Sorry about the late reply. I’ve been busy doing construction work and haven’t been online for a few days. The rifle is pending and I will put you down in case it falls through.

I also used lower and upper cabinets from a kitchen remodel. You can see it’s a matter of making it work since they’re not built to fit. You can see the old microwave nook and cabinets not reaching corner to corner. We did this 25 years ago and I since dressed it up by adding some 1x to make continuous shelving and filled in or created shelving to maximize whatever space is there. It’s a real small space. I also put fresh paint on the 70s era doors and drawers. I choose to keep the vintage hardware because I feel you can’t get rid of all the history.

Honda Rincon. 55 miles and 11.5 hours. Clean title, located in Holbrook, AZ. $8500.

Left hand Remington 700. Shilen barrel with brake, timney trigger, DNZ scope base, sling. Components include bullets, brass, dies and ammo boxes. Around 185 pieces of brass, mostly Weatherby brand and some Nosler. Bullets as shown, around 230 pieces. Two sets of dies. One RCBS and one Redding. Redding is new Type S Match. Most pieces of brass are once fired or new, never fired. I have 50 pieces loaded up with the TSX Barnes. Nothing wrong with the rifle. I just tend to not use it like I should. Maybe it’s because it’s kind of expensive to shoot. I use the non magnums almost all the time to hunt and I had this built because I thought I had to have a magnum. It really likes the factory Weatherby 180 grain partition and it shoots them as well as the reloads. They’re about $100 a box. Whole package is $1050.00. If interested in the rifle without all of the components or some of the components, I’m willing to separate if it’s fair for both parties. Message me here and I will check up throughout the days. I’m located in Holbrook, AZ but regularly visit Show Low, St. John’s and Winslow.

Final price drop.

New price.

Good job making it a project. I had a lot of fun with my dad doing that. We started with a Baja Bug and went to a 55 CJ 5 with a 302 v8 and did a lot of tinkering on his planes. It helped me out because when anything went wrong, usually minor, I could fix it. It helped when it was a carburetor and computer minimum vehicle too.

My family has a thing with knifes. We even have our share of Benchmade. I don’t think anyone would buy that unless they are a collector. Titanium is very cool though. It’s not the price, because even the wealthy wouldn’t buy it since they are usually smart with money. It’s a hobby thing. I do like the modern knifes like this one over the old trapper type of yesterday. I think I will get a Case G-10 Marilla as an everyday carry.

Real good deal. Someday I will get one. The Fireball is the perfect cartridge to shoot high volume center fire and not go broke. I got the K Hornet for this reason and it provides me much joy at the range. Congratulations to whoever got it. It will make a very useful rifle for you.

16 year old could handle a 30-06. It’s a matter of trigger time more than any caliber. It’s important he shoots more than a few times before the hunt. I was handed a 270 when I was 13 and we used it all the time from the range to varmints before I went on a big game hunt.

You can definitely do it yourself. If it turns out like garbage, you can probably get a new stock for a few hundred more than someone would likely charge to refinish. Keep the old one and it can be used as a template for a stock maker somewhere. I did a model 60 marlin on my own and it was pure junk. Almost to the point of throwing it away. That’s why I decided to try it out. If it turned out bad. No big deal, I’ll just toss it. Lots of videos on YouTube to help you out. Watch plenty before you do it.

Casey’s is good, been there many times. Make sure to call to make sure they have the room before you go there. I made the trip one day after an elk hunt 200 miles away and was promptly met by one of the workers before I got my other leg out of the truck and was told they can’t do it. No other people were unloading theirs at the time. It was hopeless for me to beg. I thought it was going to be as routine as every time I go there.

I think the confrontation started out badly. I’m kind of like everyone here and think I do no wrong and always have the right way of thinking, and when I’m a victim, I deserve better and command respect. However, my time spent in my career dealing with different egos and attitudes have taught me a few tricks for a situation like that where using the correct words and body language can make the two parties comfortable with each other from the start. Them being there can switch from you being annoyed to you sharing some good cooking and brews. The Mexicans I know always bring the good stuff to camp.

Best deal ever. Way too bad I’m not close or I would jump on this. These are my bullets for a few guns and they are accurate.

Wow! Zero to 100 quick. I’m not too put out by that as that’s how a lot of old timers would think. They would choose loose chickens over the family dog in most occasions. I had a grandfather that could have done the same thing. It would be interesting to hear more memorable reactions he had as you were growing up if you don’t mind sharing.

I was talking about these photo radar tickets a long time ago and found out that most of the people that pay them are immigrants. For some reason they don’t mess around and pay them quickly. I guess they think it will get them into big trouble if they don’t. I talked to a few I know from Mexico, Iran and Canada and they always pay.

I would get them all over the state. Usually in Star Valley, Show Low or Pima Road. I always ignored them. One time a star valley ticket was served to me in Mesa. I paid it. The person serving me tricked me in my front yard and got me pretty good because I was alert to being caught and I have to give him credit for that. I got a few in the company vehicle and the office manager would forward them to me and I paid to not cause any trouble. All others went away. I’m not talking like I’m a wild man, all were the minimum like 10 or 11 mph over and nothing reckless, I just did a lot of driving back then, like around 50,000 miles a year. That much and you’re going to get something.

That’s exactly why I quit going there. I bought the membership years ago and thought I could just go to the long range. I was way wrong. Going to competitions to get access is a waste of time to me. No offense to those that do that, it’s just not my thing. I’m sure it’s fun. My thing is to do some serious shooting at a nice place. I’m not stupid, I know they have liability and insurance issues with that and everyone thinks they’re real safe and know their way around a gun and don’t think they need to prove it to anyone or need to be told what to do. I’m not one of those, I think it’s important to earn the privilege and could follow any set of rules given to me. I called and talked to whoever was in charge and asked if I could pay to take safety tests, certifications or other qualifications in lieu of competitions to get access. Couldn’t happen. I put up with the main range for a while and stopped going.

Commercial definitely. It’s just a better place to be over Residential. There are a few Commercial Electrical contractors that will hire him and he can go to school, once a week. The program is called IECA. I’m sure you can google it and find those that participate. When finished with the apprentice program, he will get a raise and be on his way to being a foreman, at least for a small TI. I know plenty that have been through the program and it was nice to watch them grow from a helper to a leader. One of the main persons over there was the head of AZ elk society. https://iecaz.org/

I have an old Leupold Vari x III 4.5-14x50 from the late 90s on mine. It’s one of the best scopes I have for the ranges you mentioned. It’s been discontinued long ago, but if you find something in that power range from a good company like Leupold, Zeiss, Swarovski etc, you should be good. Steiner has a few too but most I mentioned are going to be around $700. Used scopes are never a bad idea if they are known to not be counterfeit. That usually means buying from someone you know a little. I’ve had good success before doing that. As far as mounting a scope, it’s important to have all the tools Cazador listed. I have several of different types and it always helps to level it to death before torquing it down. That’s where it may help to have an odd level to place at random places to double check. Scope mounting is one of my favorite things when using all tools available and being patient when going about it.

I would say go with a 60° action since it may be your last. Terminus make a good one that fits the Remington footprint. I really like not opening a bolt way up there and the smaller throw has other advantages too.
