I was really afraid to open this thread with that title......

I like Bartlein barrels. But....I recently won a Rock Creek barrel, so I ordered a .308" 5R Remington Sendero contour at 29" with helical fluting. I can't wait for it to arrive. I think any of the well known barrel makers are producing quality, accurate barrels nowadays. Bartlein, Brux, Rock Creek, Kreiger, are all excellent choices. I have heard that fluting can "pinch" the bore if done incorrectly. It also depends on contour and bore size. I would not flute a #3 sporter in a .308" cartridge. But with a heavier contour, I don't think it is a huge issue. There are plenty of extremely accurate fluted barrel rifles.

In 2002, I had a Jr. hunt with my older daughter too. 1000 tags, and as long as you get away from the roads like you should be, no issues. I actually saw very few hunters away from the roads. It was really nice, and the does were everywhere.

Here is a photo of my last AZ antelope and tag.

Load the 210s for plinking..... Get some 230 or 240s for long range lead flinging. Not that the 210s won't whoop some butt at 1500 yards.....

No 230 Berger? 215 Hybrid? 240 SMK?

My mouth started watering....

Smoking deal. I have thought of building a similar setup. The tent box alone is $4K. Add the trailer it sits on and you are taking a serious haircut. Bump for an amazing deal. Wish I had the cash for it.

My wife and I were talking about this event about a month ago. I hope to make it this year.

He will be an opening morning first legal light early archery/rifle/muzzy shooter.

If she was "mother of the year" this kid wouldn't be running around on the street wearing a ski mask and setting cars on fire. He would be at home doing his homework. Just because she beats her kid's butt when he gets caught doing something wrong doesn't mean she knows anything about raising a child the right way. But just because you raise your child right doesnt mean they wont do stupid things. Notice he wasnt aggresive towards mom, kept his head down and took the whooping, he knew the routine. I have known parents that raised several kids and some just dont straighten out. The kid might have been protesting, but he was NOT burning cars. Not saying he would or would not have, but Mom nipped that in the bud. Good parents have kids that do stupid things, even if they are 99% good kids. I know my Mom and Dad would kick my butt NOW if they knew some of the stuff I did as a teenager.

Definitely a good guy and good father. Happy birthday, glad to say I have met you.

If you have a "rifle" elk hunt, that is a general hunt. You can legally take and use your bow. Sounds like a great opportunity to me. I agree with the above post on hunting rabbits with your bow. Great practice during the off season, and really fun to boot. Makes hitting an elk at 50 yards seem easy if you can hit a rabbit at 30.

I think the TAXIDERMIST had it for 2 years, not SCI. But I could be wrong.

Oh, I see you are married.....

What is wrong with that in the baby's room? Just a big stuffed animal.

I have to disagree. I bet she whooped his butt often. Just a young and dumb kid. And she showed him, again, not to go against her word. I applaud her! You should have seen his shame in the interview. The embarrassment is going to be far more effective than a slap in the head.

I live about 4 miles away, and pass it everyday. So yeah, almost.

Haha how so? Because, with 23 bonus points, I did NOT draw a tag again. Good luck with your hunt. I really hope you tag him this year.

You are killing me.....

Bruno's did not have any when I was in there on Monday, neither did Sportsman's in Phx. There was a post on here about H1000 at an online source, and when I looked at it on Monday, they had Retumbo in stock.

Love the GSPs.

Welcome to the club. This is a great place to learn about almost every aspect of hunting. I do not have any hunts planned at the moment, but just getting out and shooting would be a big benefit.
