  1. 4-500 is considered above long range to me :-) they can dial and check laser distance all they want, but they still have to take into account the wind and terrain etc. So i'll leave those long range sniper shots to the pros :-D I topped her off with a Vortex Viper. Was too hot last weekend to sight it in. maybe this weekend

    Cell service help...

    whoa. how far of a signal does the wilson booster attenuate. In town I find its a mix of vzw, tmobile, att. depedning where and how deep in a building i am has the best signal but out in the sticks. vzw hands down. at least getting 1x or 3g is good enough for making a call or pulling down a map.
  3. Exactly!!! Not like they go through much or hire special people. Everyone rags on walmart and the dumb people behind the gun counter who doesn't have a clue. It's the same crap at other big box stores that sell guns....who's suppose to have specialty people. I don't care wtf they know. Do my research before hand and I am only in the store to make a transaction not to listen to what some burger flipper or jiffy lube guy has to tell me. And to pay their mark up over walmart for the "specially trained" staff that is suppose to help you. No thnk you
  4. Looking real versatile. The standard action is great as it can fit just about any gun with a mag bolt face. 7rm. 300wm. 338wm. No problem to re barrel. Been comparing the different weights and velocity. Trajectory pretty much stays the same.

    Vortex

    oh, i get it now. good luck, they are plenty of glass for the money. the 8.5 magnification is nice too, it doesn't introduce so much shake as the 10x or higher does.....but then again these hands aren't known to be steady when looking at a buck!
  6. neato idea right there! I know it hurts like heck when pushing full bore bullets I cast. Some lube always help along the way

    Bushnell Legend HD

    I have a pair of these. Glass is clear even in early mornings or late evenings. Even does a great job looking at stars at night. I don't really like the eyecups, but then again you are looking at the spotting scope. The new Legend are quite a step above the old and entry level Bushnell. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Bushnell-reg-Legend-Ultra-HD-x-Binoculars/748883.uts

    Vortex

    i bought them for my wife a few months back. used a coupon and cash back so it was like 100 bucks OTD :-D They are ok, I like the eyecups better than most of the other binocs. Is it the greatest....no, is it worth 100 bucks, you bet!
  12. was it hard to push in or your palm hurting? the newer CVA have the palm saver. kind of a round rubber end of the ram rod. After a few rounds, the sabots do have a hard time going down, i usually spit clean every couple rounds

    5.56/223 for deer? Input welcome

    yeah without reloading i would just go to another caliber. Can't really play too much with the variables. but 1:8 should stablilize a good variety of bullets including the heavier stuff. oh course magazine length would limit it some too. hows the herd doing up there? they getting roudy and noisy yet?

    5.56/223 for deer? Input welcome

    People hunt deer with bolt 223 all across the nation No mag limit bullet choice depends on the twist of your barrel, would go for the heaviest and accurate it can stabilize. There are some good 223 projectiles these days to handle the task. Do you reload or off the shelf?

    Labs that test plants

    call AZDHS, see if its something they can test? Some of those bears and lions that wander off get set there for testing rabies.

    Meat processor near 20C

    what part of 20c? If you are in the south east area there's a few in Wickenberg. If closer to 20a definitely look into those guys in Prescott.

    Carrying Extra Rounds in the Field

    LOL! Thanks for the laugh! Save yourself $400 or so, buy you a used xd-40, 9 or 45 or Glock 22/23 and call it a day My xd has seen some serious carry time, been refinished twice and still shoots like a house'a fire! I never jump in my truck to go into the woods with out it! Or in case of bears find a used Glock 29 and load up some Buffalo Bore or some Double Tap and hang on tight!

    Savage 17 WSM???

    It peaked my interest when I first heard about it. But feels just like a gimmick after you factor it all in. Just looking to put impressive numbers on paper. 4000fps sounds great. But not being able to reload and rifle and ammo costing the same as other varmint rifle/cartridge I lost interest
  20. call azgfd and have them come out and tag it.....
  21. I've compared numerous 375 bullets with known book velocities and worked up loads in Quickload. The trajectory of the 270 and 300 (depending on bullet) are pretty close. I went with the Sierra GK 300gr because of the higher BC. Hornady use to bake a BTSP 300gr as well but can't locate any. Sierra makes an impressive 350gr SMK! not sure if that bullet profile would be H&H friendly though. Still trying to find a lighter bullet 225-270 with really good BC that doesn't break the bank.
  22. I think you have a right to demand OEM but I could be wrong. Depends on your insurance company and what you are paying for. They can have a clause where they don't have to use OEM parts.Yup. Depends on insurance company but usually it's the front and rear bumper cover they won't replace with OEM even as requested.

    Snake Gaiters

    I have a pair of Irish Setter boots. They are extremely comfortable and durable. So long as your not bending over and squatting a lot, don't really notice them. easy on easy off when you are back at camp too.

    Pic of the elusive unit 10 goat

    i hear that caliber is quite effective short range but requires a muzzle break
