I think it is a walrus with fur, sure that's a bear? Great pic, thanks!

H1000 and Berger 168's shoot great in my gun. I don't have the powder charge info handy until the end of the week. I think I posted this before so you might search past posts.

Wow! Actual water not just mud. That is really great to see, let's hope it keeps filling. With all the grass may be a home run for the ducks! Thanks for the update!

Well done! I be proud to hang that one on the wall!

I am a Swaro die hard and I think you made a great purchase. The Razor line from Vortex are all great products. Happy hunting!

Any base or ring combo will work. Most would probably prefer a one piece base and it would be easy to go with the Vortex rings and use their customer service help. The easiest rings to work with are probably Burris Signature rings since the floating plastic inserts insure you wont pinch the scope tube and if necessary you can use the offset rings for alignemnt, take a look at their site for details. For a bipod Harris is the standard, the Caldwell ones also work and cost less but are slightly less refined than the Harris version. Mounting them is a non-issue if you already have a sling stud to work with on your stock.

Uhhhh. Wisconsin's coach even said they screwed up and that is not what they practice 100's of times. He said they always spike the ball. Now he was not agreeing with the ref but when people jump on and talk about embarrassed fans it is just sour grapes. Clearly it was a stupid series of events from top to bottom which is why the horrible refs were in disarray. I do agree the refs need to find new jobs, they aren't good at this one! I actually don't think it matters for either team as their schedules don't give them much hope of playing for a rose bowl spot anyway. Wisconsin will lose a few they are not that good and the ASU schedule is fantastically difficult. I just hope they beat Notre Dame and UofA. 😀

25-06 may be another really good choice or you could do the 308 case but with a little bit more speed 7mm-08. Light recoil, popular youth model caliber. Let us know what you go with, sounds like a great project!

Beautiful pup! What a great color.

The refs were horrible and I am not a whine about the refs guy! Remember they had just blown an out of bounds call the play before where Wis would have been down on the ~45. Wis got away with more holding of the receivers, chop blocks, and late hits than I have seen in college. Probably hard to see on TV but being there it was horrible to watch them hold the receivers on every play. Oh and the fake injury the ref helped with, that was just pathetic. They really need to fine the college big time for that garbage!

Great job!

Glad your okay! It is all about the story and you guys have a good one! good lesson for the rest of us as well.

Well done!

Yep... find where they are and glass and call. I called mine into about 15 yards, scared me stiff! There is a lot of luck involved just like all hunting. If you work at it you will increase your odds. I have only seen 3 in my lifetime all by accident other than the one I called in. Good luck!

No suggestions on the 6.5-284? I guess it isn't all the rage it was a few years back. I like the .270WSM recommendation as well as the 280, 7mm-08 rounds. Are you planning on reloading or are you looking for off the shelf ammo accuracy and a quick turn package? I say Tikka or Savage. If you are wanting/willing to reload and scrape along for better accuracy then you have a lot of choices for caliber. I tell most people to avoid all the added cost of a custom if they have no desire to work on reloading. You can get most of what you need off the shelf with some simple improvements, bedding or changing the stock etc. I have one Tikka, my daughters .243 and I could run up a mountain with that little sucker and be fine. I was shocked at how well it shot right out of the box. They do have a 1 MOA guarantee so not much downside.

Everything I have bought from swaro is worth as much today as I paid for them. 10x42, 15x56, and the spotter! The only exception might be the RF which is much cheaper to buy used. I think the Kaibabs are a great deal but you wont be able to get much more than half of what you paid if you decide to sell the and upgrade.

What type of see mammal is that? Is it giving birth? Wrong... wrong... wrong

Nice setup!

Same experience the off one lasted one trip and won't work anymore. It did work okay but I don't really want to buy a new one each trip.

That's a pretty good idea!

The company "scope coat" is here in AZ, in Phoenix up north. They are really gray people, a few ladies run the operation from a house that has a big part of it turned into an office. They have a policy that they will make anything if you can leave the optic with them they will have what you want in a week or two. They have patterns already for almost everything out there that is popular. I had a swaro RF early on and they made the first cover for that model for me and now offer them. Oh and your cover is free if it a model they don't have. Call them and tell them what you are after they will take care of you. Can't beat using a local company!

Right there with you! However still too many retired folks in AZ that always vote McCain no matter what.

Unless you don't have a printer... I think you can now get a printer for about $50... hard to by a $57 license and not justify a printer. Oh an dyou can save the .pdf to your phone, iPad, laptop, etc. I am not sure what they would say if you showed the .pdf and you cant stick your stamps to it but you would hvae proof of the license.

Well done!

If he attacked my SUV I would shoot him as well 😛. Nice pic and good shootin!
