You should be asking a lot more for that truck. 10K is a STEAL even with the 24V motor. If it is a 12 valve that would be the holy grail of Dodge Diesels and is probably worth double that.

People are stupid. They should want this deer out of the population to keep its genetic defects out of the herds. Congrats to the kid, I would have dropped it too if I had the chance.

So ammo has been hard to find for 18 months and you top that with deer season when everyone is buy up hunting ammo and your mad you cant find ammo? We had the same issue last season with 243 for my buddy. He ended up with some federal hi shok It didn't matter, we didn't see a buck. I guess the lesson should be, if you see it, buy it. No matter what time of year just to make sure you have some.

I know you cant sell tags, but can you donate or sign them over? Due to a lot of different reasons I am pretty sure my group will not be able to make our hunt next week. Is there anything we can do other then just let the tags waste? Harley

My dad taught me about guns but was never really properly trained himself so I am learning and adapting as I learn. He used to clean every rifle fully after shooting it with the powder solvents, copper solvents, etc. I a, not saying that I know much better then him at this point, but I only do that now if a rifle is being put away for a long period of time. Now I mostly just run a patch or two with a CLP cleaner down the bore and call it good if the rifle is going to the range or field again soon. I have noticed with my 257 Weatherby that this has kept my accuracy and POI consistent from range visit to visit. It comes out of the case and hits like I want it too and expect it too. When I put the rifle away for the summer I will give it a full cleaning with a bore brush, or if accuracy starts to get funky I might hit it with a brush mid season. I use brass brushes because I always have. I am not saying that is right but it has worked for me, and until about a year ago I only owned 3 piece metal rods. I since upgraded to a 1 piece but still have not used a bore guide. I probably will for my rifles that are nicer and more about accuracy soon though. Harley.

I would love a 7x57 for a hunter for myself. My dad has an original Mauser in the caliber and it is great. Someday I will have one hopefully. As long as my kid gets into hunting I have a 6.5x55 or 243 that will be his first rifle.

Next weekend is an active hunt weekend, that is the weekend I was supposed to be down there but don't think I will be able to make it this year. Harley

Why not another 257 ackley if you already have one that she likes, or give her the ackley and get a new you gun? I like stuff that is not as mainstream though so I like things like 257 ackley, 7x57 Mauser, 6.5x55 Swedish, etc. in the caliber range you are looking at. They are harder to find rifles in though. I have a 257 weatherby vanguard ( the older style) and I really like it. Recoil will be to much without a muzzle break though.

Get off the beaten path. By that hunt (I was on the same hunt last year) the deer have been hunted for a month straight. The bucks will not be near roads or easily accessed areas because everyone has been waiting in those places for the last month trying to kill them. Find a place you can get deep in and get a good glassing spot BEFORE daylight. Last year that hunt was one of the least successfully hunts in the state. We saw everything last year except a buck. Bear, turkey, does, etc. Take a sidearm especially if your hiking in the dark. A buddy of mine got in a staring contest with an unknown animal before dawn last year. He had my 44 mag so he just waited for daylight and luckily it was just a doe. If you are not prepared to get up early and put on some decent boot work on that hunt you are pretty much going to just have a camping trip where you bring a gun. I have only really hunted in some of the higher elevations in 29 so if that is what you need info on let me know and I can offer a little help via PM on locations. If you are in Phoenix go to the Wide World of Maps and get the topo maps for the are you are interested in, they are some of the best info available along with Google Earth. Take your topo maps to a teaching store to get them laminated for a reasonable price.

I just got mine through. It had a few hiccups but it went through.

The page won't even load right now even in Google Chrome

Absolutely. They will be overkill but would work. Depending on slab depth you might have to trim them down but wouldn't go anywhere.

Does anyone have any use for big Hilti brand 5/8 anchors? I have a bunch left under my bench from my construction days. I think they are 6 or 8" set depth. I believe they are hammer in style and I also have some epoxy style all thread style. I think I have the epoxy packets still but I am sure they are long expired. If you have a use for them lets talk. I am willing to trade or sell them for pennies on the dollar from they they retail for. Harley

I have noticed more lately too and we even found some .22 short & .22WRF for my buddies old Winchesters recently which was cool. It is still very spotty and the prices can be reasonable all the way to insane depending on the shop and quality of ammo.

Same here. I don't have a ton, but if it gets your kid hunting I can spare a couple boxes. I am in Peoria.

So the way I am reading this is Pinery Canyon is open from the monument side up to the top of the mountains but is closed down on the east side of the mountains toward Portal? Or is Pinery open all the way from the monument side to Portal?

Pro diesel or Diesel Derminator https://m.facebook.com/DieselDermanatorLlc?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl&_rdr If you need new injectors only get brand new Bosch or injectors based off brand new Bosch. I just did injectors in my 2005 Cummins. Remanufactured are not worth the risk IMO. Your truck would be great with a set of BMS+50 or +100 injectors depending on your turbo choice. I bought mine from www.engineered-diesel.com They were great and had the best pricing I could find from a reliable shop. Harley

I have contemplated buying some for my 257 Weatherby just to get the cases but can't bring myself to pay even that much for ammo or cases. You can find brass for 300 Weatherby much cheaper because other companies make it. If you don't reload then these are a great round for practice and normal hunting. There are more options from other manufacturers though for 300 that might be similar price for better projectiles. I couldn't honestly tell you. Both my 300 & 257 Weatherby's have never shot a factory round or even a piece of factory Weatherby brass. I have a bunch of factory Remington brass for the 300 and I make the 257 brass from Remington 7mm mag cases. If you don't reload owning a Weatherby is a great reason to start. $3-4 a shot for factory ammo is crazy expensive. You can load basically the same thing for $0.80-$1.50 a round typically depending on calibler and bullet selection.

My wife and I both have a Keltec P32. She has arthritis in her wrist so the P3AT Keltec was to much for her wrist. A good buddy has the LCP and likes it too. I would love the SIG 938 in 9mm though, but the price is more than I can afford right now.

I have one also. It makes me look like a lot better shooter than I really am. If anyone is looking for a great shooting 22 this is it.

I am sorry I missed it. I showed up and watched the last guys go. It looked fun. We stayed and shot some at the main range and then at 200. It really dumped after you guys left. The little gully at the gate was was flowing hard. I hope to catch the next one. Harley

This guy just rebuilt the top end of my buddies 6.0l. He is very happy with the work and the price seemed very fair. https://m.facebook.com/DieselDermanatorLlc?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl&_rdr Or Pro Diesel is good too. Harley

I'm out. The babysitter cancelled so I have to take the dogs to the vet while my wife stays with our son. I am going to make it out to the range later in the day tomorrow for some practice after I am done with the vet visit.

Is this still going to happen with the fact that it is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow?
