Best hunting show on TV.

I have found that when a rifle is shooting groups like you describe something is usually loose. Try getting some cerrosafe and make a slug about 3/8 from the end of the barrel that you can mic. Group size can be attributed to a couple of things but the flyers indicate inconsistency like a loose sight. Try shooting some cast bullets.

Having a new firearm that dosen't perform is like finding out your girlfriend cheated on you. Take a good look at the sights and you may find one that is loose or just not holding position. Can you put a scope on it see if it shoots better? 18" @ 30 yards is heck of a lot, have you let someone else try shooting it?

Don't overlook intercepting them in the evening as they return to the roost. They are a little less wary as they often walk single file focused on getting back to the roost.

Good to hear that I have been hoping that there would be some browse sprouting up so the wildlife have something. I'm going to try and head down for a few days later this month to do some pre-scouting before I head down in November.

If he is 19 what are his parents doing involved? 17 yeah maybe but if it were my kid he'd be doing community service at each persons house with me standing over him. Not to say mine now 22 was an angel but he took his lumps when he stepped out of line. I'd probably thank you for making him call everyone.

I have a straight 4X I used on my 22-250 for years and found that perfect for shots up to 150 yards. My other rifles have 2-7X, 3-9X and a 4-12X, all Leupolds. Of course the 4-12X looses quite a bit of eye relief at 12X and has sat on a 700 in 7Mag for the last 20 years. That may get upgraded to a Schmidt and Bender this year.

I used to shoot 110gr's in my 7-08 and it was a great pig round but never tried them in my 7 Mag, both Model 700's. My favorite load in the 7mag was 120gr Barnes X bullet somewhere around 3350 if I remember correctly as measured over an Ohler Chronograph. I'd have to dig up the load info but I believe it was RL22. I still have a handful left. Each gun is different and the 7-08 had the factory heavy varmit barrel and shot practically everything in one hole at 100 yards with the exception of some PMC 140gr softpoints. I was bummed out over that because I wanted to use them for Chickens and Javelina when I shot Silhouette because they were about $8 or so a box compared to the Sierra 168 HPBT Match bullets I used for Turkeys and Rams. Once I sped them up a little in the 7Mag they went from 2" to sub-MOA. Both rifles have the same twist.

In close quarters when you may only have time for one shot. One reason why the 455 Webley was needed. In my conversation with a career solider he told me that in his first hand experience the 9mm usually took two or more shots to stop Haji. The 45 did it with one.

I have a Haier that is 36Hx24WX36L and can easily fit an Elk with room leftover.

looks like a Model 10, it will also handle +P rounds just not real common to see one as most people don't sell them and $250 is good price.

Remington also makes a synthetic stock youth model so it should be possible to find one of those stocks. If you don't see on on Numerich just give them a call as they may have a source. You can also just buy a wood stock and cut it down like I did with a Remington 788 so my son and daughter could use it on their first deer hunt on the Kaibab many years ago.

Way too many tags and people buying up property.

Hope you weren't wearing camo.

Great Showing. Heard they were beat by the French. I would have thought it would have been North Korea.

Thats a good unit. I have the same hunt but in 36B, not my first choice but 33 was also on the list.

36B 11-9 to 11-15. Nice

Check Gun Broker.

Another hunter for smartwool.

Probably the same reason I didn't get one. Although I did draw a Deer and a turkey tag.

They probably had to award the contract to lowest bidder.

I got hit for Deer and Turkey late this afternoon.

Credit Cards have been getting hits since yesterday.
