Yep. Eric and his crew @AxisWorks LLC They do great work. They just finished the rebuild of my Weatherby Vanguard.

Hunt that deer hunt with every day you can. Whatever you have left use in the elk hunt. If you dont have any days left just hunt the elk on Saturday and Sunday. Scout that deer hunt, especially with all that has burned. It will be an interesting hunt up there.

Who does it? I just started as part of a way to try and get into shape.

Axisworks has done 3 muzzle brakes for me with great results.

Hobart, Miller, Lincoln. Get good tools the first time. A 140ish amp 115v model will do alot of things in the hands of a decent welder. My personal favorites are Miller. Hobart is owned by Miller so it is like entry level Miller. Fluxcore will do alot of welding without the need for a gas bottle, and the dragging around of a gas bottle. It isn't as clean of a weld because of the spatter, but can be more versatile of a wire. Most wires that require gas are not as forgiving when your materials are not perfectly clean.

Today was a chicken pot pie my wife made finished in the Traeger. It was fantastic.

I snuck out to the range this afternoon for a couple hours today with it to get some of the barrel break in done. I eye bore sighted it, and had a rough preliminary zero in 3 rounds. I only shot about 20rds total. I am going to try and get out this week during a morning to get out during cooler weather to get some more rounds shot. I had some 115gr Bergers and 100gr TTSX left loaded from my previous barrel so I shot those existing loads to start. I was typically shooting 2-3 rounds and I would run a patch and let it cool. It was showing signs of good accuracy but it wasn't 1 hole type stuff yet. The couple groups i tracked were after a patch. The first round would be in one spot, and then round 2 & 3 would usually be a little ways away but would stack on each other pretty tight. It was 106*f so I wasn't shooting more than 2-3 rounds without letting it sit and cool for awhile. The thing doesn't hardly kick with that 3 port brake on it. It wasn't a bruiser before, but it is super tame now. Blackjacks 131grs are on order and should arrive this week. I am going to try some Hammer 121gr too.

Nobody is really taking the mask mandate seriously it seems. My jiu jitsu gym is across the street from the Glendale Police headquarters. 8 out of ever 10 people walking down the street didn't have a mask on today while I was down there.

The rifle ended up at 9lb 13oz as pictured minus the bipod. It has a good balance though so it should carry well, and be able to reach out and touch something when needed.

Today was the day Axisworks called and said it was time!!! Huge thank you to the team at Axisworks. Eric is a great dude and has a great team. I dropped in this afternoon and picked up the new and improved 257 Weatherby Mag. Time to dust off the reloading bench and start pumping out some ammo to do load development with.

Is the action and bore decent beside the missing parts? I can sometimes get to Mesa during the work week. What's your schedule?

Where are you at, I will take it if you are not in BFE and the action and bite are half decent.

He was on Rescue Me also. He was really good in OZ too.

If he doesn't take the bipod I live about 2 blocks from you it sounds like, and I will take it.

Location? Is the Harris bipod a swivel? Extending legs?

I was researching SRP vs lrp for my dads 260 Remington and I read a few places about SRP brass having ignition issues when super cold out. Since this rifle might see late season elk and deer hunts I went with LRP brass. I dont know how true it is, but it isn't worth missing an elk over.

The general rule of thumb for tonnage in houses in AZ is 400sqft/ton. That would put your loads at roughly 4.5 tons. Then add in you are farther north so you could likely get away with a 3-4 ton unit depending on layout and design. My house in Phoenix is 2100sqft with vaulted ceilings. We have a 5 ton package unit and it will keep our house at 74* or less all day if we choose.

Its an airflow restriction or a low on freon most likely as mentioned above. A 5 ton on 1800sqft in northern AZ is probably too large, but they problem that should cause is short cycling which means the unit cools the house so fast it turns off quickly which isn't good for them. Check the filters and return ducting. I would have a tech check the unit out and check the refrigerant charge. You may also need to up your motor speed to try and move more air to help mitigate the problem. Most newer systems have indoor fan motors with between 3 to 5 speeds. You just have to move a wire on the motor to get more airflow or less.

I have had it twice. Once was very forgettable, the other was sensational. I am willing to gamble some elk to try and hit sensational again.

When you get some pronghorn I will trade you for some elk if you want.

I have had a set of Crispi Nevada boots for a few years now and absolutely love them.

What were they hitting on bait wise?

I just put a battery doctor battery tender on my trailer. They discharge especially if I forget to hit the kill switch.

Yep, Dodge was the last one, but stopped in 2018. Now I can never own a truck newer than 2018... I searched for a long time to find my truck. I wanted the 5.9L with a stick and 4 real doors so I was stuck in 2003-early 2007. I may get a newer truck one day, but this truck is staying around for the long haul. May dad has a low mile 2006 with an auto and a gear vendors overdrive that makes it an 8 speed though that I may have to steal from him at some point...

Once you drop $7000 on the motor to un-f*ck it, they are great trucks... Kinda like the older Dodges with auto transmissions. Once you spend $5k on a good transmission they are bad butt. I drive a 2005 Dodge Cummins with a 6spd stick. Honestly the new trucks have better power, but I can see my motor, work on my motor, and not get all jammed up with emissions crap.
