Any issue with the existing scope? Does your existing scope/ring/base combo hold zero? My brother had a BLR in .243 that would not hold zero due to a poor lock up between breech and receiver. Tried multiple scopes/rings/bases on the rifle and poi wandered on all of them. Iron sights on the barrel were consistent however. Rifle was lost in a burglary but the cure for that particular BLR likely would have been a barrel mounted scout scope. Assuming your BLR is accurate/consistent with the existing scope, I recommend a quality compact scope in 2.5 X 10 X 40 mm range. Adjustable objective is a plus. Don't scrimp on bases & rings.

Best bass bite(s) I ever experienced was at San Carlos reservoir in the 70's. Hope the lake can stay full and return to its former glory.

Close to .5" on the gauge west of Vernon. Lightning, lost power for a few seconds. Bring it!

The onslaught of people living on public lands will, at some point, cause a whole new set of rules for public land use that will likely negatively affect us all.

Wheeling on the edge of a cliff is always a thrill.

82 road is legend. Never been on the East Sunset Mesa road of which you speak but you are saying it's worse than the 82 road? That is a lofty claim.

^^^ This. Currently, there is a very active thread about the 404J in the Africa hunting section.

Took my son in-laws on a tuna trip a few years ago, they were green as could be. Bought a couple spinning rigs as I knew they would struggle with baitcasters. Rigged the spinners with 65# braid backing combined with 30# fluoro leaders. Son in-laws took #1 and #2 in the jackpot. 45# and 43# bluefin. Only downside to a "coffee grinder" IMO, is not being able to rest the rod on the rail to take a break during the battle. I've fished the Excalibur, good boat, sleeps better than most. On another note, practice your knots prior to your trip. You can thank me later

Caught some really nice bass in Gila below Painted Rock in the 80's.

Suspect the perimeter of Painted Rock reservoir is paved with snakes displaced by rising water.

SRP has released a lot of water out of Stewart Mountain dam for at least a couple weeks. Surprised that a good flush would promote algae growth.

Colorado through Cataract Canyon should run big this year. Crazy rafters! This is what it looks like @ 70K cfs:

Easy enough to monitor lake levels and inflows on the Colorado river: http://www.water-data.com/

Recommend 3" Federal #5 shot turkey loads, consistently good in various shotguns. Good luck on your sons hunt.

Lots of data points scattered about the SRP watersheds but at the end of the day it's somewhat of a crap shoot trying to balance safety vs a 100% full reservoir. Apparently there is still a substantial amount of snowpack yet to melt, SRP currently releasing 10,400 cfs from Bartlett and 1,270 cfs from Stewart Mtn. SRP hydrologists are earning their keep this spring.

Big Sandy ran 40K cfs into Alamo overnight. Verde running 25K + with more to come. Black river running 6500 cfs above confluence with Whiteriver. The melt is on!

Burn fuel, boot leather, search for rut rubbed trees.

Water release from Bartlet dam has been raised to 800 cfs today. Salt river bed won't be dry for long.

Congratulations on an outstanding bull!

You scored a really nice optic at a great price.

Concerning image brightness, BTX needs a minimum of 95 mm to compete with a 65 mm twin tube. There is a reason Swaro came out with the 115 mm module post BTX introduction.

Texas has landowner permits too. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/game_management/pronghorn/permits.phtml#:~:text=All applications must be submitted,Permits under the Permits tab.

A commenter from Fox News website pretty much nailed it: Cho Biden I think Cho ought to review his oath of office.

How much ice at Nelson?
