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.

7mm Rem Mag and Federal 110 grn Barnes Triple-Shock
PRDATR replied to SunDevil's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
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.

New Call For Huachuca Gould's Sierra Vista NWTF Banquet 8/4
PRDATR replied to Little Creek Calls's topic in Turkeys!

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.

http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Products.aspx?catid=11940 You might also see if Bell & Carson make one. 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

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.
-
I have been watching mine like a hawk so that is good news.

If it is an indoor leak get it fixed now. You don't want it leaking in the house as freon is heavier than air.

question about august archery in the desert
PRDATR replied to kennyazman's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
A collapsable cooler works well. -
True but not as bad as the eight yo who was killed in Florida a couple of years ago.

Loss of Bear Hunting Access Due To Extreme Fire Danger
PRDATR replied to lonne's topic in Black Bear or Grizzly Bear hunts
Some of it has to do with logistics. The Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs caused the evacuation of thousands. I was there and lots of folks were pissed and inconvienced. If it wasn't done who is to say how many would have died and then the lawsuites start. With the Monsoon here I believe restrictions will be lifted. But if the resources aren't available because equpiment and manpower are spread too thin then areas get temporarily closed to entry. You lessen the risk but can't prevent it entirely so it gets managed. -
