    Daughters sheep hunt

    Its important to engage our kids and keep them hunting. One of the great things about the AZ System is a chance of anyone getting a tag. I know of a 12 YO girl that got a Desert tag a couple of years ago. That is very exciting. Its too bad you don't feel the same way. Its really too bad you missed a few years and aren't a max point holder. BTW did you read the story of my daughters hunt on here when she was 20. It was, and will always be the most memorable hunt of our lifetime. Best wishes Mike

    My Daughters 13A hunt from years ago….

    I just saw this since I was on a sheep hunt with a life long friend we probably saw 35-40 rams bigger then my daughters in 4 days of scouting and 2 days of hunting. He killed a mid 170’s Congrats on getting a great ram. they have combined 13A, 12A, and 12BW and only have 1 tag now. The G&F said if that tag were turned back in they wouldn’t even reissue it. The herd on the Colorado River through the Canyon is doing fantastic now where it was down 10 years ago. Hopefully some of those can help the 13A herd. im glad you enjoyed the story. It Was easily is my most memorable hunt.

    Swaro CL Companion 10x30

    Free bump for a great price
  6. This thing has been bouncing around in my gear bag for several years. I’ve literally never used it once. It’s got to go. $50 + $10 if shipping. $25 + $10 shipping if you tell me it’s for a youth hunter. Mike 928.607.6327
  7. I’m thinking you are about right. you are right about them being heavy. But man are they nice if you are close to the car. We had the Highlanders, BTX/115mm, BTX/95mm, and Swaro twin spotters on a hill one evening. The Highlanders are still the best. Although the twin spotters seemed similar I’d give the edge to the 115. And the BTX is more friendly for multiple users.
  8. Selling for a friend. These are in excellent condition. We compared the Highlanders to the Swarovski BTX/115mm. We were looking at leak from 3 to 7 miles until dark. The Highlanders still rule. There was a distinct difference in optical clarity and less heat waves with the Kowa. This set up is about $6,000 most places Did I mention they are Flouride! I’m in flag but will be going to Tucson and back next week. Mike 928.607.6327

    FPS Data

    Do you trust your chronograph readings? Personally with the data you listed I can’t see any reason to not trust it. If you trust the data the low value was a real number that affects your ES and SD…statistically you can’t simply through the low value out without a really good explanation of why that data point is bad. the totality of the data represents real world numbers. You should use all of your data and use it as your velocity. You might not be happy with it but you’ll be better off using the actual numbers rather then trying to fudge them. If you don’t like it work up a different load.

    New Hornady 300 RCM brass: SOLD

    Still available. Someone must need these for 6.5 PRC with hunting season coming.
  11. I bought these to make 6.5 PRC brass out of them but they shipped my back ordered PRC brass before I could get around to it. I’ll ship on your dime. Mike Flagstaff 928.607.6327

    Did the Swaros seem to help improve your bad eyes?

    New to long range

    I only wish that were always true.

    Reloading for longrange neck size or full size?

    For hunting I like a 0.002” shoulder set back to a slight crush fit. I never FL resize bottle neck rifle rounds. eventually with neck sizing you’ll have to at least partially FL size to get it back into spec. i don’t believe hardly any competitive shooter neck size any more.

    Which shooting rest/bipod??

    Lance, It seems like the one picture is when you daughter killed that Toad 12A buck?...nice I really like my Spartan. I kinda like my Rugged Ridge. Personally I'm so-so on harris. I also like atlas.
  16. This is for a friend. Excellent condition. The Zeiss RFs simply blow Swaro out of the water…and I’m all green.

    Zeiss 10x45 RF gen 1: Now $1500

    Wow. This is a heck of a deal. Seriously for a RF binoc the Zeiss are far and away the best there is. And I own Swaro 8x25, 8x32el, 10x42 el, 12x50el, and 15x56HD. I might sell my 10x42’s and buy these.
