    New 6.5 SLR Build

    HA! Glad I read this it is pretty much the same results I was seeing with the 6.5-284, 2,950 looks like it is where it is at.

    Mexican fan tail myth?

    Yep! Did this last year on the deer my buddy shot in Mex... it looked big due to the proportions and it was very grey unlike most of the other deer we saw. It eeked out 101-102" because of a few extra inches in kickkers but was probably 98" without them, I really thought it was 110ish or better.

    I would love to do this! What month do you all plan on booking the hunt? How many days?

    New 6.5 SLR Stock Paint Options?

    Ya, that Kuiu pattern is awesome. I think you can get it dipped that way now so more guns are showing up with it.

    Best Ranges in AZ?

    I have only shot at Ben Avery,PHX R&G, and Rio Salado which are both useful for working on new loads, setting up a new scope, or other short range work. I have my own steel and equipment so I end up shooting long range on my own. A range where you could shoot long range would be awesome! I also have to say that Rio Salado (I was a member) is a horrible place to go and take new shooters or young shooters. A couple of those guys have huge chips on their shoulders and look for every opportunity to wield their power and yell or belittle the people who show up. I know it is a safety issue but I have been shooting all of my life, have thick skin, and don't intimidate easily, and they have made me uncomfortable when they are dressing down a guy walking in or a someone next to me. Seems I have a story about every other time I head out there. One last thing... How hard is it to have rifle shooters on one side and hand guns or semi-autos on the other. Again Rio used to be good at this a long time ago but now I am almost guaranteed to have a guy throwing pistol or AR cases at me the entire time I am shooting. Sorry to vent but those are the things that make my range time less enjoyable and are probably pretty easy to fix.

    Scoped! Who has been on the other side?

    That sucks! Haven't done that since I was a kid and hope not to for as long as I can help it.

    Jim White Head Question

    I am at a loss... The bottom looks similar to the standard tripod head. May need the panning attachment. Maybe Amanda will take a look and chime in.

    Jim White Head Question

    That hole right there in the front on your picture, it has that little cut across it. Unless I am looking at this all wrong? Isn't this the one you have: http://store.coueswhitetail.com/ball-tripod-head-with-handle/
  9. Call Mr. Silencer he is in AZ and very easy to deal with. The stamps really depend mine took forever last year because so many people were in a hurry to get them.

    Jim White Head Question

    That is the tripod head with the handle missing which Amanda had in stock. Of course you have to mount it to the tripod via the screw on the top, you may have to remove the outside threaded portion, there are two common sizes for the threads.

    Train to Hunt?

    Looks like a great competition.

    Turret Question

    I would start with Vortex and give them a call and ask them about your options. I am sure you are not the first to ask this question.

    Nope! Just didn't have time this year with travel for work. This is brilliant though! My plan for next year.

    Fur handling

    I hate to jump on someone else's post but i am curious what the best way is to learn how to care for the hides. I haven't doe much varmint calling in the last few years but have a few spot up on the rim where I have had a good number of Bobcats on camera and a badger den that was dug fresh this year. Weeding through the junk on you tube is a challenge so any advice would be welcome.

    Turret Question

    I always dial for both but if possible would rather set up to limit the impact from the wind since it is often not consistent. I like the idea of the custom turret and a lot of people use them but I have yet to put one on my rifle. You probably don't need a turret for wind if you print out a small chart and tape it to your rifle stock for reference. I personally never even thought about a turret for windage. I would order the tape version before getting a laser etched one. If you havent already learned to use the "shooter" app or similar I would spend my time there before getting a turret. Just learning the app teaches you an awful lot and it is very simple to use in the filed for any and all conditions IMHO.

    Chapstick, bandaids, eye drops, extra set of contacts or glasses.

    Crispi Boots

    I want to try Crispi as well. I have had the same issues as you but the European boots tend to run a little narrower so the heel usually fits better. Go check the sale section on their page for some pretty good discounts. I have worn Zamberlan and Asolo. So far the Asolo just plain fit better than anything else I have tried.

    ASU

    He should have done it earlier. Agreed! Kelly sucked it looked like he was hurt or just not in the game. I think he did not want to miss his last game and tried to play and might should have not been out there. No excuses they got beat and the defense that played so great most of the year got burned over and over. Championship game should be a good one!

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving! area33 you gotta like Happy Holidays! It is often an attempt by the ignorant to avoid saying Christmas but they end up greeting people with Happy-Holy-Days which is what the word means.

    Straight vs Angled eye piece

    I have an angled one now and miss the straight for quick target acquisition and for going back and forth with the binos. However, the angled is an advantage for long term viewing and for some reason seems to be easier to let others look through. I guess itis easier to bend your neck than to crouch behind a straight scope.

    My Mexico "Double-double" bucks are back

    Very nice! What a great display.
  23. buy some really good inserts and the support will be better than what is any off the shelf boot. REI has a few brands or checkout Lathrop on line.
  24. I have been wearing these as well as a pair of Zamberlan's. It really is all about fit. I have a slightly narrow foot so the U.S. mfg's always end up too wide. I tend to also stay away from insulated boots unless it is very cold. My feet sweat which is miserable in an insulated boot and actually ends up making them colder than a boot that breathes really well. I think I am going to give the Salomon's a try for just hiking and general outdoor wear. They are kind if a cross between a boot and a running shoe so we will see how comfortable they are.
