Just a small heads up so no one gets in trouble, unless something changed in the last few months, a 1x scope is not legal in NM. It must be iron sights like NV. This scope would be legal in UT however.

As a healthcare professional, it all falls under your license. If your hygienist F’s up, it’s on you, your front office billing staff F’s up, it’s on you.

Do you list on GB yourself? I have about 15-20 guns I’ve been thinking about offloading, too many years of impulse buys. I figured it would clean the safe out and I could put some cash toward another sheep hunt. I have listed a couple things on there before but don’t have much history as a seller. Curious if you had ever used a consignment service for something like that? Also, bump for a great seller. Got the anschutz the other day and it is nicer than described. My niece will be fired up about it!

I hate to burst your bubble, but if you’re in the 20+ point slot as a NR and still 3-4 years out you won’t live long enough to get what you want unless you’re 30 right now. I would burn on an early Kaibab hunt while you still can, as that will probably pass you up in the next couple years as the “strip tag or bust” crowd is gonna realize they’re never gonna catch it.

SFP 1/4 MOA. Zerostop Reticle in pictures. Will ship at actual cost. Located in ND

Sold.

Like Mogollon said, you will hose him by putting in with him, not only from the fact that you drag him into the NR pool, but also keep in mind there’s a lot of tags for NR where only one is available so you will both be out if you are lucky enough to be drawn.

I drew it again last year on accident (scrolled down when buying points to see what hunts were offered and must have accidentally clicked the July bull hunt) and ended up donating the tag an eating a $5k tag over it 🤦🏻‍♂️. I’d rather that then sit in a blind for two weeks again 😂

I must not be competent then. I sat in a blind and stared at a salt block for 160 hours and never got a shot.

This was on a military installation. They’re private roads.

I remember the guy at the orientation on a Mcgregor Oryx hunt telling everyone that if he heard of someone shooting one near a road that DIDNT rest their rifle on the truck he’d be mad at em as it’s the best rest you have. The brush is tall and if you get off the road you can’t see squat unless you shoot offhand or off a tripod (which the idea of that didn’t even exist at the time essentially). He said way too many critters get wounded from guys trying to get off the road and a poor rest. His only legal advise was to make sure one foot was touching the ground. Anyhow, I just think it’s funny how one state away it’s legal and encouraged and next door it’ll get you 5 year loss of privilege for just outfitting someone that did it.

Wow. I’ve shot a pile of critters from a road. Musta been county maintained or something? I’d have to brush up on my AZ regs again I guess! We can legally shoot from the road here in ND. Seems like a petty offense to take away a license for 5 years?!?

This new nx6 is offered in a nice duplex reticle in the SFP. I’m kinda digging it.

“Four Bee”. Keep it off the World Wide Web please.

Does this spring back to center when it’s on the lightest tension or stay put?

These are so cool. If I was closer, I would probably just have to buy everything you have Phil! We have similar taste in guns!

This stuff is great in the .300 RUM!!!

Black cloud is good stuff. Wish they made the flight control wad without the flight stopper pellets though. Those things rip the heck out of the meat. Unnecessary in my opinion since most all waterfowl dies from a broken wing or a head or neck shot. If they’re close you can body kill them, but if they’re close you don’t need the fancy pellets either.

One more tip, especially for sub guages. Watch Roger’s and Midway in February and march. They will have some fantastic closeouts on 20 and 28ga bismuth (steel as well if that’s your go to). I have never paid more then $1.10-1.25 a shell for my bismuth and most of it has been less then $1 a shell. If you buy steel at retail you will be right in the same price range.

Boss bismuth is what I shoot for 95% of what I do. #6 out of my 28ga with an extra full choke. Patterns extremely well and will absolutely crush anything you put the pattern on out to 50 yards. I have never understood stacked loads. I think they’re mostly a sales gimmick. If you ever watch ultra slow footage of a shot column, it strings due to weight and aerodynamic differences in pellets. Everyone wants a short shot string, even to the point where guys somehow thing a 3.5” vs 2.75” shell will string more or less. The truth is, that doesn’t matter (well it makes 3/4” difference I guess) what does matter is misshapen pellets or miss sized pellets. They will string your shot out 15 feet plus at distance. When you do a stacked load, you’re guaranteeing a long strung out shot string, and costing yourself a lot of pellets with having the larger pellets in there, if the smaller ones will do the job at given distance.

This is an awesome post! Glad to see he’s getting after it. If you’re really wanting to get technical, pattern those 4’s and see what’s up. A 4 shot steel has more than enough energy to break a wing or neck or skull on any duck out there to 50 yards. Most guys switch to bigger pellets when they really need to go the other directions. I shoot 6 and 7 shot steel and bismuth most of the season here in ND. I’ll drop to 5’s if the wind is really blowing. Use 3’s and 4’s for geese. I never go bigger than 3’s for anything. I’ve watched a 3 shot steel pellet break a wing on a goose at 75+ yards many many times. Wingshooting is all about one pellet doing the work, if that one pellet has the energy at a given range, then don’t go any bigger as all that does is cut your odds of a pellet finding a home. You don’t kill ducks and geese with body shots, unless they’re real close, in that case any pellet will work. If you take some BB’s and 4’s to a patterning board at 40 yards it’ll open your eyes as to how important pattern density is. I have far far fewer cripples since ive moved to smaller shot. If i were to offer one piece of advice to him, it would be to take that big fiber bead off the gun. I take all the beads off all my guns, you need to be looking at the bird not the bead and that big bead will completely block it out. The old saying is “if you’re seeing the bead you’re aren’t seeing the bird” and I cant agree with that more.

long range hunting.com forums classifieds have some great deals on really nice custom rifles occasionally. Whenever a buddy of mine is looking to get in the LR game I just watch on there for a bit and find them a $5-6k build for $2500-3k. Miles better then the so called “custom” rifles that Fierce, Seekins, or god forbid Christenson offer for the same price.

You took your 1/4 measurements way too far up. I would say G&F are about right on with this one. 34” divided by 4 is 8.5”.

PM’d ya. I’ll take it

This HiLo guy looks like a real world class a55hat too. I think I’d rather go with Wards and not kill a crane then promote this d!ckwad.
