10Turkeys

Here is a blast from the past. One of these guys started a range, one a range was named after him, one was a gunsmith who wrote at least one book on the subject, one owned a gun store that is discussed in this thread. What's your guess kneeling left to right 1-4. Standing left to right 1-6. Sorry the pic isn't the best.

The old timers told me that there was a 100 club at one time. From what I understand around the Tucson area there was a club where you had to take a Coues over a 100 inches to be in the club, and whoever took the largest buck over 100 was the president for that year. Anyone else hear of it?

It was Bohm's something. I was in there maybe 2 times at best. I believe Jensens turned over to the Arizona Sportsman, which in turn went belly up, and the building now is 2nd Amendment, at least the last I was in there, that's what it was. I know when it was Jensens there was some good Coues heads hanging in the store. I don't know if they were Bob's or not. Last time I asked someone that lives in that area if they were still in the store, he said yes.

I still have an old box of Sierra bullets with a price tag from Smittys. I think in the early 70's there was a store on Van Buren if I remember right it was called Bohms I believe.

My Thanks to all, who put on some sort of a uniform and a pair of boots and served!

That's cold Airborne, but fitting!

I had an older Remington 700 in .280 for sale on GB one time. I had about 3 people contact me and ask if the barrel was stamped .280 Rem/ 7mm Express, guess they are worth something to a collector.

Boddington has another book out with Bob Robb, Deer Hunting from Coast to Coast, that I thought was a good read.

I have this book, there is alittle bit about Coues if my memory is working right.

They are primed and the headstamp is Lapua. Got it home and ran a patch down the barrel. One patch isn't going to do it, pretty dirty.

Nikon Monarch 7 10x42 binos. Taken out of the box and looked at, never been outside. 400.00 Remington .22 Bucket-O-Bullets 1400 count. I would rather this go to someone who has kids and is short of ammo, and I'll throw in 500 Remington Thunderbolts. 100.00. Sold. For those that are looking for 6.5 Creedmore 143 ELD-X ammo, here is what I have. This was loaded for my Browning A bolt to fit in the mag, so the overall length is close to Hornady Hunter specs. Petersen Virgin brass, primer pocket cleaned up, flash hole deburred, case mouth resized, chamfered and deburred. 42.0 grains of IMR-4350, Federal 210M primers. IMR-4350 worked A Little better in my rifle than H-4350, it might not in yours. You will have to put it on paper to find out. 60.00. 50 loaded rounds. Can meet at the Sportsmans on 17 in Phx. First I'll take it gets it.

TTT

.22 ammo is Sold. Thanks Varget!

The XS sights are ok. At my age traditional open sights are like a bucket under a bull.

There is Williams, Skinner, and I have a pair of XS on my 94.

Three dimes twice.

I just left Brunos and they had all three in one pound containers.

Shootout by Flys boarding house.

No I didn't. Don't use Retumbo and I have enough of the other two.

In 2017 we took my wife's rifle to the Lapua Center out on Higley Rd. They have a 100m underground range and they test different lots of ammo in your rifle. Test are done at 50m and 100m. The action is taken out of the stock and they rig something up so it's in a machine rest. This test was with Center X, which is the lower of .22 ammo that actually says Lapua on the box. Top target is 50 and the second is 100. The circle is 1 inch. These are 10 shot strings.

I bet there is a boat load of Anschutz guys and gals that would put up an argument with that Magnum Research being the most accurate rimfire on the market!

Could check out one of the cull hunts also.
