  1. I own a couple of these, selling this one. I did mount this but didn't use it. Need to go with a bit more magnification for the rifle I'm putting together so this one is for sale Top of Weavers line scope. EBX Reticle for windage and drop compensation One inch tube Made in Japan. Quality glass and construction On par with my leupold vx 3 and I think better low light than my vortex viper. Point is this is good glass. Comes with everything as new I have some older style weaver rings I'll include Prefer not to ship I'm in north phoenix
  2. Sorry didn't see you post Cave creek and deer valley

    Tika T3 lite 243

    Is it the weave grand slam? I really like weaver scopes. I agree rings are important but I those stock tikka rings might be just fine a light shooting .243 I'd say 700 good.
  4. This may be the wrong category to post this but I'm interested in a ruger 204 for varmit hunting. I've herad it's such a hot round that it smokes a barrel fairly quick. I do t know how many rounds that actually means but does a bull barrel extend life of barrel.? With a small round like a 204 would a sporter barrel be more likely to produce flyers?

    Shoot to 100yrd?

    I have an entry level bow. Pse stinger 3G. Drop away rest and five pin sight is my upgrade. Oh and a winner choice string when it was time to replace So it's rated to shoot 308 FPS and I'm at 70lbs and 30 in. So let's say I get actually 285 FPS. I can shoot confidently to 60 yards. Well actually 50 I'm accurate and consistent 60 I can do but it does widen out A buddy and I stacked our targets on top of each other and shot to 70. Both of us aimed at top target and both hit the very bottom if not the dirt on bottom target. A huge drop. He has a bear anarchy I've heard quite a few guys say they can put it in a pie plate to 100. And I have no reason to not believe it. I'm sure it can be done and done ethically. I don't shoot my rifle to 1000 because I'm not set up for it but I know people do it well So my question is do I drop that much at 70 because I have a slower entry level bow? And if is that a person needs a 350FPS rocket bow then how do you have room in your sight for the pins to 100. I know they have 7 pin sights but the separation between 70 and 80 and 90 etc has to be significant enought that there isn't room in the sight to have those pins. Even if you use one pin foe 20 to 40 and the rest up to 100. IT still has have lots of room between pins I've stalked a buck to 100 twice and I personally couldn't imagine taking that shot but I'd like to learn how it's done. To be clear. I'm not saying those shots can't or shouldn't be done. Not calling people out. Just want to know if it's equipment and what kind of speed do you need to reach out that far I'm not selling my old pse stinger until I kill something with it,So until then I'll just keep working on getting better with my own hunting skills
  6. Any know who makes head space guage for a 257 bee I have a hornady headspace tool but no bushings for 257 are made by hornady I was hoping another companies bushing for 257 would fit my hornady guage

    8x or 10x BINOCULARS

    8 have a better exit pupil and will let be brighter if same brand as 10. For hand helds I like 8. Wobble less and you will see the same as 10 in regards to spotting an animal you do or don't want to hunt. My opinion. But do check exit pupil
  8. Is it standard size? 13.5 LOP? 24 inch barrel Does it shoot any ammo or is it kinda finicky and like a particulars hand load.
  9. These are like new and in perfect condition. No scratches at all and are about 2 months old. These are surprisingly excellent glass. I'm on the fence even selling them but I got a real nice Xmas gift of hand helds and I just don't see myself using them When I bought them I compared to nikon monarch 5 and vortex talon and luepold cascade They were simply better. I was so surprised I didn't buy them and went back the next day to confirm and they were brighter and clearer. So I got them Basspro says these are made by Vortex but I have knowledge of that being true I paid $330 new and these have everything as if new in the box These are e bass pro name brand so they have a good warranty. This is the highest end with ED glass I'm a fan I'd 8's over 10's. I like the larger FOV and exit pupil for brightness No trades I'm in north phx

    Slick trick noise

    So I was testing my slick trick and they fly straight and true. Maybe little lower than field point but whatever However. They were fairly loud. Is that a concern for a deer jumping them? I shot swacker mechanical and they were very quiet but Ive heard such good things from the slick trick I'm into my thirds year bow hunting. So I'm a rookie. Never shoot at a deer yet. But this is my year. Good luck to all

    Slick trick noise

    Nice buck. And I think you're right. I shot a bunch over past month and I agree I think it was fetching. Info like the way slick trick fly. I hope a buck cooperates with me in he next couple weeks Haha
  12. Got this as a gift. Don't need it for my atv. I opened it to take pics. Never mounted. Not really interested in trades Don't want to ship

    What caliber of new rifle do I buy?

    257 wby. You won't get an elk tag before you want a second rifle so this is plenty and some say you can take an elk with it. I don't agree unless 300 yards and under. Pick up a vanguard for $500 and spend all you can on a scope. They shoot accurate and reliable Then just go shoot. Or better yet like desert bull said reload. I'm a novice still on reload but it's greatly improved accuracy once you find the load Firstcoues80 encouraged me on 257 wby and I love it

    gone

    We have 5 year old artificial tree. From paddock pool. New it was $800 It has a stand and the box it cane in. The tree is 9ft and the box is the size of a fridge It's a great looking tree. We did have a couple stands of lights go out this year so we strung some additional lights on. It is not in perfect condition. Has lost some needles and I assume it will lose more pre strung lights but you can always wrap a few more on If a church or charity wants it's. I will deliver to that location for free if someone just wants it I live near cave creek road and 101 or work near bethany home and 12th St Hope it can find a home

    Target Panic Cure?

    Not knowing what TP is, it's probably stupid for me to even respond. but if TP is like the Yips in golf where you jerk the putter at the moment of impact, I know that having a few beers on the course gets it out of my system. kind of a low brow bit of advice, but maybe worth a try. hope you get it fixed and don't quit. Good luck!

    Tactic advice

    So some of you may have read some of my post over the past three years about my efforts to learn how to bow hunt In summary, I have been lucky enough to chase the same mule deer buck for the past three yeas. This being the third while I learn this sport I need some advice I pretty much always find him on the same sloping face under a north facing saddle. It's in open juniper country and he almost always has the wind at his back and he looks down hill. He has about ten does withhim every year I haven't hunted him yet this year because I tagged on rifle but I have gone and found him three times this year in the past two weeks. I'm waiting for January I've tried in years past to sit on my but and scoot slowly with my bow in my lap and after three hours the best I've made is 100 yards near him and then a magic door opened up and he vanished behind jumper. Usually his does bust me well before. I've belly crawled and leap frogged from bush to bush in every manner I can think. And have the prickley pear needles to prove it Then I tried coming over the back with the wind at my back. I had scent wafers and sent spray on and he winds me asap and jams. He isn't the best buck in the world but he is "my" buck. Old 3x3 white face and good wide tall mass. I am possessed with him So I can't seem to stalk him. Should I get in an hour or more before dark and hide on the face I normal see him bed on. Or there is cut he travels up and over the saddle sometimes should I ambush there ? I know there is no real answer but I keep doing the same thing and he beats me I have huge respect for him. Almost don't want to kill him because I've watched him for so much and he has bested me so often that he has my true respect But he would be my first bow deer and it would be so cool to finally mount him on the wall to remember all the great hunts My buddy said I should stay off to the north of him down hill in the flat and he could come over the top behind him where the wind blows into the buck and see if he kicks toward me He is a mule deer should I rattle or call. I heard mule don't respond much to rattle Sorry for the long txt. Any advice or tips would be fun to read. And oh, if anyone shoots my deer I will cry for weeks. Haha Pic of him bedded with his girls and one of him moving up hill

    Tactic advice

    Yea I'm almost always going up hill to him. If I come down hill e wind is at my back. Anyone use those decoys? I thought they were mostly for antelope I could set a blind but I'm afraid this late the smell will move him to a different place to bed and it will no good
