Hey SunDevil, your inbox is full so couldn't send a PM to you! The zeiss is in very good condition and I do not wish to sell the rifle separate from the scope.

Adding a couple other things 1. Leupold WindRiver Cascades (roof prism)10x42 for $200 and a Yamaha BearTracker 250 quad, red, good plastic, good tires, camo seat cover, quad cover for $1000.00. (Needs battery and carb cleaned from sitting for a couple years). Thanks, Kirk

So figured I should update after 1 day and long night! Bighorn tent, LRF900, Ruger 10-22 are sold and the M/L is sold pending funds. Reckon that's long for what ya'all call "spf". Others have asked for pictures of some of the other rifles listed and I will try to post those but not very good at that! Prices are as follows for the 270WSM-$700, 7mm08-$600 and the 257 Roberts also $600. Alaskan pack n frame goin for $150 and Remington shotgun w/ extra vent rib barrel is $325. Stay tuned and thanks ya'all for your interest and or purchases today.

LRF 900 has been sold, thanks Allen! P.S. Will accept a piece of your shag carpet from your tent set up on the Kaibab too if you want to throw that in!

I just figured out WadeNAZ folks! He is pulling the old reverse psychology on us rednecks and suggesting we never hunt down there and "there are no deer there anyways" so's he can create his own honey hole or maybe open his own drug store off ElkHorn Ranch Road maybe!

WadeNAZ is right people!! We should just pack up and head north and let the cartels have southern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas! (They truly can have California though!) How dare we fight for what is ours after others gave their life so that we could become the United States of America! Run Forrest run.....

Well heck fellas, sounds like we are trying to bring back the old west so let's allow the native American Indian to have his hunting grounds back and attack any white settlers (like those wth cabins in Greer, Alpine, and all of the rim country that he comes across! Wolves are bad, Grizzly bears are bad and if what we all want is balance we need to start doing what the Chinese are doing and stop the pro-creating of two legged creatures as well. To keep it real, wolves and grizzlies were fine as long as we could shoot them on site and not "during a season only" or as "allowed by management". A wolf kills one of my pets while camping and there is no "repaying me" for my losses! You can't replace a loved one and if it happens enough you can bet there will be a reckonin from us down to earth folks who aint into tree huggin! We can't go back in time or who is to say we don't bring back slavery, stick women back in the kitchen and out of cars and kick the crap out of our children when they talk back to adults? Do away with Child Protectove Services, Game and Fish, ACLU and go back to public hangings for thieves and gun fights instead of drive-by's! We could go on and on but it is a waste and I couldn't buy enough popcorn to continue to read this thread though some of it is a real hoot!!

The key word to all this is "at" as in "deer hunter that had to shoot at his mule deer buck 4 times in order to take it"!! Had he actually been hitting the deer in the vitals one would think the animal would have expired! Be that as it may I would think a 257 Weatherby Magnum, 7mm Magnum or a 280 (Allen's choices) would be more then sufficient to harvest an animal out to that distance! IMO, just saying, for what its worth, etc...

Sweating, under-nourished and out of shape are the serious end results to freezing your arse off so wear wick away clothes, keep your engine pumping with good carbs and hopefully you are in good enough shape BEFORE you head out. Maybe consider doing three weeks of P90X just to hone the body a little bit maybe! Have fun and take your time going in and coming out as broken ankles and torn ACL/MCL"s are not a good thing!

Allen, we have already spoke in person about this but knowing your love affair with your 280 and wanting to use it I still think you will be fine with that weapon as a 600 yard slayer! Spend your money on good optics and do your own reloads and you will be fine! I am happy with the Vortex scope in a target dot reticle with their turrets which you also mentioned you wanted to go to on a scope, and you can get into a Vortex right now through Doug @ CamerLand for $249 and I think its $100 for the turrets afer you determine your set up. Now I am a rookie at these long distance rigs but after picking up TAM's 30-378 I am really stoked to get more educated and he is a good person to seak advice from as well. Good luck in what ever direction you go in and just remember your basics first and foremost and you will do just fine! Breath and "squeeze to please" brotha, squeeze to please!

Somebody pass the popcorn please!

Is it true that Allen Taylor had purple shag carpett in his "casa" up on the strip during his hunt? He also tagegd a pretty nice buck too but shag carpet?????

Tim, when you can please send along the reloading specs your friend used and I am definately interested in the 210 grain JLK's I think you called them? Thanks again Tim for dropping it off on your way down here Thanksgiving Day. Kirk

Leica 1200 will be all you ever need unless you are planning on shooting out past 1200 yards? Scuttlebutt is on plains hunts like antelope in Wyoming/Montana where there is very little to mic the Leica seems to always acquire the target for you. Plus their waranty even past the two years is incredible to say the least!

Parting ways with my T3 in 270WSM. Rifle is one year old purchased @ Bear Mountain Archery. Comes with a Vortex Viper 6-24x50 scope on a Game Reaper base/rings (one piece) from DNC Products. Would like to inlcude dies, spent brass, some factory rounds and about 50 rounds of reloads (140 gr NBT)! Don't need any of it as I am going to a new toy and will be putting all my time and monies into it real soon!! Pictures to follow from a fellow CWT'er as I am too "challenged" shall we say to figure out how to post pictures on here! Price for all is $750, rifle and base included as specific to this rifle would be $450. Can meet within reason as I live in East Mesa.

Most of the military and other entities channels are HF or VHF and a scanner will get you in on some pretty good freq's. I spoke with more HAMM operators from the states then the countries I was "visiting" down in central and south America back in the 80's. As others have stated though, your best bet is to have a sat phone or call your local sheriff's dept and hope they are not all at a political rally somewhere!

I also have a Tikka T3 with a Vortex long distance scope on a kick butt base and rings (one piece), reloading dies, brass, some awesome 140 NBT reloads etc...

You should have kept the rifle, manned up and got rid of the gloves! Of course my hunting buddies also give me grief over my TC Encore single shot but as long as I get the first shot in I am content! Enjpy it all for one day it may be gone!

Allen has already been filling me in on some of the awesome bucks he is glassing up there since yesterday so you all should have a great hunt! Good luck and God Bless

I don't see the "revised" price you state in your last message? What would that price be now? PM me if you like or just state it on another message or tell me where I missed it as I am retarded sometimes... Thanks!

Great deal, wish I was in the market for a jon-boat!

Heck the shrimp alone is gonna kill our poor bookworm before the bad guys do folks! It already has him thinking he looks like a chica!

Being a parent is not always fun and sometimes it is downright brutal but everything that we do is out of love for our children though they sometimes don't see it that way. It has been many moons (full ones of course at hunting season) since my youth but I can still recall how unhappy I was with my Father for not "siding with me" when my Mother would put her foot down, but it didn't take long for me to realize and figure it out once I was 17 and in the military! Good luck to you young fella and if it is at all possible as a young person, consider what your Father is doing as a good thing and learn from it which will be the best grade you could ever get!

Wow! This is way too heavy for me and a definite Makers Mark and Coke discussion around the campfire though I wonder how the old timers used to figure it out "back in the day"? I will leave this one to the experts for sure... Broken Wheels

Gino, that don't look like no heeler in your camp there, what kind of critter is THAT? Get to Oklahoma fast my friend...
