And the Varget is gone.......

I'll take the 1X fired Win brass, if still available. I don't want to step on any toes, but I can't tell which Win brass Smith2260 is referring to because his message was a PM. If the 1x Win brass is spoken for, then I would offer $100 for 200 (half) of the FC brass.

Is this just for field points, or can broadheads be used as well?

Letting go of another project. This is a Tikka long magnum action with bolt stop and magazine designed for a long cartridge, but medium cartridges will also work well. This action came off a T3X rifle originally chambered in 300 Win Mag. The action with the magnum bolt face has been improved/modified with a trigger spring kit and a fluted bolt done by Long Rifles, Inc. The latter is a $75 upgrade. These rifles/actions are becoming increasingly popular to build on because of their smooth actions and the availability of pre-fit barrels. Several custom barrel makers are now making reasonably priced carbon and stainless steeel pre-fit barrels that can be installed by the average guy. No more paying the high fees and long wait times for fitting your custom barrel by the gunsmith. Also available with the complete action are a Leupold 20 MOA rail and Seekins Precision 30mm Low Rings. The heavy duty front ring has 6 screws and the back ring has 4 screws. Price for complete set up as pictured is: $900 Price for just the complete action/fluted bolt/trigger/bottom metal w/magazine is $775 (remember the trigger & bolt upgrades) Will not sell rings or base separately until action is sold. Not looking for any trades at this time. The first "I'll take it" posted in this thread trumps any PMs, texts or voice mail messages. That way, everything is done out in the open and nobody can come in behind you to undercut your place in line. That's just the way I roll. PM, text or call me with any questions you may have. Karl 602-361-7191. I am out and about today with a busy schedule, so I may not be able to respond as quickly as I normally would.

I got this in trade a couple months back. I have little need for another 223, so this one goes up for sale. It is used, but appears to be in great condition. Metal and finish is 98%; the stock has some very light marring from safe rub, but is hardly visible to the naked eye. There is one ding in the stock that is visible in the last picture showing the caliber stamp on the barrel. Round count was represented as low at time of trade. I have not had any time to shoot the rifle myself, but Tikkas have a reputation for being fairly accurate. Comes with bases and medium height 1" rings that should accommodate up to 50mm scope objective. price is $650. Not looking for much in the way of trades right now, except for maybe a Frankford Arsenal Platinum Case Prep Center, or a Lee or RCBS hand primer. Lowballers - please walk on by. First "I'll take it" in the thread trumps any PM or text messages. It's the only way I know of to keep everything above board and ensure you that another deal is not done behind your back after you have accepted the price. I live in N Phx / Sctsdl area, but I am willing to meet in the middle of metro Phx area to get the deal done.

I will let you know. Due to an injury, I can no longer pull a string back. I just get my crossbow permit approved by AZGFD. For the first time in four years, I will be putting archery hunts back on the menu. My new crossbow is a second-hand Scorpyd Nemesis. They feel and shoot more like a rifle than a bow.

I had one on my bow for several years before injury forced me to sell my bow. It did not disappoint. As with all rangefinders, you need to take care to ensure you only get readings from your target. The real benefit for me was the reduction of hand motion. No more lifting the rangefinder, ranging , then dropping the rangefinder back down, then getting your release on the string and pulling the string back. The Garmin lets you pull back the string, then tap the button and your target dot appears. No more guessing distance or splitting pins. Simple. I was missing too many opportunities at game where they were already on alert. Never got to use it in an actual hunting situation as my injury occurred before I could get drawn.

A guy over on longrangehunting.com has posted in the 'guns for sale' section of their classifieds about a rile that was found this past Weds/Thurs in the Behm Mesa area near Bagdad. It's a custom LR rig built on a factory action. If this might be yours, get in contact with him.

Youth deer hunt opened this weekend. Could be he wrote it off for now and is hunting with backup??

Let's get this sold. If someone might be interested in this rifle just for the action, I can save you the gunsmith charge by pulling the barrel for you. Action, barrel and stock for $600. Sell the stock and barrel and you have a low basis in the remaining action. Just a thought.

This scope came off a rifle I recently purchased from a CWT member. I mounted a different scope on that rifle, so I need to find a new home for this one. The Bushnell Engage scope appears to be near new in terms of condition. The glass is pristine. It comes with an MOA reticle and turrets. I don't know a lot about these scopes, but they seem to be a good bang for the buck for the budget-minded shooting looking to get into some long range shooting. Comes with original box and all paperwork. I did some research and the best price I could find on line for a new one was $430 plus shipping and/or taxes. Price is $325 OBO. Reply below, text or call: 602-361-7101. An "I'll take it" in this thread trumps any PM's or text messages. Not looking for trades at this time. Located in the N Phx area near Tatum & 56th Street.

I have a brand new Spot Hogg Keeton release. Shoulder injury forces me to sell my archery gear. I bought this release just prior to my injury, so it never got used. The third picture shows the pristine strap with no crease or hole enlargement from buckle usage. This is a fantastic release, but I have no use for it now. This release sells for $129 + tax or shipping. Asking price: $100.

Sold to Northj

I don't see any twist rate stamped on the barrel. I used my bore scope to follow a single land for one full revolution and the distance cme out to be... wait for it.... 11". I repeated this exercise four times - and each time it came out to be 11". I know Tikka made both 10" & 12" twist, so you be the judge.

I had to lookup the difference. This rifle appears to be a T3X. The stock has a torx screw head in the bottom of the pistol grip and another in the center of the forearm.. IMG_1017.MOV

Back onthe market. Buyer doesn't know when he can come pick it up.

In his original post, Scotty27 asked to be pointed in a general direction. He didn't ask anyone to reveal their 'honey hole' or 'secret place'. My grandpa taught me to hunt and a few things have stuck with me. He said (paraphrase) hunting is not about antlers or horns. It's about creating memories and building relationships. He must have been right, because the relationship he built with me has lasted through the years. He passed 48 years ago - and those memories of him still bring a smile to my face. For most of us, this website has provided us with a platform to discuss our passion and learn to become better hunters. But the real benefit, at least for me, has been the number of great men and women I have met here (yes Amanda, this includes you). At this point, many have become my friends. I do not have a clue, nor do I care, what their religious beliefs are. These are amazing people that I would never have met had it not been for coueswhitetail.com My life is richer. For me, the big takeaway from Scotty27's post was that this young man was excited about going hunting with his dad. That told me all I needed to know about him. Some people collect antlers. Other people collect friends. Welcome aboard Scotty27. I hope you stick around. There are lots of great people on here. Just give it some time and they will rise to the surface.

If I knew unit 33 at all, I would be happy to share that info with you. I suspect Coues deer can be found throughout the unit. But I have found they are usually located in pockets. Use google earth as a starting point to locate the water - the more remote, the better. Check these water holes for prints to confirm they are there in sufficient numbers. Now you have a place to start. They seem to like the ocotillo patches for some reason. in the morning, they will be bedded on the northwest side of mountains in the shade. Mid to late after noon, they often switch to the northeast side, depending on the terrain. Best of luck and welcome home.
