You are not supposed to use TSA locks on firearms. They will inspect the case with you present and then you lock it.

They have never asked me for it and I've sent my spotter and slc binos in for a checkup and cleaning for free except shipping.

Shooting Bows and pellet guns within a 1/4 mile of a building
azgutpile replied to wayno945's topic in The Campfire
The only restrictions that I'm aware of regarding shooting a bow or air rifle are in place at the city level. -
The Havalon knifes are great, but be careful with them. When the blades brake, they tend to go flying; had one bounce off my face earlier this year.

Duck Hunting Etiquette
azgutpile replied to CouesPursuit's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Good for you. I think I would re-read the original post. I didn't imply or complain about where I hunt. It even looks like at least a couple other people in the "community" thought the information was valuable, followed by better ideas on top of mine. That's CWT, right? And let's be honest, any open discussion on any hunting etiquette is worth having. Even if it doesn't apply to you. Ok, how about this. If I get to an area and there is someone already there I should move on ( first come first serve). Especially if I'm close enought to tell if they are sky busting, walking back to their truck, or I can tell how their call sound. If you take my advise about finding another location, all of your concerns listed above would go away. -
Duck Hunting Etiquette

I've hunted ducks in Arizona for 29 years and never had the issues that you are describing. I think I would find some new places to hunt. -

Behind the prison has been the most recommend location for the last couple years. If you go there, you will see the result. -
Brass splitting help!!!!
azgutpile replied to hunter1026's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
What you have is a case head separation, which is usually caused by excessive head space or to many firings of that brass. The best way to check the head space of the rifle is to take it to a gunsmith and they can use a go/no go gauge and see if it is within spec. Another easy way to check for excessive head space is by placing scotch tape over your case head and see if the bolt or breach will close. Do this with a new case and one of your reloads. If the bolt closes on your reloads and not on the factory you either are setting the resizing die up incorrectly or the die is out of spec. If you have already used the brass several times, the brass just be getting old. You can make your brass last longer by either neck sizing your dies or getting a head space gauge and set up your current dies to bump the shoulder back just slightly. -

My buddy purchased the last of it yesterday.

explain some if u can Barrel $320 - The last I heard, you could purchase a prechambered barrel from Criterion barrels for $320 which you can either install it yourself, or have a gunsmith install for cheap. Then purchase a decent stock from stocky'sstocks.com for somewhere close to $200 and bed it yourself. Purchase a Timney trigger for $94.00 @ midwayusa.com Then purchase some quality bases and rings. With your current bold face you can choose from any cartridge that has a 308 or 30-06 case diameter. (e.g. 243 win, 7mm-08, 308 win, 25-06, 270 win, 280 Rem, 280 AI, 30-06, etc.) Since you already have the rifle, I would start with a good quality scope first and then work on the rifle.
-
A good quality scope with a parallax adjustment helps out a lot. The problem is that once you purchase a good quality scope, you will immediately start upgrading your rifle to catch up. The good news is that you have a rifle that you can upgrade to a semi custom rifle for much less than what you think, probably close to $600.

I was told a couple ears ago by someone at game and fish that you could tag the animal; however you can't have a weapon. The Steve Chappell shot and lost a bull that was later recovered by game and fish and he had to by it back at the auction. I honestly don't think game and fish knows what's the right thing to do is.
-
I've witnesses a perfect quartering away shot before where everyone thought he would be dead within a hundred yards turn into a 2.5 mile track and still lost the bull. The bull never layer down and, just kept walking in the directions of his cows.

Trying to avoid the crowds in 31
azgutpile replied to latigo11's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
All I know is that all of the roads going up to the Santa Teresa's from the Klondike rd get slammed?... Same as Tripp canyon. The road past the prison is fairly well known as well. You have to do some hiking to get away from the crowds in that unit. -

**SIDE OF HWY DOVE HUNT TOMORROW AFTERNOON!
azgutpile replied to hoghntr's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
It not knowingly occupied, just occupied structure without permission. You can't shoot from or across a maintained road or roadway. On most highways ADOT has the roadways marked and the markings are usually right along the fence on either side of highway. -
Alaska Dall Sheep 2013. Tok Managment Unit Draw Permit
azgutpile replied to 308Nut's topic in Other Big Game
I just helped a buddy on his Delta Control, walk in Sheep hunt (neighboring unit) and can honestly say it was the hardest hunt that I've been on. When was your hunt and did you use 40 Mile Air? -
Great buck. Looks like he landed hard.

Shooter (Ballistic Calculator) for Iphone users.

Its not what you want to hear, but you could always just multiply it by the pressure * 2.036 to get your inHG... This is what Leica suggested to me. -
Shooter (Ballistic Calculator) for Iphone users.
azgutpile replied to AxisWorks LLC's topic in Long Range Shooting
I used his earlier version "Ballistic FTE" and later upgraded to the Ballistic Advanced. I preferred the earlier version better... It seems that he started off with a good product and proceeded to screw it up. Glad I didn't spend the $20. Thank you. I just spent the last couple hours working on the app settings and with some tweaking, I was able to get it to operate like it should... I'm going to change my response to its a good app, but plan on spending some time figuring it all out.
