I ordered a Manners EH1 stock inletted for a Tikka T3 long action and after 6 months of waiting its finally done but with hunting season over now Im thinking Id really prefer to wait for my tried and true McMillan A3 with molded in camo. If anyone would be interested in this stock let me know. The stock is black, has a recoil lug bedded in for the Tikka, 2 flush cups on the left side and an Atlas rail mounted on the front price is $650. Stock is complete but hasnt shipped yet (because I havent paid for it) so I dont have actual pictures but stole a general pic from the internet.

Nice looking stock! Im not gonna leave Manners hanging on a stock I did in fact order so I may end up going that route

I agree i have one on a 260 that is top notch! When I ordered this thing the lead time was much shorter than McMillan and it looked like I would have it by elk season but something happened and it's just now getting done. I thought about just having some cerakote camo applied to it but I really prefer the molded in camo for durability so I thought I'd see if there was any interest here.

Awesome info thank you!

So after some focusing issues I swore I'd try and and stay away from Vortex products but I recently had a conversion with a gentleman that had an optics combo I'd not yet thought of. He's running Razor 12x50 as his neck binos and for early morning & late evening glassing and then switching to the 20x Kaibabs during the day and loves them. He feels the extra 5x of magnification makes up for optical quality of the Vortex vs 15x Swaros.... What's your guys thoughts on this setup?
-
I wish that was the case and I need to get familiar with the laws again but from what I remember willhunt4coues is right on. I've considered becoming a Sightron dealer and I wanted to offer a service where someone could send me the rifle, I'd mount a tactical scope, zero it and get actual drop data out to 1200 yards and get them a custom turret ordered but the ffl issue makes it difficult

Made some calls and emails today I'll let you gentlemen know soon as I start getting some info back. Thanks for the interest everybody
-
Thanks for all the interest! I'll make some calls about patterns, certifications and sponsorships tomorrow and get back with everyone interested
-
Generally if it can be submerged in water it can be dipped. I've been getting some supplies and advice from a place in Arkansas, if there's enough interest I'm going take thier certification class and I'll get u a definative answer but I suspect it wouldn't be a problem

Nice tripod/head and some 8mm Remington Magnum brass and dies
tomkat12 posted a topic in Classified Ads
Bought this tripod/head on a whim A couple weeks ago after some good reviews on Amazon and YouTube . Its actually a very decent tripod and a great value but isn't suited for back pack hunting. It would be great tripod used from a vehicle or quad. It's in the original box with all its goodies and has never left the living room, If someone wants to pick it up in Gilbert or close by Ill let it go for $50 bucks to save my lazy butt a trip to the post office. Link is below http://www.amazon.com/Ravelli-APGL4-Professional-Tripod-Adjustable/dp/B003SQEAY0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424447974&sr=8-1&keywords=ravelli+tripod I also found some 8mm Remington Magnum Dies ($20) and 50 rounds of new unfired Remington brass ($30) to go with it if anyone is been looking everywhere for it lol. I loved my 8mm actually but regretfully sold it a few years ago. Happy hunting friends! -
It's never too late. I think the 12x50 are a done deal I'll probably order them this week but I think I'll get with Ross outdoors about renting the 20x for the weekend before I pop for those though.
-
Thanks for the advice everyone. I think if I went this route I'd probably rent them for the weekend and try them out first
-
Hmmm... I think my description might be taking this in the wrong direction I'm not too interested in comparing the quality of optics. Lets suppose Swaro sold 20x56 binos do you think a set of 12x50 & 20x56 would be a better set up then a set of 10x42 and 15x56?
-
I think he was just meaning that for him even though the swaros are optically superior (& it certainly appeared he could have afforded 15x swaros) he preferred the extra magnification during the day. I think the basic logic was that since he was taking advantage of the superior light gathering abilities of 12x50's at first or last light anyways that he felt the vortex 20x compared favorably to the 15x Swaro and in those conditions he preferred the 20x vortex

No it sold sorry

Nice unused Midwayusa gun case here 42" model. GF got this for me for Xmas however my rifle doesn't fit in it. Thought about retiring it for an exchange but with shipping cost I'd rather sell it to a member for $50.00. I'm in Gilbert area
-
No problem Brian it was nice meeting you sorry I didn't have more time
-
it's a nice case I've already ordered those next longer one. hopefully someone on here can use it mostly I just don't want to tell my girlfriend that was the wrong thing lol
-
An m16 a2 is 39.5 inches if I remember right so unless you have something longer than 20 inches it should fit just fine
-
I have a 24" bolt gun that won't quite fit but comes real close. I'd think your average non magnum bolt gun would fit just fine
