water. 2. Paintball gun/slingshot. 3. Electric stimuli. 4. Baseball bat. 5. Well, you get the picture.

I have a matching set, left and right hand.

After that all dried, I hit it with four coats of flat clear, and let it dry. Did my final assembly on Monday, and was extremely happy with the results.

Well, I got my real stock finished up this weekend. I am pleased with the final results. Here was the practice stock laid on top of the action to see what it might look like. I liked it, so went with the scheme, but decided to go wider with the stripes on the real stock. First stage was go over the Coyote Tan with some Dark Khaki and a couple of the darker greens. After letting it dry for a couple days, I masked off the stripes, and hit it in a similar pattern with a light khaki/sand and a Sage green, then stripped off the stencils and hit a few shadows of olive on the stripes. Let that all dry for a couple days, then taped off the stars and the edge of the dark background using dark olive with a few light sage highlights.

Would the two I have left go faster if I stripped the paint off? I figured for less than half price for the Vortex Diamondback, it would have been the first to go.

Yep. Seen plenty of those guys.

Bump.

Sold.

Usually SA Rem 700 magazine box is around 2.900". Your COAL should still fit the mag and remain .030" off the lands if you measured correctly. Book show SAAMI lengths, what manufacturers use to fit in all types of stock firearms. If your guns likes longer than SAAMI, then go with it.

I had one just like it. Amazing scope, and this is about $300-400 off. Great price.

So, you can do that with any scope then right?? For some reason, I thought that you needed a fancy shmancy scope to be able to do that, haha. Sort of. The inexpensive scopes, Leupold included, have a smooth dial system, not clicks. Plus, you need a coin or screwdriver to adjust. This makes it very problematic. Also, cheap scopes are not "repeatable". Meaning they do not return to zero perfectly every time you dial up or down. This is a bad thing. You might as well just hold over or under, because after the first time you dial in and try to go back to zero, you will be off.

My comments were not aimed at anyone in particular, so I am sorry if you took it personally.

You need to shoot, shoot, shoot at long range to learn your drops at distances. You record how many clicks, or MOA, you dial into your elevation turret. That would be "dialing to 600". I have "dialed" out past 1500 while shooting.

Muley. But without a reference to size, that one is a little trickier.

Let me clarify just a bit. Say your boss gives everyone in the entire company a 10 minute assignment in December, and everyone who finished it would be put in a drawing for $1000. He says I need it completed before I leave the office on February 10th, and if you do not complete it before I leave on Feb. 10th, you are fired. Then, on February 10th, he leaves an hour early, just as you start the assignment you had months to prepare. Now, you no longer have a job when you come into work on January 11th because you did not complete a task that was given to you months before with one specific request. Is it fair to whine and bitch and throw a temper tantrum when all of the other employees completed their task and turned it in before the boss departed for the day, meeting the deadline, most of them not waiting until the last minute? Is it fair if you, just you, get an extension on the deadline because YOU waited until the last minute? It sure is not fair to the other people who did complete the task on time and are now entered into the drawing. People need to be responsible for their own procrastination. If it bites you in the butt, I bet you don't do it again...

So you don't want anyone to infringe on your percentage chance of getting a tag. And are willing to screw someone that really did nothing wrong, out of their opportunity to draw one. And fish and game wants all the thirteen dollars they can get. Seems like two of the same to me. It appears birds of a feather do flock together. Take care, Willie Apparently you have never read the websites disclaimer on the front page. They extend the draw to not piss people off and make more money. The Department makes no representation or warranties in relation to this website, the operation of the web-based application process or the information or materials provided on the website. By using this website and the web-based application process, you assume all risks associated with the use of the website, and the Department disclaims any liability for damages resulting from use or misuse of the website, including failure to complete or transmit an application prior to the deadline date or any errors in the application or transmission. This disclaimer means the deadline date should be 100% a hard deadline. You have plenty of time to get your online app done or take it to G&F directly. I make sure to give myself at least 1 full day incase there is an online issue so I have time to take the app to g&f in person if I need too. It's not my fault you waited to long and can't read the rules. If you read the rules and still gambled on the worst odds on how to submit your app and lost why is that everyone else's problem? Let's stop changing rules to make everything "fair". Life isn't fair.

That....was....awesome. Thanks for the musical interlude.

This is my opinion. and yours may vary. If my boss asked for something by close of business, I sure as heck would not wait until 4:59 to turn it in. If I tell a person to meet me on a site at 6:00AM, they better not be late. If one of my customers wants to meet at 7:00, I am there by 6:30 at least, and I allow a lot of time for unforeseen issues that often arise. "Why does poor planning on your part constitute an emergency on mine?" should be G&F's response. There is absolutely no reason to wait until the last hour to put in for a draw. If you miss out, you should not go hunting. Someone stated that people are used to mediocrity. That is their fault. G&F should honor the hard deadline set forth in writing, which is a reward to those who get their application in on time, and a penalty to those who don't.

Muley for sure.

Nice!

Hmmm......me too.....

Here are a few photos of the two remaining scopes. The 3-9x40 Vortex Diamondback and the 3-12x42 Nikon M223. These were not safe queens. They were used for hunting, but work perfectly. Glass is scratch free, and mechanically perfect. 3-9x40 Vortex Diamondback 3-12x42 Nikon M223

You too. Here are some photos of your new scope to drool over....
