Sold pending meet.

It's a .308 projectile. So it's the same projectile as any other 30 caliber. No way it's too much. Anything bonded that isn't an explosive type. Partion, accubond, Barnes, etc will do less damage to meat.

No not a stupid question at all. For me just changing the stock brought my groups way in for the rifle I still haven't bedded. The rifle I bedded still shot about the same, it also was not free floating. I couldn't get a dollar bill between the stock and barrel. I have no experience with it, but you could try the ladder test as part of the load development. Only problem is you need a chronograph. This will show you which load should shoot best and if it doesn't group then its time to bed.

The sound of a pump action shotgun cycling a round is the best deterrent ever made. That and a big dog. My thoughts exactly. Throw down a shotgun for her.

28 is one of those units that there are deer and hogalina in just have to know where the pockets are. I ran around it with sticks and feathers quite a bit during high school and college. Never killed anything, but I am Murphy's law encarnate when it comes to archery. That said 28 is a locals unit for the most part, not the unit that everyone flocks to. 29 has access issues, which translates to not a popular unit.

Sounds pretty close to my experience. Saw 2 bucks that stayed out til about 820 one morning. Couldn't get in before they topped over the hill into oblivion. That's the problem with being the 5th hunt. The bucks get to be old by knowing how to avoid hunters. I think they were mostly nocturnal the first half of that hunt. Couldn't tell you about the last half as we called it good. 36a was my first choice unit growing up, and I've hunted it for 18 years now. The last few years have been worse and worse on all the hunts from what I've seen. I think I'm to the point Id stay home over 36a. On the positive side, I saw a lot more mule deer in there than I have since I was just a pup. None of them had horns either though.

I have the rifle in 308. Recoil is nothing, packing it around on the other hand is a chore. I'm looking to sell it though if you want to step up to a .308. ;-) Seriously though don't do the 26 inch heavy barrel for her to pack around, it's a burden. Get a stock that fits her and a good recoil pad. That will help and if that doesn't work, then add a break. Check out the Savage Lady Hunter in .243 at cabelas. It's lighter and the stock is supposed to help with the felt recoil. Just got that in .308 for my fiancé, need to find some glass to let you know how it shoots.

I've got two bells on two different 700s. One needed nothing just put the action screws and it was floated and solid. The other needed some work to get it floated and an action bed. My vote is mount it and see how it shoots before going through the bedding process. As for the optic, depends what deal you can get on a Mark 4. If you qualify for a pro deal you can pick one up under a grand fairly easy. I am a fan of them, but I don't have experience with any other scopes.

Not sure where or who would still make them. I have a Velcro mount for no studed binoculars. I use it with 1040 zeiss classics. Have used them for a number of years and actually like them as well as the Swaro mount. A google search found this one http://store.coueswhitetail.com/velcro-binocular-adapter/ go figure the coues whitetail store...

I'd keep them rather than giving them away like you are.

How many of those "Mojados" actually were wet? " Wetback" is a Texas slang ...... Let's see now .... Would it be PC to use the Arizona slang name here on CWT? How about "Undocumented person walking north"....LOL Well it was mighty hot so they were sweaty wet. I like the scratch back as well though. One of them had the best reaction I've ever seen, trying to hold up a piece of pig thistle for concealment.

Was a rough opening weekend. Saw as many mojados (wetbacks) as bucks. I spent more time in the glass than normal as I was trying to find a first buck for the fiancé. Saw about 80 does in 4 days.

Out at the moment and the whitetail bucks I have seen have been far away from the does.

Might do better putting this in the classifieds section.

I think any gun from 6mm up would do you fine for just coues. I haven't really looked at the ballistics of say a .243 to know how well it will do at long range, but many of coues have fallen to it and bench rest shooters use various wildcats of 6mm to reach out long range. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the guns already suggested. As roninflag said the key is the rifle,scope and operator set up. The $5000 McMillan won't do a bit of good if you don't put good shooting practice and procedures to work.

Where is local pick up?

Agreed. I don't like the "I'd rather look cool than happy" philosophy on picture taking either, but hey - to each his own. Great bucks - Bucknasty is a dandy. Morenci kids don't smile for pictures it's not a matter of being cool. It's like throwing the spider as a wave, it's what you do. I still am hard pressed to smile for pictures. Congrats Waldo and Mike. Jake good job writing this up.

Cabelas was super empty tonight compared to what I've seen in the past and expected. I was there from 7 to close. Picked up some 210M primers. Bonus was they were about 6 bucks off. Seems like there is a lot less rush this post election week than last time.

Unless it's reported lost/stolen it won't be in NCIC or ACIC. Only law enforcement types can run it through the computer. Little bit of red tape to run things in the computer for personal interest, think felony and no more job. Also this posting should be a defense for fail to return found property. You are making the effort to find the rightful owner. So not just good karma. Usually with found property the local PD will have a timeframe for claim by the owner before the finder is notified it is theirs to pick up. If the finder doesnt want it then it is auctioned or destroyed. Not sure what policy is regarding firearms, I know it's different in most cases thanks to the ATF. My department had a pretty good collection of guns I would love to own, but the ATF tape made it easier to destroy them so they did.

Good luck with that December tag. Only have 3 whitetail hunts and two jr hunts ahead of you. Good news is I'm sure they had tags for all the above left over, due to the cartel bringing merchandise through the unit. Illegals are there as is border patrol. Just like any other southern unit.

Ladies, where are you finding some of the warmer style clothes for women? My fiancé is on the smaller side so she can't stretch into guys clothing and there isn't much choice at cabelas. Looking to get her a few layers so she can add or subtract as needed, since she runs a little more on the cold side than I do.

I have the book and for the H4831 and 180 gr. ti gives a starting load of 70.2 with a velocity of 2702. The max load is 75.5 with a 2982 velocity. It shows a 101% load density with the max load. Oh and looking it doesn't designate that it is the scirroco 2, just says scirroco.

I would recommend joining Arizona Shooting, the only catch being you need to make a few posts to get into the classified adds over there. There is a rather steady flow of pistols, rifles and shotguns for sale or trade. There are really good people and like any internet forum a few d-bags. I have seen a few people I recognize from here over there as well. I have made a couple of deals there and they went really well.

I spent some time reviewing doing this. After a lot different reviews on the Kwick Klip, I stayed clear of it. Just seemed like it was either a great or junk, mostly based on what caliber rifle the user had. I just wasn't willing to take the chance of getting the junk version. Getting an actual remington conversion kit or replacement parts was fairly difficult as well since I was looking when everyone was out of stock. They are expensive considering what they are. Brownells is around $140.00. I got mine from Stocky's Stocks for 130.00 Edited to remove my lack of skill in adding links.

Still available or did Lark take the cake?
