That's already permitted.

Mine held up great over the December coues hunt. We got hit with winds up to 50 mph and still flexed and held together. Any other tent would have turned into a death trap.

If your truck can pull it up the mountain you'll find a place to park, guaranteed.

We fit a queen mattress a crib and all our camping stuff in ours. I love it.
-
what are you looking to get in return? Any Arizona beach front property or any Arizona Moose, Caribou, or Unicorn hot spots. Thanks.
-
I know some Jackalope spots I'm willing to trade.

Would it be possible to create a proposition to counter it?

My neighbor just got his Glock 21 back after 9 years. ATF found it on the other side of the country. It took almost 6 months for him to get it from them.

Savage 16 Lightweight Hunter 7mm-08
zackcarp replied to zackcarp's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I shot a coyote with the 120NBT and was impressed how well it stayed together. I forgot to take a picture of the exit cavity. The 120s apparently have a thicker copper jacket than the 140 NBT. I have read some things about the TTSX and might try them down the road. Kev, the accutrigger is very nice. But it is not a traditional accustock. "To help increase accuracy potential, instead of the AccuStock’s aluminum chassis, this one has dual pillar bedding and it’s backed by a thick, solid rubber recoil pad to take the edge off of hard-kicking loads." That if from the Outdoors review. The stock is VERY light. My wife will be putting in for Elk this next draw. -
So I have been looking at this rifle for my wife, as well as a mountain gun for myself if I need it. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has one to test out for myself. My wife doesn't handle recoil extremely well, shes a novice rifle shooter. The reason for 7mm-08 is she wants to do a cow elk hunt this next year. Im just curious if the savage light weight hunter in 7mm-08 has a solid kick in this light rifle. For reference, my wife finds a 12Ga to be a little too much. Thanks.

So just an update for anyone looking at the same rifle. I did end up purchasing this rifle and glad I did. I added a Vortex Viper 4-12x40mm, Viper rings, and a leather sling. Total weight loaded is 6.5 lbs. The load I worked for it is 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips on top of 47.9 grains of IMR 4350 in Hornady brass with Winchester Primers. This group was shooting off my pack prone. I did feel myself pull the bottom right shot. But over all, Im very happy. My wife loves it as well and the recoil is perfect for her. We will see how it does on my December Coues Hunt. This pic is twisted to the 9 o'clock position for whatever reason. -
That's not his mule.I was semi referencing Jeremiah Johnson... A very bad one apparently.
-
I'm going out the week before Christmas and a couple days after.
-
Sooo, Did you notice your mule has 6 legs? Sounds like fun.

Redhead ragwool convertible gloves. These are the best I have used. I work out side every day and have the late hunt as well. Only problem is I don't know if they make them anymore.

Boiled eggs and granola for breakfast. Canned chili with pre made corn bread is a quick easy dinner. Then stews, mac n cheese with tuna.

Most of this year sucked, until now. Pic Heavy

Nice. Is going to be in the Herald. -
First time doing gutless on my elk this year, I would highly recommend it, particularly if you are doing it alone. I had my whole elk in game bags within 2 hours.

This is another reason people who marinate a steak for a couple days, tend to have more tender steaks.

Yikes, I luckily survived both Alpine and Safford without any dents.
-
I thought I was gonna have to pull out my floaties near the fair grounds. I got hammered in Alpine earlier, thought I was out and in the clear until I saw that awesome lightning display over the Gila Valley. When I got home I had to check my truck for dents. Looks like cotton prices are on the rise.

If they aren't up high then check the washes. There used to be a lot that went into the pecans then back to the desert. They're there.

Black powder wheel guns make it fun!
