Long sleeves, pants, and eye protection. You will get splatter at pistol ranges. Heck, I shot a steel plate at about 45yds with my 45-70 and caught a nasty splatter that went through my jacket and cut me pretty good.

To bad it doesn't say that we can hunt pigs in Bill Williams Refuge.

I did the opposite. For April fools I shaved my mustache and goatee. My children have never seen me without it, and my wife has only seen me once without it. They all were a little weirded out. My 8 year old freaked out a little, and my 5 year old gave me a mean stink eye. Then he demanded I grow it back.

I had a new one for me the other day. I was loading for my dad's 260 Rem with Berger 135gr classic hunter. Cbto was about 2.33. Cool no prob. I check one as it comes out 2.21 WTF? Berger must have mixed in a VLD with the Classic Hunter box. It is a completely different bullet from the rest of the box, and I have never used VLD in 6.5 caliber, so I know I didnt mix it.

Home depot rents them normally. I have had to rent them in the past.

Phoenix Rod and Gun is still open to members.

Better at least take him to his funeral in a pickup, and dig the whole with a Deere.

So Eric @ Axisworks confirmed for me today that my 257 Weatherby mag barrel is shot out. It is a basic Weatherby Vanguard (Howa 1500). Now I need to figure out what calibers I need to be thinking about for rebarrel. That is where CWT comes in! Help me choose and brainstorm a caliber. I am going to use this action. It is the first rifle I ever bought for myself, and the first rifle I killed a big game animal with. Criteria are I need to reuse this action with a long action magnum bolt face. I don't need a big boomer .30 Cal+ type caliber. I have a standard velocity 6.5 cal rifle, and have access to some 7mm mags from my dad. So I am thinking I want to keep this rifle in the 257-264 size. Thoughts?

Hector LIVES!!! Sorry, I couldn't help it. I have been watching Longmire on Netflix.

If I dont get drawn for deer this year maybe i will buy a kaibab elk tag so i can hunt kaibab for something at least. Find some big bucks and just dream of the day I may get to pull the trigger on one.

I didn't take pictures, but it was pretty packed out north of pleasant. At 130pm today there was a line 25 deep in both lanes to get into the lake at the main entrance. There were trucks and trailers lined up for a half mile on either side of the road where the blacktop end by the north gate. The desert was full of trailers, razors, jeeps, etc.

That is a good deal. A bare 700 action would cost about $300

We just got back from a quick day run up to Old China Dam. You are correct, it was trailers and razors as far as the eye can see. We still have fun and kept away from people, but it was busy on the roadways.

They have tons in stock. All are like 50-60% off MSRP. some are hammered dog crap. And many have very small dings or dents.

The best deals around are Sears Outlet. There is one at 59th and Peoria, and one at like 7th street and bell. We bought the same fridge with a couple very small blemishes for $700 less then if we would have bought it at Home Depot "on sale".

My wife had a nagging sickness through most of December. All the signs line up with corona. It took her about 3-4 weeks to get past it completely. I read yesterday they may have a test to be able to see if people have already been infected and have gotten past it.

I guess I didn't win?

$125

It looks like the answer is $125.

It is crazy in the gun shops. I went to Randall's today because I was in the area. They had very little of anything "tactical" left. Ammo is very spotty. UPS dropped off some stuff while I was there, and they were literally taking it of the boxes and selling it to people standing there. It we from the box to the customer, not even to the shelf.

This is one of my favorite scopes, but I love the boone & crockett reticle. I want this, but this isn't the best time for me to be spending money on things I don't "need". Someone needs to buy this though. It is a great scope. I have the same scope with B&C reticle on my all purpose meat pole rifle and it delivers every time I use it.

What reticle?

I have access to a 300 already so I opted to go back to 257 weatherby. Some day a nice 300 something might have to get built though for 600+ shooting.

The 7 shot is the 686+. One of my favorite wheel guns of all time.

So much want, but with everything going on I can't...good deal. Someone will snap this up.
