I have deals pending on the Leupold 2-7 and the 3-9.

Minox scope has been sold.

I'll take this if still available.

I've posted under this handle for 20 years now in this and other forums. I can't remember why I chose it.....

I have a Smith and Wesson 1500 chambered in 30-06 that I would like to sell. It started out as a barreled action bought here last spring. It was rough on the exterior, but borescoping showed that it had not been shot much as all. I blasted the metal and applied Coyote tan Cerakote to all metal surfaces minus the scope rings. I also purchased a new take off black synthetic Weatherby Vanguard stock for the rifle. Bases are weavers and the rings are generic. Scope is a 3-9x40 Leupold VX-2 with CDS elevation turret. (Duplex reticle) I have only fired 9 rounds through the rifle. Took it to the range this morning with a couple of odd loads from my stash. Three to get to zero at 100 and these two groups. 150 Gr remington factory stuff shot just over an inch and some 180 gr handloads shot at just under an inch. Not great, but not bad. I just wanted to make sure the rifle wasn't spraying bullets all over the place. I am sure with some handloading and tinkering for this rifle it should shoot even better. $300 for the rifle minus scope or $500 with scope. FTF in the Tucson area would be nice, but if you really want it, we can discuss shipping. Also, if you really want the stock to match the metal, i would be happy to Cerakote it as well.

Trade pending

Put three more rounds through it this morning. 150 Gr Hornady SST over a mild charge of Varget.

I stand corrected. I must have been looking at those 1 pounders of re16 on the same page.... Dyslexia strikes again!

Bruno shooter's supply. https://www.brunoshooters.com Looks like they currently have re26 in 1 lb containers in stock, they are taking back orders on 8lb jugs.

I'll take the re17, and maybe the 4350 as well. PM sent.

If still available, I'll take both of the 23s

Last year, Bubba was skunked for both deer and Javlina. Because his sister has take a few animals, he really wanted to enjoy some success this year. We started glassing at 6:20 AM and almost immediately, he spotted a group of 4 bucks. We watched them work their way closer to us for almost an hour. It looked like 528 yards was as close as they were going to get. I had the boy get prone, We dialed the scope on his heavy barreled .243 up to 525. First shot was a miss (high). Second was a hit, but the deer was still up. It took two more shots and the deer went down for good. We had to cross a steep and thick wash to get to the animal. I was really wishing I had another person to keep an eye on the spot that the deer went down and guide us to it. When we got to where I though we should be, nothing. We spent 90 minutes searching for the deer. It was Bubba that found the first sign of blood. Once we were on the blood trail, we found the buck 15 yards up the hill. The original spot where i thought we should be looking was over 150 yards away. We managed to get the boned out meat and head back to the truck by 1:00. I am so proud of my son, for keeping calm while shooting at a live animal. He has practiced on milk jugs out that far, but never an animal. I am also proud of how he did not show any frustration when searching all over for a downed deer that seemed to disappear (at least not as much frustration as I was showing!) And finally, I realize that I need to get my plump fanny into better shape If I want to continue to hunt with him as he gets older.... I am exhausted!

I'll take this.
