    Riflescope Mounting

    This is just my opinion and everyone knows what that is worth. The guys that are working at SW aren't all savy riflemen, most were probably flipping burgers or changing oil a couple of days before standing behind a gun counter. About three years ago at our sight in service at Ben Avery we had at least 4 guys who had just bought their gun at SW and had their scope mounted and bore sighted. Well guess what their bolts wouldn't close. The clerk at the store mixed up the front and rear screws for the bases and the long screws were preventing the bolt from closing. Another tip other than third horse fourth race, when a clerk bore sights that scope for you it basically means that if your shooting into a mountain its going to hit it somewhere, don't take it that it is ready to go hunting. Another tip after the the scope is mounted and sighted in take some finger nail polish and paint around the scope and bases. If the finger nail polish splits or cracks the scope has moved from coming loose or being dropped, it will also give you a starting point where to put the scope to be remounted or re sighted in.

    Accubond Ogive Variance

    Common occurrence with pretty much all bullets, check the numbers on your old box and compare with the numbers on your new, probably two different lot numbers. Most competitive shooters will buy larger quantities and all the same lot numbers trying to avoid such happenings.

    Operation Desert Storm

    I was sitting in a Restaurant called Prescott Charlie's next to the Prescottion Motel when it started happening. I was waiting for the Guard unit I was in to get called up. Didn't happen two batallions of Field Artillery one was so bad at least on paper that it was disbanded. Thanks to all who served. Upon reflection as our cousins the Brits say You Americans know how to fight and win a war, but don't know what to do after ward. Who other than us would kick the heck out of a corrupt leader leave him in charge, then go back 10 years later and do it again?
  6. Looks like they cloned David Tubbs rifle.

    Rocky Mtn Sheep in Morenci

    They are all over the mine. The biggest one I have seen so far was a brute, both sides broomed, walking across the road by the Morenci Fire Dept. I've never hunted them or had the desire to, but a bud that has told me if you have taken a Coues Deer you could probably take a whole herd of Sheep.

    Reminton 700 7mag hang fire

    I'm assuming this has a factory barrel? The only thing that I can think of is that your chamber might be a tad to long. Most factory barrels are hammer forged, completely pounded out in about five minutes, some wind up with long chambers, I've seen a couple with short chambers. Brass is not all the same size either and it is springy on top of that. The 7mm Rem Mag is one of the few mags that Headspace's on the shoulder instead of the belt. My guess is since it only happens every now and again that a short piece of brass is shoved first into the chamber and then the firing pin eventually gets to the primer. This is my best guess. Have you ever looked at your primer after having a hang fire? If it's not as deep as the rest of the normal fired ones that's a pretty good sign.
  9. Check out BPI (Ballistic Products), they sell scatter gun stuff. I havent used steel shot for a long time but when I did I got their steel loading guide called the Status of Steel, picked a load from it and it worked great.

    New rifle

    A few years back Savage Arms was weasing away in bankruptcy court going down hard, Ron Colburn took over and turned the company around and between a Savage and a Tikka they were one of the best shooting out of the box rifles you could get. Now Savage is owned by ATK, which owns several shooting/outdoor company's. They have had two layoffs that I know about and with that I'm sure some very good employees hit the bricks, with that maybe some things aren't the way they were. I owned a 111 in a 6.5x284 that shot lights out and I currently own a .260 that shoots ok. Good luck to you Sir, hope your gun shoots great and hope you get your Elk!

    Calibration Defense| Anybody ever try it?

    I would have went I Detest Game and Fish. Not sure of the percentage of people who go to court with out a Lawyer and win, but its my guess it's very low. I did it once with a divorce and didn't get what I wanted, but I went in with the thought of rolling dem bones and if I win I win if I lose no big deal, wasn't going to change my breathing pattern. Put up an argument made the Judge think about it for a couple of days anyway.

    Calibration Defense| Anybody ever try it?

    I went to traffic school a couple of years back for busting a red light. The instructor went around the room asking what the offense was that brought the person into the class. I swear I was the only guilty party there, must have been a room full of Clinton supporters cause they were either innocent or wrongfully accused.

    Hillary!

    The bigger question would be if the Republicans have anyone to go against her and win?

    who has the best chinese food in phx?

    Even though I have an earlier post on this topic, it's my best guess that in over half these places mentioned, there isn't a stray dog or cat within two city blocks.

    how old is the powder

    I have a can of H-380 that I picked up before I went into the Army in Jan of 78, so I'm thinking the 76-77 time frame. Used some of it about 5 years ago, everything went bang.

    ISO: 7mm -08 stuff

    For what it is worth, I have a bud that shoots nothing but 7-08's, hard to find Rem or Win brass right now, he got some Prvi brass, said that it is like military type thick but shoots ok.

    Nosler Accubond Long Range

    I have a Dillon Electronic scale that I've had for years, works better using a 9 volt battery rather than the plug in the wall power adapter, very sensitive around any kind of a fan, especially ceiling fans.

    Thank A Veteran

    US Army 78-81, Az Army NG 82-90, can't let the Marines have all this post. In all seriousness thanks to all the other Vets.
  21. I have hunted both the Oct hunt and the first Nov hunt in 36B many times. The draw back for the Oct hunt is the heat, it's basically a sweat hunt. The first Nov hunt has been lined up with my off time at work for the past three years, so I have gone on it. The Deer have definetly been pressured by then and most of your bigger smarter Deer are a little harder to hunt then.

    Hey dude hold my beer while I ...

    About the only thing you can say or hope for in a situation like this is that you hope he is an only child and that he's sterile. Right there is a gene pool that needs extra chlorine in it.

    who has the best chinese food in phx?

    Thai, Yuphas Thai Kitchen on McClintock and Elliot, couple places away from dollar theatre, food is good and the place appears to be clean. Thai House on Power and Southern. Food is pretty good not a place for a first time date unless you don't want a second. Korean-Hodori on Dobson and Southern. Food is good and place is clean. Don't do Chinese or to much Japanese food.
