    Remington recall

    No sir, just a post it from UPS on my front door. When I called Remington about 1 1/2 weeks ago, they said there was roughly 10,000+ guns ahead of mine. She was able to pull my info up from my phone number. She then said you will be receiving something from UPS, I never did receive anything except a failed delivery attempt sticker on my front door.

    Remington recall

    Well last Thursday 7/24 I noticed a slip of paper on my front door (it was from Remington-my 700 is repaired). It was from UPS stating they tried to drop off a package ,but no one was home. The note said they would retry the following day between 10:30-2:30. I told my wife to please hang around so she could sign for the package. Well the boy had to be picked up at 12:00 from school orientation so she left at 11:50, well when she got back there was another slip staing no one home at 11:58. ARGHHHHHHHHH I want my rifle. So I got on line and requested to leave the package at the main UPS bldg and that I would be by 7/28 to pick up in person. Can't wait to remount my Zeiss scope and tune it back up. Elk and deer tags will be filled this fall.

    Vortex vs. Minox vs Zeiss

    I own a pair of the Minoz 15x56 and aboslutley love them. I have looked through the Vortex and yes they are good, but I think the warranty is the key selling point to their reputation right now. I have a Zeiss rifle scope and love their glass. I think the glass on Minox and Zeiss are way better but that's my opinion.

    New youth hunter - questions

    My son had his first experience last year, he carried his own rifle but actually ended up using the one that I brought along (you know the one for coyotes, lions, etc.....) for the long shot. We have since sold that rifle, so on this years jr hunt he will be using my rifle again. I will be carrying the rifle since my elk hunt is the following week. I would hate to have him trip and fall and damage the gun, scope, etc.....I am sure you understand. As for the cleaning portion, I made the initial penetration. He then made the slit and started to pull out the guts. I helped him cutting the vitals out and giving it a good ole shaking to remove the excess slop. I sawed the pelvic bone for him and he removed the poop shoot. It was comical for the both of us. Due to the terrain, I drug the deer down from the mountain and into the ravine, it was still pretty nasty until I got it to somewhat level ground. I told him he had to get it to the truck, 3/4 of a mile he drug it, it kicked his little behind but never complained. Just talked about what type of sauage he was going to get. Good luck, take pics and cherish the memories.

    Gun Question

    I am sure this will open up a can of worms, but I think the law states you can't sell a handgun to anyone under the age of 21 regardless of private owner or through a dealer, long guns (shotguns/certain rifles) you have to be 18. I would be careful and verify age. People who are under the age of 21 can own handguns but the guns have to be a gift from a parent or gaurdian.

    Remington recall

    Sent mine on June 9, got confirmation that it arrived at destination. Now it's a waiting game. Even though its free of charge, I am little scared that some schmuck in the shipping/receiving department might walk off with my gun between here and there. I did inquire with Harry Lawson Gunsmithing and he wanted $150, wondering if I should have kept it local and supported a Tucson business. The world is full of good people......right!!!!!

    Online Hunter Education Course for Kids

    Last year I had my 10 yr do the online class because their were no classes available (Tucson area) at that time and I wanted him to partake in the fall javelina and deer for 2012. I sat with him and we took turns reading aloud each paragraph, he did one then I did the other. When it was time to take the test after each section we wrote down each question and then he would answer them. Any of the wrong answers we went back through and reread that portion. It took some time (staring at a computer is an awful way to learn) to get through the whole class and then he took the final exam, he ended up passing which allowed us to sign him up for the field day. I want to say it was at least 1 1/2-2 months out from when we finished the on line course. The field day was great, the instructors went over a lot of the info that the on line class talked about, but the actual test had many questions that really weren't discussed. The final test was very long, I want to say at least 11 of the kids didn't pass the first go around, but the instructors then took each kid aside and walked them through each of the questions they missed to get a passing grade. I have 2 more kids that need to take the firearm saftey class and I will not do the on line class again. I feel the classroom setting will be more intimate and allow the kids to ask questions, get to know other kids and share stories, plus make some new friends. I remember taking the class 33 yrs ago when I was 10 and still remember being taught T-A-B and being that I have children this is the first rule they learned and recited prior to picking up a firearm. Just my 2 cents

    I will take the model 70 if you are in Tucson, let me know if 1st deal falls through.
  21. I recently picked up a Browning (Beretta) B80 semi auto 12 gauge, 28' barrel, 3" chambered with threaded chokes really gorgeous shotgun. I have read that this gun is really picky about 2 3/4" ammo. I want to use it mostly for dove and quail. Does anybody have one out there that they are using and what brand 12g shells are you using if it is 2 3/4 dia. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
