I'll take it while you're in PHX this Saturday. Thx. Pm inbound.

Enjoyed his posts very much. Rest in peace, Ben.

And that is just an estimate. The bullets are backordered, website still has them in stock, one of my least favorite business practices.

I ordered some bullets from them last week that were listed as in stock and they confirmed the order stating it would take 22-34 days to ship. Buyer beware.

Same target at 200 with taped holes, I took the picture so close so I could see through the tape. Not proud of it but I hadn't cleaned the rifle since last fall before my hunts started. This rifle and load shot these 2 an inch apart at 400 yards last December while doing a quick check outside deer camp. The pic is sideways, but it prints in the same spot as my first group this morning and verified my 2 click down decision before shooting the second group. If there wasn't such a crosswind today, I may have clicked 1 right. Next time out probably.

With archery over I made it out to the range for the first time in a while. Here is that Superformance / 143ELD-X load at 200 yards with a decent crosswind after the rifle had been sitting in the safe for a while. Thinking the group should have been tighter and having not cleaned the rifle in a while, I thoroughly cleaned it on the bench, shot 3 foulers on a different target, moved 2 clicks down, and here are 4, 5 and 6 after cleaning. My final load for my 7# Savage LWH in 6.5CR: Lapua Brass CCI Small Magnum Primer 143gr ELD-X 45.0gr Superformance (43.2gr stated earlier was a previous load) 0.003" Jump 2730 +/- 5 FPS

Sorry I missed this. No, I bought it insulated.

Regardless of cost this is great news for fisherman, hunters, and the residents of Tonto Basin.

Nice deal

Excellent. Congratulations on an incredible season and buck. Sorry to hear about your duffel bag.

Said it before and I (obviously) will again, F these pro sports and celebrities that think their opinions have some additional value because of the size of their "platform." I have been turning on golf and hockey and not watching just to boost a single rating for the only non-political sports left.

Wish you lived a bit closer for the sweet deal! Good luck with the sale.

I understand the OPs concern but this is seriously a non-issue if you take just a few precautions. Have an ice chest at the truck, bone out the meat, carry the best cuts back first in relation to the gear you can't leave behind. 2.5 miles and 45 minutes is nothing for a young determined hunter. Go shoot another buck!
