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?

I realize its something like impossible at this point, but does anyone have a decent place to find large rifle, small rifle or large rifle magnum in any variety between the north end of Phoenix valley, to say Flagstaff? Thats about all I need beside a bench and a little time to start cooking my own rounds. Guess since I don't have a wife, I can always use the kitchen table.

There really are some pretty good things getting glassed up in the woods. Kinda makes me think I need more time on the glass since I haven't seen much in the line of non-animal related stuff. One of the coolest things I have seen though is watching a Border Patrol chopper buzzing a canyon over to the from where I was glassing. It went back and forth a few times then landed down on the flat where the canyon feeds down to. A couple BP trucks parked on the pavement near the chopper in the flat and yup you guessed it, 3 UDA's came walking up to the pilot who had exited the chopper. They were quickly loaded up in the trucks and the chopper flew off to go look for some more action. My dad has some goods stories from 34B near I 10. He witnessed a couple morons shooting up a pump house. He ran them off, but wasn't able to get enough information since they split pretty quick. He also found a dead body down there, which was determined to be a suicide.

Well I have an AR lower so assuming I can get the rest of the parts that will be my next gun. I really want a Sig 220 and that will probably be the next full gun purchase, unless of course I can find a Smith and Wesson model 29 in .44 mag with a 6 in barrel for the right price.

Laughing that much is kind of painful. Geeze I don't even have to see the whole picture. Its taking me 5 mintues to get this much typed. Thanks for the new wallpaper on my desktop. I need a good laugh like that everyday. I don't know that it really helps, but my tiger stripe camo boonie hat always goes along for my hunts. I think I had gone without filling my deer tag for about 6 years before last one. Then again I was trying to spot and stalk with sticks and feathers.

Sorry to hear that. Regardless of it being a mistake or intentional on their part its sucks. I had the same thing happen to a couple buddies who put in for elk on the same app, back in the day. It was weird to hear the G&F movie phone voice say "YOU WERE REJECTED". Anyway you said you had proof and left me hanging so appoligies if I seemed mean with it. I just have this bad habit of telling folks to prove it.

I can't help myself, PROVE IT.

Thats why you put the AK in the scabbard of the Just 1 and wear the tactical vest. Come on.... In all honesty I agree, stay away if you don't feel good about the situation. If you have no fear go kill a buck.
