    recommend a tripod

    If you can find an older Vortex SS Summit tripod with a ball head it meets your specs. It looks like now they only make one with a pan head though. I have one...I keep it for my Zeiss 10x, it doesn't perform well with 15x in my opinion, not enough stability.

    Want to buy Tikka T3 plastic stock

    I have a used (some scratches, etc.) lefty T3 light you can have for free. Epoxy up the bolt handle recess on the left and dremel it out on the right when you paint...it should be fine. It's in Tucson though, probably won't be up in the valley until Xmas.

  6. I have a lefty .270 T3 Lite that has been my primary Coues rig since 2012. Bought it new in 2008. I have another .270 and as venerable as the caliber is I really do not need two. I'm thinking a 6.5x284 would meet my Coues needs...anyone on here have experience with putting a new barrel on a T3? I'm in Tucson but have no problem working with a PHX gunsmith if anyone can recommend someone versed in Tikkas. Thanks for looking.
  7. Thanks guys, a member on here contacted me and I'm going to work with them...converting my .270 to 6.5x284 with a Bartlein barrel and swapping the factory barrel on my .300WSM for a Shilen one.
  8. Bump, put the rifle together and threw a scope on it, $260, $350 for the Rifle Basic Trigger, barrel wrench and bases. There has to be a lefty out there that needs this.
  9. Sure, feel free to PM me the info. Thanks.

    Zeiss conquest 4.5-14x50

    Bump, good deal. This is a great hunting scope, I have the same one with target turrets.

    San Diego Deep Sea Questions

    Fishing in March can be spotty, but you will still have a lot of fun and could luck into some Yellowtail. The Outer Limits is a great boat, but I'm not sure it runs day charters, mostly overnight and longer, but I could be wrong as I only fish there out of SD from July-September. I like to fish with Seaforth and highly recommend the boat "San Diego" on a 3/4 day. It usually runs $145 a head. It's not uncommon to see ladies on the boat, but it will be a long day for them if they won't fish and aside from seeing dolphins probably not much fun. None of the 1/2 and 3/4 day open party charter boats are built for comfort. You could look up a "6 pack charter" if cash is no problem, that would be more fun for the whole family but it does cost more. http://www.seaforthlanding.com/pages/fishcount.php you can also find historic counts for March here as well: http://www.sportfishingreport.com/pages/boatdetail.php?month=3&year=2017&boat_id=248 http://www.sportfishingreport.com/pages/boatdetail.php?month=3&year=2016&boat_id=248

    Chevron lake

    In my experience this time of year the southern access point can be crowded at the campground...lots of folks hoping for browns in the spawn. The hike down isn't bad. Fish the west canyon walls at sundown where the lake turns to creek. Bring good headlamps and mark the trail if you fish after dark...it can be tough to find. For the last 3-4 miles the road in can be bad with mud (but I think its been dry for a while up there), one year it took 5 bucks in quarters to get my truck clean at the DIY carwash after a trip. If you have access to a lightweight inflatable raft or float tube it can open up a lot more water...just dont try to portage a heavy canoe...you may regret it on the hike out.

    Free beginners Fly Fishing Clinic

    I'd contact Dry Creek Outfitters, the fly shop on River (and Swan?), pretty sure they offer casting clinics, fly tying, etc. once in while, and the Old Pueblo chapter of Trout Unlimited, they could help you line up an audience.
  14. Thank you guys, both gunshack and Northland have decent options in stock...I'm starting to think maybe I should get 2 barrels
  15. I just picked up and older left hand Savage 110DL in .30-06 at a reasonable price. Future plan is to build off the action (finding a lefty action is tough) and like most Savages it does have a barrel nut so swapping barrels seems to be fairly simple. Plan is to go with a 6.5x284. There other several manufacturers that offer screw in replacements: Shilen, McGowen, Krieger, Criterion. Anyone have experience with any of these companies? Maybe it is a Ford/Chevy question... I would be looking at a 26" blued barrel, #4 or 5 contour and $400 would be the budget. Also, aside from Boyd's and Choate it doesn't look like there are many Savage lefty stocks available out there. Of those two, I'd lean towards Choate. A custom McMillan isn't in my budget. Anyone aware of any other lefty stock manufacturers out there? Thanks for reading.
  16. Posted this last week and had an offline friend claim it, then decide it wasn't what they needed. so they are back up. Used Swarovski tripod adapter for SLC binos, most commonly used for 15x56 but also works with 10X. Won't work with old school slc 8x30 or EL Swaros. $65 TYD or local pick up in Tucson, work/live in midtown.
