    Remington 700 ADL Stainless Steel 300 RUM $400

    Sold pending exchange. Thanks
  3. Remington 700 ADL Stainless Steel 300 RUM in excellent condition. I purchased this rifle about four years ago from Cabela’s. In that time is has had approximately 4 boxes (80 rounds) through the barrel, and has aided me in taking a cow and bull elk. Only selling to fund the build of another 300 RUM. Asking $400 Thanks

    Gunsmith in chandler/Mesa area

    +1 Just left their shop. Keith fabricated and installed a new bolt knob on my new rifle while I waited. He is also going to put a Badger brake on for me next week once it arrives. Really nice guy, good work, and very quick turn around time!
  5. I have a guy in New Jersey interested in buying my rifle. He has agreed to pay all FFL and shipping fees. My concern is that he he claims he cannot pay via PayPal due to his government clearance restrictions. He says he make satellite chips and can not receive or send PayPal payments because they could because they could be perceived as illegal payments to someone with his clearance. Sounds a little sketchy to me, buy I don't know much about it. He proposes to pay via postal money order first, and then ship via FFL dealers once I receive the money order. It sounds a bit to me like the craigslist overpayment money order scam. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this? Thanks

    Arizona school in the hot seat

    Hanging on the wall of the house at my grandma and grandpa's farm is a quote by a many whom I consider to be among the greatest men of all time. As a little boy I read it often but didn't understand and appreciate it until i was much older. I find it to be very applicable here: “He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.”
  7. Shot the elk in the picture with a BT and had not meat loss. I'm sure this goes without saying, but if the shot is bad you are going to lose meat regardless of fragmentation. If you are concerned about fragmentation both the Barnes TTSX and Hornady GMX are great options in an all copper bullet, not the cheapest bullet though.
  8. Thanks for the input and suggestions. I think I'm going to follow my gut and wait for a local cash buyer.

    You might be a Redneck......if

    You also might be an idiot if you get offended that your high school has a redneck spirit day. You also might be a bigger idiot if you are a member of the media and feel that this warrants national attention. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/01/schools-redneck-day-draws-objections/2128347/ Seriously, isn't there anything better to report on?
  10. For me it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For example: If you are looking to maximize accuracy at long ranges I like the Berger VLDs. But he are a pretty long bullet and can hard to get the desired seating depth to fit in many magazines . If you are limited on you magazine length I would go with the Barnes TTSX as the all copper bullets tend to do better when they have to jump longer distances. If you are limited in magazine length but do not want an all copper bullet for any number of reason such as the higher cost, expansion concerns, etc, I would personally go with the Nosler BT. There are a lot of great bullet combinations and it really all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. As the other have suggested, I like a bullet weight of around 130-150 gr. in that caliber. Good Luck

    History Channels new show "Chasing Tail"

    At first I thought it was entertaining. But after watching a bit more I've gotten more and more irritated. They make hunters look like classless, tasteless idiots with no respect for the deer.

    Need Vinyl lettering for work vehicles

    My sister-in-law has a small vinyl business she does out of her home in Queen Creek. Do you just need the letters or do you also need someone to do the install?
  17. My oldest son will turn 9 this September. I already have him signed up for a hunter's education course at Bass Pro in November and had planned to put him in for the elk draw in January. However, after reading the regs tonight and talking with a couple of buddies I'm not sure if we can do this. My previos understanding was that you could enter a junior in the draw as long as the hunt they were applying for occured after their 10th birthday. However, something I read in the regs now leads me to believe they must be 10 by the application deadline. But the regs really aren't very clear on the subject. To add further confusion, I have one buddy who says his daughter's application was rejected for this reason. But I have another who said his application for his son, who also falls under this criteria, was successful in drawing a cow tag. Does anyone know an absolute answer to this question? My son is chomping at the bit to start hunting and I would hate for him to have to wait a whole additional year. Thanks

    Big Game Draw Age Requirement Confusion

    Thanks for all of the input. My original understanding was the sames as Cody's (coues.300) and the majority opinion on here. It also sounds like the application process went fine for your son Redman. Hopefully everything works out as planned.

    FAll regs are out online

    Sweet! It's like when I was a kid and the Christmas JC Penny catalog came out.
  20. +1 on the Harris S-25c. Don't skimp on a cheaper or off brand if you are getting one that attaches. I have tried a few different ones and Harris is the only way to go. Others will fall apart or retract at the wrong time under a rifle with heavy recoil. When I buy hunting equupment I always ask myself if I might be risking the animal of a lifetime to save a few dollars.

    G&F Released Wolves again.....dang

    Hey rossislider, would you consider me below average? With all the zeros we have put on the board together, yes, I would consider you below average.

    G&F Released Wolves again.....dang

    Amazing how easily they could be mistaken as coyotes by the average predator hunter... just saying.

    ATV Tire Question

    If the other is still in good shape just replace the one. Since you are likely driving on rough uneven ground anyway, it shouldn't matter as long as they are the same size and shape. That is unless you one one of these guys who places their ATV/UTV looking pretty over functionality, like my brother. He has an awesome Polaris RZR with nice shiny chrome tires, fancy sound system, paint job, etc. He doesn't fish, hunt, camp, etc., and I don't think the thing has ever seen anything but pavement, but he sure looks "cool" driving around the neighborhood. Such a waste....
