Borden makes a great action. I have one of their stocks as well. I like what I read about thatNWP action and that is a very good deal as well.

Once I can get both trailers in the same place I will try and set something up with you. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

Fantastic fish!

I just read that it was only a couple of lakes on another site. Yes it is good I didn't shoot them!

I got one! Well I finally got a deck built and got out to Pleasant Thursday night. I saw a fair amount of fish moving out of the larger coves. I still have not figured out how deep you can go after them when you see school moving out of an area. I was just waiting to catch singles up in the shallow areas. I saw a few cats also but again didn't have the confidence to shoot deeper. This is very addicting so I will be making a few changes to the deck and eventually try and have one made of aluminium. I am going to add a few lights to the back also so I can put my dad back there to chase the bass. I saw plenty of bass on my last two outings and some real toads cruising around at night. Sorry no pics, now that I have hit one I will be ready next trip. Thanks for the advice bowfishAZ!

I saw these pics and thought those birds could never choke down those crappie and then... I was at Saguaro Lake two weeks ago and saw on eat a small duck right next to the dock. I did not have a camera but did watch him carry it around by the neck with its feet flopping around. The duck was about half grown, so he size of a full grown Teal at least. Those things are amazingly tough and aggressive!

If DCS changes his mind let me know and I will take the rain gear. Thanks!

Buy carlock's reloading for long range DVD it is worth every dime. There is a ton of stuff on the web as well. For a 270 recipe pick a bullet you want to try and then get the mfg recommendations for reloads. If you like the SST start with that and look up the Hornady reloading info.

What draw length? How much you looking for?

I have an Athens right now and really like it. Also, a PSE bowfishing rig.

Wow! beautiful gun!

I had the same question what does it cost to do the bearings on a single axle?

I may try and make a run out to Rosey tomorrow evening. Any preference on which end of the lake to hit? Thinking I might try and be out there by 5 or 6 and see how things go for 3-4 hours. I got lights to rig up temporarily and will just stand on a big ice chest for my trial run.

Wow! great deal! I am almost finished with a build on a similar gun. Surely this will get snapped up it is almost like getting a free scope with to go with a great rifle.

You might also consider a trip to Lee's Ferry and rent a boat. We just got back and it was awesome. The help I got from all the members here was excellent and really helped us get started right of the bat the very first day catching fish. The scenery also makes it a pretty special destination.

For smallies any of the entrances from the San Carlos side will be good. Grab a map and head towards Point of Pines. You will want to go to the west side, Ten of Diamonds and Malay were great for both trout and smallies but even last year fishing was not very good. CP covered most of the baits. Rebel Craw, Rapala's, Slash baits, small white or black jigs (Yum or Power Bait can be fish magnets), also worms. You may only want to do lures but a box of nightcrawlers can make a bad day a good day. Good luck and watch out for the bears! (seriously watch out for bears, they are everywhere along the river)

okay thanks for the advice! may have to run out to Rosey...

okay thanks! I am going to try and work in something temporary this week. Are Saguaro or Canyon any good? They are a closer since I am in the east valley.

Fantastic! Obviously you are doing a great job with them! Keep up the good work we all know it ain't easy.

Anyone going out this week? I am not traveling this week so I want to try and get out one evening. ] Can I get away with a couple of home depot flow lights and a small generator? I plan to order some LED flood lights so I can have 4-5 on the bow but I still have to rearrange my batteries and figure out how I will mount them. After that I may try and figure out how to setup a higher lookout but that will take time. Anyway I have a bow and a boat I am dying to get out and figure out how to get started.

will do!

Checking for interest. Douglas #5 barrel (about 700 shots down the tube) Redding 6/284 full length die set I just removed a 6-284 barrel from a remington action. I dont have any pics because everything is still up at my place in Pinetop. I am estimating the shot count, the original owner told me about 500 and I have only put ~200 more through it. The barrel has the lug still attached. The gun still shot great so I believe the barrel has plenty of life. I did not compete or go out and shoot any really long strings with this gun and it wasn't used with a bunch of heavy max loads, no barrel burner type activities. If someone is interested in giving the round a try I will throw in a few boxes of different 6mm varmint bullets (nosler, sierra, hornady) The die set alone costs $150 since it is not a standard caliber. I am putting this out there to see if anyone wants to try the caliber. It is an awesome javalina rifle, 243 on steroids! I have taken both javi and Coues with the rifle. We are turning the action into a 6.5/284 for my daughters so I wont be using these die/barrel anymore.

Here are a couple of pics... Hornady bullets have ~20 std & `30 of the moly coated, the sierra's have ~75 bullets.

okay, PM me your info and I will get in contact this week. I am in no hurry let me know when you want to pick everything up. Probably dont want to ship it is oversize on the barrel and last time I went to UPS it was silly expensive. When I went to check I have the die. I thought I took them to PT but at some point I put them back in their box. They still have the original paperwork and the sticker.

Buy the Barebones LED forest lantern. My wife got me one for Christmas and it is the best non gas lantern I have ever had. 325 lumens, dimmable, rechargeable, and you can charge your cell phone or other gear using the lantern battery. Seems sturdy as well. I have another D-cell battery lantern but I am really tired of alkaline batteries, especially D and C cell which are just wasted space, weight, and expense.
