Doug posted on another website forum that CL decided to pursue other avenues and would not be handling Vortex anymore.

NOAA's forecast discussion this morning said they do not expect any precip for at least 10 days. It will be 70 here in Flagstaff by the end of the week. I would concentrate on areas around water if sitting does not bore you to death.

For prairie dogs, a consideration may be a 17HMR (not that 10/22s are not a load of fun).

Wear gloves and eye goggles when using the whitening paste

Well the big desert buck is all boiled out and white!
Red Rabbit replied to Beaton's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
Very nice desert buck. Your co-worker should be ecstatic. -
Another powder to try would be Ramshot TAC. I once tried loading a 60 gr partition for a javelina hunt in my 1-14" 22-250, but the bullet key-holed at 100 yards. Current load is using 50gr Hornady V-max, TAC and Fed210M.

Thanks all for the comments. Flatlander- Jackson Hole, DuBois or Hoback would be nice places to live. BigBrowns- that herd of bison was right by the side of the road. So many were packed together it was hard to isolate one.

Avoiding cactus
Red Rabbit replied to Trevvamos's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Hunt where there is no cholla. Rica figured out prickly pear, but never learned about cholla or porcupines. -
I drew a permit for 6A archery javelina. No turkey tag was drawn this year.

Purchased the antelope point back in September. Back up to 6 points now. Hoping for a mild winter in WY this year.

Should be some good eating, even if his antlers are on backwards. Did the core separate from the jacket in the SST?

Adjustable Bases and Rings
Red Rabbit replied to IA Born's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
My guess is that the screw holes are not true as 300RUM said. You could try the windage adjustable bases and new rings. I would shoot it first and try adjusting the scope before buying new bases/rings though, in case the bore sighter is way off -
Looks like the hunt was pretty fun and good memories were made. Congrats to Auggie.

Hornady 129 grain SST- any experience
Red Rabbit replied to azhuntnut's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I used the 129 SST in a 260 Rem on an antelope in Utah several years ago. Hit him in the spine at 450 yards, so the exit was a little "open". -
A good friend was told all the powder burns in 16-18" in a 30-06, so he cut off the barrel to 18" to save weight and then added a brake to cut recoil in his son's 30-06. It is a much louder and flashier SOB than his wife's 22" 30-06 with brake. The powder may have burned, but the gasses are still expanding in a longer barrel to provide fps.

nicely done

Way cool for her and you

Congrats to your dancing daughter on a good hunt and way-nice buck in velvet

Photobucket is stopping third party hosting to other websites and forums like CWT, unless one pays $400 (or $40/month) for a Plus 500 level plan. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/06/30/photobucket-now-charges-399-for-third-party-hosted-images/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/30/photobucket_charging_400yr_3rdparty_pgs/ http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009597607-What-is-3rd-party-hosting-

Images in my old posts are still visible, but cannot link images anymore. We got the B.O.B. award- "bend over buddy"

Another free option is postimages.org I recently tried it and found it easy to use. PB just started blocking me from copying the image url

Proper cleaning and barrel break in
Red Rabbit replied to Zeke-BE's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I would clean it before any shooting, final clean with alcohol to remove any oils, and then apply Dyna Ultra Bore Coat (for ease of barrel cleaning in the future). Shoot it per instructions to cure the UBC, and then have fun. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/687809/dyna-tek-rifle-care-kit -
But how many students marked that as the answer? Will the district investigate them?
