I have a question for all of you
firstcoueswas80 replied to little miss Huntn coues's topic in Youth Hunters
There is no set rule on which caliber is more accurate. It all depends on rifle, shooter, bullet, load, distance, SHOOTER, SHOOTER and oh yeah, SHOOTER! -

Very nice TJ. As I have stated before, if you want her to have a litter, I have a AKC yellow stud. He likes hunting to: -

Any one watch? See the matrix style kick? That was one of the best fights! And another congrats to WEC/UFC Bantam weight champion Dominick Cruz. As stated earlier I went to junior high and high school with him, played baseball, football and wrestled with him. He destroyed Jorgensen and he is a GREAT fighter. Dominick is absolutely the LAST guy I would ever though would make a career out of professional fighting. He was such a quiet/small/humble/nice guy. Never saw him as a fighter but dam is he good!

The ongoing story of my Dec. 2010 hunt
firstcoueswas80 replied to wildcat's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Yes, use all the time you can! When I had my December tag, I killed my buck on the 3rd day, my dad his buck on the first evening, and my moms boss' hunt lasted a total of 12 minutes. I had most of the tdays off and huntued a total of like 4 days! Keep at it and be patient! They dont come around too often! -
Cool video, interesting song choice!

Looking for a weapon
firstcoueswas80 replied to Broken Wheels's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
Does it have to be a semi auto? And why so? Why not a solid bolt action (Rem 700 is my choice) in say 270? -
Nice forks and mass on that buck!

270 wsm and H4350 question
firstcoueswas80 replied to Hunt7112's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I also thought the RL line of powders was supposed to be temperature sensitive, but after more research and shooting it here, in AZ and in Africa in temperatures from about 30 degres to about 80 degress and finding no difference, I decided that wasnt true. Also, I have complete confidence in H4831sc and it is one of my go to powders. -
270 wsm and H4350 question
firstcoueswas80 replied to Hunt7112's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I had better luck from my wsm with H4831sc than H4350, just a heads up -
The best way to practice, IMHO is to NOT shoot paper other then to sight in the scope. I shoot paper once a year, other than developing loads. When I sight in my rifle (I zero at 200 yards) it is on paper, normally with a chrono. After that, I do not go to the range again. I find the best practice and test is shooting rocks at what ever distance. That way, I shoot prone with a bipod and pack so it is a more field like shooting position yet stable enough to truely test the gun. Pick out a distinct rock and call the shot. Then shoot a 3 shot group and go measure how far from dead center you are, adjust your turret and do it again. I also plug my info to a ballistics calculator before I go out and make adjustments from there. As to the wind... I do not use a meter. If the wind is bending the plants or grass, its too much to shoot over 400 yards. If I think the bullet is going to move more than I am comfortable with, I dont take the shot. (I usually thikn 10 MPH is too much to accurately judge at over 400 yards)

I have not shot this gun since I had "El Chupacabra" made. It was a very good gun to me that I used and shot a lot. Bettin Custom Guns built Mauser 98 with a Shillen barrel. Recently sent back to Todd to bed and fit the McMillian swirly or "McSwirly" in a custom combination called the Coyote Bomber pattern. Gun has a Bold trigger that is VERY light and crisp. To me, it is actually too light, but easily adjusted.... He did that last time it went to him. It breaks like glass at about 1 pound I would guess. While he had it, he also reblued the gun so it looks brand new. He did come across one thing, he did say there was a tiny amount of erosion in the throat, which is to be expected with the rifle having about 700 rounds down the barrel pushing 140 Nosler Accubonds into tiny groups at 3200+ FPS. He stated it was from normal use and it still shoots well. Here are some pictures. The scope that is on it is a Zeiss 4.5-14x50 with turrets. It can be had with the rifle BUT currently it needs to be sent back to Zeiss, where they will fix the elvation turret. The last time it was shipped, the top turret was knocked off. Should be a easy, warranty covered fix. More pictures can be had, let me know. I would like $1,200 for the rifle and $1,700 for the scope/gun combo The gun is a proven shooter. Here is my best group at 100 yards with 140 Nosler Accubonds and H4831sc.

One more price drop, $900 shipped in a hard plastic case, insured. I will leave the Weaver style, 1" rings on the gun.

Clay, The first point on his left beam would you consider that a extra? Looks to me like that side is a 2 point with a cheater/extra? -
Border Patrol Agent killed near Rio Rico (36B)
firstcoueswas80 replied to GingerRam's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Talk about a man who was dedicated to his country and protecting others.... He served in the US marines. He worked at two different police agencies in Michigan. He joined the Border Patrol, and then joined the elite group of the border patrol. Talk about a man who was a true American Hero. RIP Agent Terry. -
Hmmm... That whole once you go to one school and then graduate from another BS you spelled out sure sounded like you saying it was wrong for me to cheer for them. How do you know myself, or one of my family members dont hold season tickets? How do you know how many home games I go to? FYI, I go to every home game I can, when I am not working. That was 4 this year. Narrox, they do not give out the birkenstocks and hacky sacks at freshman orenitation those are required to be accepted into the school. Freshman oreintation, atleast mine was spent cliff jumping, smoking hooka, and spotlighting for elk/deer etc.
