Stopped by the I-17 location on the way home. Said they received over 40 MSR's in for tomorrow raffle, over a dozen of them Colt 6920's with magpul furniture. Lots of ammo too. 7.62x54R, 7.62x39, 223(even have bulk 40gr), 308, 5.56, 38, 10mm, 45acp(even bulk) and TONS of 22long(no long rifle). Lots of other boxes there at customer service, looked like even split between rifle/pistol ammo. Appeared to be both target and premium hunting/defense ammo. Not much for powder, only a few boxes of large magnum rifle primers and 50bmg primers, a few cans of powder and barely enough bullets to cover the bottom of a shopping cart. Also had some 308 dies and 223 neck size only dies. Did not see any magazines. Happy shopping!

Glad to hear it is not life threatening. I hope he has a speedy recovery. Been there too.....ALOT. Everything from 22's to crew served weapons, close calls to fatalities. It's changed my belief that there is no such thing as an 'accidental' discharge, rather only a 'negligent' discharge. Every ND that I have witnessed or heard of, there was always some safety step that was neglected or passed by, usually due to being rushed, laziness or the 'can't happen to me/done it a 1000 times' attitude. I could go on and on regarding how I feel about weapons and safety, but I need to keep my blood pressure down.

Up for sale is a Remington model 660 chambered in 308 win. Rifle is topped with a cheap, yet clear, 3-9 x 32 Tasco, 1 piece base and 1" rings. Trigger guard/base plate has slight bow in it, common with these models, but not as bad as many that I have seen on GB. Action has been bedded and barrel floated. Rifle has no rear sight, which is how I received it. If you reload, she loves 180gr Accubonds, gets along very well with 165gr Accubonds and Scirocco II's, and prefers H4831sc over both IMR and H4350. Never had the need/chance to try any Alliant powders or other bullets, so I cannot comment on those. Rifle has been a brush/horse/truck gun at home in the Rockies all its life. As such, it has some of the most unique scratches, dings, dents and scrapes you've seen in a long, long time. You will not win any beauty pageants or benchrest competitions with her, but she has a nasty habit of dropping animals in their tracks with the above load, especially in the hands of a youth or new hunter. Will throw in a partial box of 150gr Win. power points for some early range time. Asking $550 for this reliable work horse. Remington 660, 308win

I'll let you know.

The Marlin, 30-06 ammo and 243 ammo have sold. Bill, I will take you up on the lunch offer this summer in Greer. Daniel, I hope your daughter draws her youth elk tag. Sounds like you got her hooked already.

The wife appreciated the offer. I'll make sure we take you up on it.

Was a pleasure meeting and doing business with you JLG.

I actually work in construction, just currently on the Fab 42 project, PUB building specifically. Have been working either at or in support of Intel projects for several years now. We do have a crew at Fab 6, so I may be transfered there once we wrap up here. Or laid off. You never know. But I know I have allot of days working at that place still to come. I just wish it wasn't always a 60-60-50 schedule. I miss having weekends.

I work at Intel in Chandler and live in Desert Hills. As such, I can meet anyone along the 101 to North Scottsdale, or along Northern I-17 come the weekend. Bill, none of my guns are safe queens. She has several dings/dents/characters, but shoots just fine as long as you clean her every few thousand rounds. And if you don't like it, I'll be happy to refund your purchase for you. Due to the drive time involved for me to get back home from your neck of the woods, I would need to wait until the weekend to head your way. Been wanting to visit the SCI museum anyways, so I might be able to talk my wife into a trip down there. I may have to pick your brain for a nice place to take her for lunch though.

SB1050 is the one introduced by Ableser. You may also want to take a look at: HB2381, requiring NIC background checks for any and all firearm transactions, including private sales and at gun shows; HB2431, allows those meeting eligibiliity requirements for the Arizona Militia to posses semiautomatic firearms and any/all accessrories, magazines and ammunition types/amount as available to the US military or any law enforcement agency in this state; HB2291, makes any federal law passed 01JAN2013 or later unenforceable in AZ if it pertains to the ban, restriction or required registration of semiautomatic and other firearms, magazines and other firearm accessories, as well as making it a felony for any federal employee enforcing or attempting to enforce such federal regulation within the state; HB2288, if I read it right, would allow for gun lockers to be put in public state buildings that have controlled access; HB2326, makes it illegal for any local authority to maintain a list of those who possess firearms; HB2432, establishes the Arizona Citizens' Marksmanship Program;

You found me!

I was in the Phoenix location this evening and overheard the lady at customer service say something similar. I did not catch the time or how many they received, but would be worth a call if you live closer and are in the market.

One of the best boots ever made, should sell quick. i wish you had smaller feet though. My father has had his pair for almost 25 years now.

$109.99 on Camofire.com right now. Smoking deal if your in the market.

Lefty- There are actually two scout shops in the valley. There is a small one in the east valley in the shops behind Bass Pro, and then the main scout shop is at the headquarters for Grand Canyon Council, which is at Thomas and SR51. Big- The scout handbook should be something that all scouts have, as well as all scoutmasters and any assistant scoutmasters who will have anything to do with scoutmaster conferences, board of reviews or advancement of any kind. Tommy- As for the really fun stuff, your son is still a few years away from being able to do Philmont or join a venture crew. You should have the troop look into a venture patrol. If you need any ideas on more adventurous programs at a troop level that can be used with younger boys, let me know and we can set up a time to talk and find out what the boys in your troop like. As for your son at this point, I would suggest you start talking to him about the O/A. He has to be elected in by the rest of the boys in the troop, but if you explain to him the joining requirements and what the O/A is all about, I am sure he will get stoked enough to help spread the word to those that could elect him. O/A elections are done once a year, and useually in the spring. You may want to ask the scoutmaster if they have been done yet this calender year. If they have not, you should ask your SM to schedule something with the local O/A chapter to get some elections done here soon. There are only 2 ordeals left this year. The first is next weekend, and then the last one for the year is in October. If any of you, or anyone on here for that matter, ever has a question regarding the scouting movement(for both boys and girls, ages 5-21), by all means feel free to ask me a question anytime. Jerry

Tommy, I commend you for getting your boy involved in scouting. It's the best thing out there for young men in my opinion. You should bookmark this website, http://www.scouting.org/. You will find the most current info for every merit badge there. Also, I would suggest that you take some of the adult training available on the site, specifically Youth protection and safe scouting just to get started. If you ever have any questions concerning scouting, feel free to shoot me a PM. I've been involved with scouting since I was 5 years old, so if I don't know the answer right away, I can tell you were to find it. Jerry

Good 'ol whisperlite. I'll take it. Do you know if it is the regular or the international?

Can you please give more detail on the stove? My scout troop is looking to purchase some more stoves.

how long till they are ready for the butcher?

Unit 43 in CO. Hunted there a few times when I lived in Gunnison, and headed up this weekend for a scouting trip.

Gotta love it when you don't need to worry about vacation time! I've been laid off during the January deer season for two of the last three years, and it's been great. As long as you have planned prior to this should something along this line happen then why not take the entire fall off and go back to work after spring turkey! If not, then make the most of your time off. What line of work are you in?

Not wanting to open a can of worms, but if you open up the political discussions sub-forum, the majority of topics/posts from January through March/April were concerning the AZSFW/AZSFWC and SB2072. Fell free to read to your hearts content, and decide for yourself what happened and who is who. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showforum=20

Gore-Tex is your standard go to, which can be found in sitka and most mountaineering grade rain gear. In recent years, NeoShell and OmniDry have emerged into the game, as well as others. I have a nice lightweight packable rain jacket in OmniDry that has always kept me dry and I have put it through some fairly rough terrain without it ripping yet. If you are looking for something that is camo, then your best bet is either Sitka our Kuiu. Personally, I have never tried out either Sitka or Kuiu, but there are plenty of discussions on line in regards to which is better.

Swung by today to take a quick peek, wife called me several hours later to remind me to go home. Awesome selection of bows, LOTS of shooting lanes & very helpful staff. Managed to shoot several new bows, and think I found my christmas present to myself. I also asked about some of the smaller companies bows and was told they would order me any bow I wanted. Their selection of accessories was nice, there is a sitting area to relax and swap hunting stories, and they still have room to fill things in. Even though I shoot in the backyard, I think I may have to swing by and start doing some shooting there.
