    Spotter or 15's???

    You need both. At 700 yds you'll be fine with 15's but to save yourself sometime the spotter is must. A buck that I glassed up last year that would get anyone excited about killing, was 1800+yds away and 1000 foot decline in elevation. I could tell his frame was built for 100''+ buck and that was what I was looking for. I glassed him up with my 15's but couldn't make out the points well, till I pulled the spotter out. His G2's were maybe 3 inches and G3's were barely coming out of his beams. I decided to pass. But if I didn't have my spotter I would have had to drop off that 1000ft in elevation to get within less than a 1000 yds to tell if it was what I wanted. And please stay away from 15x50's. The amount of light they let in is bad. If you can't afford some higher end 15's go with meopta/cabelas euro 12x50's till you can get some some 15x56 or 60's. The max amount of light that the human eye can let in is 7(f-number) anything that lets in 3.5 or lower is horrible in low light situations aka prime time for the deer to be moving usually. 15x50's let in 3.333 they're fine at noon but come 6 o'clock is when if you compare 15x50 and 15x56 you'll notice a huge difference. good luck

    Leupold vs vortex

    I agree AZKiller. I noticed on vortex's rifle scopes that they're cutting some corners, especially on the eye relief. I've witnessed a few guys getting scoped because of it. I'm a leupy fan.

    WTS/WTT Vortex Skyline ED 20-60x80

    Scope is sold.
  4. Scope is in like new condition. Only taken out a couple times. Glass is 99%/flawless and so is body. Has vortex's VIP lifetime warranty. Great in low light situations especially with the ED glass. Best bang for your buck in my opinion. MSRP was 800. Asking $490 Items I'm interested in: Outdoorsman pack, 270 weatherby brass, kuiu gear, triclawps, higher end 10x42(swaro, leica, zeiss, meopta hd etc) and who knows what else... Thanks for looking. Text or call (928)245-4860

    Vortex Razor 12x50--Question

    The only I difference I see in the non hd razor and the viper's is the razor has an extra coating called armor tek- ArmorTek Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt. but IMO 12x50 would be better than 15x50 because of the amount of light it lets in.

    New price increases from G&F?!?!

    +1 Snapshot. All they say is show up to our meetings because no hardly does....... One, they schedule a lot of their meetings during the middle of hunts. Probably why a lot of people don't show up. When people do show up they still do what they want. For example a few months ago they held a wolf meeting in alpine about introducing more wolves. More than 80 people showed up ranchers/hunters and myself personally. Not one pro wolf comment was said. And they still introduced more wolves. What a joke. It's a no one win situation since our tax dollars fund these prairie fairy organizations and they pretty much control the g&f. As for shawn's bonus lol just the increase in unit 1 early archery tags alone will make that up.

    Gunsmith in Safford area

    http://westernprecisionrifles.com/contact-us/ I personally have never had any work done to any of my rifles by them because I'm new to the area. But, I have a couple friends that have rifles made and worked on by them. I've been very impressed to say the least.

    Thoughts on Cabelas 12x50 Euros

    I think for the money there isn't a better pair binos. They aren't the swarovision of even the older el's but I can't tell a difference between the neu slc(non hd) and the euro's. I have a couple pair of different vortex and haven't used them since I purchased the euro's. They are clearer and brighter than the vortex in my opinion. But like stated earlier go test them out. Everyone's eyes are different.

    FS- Model 70 Stainless 7wsm- $625

    I know for sure that the gun is still for sale. I've also seen this gun personally and can say that it's a great looking rifle and whoever worked on the rifle did a great job.

    Vortex Viper 15 X 50 binoculars

    since it's a 50 mm objective lens with a 15 power you're going to be discouraged when there's low light situations(the best time to glass/find an animal). I have a pair of 15x60 that do really well and I actually use 12x50 cabela euros a little more than the 15's, they're just really really clear and bright. I saw some up here for sale a few days ago with an awesome price. The euros are dang near even to me to a pair of slc swarovskis. You can even read the reviews on them.

    MOSSBACK BULL

    An official scorer scored it and it was 476 5/8 gross with 462 1/2 net. As of right now it's the largest bull ever killed on public land in the state of Arizona! Congrats to all involved!!! Truly a monster, pictures don't do it justice!
