  1. I have not started loading for it yet but will at some point. I am saving my lapua cases for loading. I think the round is under rated too. For 300 and under on deer size game or smaller, I think it will perform well.
  2. Yep. A think a good buddy of mine is going to pick 1 up in 22 hornet. He loves my 7.62x39, and he loves 22 cal. I am considering 1 in .223 now after this one. My next cz though will a 550 in 6.5x55 with mannlicher stock. These CZ rifles are sweet.
  3. Just a quick update on this. I had a Redfield 3x9 scope sitting around so I decided last minute to take this little rifle javalina hunting. I took it out to the range and quickly sighted it in. I then put 10 rds of Hornady steel case loaded with 123gr SST bullets in about a 2" group. With a little practice and patience this rifle will easily do MOA or less. I carried it on my hunt and it was a dream. It is so light and handy it was amazing. If you are looking or thinking about 1 of these little CZ rifles you should do it. It is a small rifle but fits great. It was a nice change from the 12lb 300wm I carried during elk season. Not as much long range punch, but just as deadly within about 300 yards.
  4. A light weight 6.5 is what I would choose. You already have a good 7mm. Harley
  5. Don't overlook 6.5x55 or 6.5x55 AI if you are building a rifle in 6.5. They have done everything 6.5CM & 260 have for over 120 years.

    They blew up the old Trotter track out west of Phoenix in No Code of Conduct. I don't think I ever watched the movie, but I knew they did a big explosion scene there.

    wasn't one of the Dirty Harry movies filled in Phoenix, and up and down the 93 between here and Vegas?

    A funny thought...

    If you cut your finger while hunting bear, are you now bait? You have a sandwich in your pocket, is that bait?
  11. Pic of the smallest buck I have never taken is below. . . . . . . . . . . . . What do I win? Loser award is my guess.
  12. Lance, can you send me 2 targets next time please. My hunting buddy wants to get in on the action. Especially the 22LR one. He is a rimfire fanatic.

    Gunsmith/Tikka

    Weapons works used to be at 19th and glendale, but I think they have closed. Leadtime there usually sucked. They did some work for me way back and it was good.

    Where are you located? That makes a big difference in recommendation. Axisworks did mine. I am very happy with it. They are in tempe.
  15. Sportsman's avondale had a couple hells canyons in awhile back.

    Feral Pig Eradication

    They are going to reduce the population, but not get rid of it. There is no way they get rid of them without a long drawn out fight with lots of people on the ground and in the air. If they would just sell some tags for $20 each, or better yet just open the area to pig hunting only, they would make/save money and control the herd at the same time.

    Hornady SST's

    My 6.5x55 does ok with them. Probably 1" groups or so, which is totally fine for me for an old sporterized battle rifle from 100 years ago.

    What Not to Do on a Javelina Hunt

    I have flopped my rock crawler a few times. It is interesting for sure. I did a 3/4 roll in a buddies crawler too. That was much more violent than just a flop. I always harness up. To many people die because they don't harness up, or only put on a lap belt. 4 point harness at a minimum in a crawler, racers razor, side x side, etc. Harley
  20. I almost had to use my self defense 1911 in 38 super for self defense from a javalina during a deer hunt about 4 years ago. It was a hairy situation. I had it out last javalina season too when we were pushing some brush where we missed a couple rifle shots. One broke out behind us after we passed through the brush. Harley

    LOOKING FOR LAB PUPS

    I had a chocolate when I was a kid. Totally retarded when he was at home and had no place to run. Put him in the open field and he was a great dog.
  23. Randalls has 1 for $1200 brand new. Don't know if that is a good or bad deal, but I know they are hard to find sometimes. Harley

    I would take a Toyo over a Firestone every day of the week.
