G&F announced on FB that the draw would take another week or so.

Sent you a PM. The 7-08 has factory loads available in 120gr and 140gr but Double Tap offers a 160. I handloaded for it and used everything from 100gr up to 168gr. If you handload it is a fairly straight forward caliber to load for and I've used IMR4064, W748 and W760.

Is this just a stock?

I can't for the life of me understand how a father deserts his kids and I'll leave it at that. What Unit did he draw and at 14 he should be mentally able to handle the recoil of a 243 which is more than enough for Whitetail. I have a couple of youth 243's and can meet you at Rio Salado and let him shoot them. One is a Remington 700 and the other is a Vanguard. IMHO a 223 is on the light side for deer but I also have a 788 in 22-250 he can try and I have both a cut down stock and a full size stock for it depending how tall he is. Don't worry about ammo, I've got plenty. I have an AR with a Trijicon he might find fun to shoot too.

Hang in there. I don't think they have given Rosie O'Donnell the sheet music quite yet.

I hope whoever it was he is ok. Sheet metal can be fixed but life is precious.

The show isn't as good as when Cody was on there but this new guy is just as quirky. Pretty sure Joe Teti would like to push him off a cliff.

With my F250 on the 202. Feathers everywhere!

For those who haven't see it before.

Hey Vowell, How do you like that Wheeler Torque Wrench? I need to get something so I can torque the stock on a Vanguard correctly.

I took a dead sapling I had made into a hiking stick and found a rubber coated lag bolt type hanger at Home Depot that was made to hang garden tools from and had my kids sit down and shoulder the rifle. I then marked the stick and drilled a hole in it so I could screw the hanger into it. I also did it with them kneeling and standing. I would keep it in my pocket until they were ready to take the shot. We also did lots and lots and lots of practice with 22's and the rifle which I had cut two inches off the stock so it fit them. This was about 15 years ago.

I have seen cards get hit for 3-4 days in the past.

It really is. I wanted a Beretta so bad I could taste it a few years ago but when I closed my eyes and brought it up to my shoulder and tight to my cheek the sight pattern was way off.

I just checked DSFCU and there is a $90 Deduct but it hasn't been posted yet so a 32 or 33 tag for me and the kid.

If you don't reload and want a good round for long range then I would use these or the 180's when they come available. http://store.iqmetals.com/trophygold7mmremingtonmag168grbergerhuntingvld.aspx

Maybe they got word that Nugent was doing a ride along today with Arpaio after his concert last night at the Celebrity.

They typically start heading south around the third week in August especially if the Monsoons are active and the temps are cooled off a bit. I have found that there are usually more White Wings in abundance around Tucson than Phoenix around then but you probably will not see them in the quantities you see now.

WOW great detail. What was your setup?

My only concern with this tent is the canvas. I'm in an apartment and don't have anywhere to set it up should I need to dry it out once I get home. Wipe it down good if it's wet with towels or paper towels. It won't Mildew for at least 24 hours, longer if you keep it cool that will give you enough time to find a place to set it up like Walmarts parking lot, a park or at your work.

I love a 10x10 tent. Perfect for two people on cots and the one I have now is 6'+ in the center. I bought it at Cabelas two years ago and I can set it up in 15 minutes by myself, which is the norm. It is what I would call a 2 season tent and I think I paid $125 for it. Big thing I have found with zippers is to not stretch the front corners of the tent tight. It puts more strain on the zipper. I've camped in temps close to 0dgF but I use a tent heater. I'll have to check the brand name tomorrow. I really want one of those 10x14 $500 tents from Sportsmans.

Great gun for someone wanting to break into High Power Silhouette.

Sent you a PM.

I have not seen 5 round AR Mags but 10's are pretty common.

That has 25 pounds of drag which should be more than enough to tire out a 40 pound fish but you could go to 50# Power Pro, I like PLINE Flouroclear. I would set the drag light and once you have a fish on you can gradually make it a bit tighter after the first run and if it wants to go just let it as it will eventually tire out after a few runs (hopefully) but i make the fish work for more line and keep just enough pressure on to let it know I'm there. Fishing a river with rocks and whatnot I'd opt for a different line than can handle the abrasiveness and retie often. I can't speak for using Circle Hooks as I have only used them for Tuna and Tarpon.
