How does the 6 MOA dot compare to the 3 MOA for pistol? Was looking at this in the 3 MOA, but am now curious since I sold my Defender CCW and this has the DPP footprint that fits my P320

Unfortunately, only USFS lands were removed from the bill. BLM lands within 5 (?) miles of cities (paraphrasing) is still on the table. The Parliamentarian could only throw out so much, so Jackwagon Lee left BLM lands on the table. Apparently, he doesn't realize (doesn't care) that BLM land makes up just as much, if not more in some areas, Federal lands being used by all in the west as USFS lands. And last I saw the suppressor thing was still in there.

I was able to get an excellent load working for my son's 7PRC with Barnes 160gr LRX this weekend, so I no longer need the Barnes 168 LRXs I have. I have three unopened boxes of the 168s. $40/box. If you buy the whole lot, I'll cover shipping to you. In Flagstaff. Will be coming south July 4 to catch a flight.

Bought this Bushnell for my .22, mounted it, sighted it in, and decided I didn't like it. Been to the range once. Mint condition. Upgraded the rings it came with (not ones in picture) and will include those and the Butler Creek caps. $100 to your door.

I have 2lbs of RL16 that I no longer need. One bottle is unopened and the other has probably 10 rounds worth of powder used. $60/bottle. F2F only. In Flagstaff. Will be in north Phoenix tomorrow (1/25) at Reach 11 Sports Park from about 10am-2pm. Can bring it with me if you can meet me there. Otherwise, I'll be traveling to Tucson and back Feb 13-15 (maybe 16th). $55/bottle or trade for unopened/barely used RL23 or RL26. Probably won't see replies tonight, so please PM me so I get email notifications to check early tomorrow. Leaving Flagstaff around 0730 tomorrow morning.

I thought the pic I had from helping with a research project in Chiricahua NM was me holding the blactail by its tail, but its me with it in my hook. I had it by its tail, but others were freaking out, so I played nice. Other blacktail pics are from the Santa Ritas and Huachucas. Chiricahua NM Scheelite Canyon, Ft Huachuca Madera Canyon, right off a popular trail Scotia Canyon, Huachuca Mts Right outside Ft Huachuca West Gate They all got defensive and rattled like crazy once I started messing with them, but they were never aggressive or eager to strike. In fact, all of these barely rattled at all when we walked past them. Like barely two tail twitches.

And that could be a product of SE AZ blacktails vs the rest of the state. I've encountered them in the all of the Sky Islands, except for the Pinalenos and everyone was about as docile as they come. Most barely rattled and were content staying quiet until I started messing with them. I've been the third person hiking out of a canyon at night and stepped within 2 inches of a blacktail and it only rattled a couple of shakes after I was past it. I was doing spotted owl surveys on Ft Huachuca many years ago and ended up sharing an abandoned cabin with one and my dog. I relocated it safely out of the cabin and down the canyon and it was all "Hey, cool view from up here!". I'll find that picture of me holding one by its tail when I get to my office tomorrow. I miss seeing blacktails, especially in SE AZ where they are so yellow in color.

What kind of blacktail info are you wanting? And you're talking blacktail rattlesnake (C. molossus) and not AZ Blacks, right? I've never had issues with blacktails being mean or aggressive in AZ. In fact, most of the specimens I've encountered barely rattled to let us know they were there and they were very docile when handled. I actually used to grab them by the tail and pick them up. I have a picture of that somewhere, too, from down in the Chiricahaus. The blacktails in west Texas were a whole other ballgame, though. They were aggressive AF and would strike like crazy. We had a a set of young Mohaves from west Texas with the neurotoxin. They were born in captivity to a 4-foot female that was captured near Hueco Tanks. It was fun to watch feeding time. It gave you a good perspective as to how lethal the Mojave toxin is. They would strike the mice we fed them, the mice would jump straight up, and hit the bottom of the tank dead with minimal twitching, if any. One of those beauties escaped on me during feeding time once. It hit the ground at my feet and went under some tanks/tubs on the floor. I had to go and lock myself in a 7x15 room with it and start moving tanks, tubs, and cans around to get it back in its cage. That was kind of unnerving.
