I bought one from Don at Remchester years ago and he is a great dog that loves to please and was very easy to train. I just brought a Springer puppy into my home about 6 weeks ago and he treated him like one of his pups. I highly recommend Remchester. David http://remchesterbrittanys.com/

Can anybody recommend some good antelope videos that show the best way to judge a buck and the best ways to hunt them. I drew an archery antelope tag and have never had the opportunity to go out and actually hunt them. David

Buy all of the Primos elk hunting videos and watch them as much as possible. You will learn more from them than most can tell you. They will even teach you how to call. David

I am going to get that video from Amanda and try to find some others, plus some books. Marvin I am pretty patient when it comes to hunting, so I plan on holding out for a good buck. I just need to figure out all the tricks of the trade. Thanks for all the replys. David

You hear on some of the websites about rifle that are "Tack Drivers", just another name for a rifle that is very accurate. Since we have the weekend to wait for the draw results, I would like to hear some of the other names that you have heard people calling there rilfe that can shoot lights out. David

The archery gods have been nice to me lately and this year was not exception. I drew an archery antelope tag, but no elk. I can't complain about the elk since I had one last year. I drew this tag with only 6 points. Tag number 4. David

Check out Bruno's shooters supply off of central ave just south of Deer Valley. They probably have everything you need to build a rifle. Or you could buy one already built from them. David http://www.brunoshooters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=BSS

I have 65 Hornady 6mm 105 grain A-max bullets that I would like to trade for some 87 grain v-max's. David

I am doing a little research and was wondering if you could post your current tripod head. Just post the name and model number. Thanks for the help. David IE: Manfrotto 700rc2

I will be there for sure. If anybody else is going, take a look at my LOC JAW set up. I donated one for the banquet. David

Thanks guys for the involvement. Lets keep this thing going and see which scope is the most popular. David

Thank you for the feedback, anybody else have any input on what they use. David

I just picked up this upper about 2 months ago with plans to make it into my long range .223 coyote sniper, but since I just picked up another one that I like even better, I am going to let this one go. This upper has less than 25 rounds through it. The barrel is a stainless 24 inch bull barrel made by Lothar Walther, with a full float forearm. The lower is a Rock River LAR-15 with an ACE Socom 5 position stock. I do not know what the trigger group is, but I am assuming it is Rock River. I am including two 30 round magazines with the rifle. I am willing to take an XDm 3.8 9mm in partial trade. $1200.00obo

For the last three and a half years I have wanted to get a .243wssm upper for my AR from a company called Dedicated Technologies, but there is a 14 month backorder on his uppers. Finally a couple weeks ago I found a guy selling one here in AZ and jumped on it. The entire gun weighs ten pounds with the scope and will shoot a 55 grain 6mm bullet at over 4000fps. I worked up some loads this past Sunday using 87 grain vmax bullets with a bullet coefficient of .400 and some RL17. My book shows this round to be right around 3200 fps. If this upper works out for me, I plan on ordering a 300 wssm from him. David Left to Right: .223Rem .243Rem .243WSSM .300WSM

I will take the shotgun if it is still available. Shoot me a PM with your number. David

This was my first year hitting the show and I was a little overwelmed to say the least. You could walk for miles and still not visit every booth. The optics world is really stepping up to the plate and producing some outstanding products. Like Doug, I also had the opportunity to look through the new Nikon EDG binos and was very impressed. They already redesigned them since they were first released a couple years ago. I can't wait until next year and plan my time a little better. David

Myself and two other buddies got out this morning and put the hammer down. I partnered up with one and my other buddy went to check out another spot. On his way to meet back up with us about 9am he found four pigs hanging out and made a stalk and poked one at 40 yards. We tried to get on the herd, but lost them. We then headed out to where I saw three yesterday and instantly found them. It took us about an hour and a half to get close to one of them. I let my buddy take the first shot and he missed. They spooked, but we got right back onto them. I was able to shoot one at forty yards, and a couple minutes later my buddy got his at twenty. I wish I could have gotten a picture of all three together. Check out the feet on that sucker. David

I agree with Casey on the Buckhorn 209 and Barnes bullets. I really got into muzzle loading last year when I drew the December tag. I probably shot 50 rounds through my gun before the hunt started. One thing you might try is to find the charge that your gun likes and then weigh each one for your upcoming hunt. I found some small plastic bolt containers at Harbor Frieght that worked great for holding each charge. One other item I found to really help me was the SpinJag. This made seating the bullet much easier and helped with accuracy. Make sure you get the starter as well. I even lapped the barrel on my rifle and then heated it up in my barbecue and coated the inside of the barrel with a teflon based lube and let it cool on its own. This helped with seating the bullet and also increased my muzzle velocity. My gun is the Encore, but take some time and fool around with yours until it is accurate for you. I was shooting aluminum cans with mine last year at 200 yards and could easily put it into a 4in circle at 300 yards. Hope this helps you out. David http://www.spinjag.com/index.php

The one that Bass Pro has made for them is made out of plastic, not aluminum like the one with the Nikon name. Remember, you get what you pay for in the end. David

Bass Pro carries one made by Nikon. It is one of the better ones made out of aluminum and I think it is $24.99. David

The .44 has found a new home. David

I bought 3 lever action rifles a while back in order to get the one I really wanted. I don't think I will be shootin these in the near future. Both rifles have not been shot in over 25 years and stored correctly. The first one is a Marlin 1895 chambered in 45/70 govt. It was built in 1971 and released in 72. It has a first year built B Zero serial number and is only a four digit number. One of the special items about this gun is that it has the "Ballard" rifling and a Douglas barrel. The rifling is much better for guys who like to reload with the cast bullets. They only used these barrels on a limited amount of guns in the first year. I would rate this gun at 98%, and I am not for sure if it has even been shot. $700.00 I don't think there is anything I want to trade for at this time. The next gun is a Marlin 1894 Saddlering chambered in .44 magnum. This saddlering gun was only built between 69-72. The serial number shows it to be built in 1972. Again this rifle has not been fired in over 25 years and stored the same way. The is micro-grooved and has very few rounds down the tube. Very nice gun that is close to 98%. $600.00 David Here is the gun I had to have. I got it for my boys and I think they are going to have a blast with it. The action is the smoothest I have ever felt on a lever action. It is an Ithaca model 72 Saddlegun .22lr with the original box. It has been fired, but very little. These are a little rare and the first I have seen.

The video is slow to start but gets good. This guy has got some guts, or he hasn't gotten married yet. David http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2010/11/30

That gun is similar to the Rem 700 SPS Tactical I recently got. It is a very good shooter when I do my part. It seems to like 150's better than the 168's. David http://www.remington.com/products/firearms...s-tactical.aspx
