    Question for the Cope lovers

    I smoked for 12 years and quit because of my kids and so I would not stink when I went hunting. To quit smoking i just picked up a can of chew. IT WAS the best alternative to smoking. I chew BIG dips (1/2 of a can) for only about 30 minutes if not less so. I go through about 2 1/2 cans a day 5 dips (still cheaper than smoking). I only spit even though I have heard it is worse to spit. Something about spitting your acids out which you need. But anyways I still have not received any cavities. My grandpa chewed for 60 years and never did get cancer and still had his original teeth when he passed so I believe it is in the genes. Everyone is different. I look at it this way I could get into my Jeep after work and be killed so tobacco did not kill me. If it gets to the point that i need to quit I will. I have quit everything else that was 100000 times worse so to me tobacco is nothing compared to all the other crap. On another note they say Marijuana is the gateway drug I personally believe TOBACCO is the gate way drug. Just thought I would add that in there even though I have not smoked a jay in YEARS.

    G7 BR2 Rangefinder Review

    Like SPEEDYGOSS said practice is the key here. Don't just practice when there is no wind you have to test yourself and your equipment in all types of conditions. So like lately it has been 20 mph winds everywhere and 20 mph winds would be the worst case scenario. I base it off of how many times can i hit the 12" plate at 1000 yards? If i can hit that plate under every condition 8 out of 10 times 80% then yes I could say I am confident that I can take that shot. I only have a 12" plate to shoot at because basically that is the size of a Coues. If I can't hit that plate then I have no chance of hitting a deer at the desired range. So know your limits and know when to say yes and no. Thanks for putting up these videos SPEEDYGOSS. here is a few more on how the rangefinder works.

    G7 BR2 Rangefinder Review

    I have the G7 and I will tell you it can do ALOT more than ANY RANGEFINDER ON THE MARKET. Here is a review: First off I do not work for True Pulse G7 BR2, Laser Technology, or with any affiliates these findings are solely from my experience with trial and error and the G7 BR2 was bought with my own money. First impressions are great and I tell you when I ordered the G7BR2 you get exactly what you paid for. With a price tag of 1699.00 I started to really research rangefinders. I have a nikon riflehunter 1000 and can usually get out to about 750 with it but wanted to be able to range further. I loved it because it has incline decline which for this topic we will call THD (True Horizontal Distance). With being able to range as far as I can I wanted the THD feature on whatever rangefinder I found. Now almost most of them have it BUT the catch is it will tell you true line of site with a degree of incline or decline. So I thought seriously why can't they make one that tells me THD instead of line of site with degree. while searching I found the G7 BR2 but man the price was way up there. So I started to research. This rangefinder has a built in ballistics program and will give you TRUE exact readings. 1st off you can enter into the profile select which consists of 6 1 for JUST pure ranging that give true line of site, THD, tempature, alltitude, baro pressure. Next 5 profiles is where you would enter in guns. You can store a 30-06, .308, 338 mag what ever you have. In my case I have a hunt coming up and have my dads gun saved, 2 buddies gun saved and 2 of my rifles saved. When it comes time for them to shoot just select the correct profile (which you can name anything) and it will in turn give me correct THD in moa calculating in baro pressure, temp, altitude. 2nd once you have chosen a profile to update you can edit the name of profile. Next you chose Moa, BDC, Or inch as a drop standard. Moa gives you a correction value so you can dial up lets say 500 yards is 10 moa. It would read 500 yards with 10 moa. You can also select BDC if you already have a BDC turret (BDC turret is one that is set yardage for your rifle from usually the manufacture of the scope). So BDC terms would be 500 yards is 5 on your bdc turret. With the BDC input you will additionally input turret altitude, and turret temperature and this is only for the BDC turret. Next selection is the G1 or G7 standard. Almost every boat tail pointy bullet is a g5, g7 standard but most manufactures of ammo only give a g1 standard. G1 standard is a flat base pointed tip bullet. Next you enter in your BC of your G1 or G7 standard. Then you input in your muzzle velocity, then sight height, then zero range. *EXAMPLE*Now since you have your description (.308 Howa) with a MOA, G7, BC of .242, Muzzle velocity 2588, sight height of 2.00 (inch), zero range of 103 yards. You now can select if you want the range finder to continuously range, Range far targets (flat country), near targets. Now you press the range button with your .308 Howa (examp) selected it will give me a TRUE LINE OF SIGHT reading but here is the catch it will then calculate everything you imputed to the alltitude, temp, baro, incline/decline and shoot back a MOA number that appears about 2 seconds after the range is given. For example if I ranged a deer at 388 yards it would display 388 for 2 seconds then switch to 7.4 moa. Now lets say you want to check all this with a ballistics program fine just press the mode button once then press the up down arrow to give you all the reading s like THD, temp, baro, altitude, ect now since you have everything that needs to be inputted into the ballistics program you can to check to see if everything is on. Also included is the ability to dope wind with a wind meter. Just get your current reading 5, 10, 15 mph and once you have your MOA adjusted then press the down or up arrow and the reading from the range will be calculated into the wind so if you have a 5 mph wind with a range of 400 yards your reading should be 1 moa (.308 Howa). The ballistics engine will work out to 1400 yards with the range finder able to range without ballistics to 2500 (I have actually had the ranging work out to 2500) which is unbelievable. The range finder has a great goretex outer shell that is very durable. You can also select 3 different crosshairs with the back light able to be adjusted bright or dim. For everything this rangefinder has to offer from just ranging to getting full ballistics with wind this rangefinder is a must for those that require a long distance shot or just seeing how far away that hill is so you can plan accordingly. The rangefinder also comes with the instructions, extra battery, neck strap, and a hard shell case. I was going to go with the leica but the only down side to that is the ballistics is not TRUE it is based off a ballistics curve so you pick the CLOSET one to your gun which is not reliable. Please take the time to review the video I have attached to see this rangefinder in action and I know I do not explain stuff the best but this video will show you just what I mean. I can now say THAT THERE IS NO OTHER RANGEFINDER ON THE MARKET WITH THIS KIND OF CAPABILITIES. So the 1699.00 price tag is WELL worth the price if not more. Here are all the videos:

    remington 700 sendero nightmare

    I had the same problem when I purchased a .308 700 ssd-aac tactical back in october. I went through and put an HS stock on, Trigger, bedded it, new scope, new base, and new rings and all it did was improve the group 1 inch. So now it was a 5 inch group instead of 6 inch. I was shooting 168 grain bergers through it so I chaged and grabbed some federal 168 and same thing. So I tried 150 grain and it got worse. So i grabbed some 175 grain and BINGO!!! It started shooting sub moa actually .246 groups talk about a difference. So if you get it back and they say it shoots fine then try heavier bullets. Just food for thought. I still sold it and jumped away from 700 fast and went and bought 2 Savages in Model 10 in 6.5 creedmoor and model 11 in 6.5 creedmoor now both of these guns out of the box shoot .25 groups with factory ammo and reloads are even better. I believe remington (with the way the gun was made) has dropped their standards big time. Why change a great trigger to that piece of crap 40x? And the bolts need to have sako style extractors and not the c-clip. Just not a fan of remington anymore. I had a 6.8 from remington that did the same thing it only liked 1 type of grain of ammo.

    on line purchase

    Call leupold and ask them if they are a dealer. I went to buy a Mark 4 scope one time and just did not understand how I could get a 1200 scope for 400.00 so I called leupold and they told me what to look for and if they are a dealer or not. It may be the Chinese or Canada version which is not covered by US warranty. CALL THEM!!!

    Bucks! Big, Medium, Small & a 120++

    You should really look at the camera I just purchased for LONG RANGE videos. I have tested it and it will do 120x OPTICAL in full HD mode and believe it or not really steady camera. I have a Panasonic Ag-Ac90http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/AG-AC90.asp and can say it takes AWESOME video but the little camera FZ70K will do it just as good video at higher magnification for 10x cheaper. I can actually take pictures at 200+ in optical if you reduce the MP which is fine for computer use. This video just blows my mind. You have more than 1 120+ buck on there. The tall guy has some amazing character. If you can do this good filming just get you a tag and head out filming if the right timing is there shoot one. http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-FZ70K MAKE SURE YOU SHARE ALL YOUR VIDEOS FROM HERE ON OUT....Amanda may ask you for some of the footage since it is soooooo freakin awesome.!!!

    Pros and Cons of living in Globe

    Its not a dump...LOL. It is really a beautiful town. I have lived here all my life (34 years) and can tell you, you will fit right in. There is not much for the kids to do but head out into the hills and camp or head to the lake. I love raising my kids here because I want them to have an outdoor type life. I have the kids out every weekend enjoying the outdoors, If not we are at the local archery or rifle range shooting. So there is Archery, Gunclub, 4H (THAT is a big one around here), ect you know REAL family time together. The movies is another idea or walmart if all else. We have a new OUTDOOR shop 4B Shooting Supplies right next to my store Mathesongas. The schools are great here. The Destiny school got the highest I believe in state for the AIMS testing (or some testing). The theft is not bad it just depends on the neighbor hood. I have NEVER had anything stolen in Globe (knock on wood). If you are from a small town you will love it BUT if you are from a big town (phx, mesa, ect) you will not like it. I would NEVER live in phx area just because I can not stand the traffic plus I can be in the hills in 5 minutes, be at work in 3 minutes, and be on the other side of town in 5 minutes. I cna't imagine taking hours to get to work everyday but thats me. Some love that. Find you a good neighborhood and you will have no problems. Don't be afraid to ask about the hood with other respectable neighbors they will give it to you straight. Heck I still walk into circle k with my car unlocked and running. always have. Plus like safford you don't have kids running around like unleashed mormons trying to defy their parents wishes like you do in safford..(my sister went to college there so I know how it use to be)

    GUNWERKS G7 BR2 RANGEFINDER FOR SALE - $1,300

    I have the same one and it is by far the best piece of equipment I have purchased. Heck even the optics are clear as can be. I usually just use the ranging mode for when I am out shooting and use my ballistics software and then when I figure everything out I see if the rangefinder is correct and sure enough it is right at 100% correct. Great purchase. I heard Long Range Addiction is coming out with one like this. Should be interesting especially if it is cheaper. I have had mine range out to 2500 yards on cliffs it is a remarkable piece of equipment.

    7mm or .308?

    If you want a gun that even a 7 year old can shoot look at the 6.5 line. I have now 2 6.5 Creedmoors 1 of them is a Model 10 and the other Model 11 long range hunter. Both are decent speed but not to fast at 2800 fps. Here is my info: 140gn Berver VLD, H4350, 2800fps Density Altitude 4550, 70 degrees 100 yard, 2214 ft lbs, 2668 fps, 0" 500 yard, 1477 ft lbs, 2180 fps, 44.50" 700 yard, 1190 ft lbs, 1956 fps, 106.40" 1100 yard, 741 ft lbs, 1544 fps, 343.20" The 6.5 calibers have some of the best ballistics. I have owned both .308, 7mm and can tell you I would sell everything just to have a 6.5 Creedmoor. .260 and even 6.5x47 are some awesome rounds too. But to be able to see my son shoot at 600 yards and hit while actually enjoy shooting without flinching is PRICESS

    Magazine capacity

    There was never a limit on bold action rifles but there use to be on semi autos. About a year or so ago they changed the limit that AZGFD could not tell you how many rounds you could hunt with and also making suppressors legal. Even if you do have a 100 round mag on a Coues you rarely get more than 2 shots.

    I have been watching this and the ATF has the rights to paperwork but not this. You don't even have to register an 80% lower and that is why they are mad. You are doing something that THEY (ATF) FEEL is wrong when it is not. When this all settles down they will have to give him back all the 80% lowers and then he can go after the ATF if this hurts his business. I was going to get my FFL but until OBAMA gets out of office I am not even going to try.
