  1. I have a very distinct memory of my first duck hunt when I was 13 yrs and using a M97 12GA. Two red head drakes buzzed our decoy spread lft-rt at full speed, was able to rack that old pump gun and drop hem both. Where are you located?

    I agree with a lot that has been said.  I think one of the things we are seeing now is the horrible rain year of 2020.  Driest on record for Tucson.  I saw several springs dry that I never seen dry.  Predators had to be eating good.  I only saw a few fawns that year and 0 twins 

    2020 buck just did not put on heavy antlers.

    Quote "I know most game is taken within 150 yards"  That statement makes me think that you are not from around here or; that that statement is true in your neck of woods. Here most game is not taken withing 150 yards. Some it is, like Javalina and coyotes. But when you are talking Coues deer, elk, bear and some others, good luck making a 150 yard shot.

    Any way welcome and if you scroll down or do a search on 308 in the clasified adds, there was a nice one for sale just like the one you want.

    Agree. In the last 15 or so years my shots on Coues have from 220 yards to 380 yards. Mule deer in my experience have been closer and defiantly inside of 150 yards.


  5. A 20-22" barrel would be more ideal, less muzzle blast. 200 yard sight in is fine just remember about 1.5-2 inches hi at 100 yards. The standard 1-10 twist in the 308 will stabilize normal hunting weight bullets. Twist rate affects bullet spin which is what stabilizes bullet so it will not wobble in flight. Barrel length affects the speed of the bullet at launch. A non stabilized bullet will not be very accurate. Unless you have a reason to run that short a barrel consider the 20-22 inch length.

    It’s malnutrition bear looking for food and water. Its terribly dry up high. 

    I just spent a week in SW Colorado and the dust is 6” deep and deer are eating cedar tree needles 

    its worse here. 

    WE just harvested 3 medium sized bucks in 35B. Rancher said it was a dryer summer but we saw more bucks than in a long time and some bigger ones spotted but not taken. The bucks we did take were carrying fat layers I have not seen in 30 years.

  7. Come sight in your rifle with the Hassayampa Rifle Silhouette club. We will be at Ben Avery R-2 range just west of the main range. We will have targets up at 100 yards and if you just want to check zero or do your own sight in it is $10 a rifle for each of your first two rifles and $5 for every next rifle. We will have spotting scopes up, lots of tools to set scope bases and action screws and if you want help it's available. Remember $10 for each, first 2 rifles, targets are set up for you and no yelling at you by a range officers. We will be there tomorrow Thursday 5 through Sunday 8th, Tims 8AM-3:00 PM.
