    Help name my new hunting buddy!

    I had a buddy with a GSP he named Ruger... I really like that name for a "huntin style" dog.

    New coues gun

    Will do. Garrett does great work and was very easy to get a hold of. Also, the work was very affordabel and I can not find anything about the rifle I dont like (given the fact that it shoots as good as it looks!)

    My New Couesie Gun

    Mike, there is no way in heck that thing will shoot. I know it will just weigh you down in the woods. Send it to me, and I will make sure to whack some jack rabbits with it! That thing is cool. Now, please take the picture down so I dont feel the urge to add another coyote gun to my arsenal!

    Regular vs. Short?

    You must keep in mind the design behind the WSM line of guns... Match, or nearly match their "grown up calibers" in a shorter, lighter, easier to handle gun... Basically, cut 2" or more off the barrel, a 1/2 inch +/- from the action, and loose a pound or so yet still have the same basic ballistics. I believe the WSM's have done just that! Then, if you run a WSM with say a 24" barrel, instead of a 22"barrel ( like my 270wsm) it comes even closer to matching even the best larger companions... ie. my 270wsm pushes a 140 accubond to roughly 3200 fps (one load pushes it to 3250 with slight pressure signs, another pushes it at 3175 with no pressure signs).. That is heavily breathing down the neck of the fastest factory produced .270 around.. the .270 wby mag, and still in a lighter, shorter action and barrel!

    Bino Warranty and Repair Work

    Well, I am not really using a warranty at all, but I am sending my Zeiss 4.5-14x44 for my .257 wby to Zeiss to get target turrets installed. Everynight that I send a email, when I check it in the morning I have a reponse from them. I am impressed so far! We will see how long it takes to get it back!

    Scouting companions

    I love taking my dog out. When I was up in Flagstaff, him and I made dozens of scouting trips looking for elk. He loved it out there so much, he would peel out when he hit the dirt! I have only taken him out coues scouting once and he was very well behaved. Stays on the trail, and doesnt go far in front of me. If he gets too far, he stops and looks back at me and waits for me to say something to him. I have only taken him out once, because the next time I went out scouting after the first time I ran into my first snake I have ever seen while glassing. I will probably take him some more this year, because he loves it! Doug, dont forget, Rica is notorious for blocking the view! Especially in the early mornings, Rica is very rowdy, and terrible for standing still!
