Wish it was NP-R1. If buy in a Minnesota minute... TTT great post.

Yesterday was a very slow day deer hunting for me and my partner. We started the morning off with only finding 3 deer by 11:00am. No bucks anywhere so we packed up our gear and hiked back to the truck. We ended up driving about an hour away to a spot where I had been seeing good bucks the prior week. We end up getting there and hike to my glassing spot. We set up and glass for 2 hours without seeing any deer. I was starting to get pretty discouraged. About 430 rolls around and I finally glass up 1 solo doe. Then about 10 minutes later I glass up a nice big bobcat walking a ridge about 700 yards away. I decide to go after the bobcat since we are not seeing any deer movement at all. I close the gap to about 200 yards then relocate the cat. So I keep moving in. I end up getting to 46 yards from it and it spots me. So I stop and have a staring contest with it for about 5 minutes. I wait until it looks the other way and draw my bow. I let the arrow fly. Perfect double lung shot and the bobcat runs and crashes about 25 yards away. This is my first bobcat with a bow and to do it spot and stalk to say the least I was extremely excited.

Jerry clarno does phenomenal work

White tail are hard to pattern. Now that the rutt is on its an act of god to pattern them. I've been watching 2 bucks for all the off season now and now they are rutting . They don't exist on my camera anymore. Welcome to white tail hunting.

Save your money and get a Wilson combat or les Baer upper 1200$ gets you guaranteed 1/2 MOA from the box

I got rem 1100 shotguns willing to trade as well let me know and an 870 + many attachments. Got a 308 model 7 even willing to throw In

Haha thanks andrew.... I know my cat is one ugly coyote compared to me....

Picture added

I have had lots of different 15s. I had the old doctor 15x60 and they are decent for and older pair. Then sold those for some kibabs and didn't care for them to much. Good glass but edge quality is lacking. I then sold those and got a pair of the B model 15x60 Ziess and absolutely love them! Great light gathering and edge quality. Crystal clear image. The only draw back to them is size and weight. This is why I now have the swaro 15s. Between the swaro and ziess 15s I think they are noticeably the best in all areas. (Even prefer them over the much more expensive Leicas) go swarovski all the way. They are are easy to find and can usually get a great deal on a used set.

TTT price drop to 250$ shipped

It is new and has never been installed. Has one little blemish on the part where it would be hidden in the stock. Comes with aluminum pillars and hardware. 1 accuracy international 5 round mag. Fits any Remington long action magnum and clones. 275$ here is the link to the badger page to check it out for more info on it. http://badgerordnance.com/triggerguards/ it's the older one with the 3.69 OAL (SAMMI round Spec) case length not the CIP length one.

I have a Nightforce NXS 5.5X22X56 and it is amazing. Way better glass quality than vortex and leupold. Much more accurate turret adjustments as well. My Leupold MK4 is definitely not as precise at extreme long distances with my 338 lapua. Only way I could see improvement would be getting a Schmidt & Bender. Best glass quality, most precise turrets and an overall bulletproof scope. Only thing that sucks about them is price

The only way decide which scope to get is what you have in your budget for one. Buy once and only cry once. For around the 1000$ mark you can get some high end leupold. Above that comes the vortex scopes. For around 1900$ you can step into a nightforce NXS and for the best glass around you start playing with the Schmidt & Bender scopes in the ballpark of (3000$). Good way to start figuring what you want is check them all out. Leupold, huskemaw, vortex, US Optics, nightforce, Schmidt & bender. Every one of these companies make scopes for long range shooting.

Im located on the eastside of tucson. Selling it only because I decided to have my 338 lapua inletted to a Seekins bottom metal after i had bought the badger one where I will be able to magazine feed the extremely long 300gn berger hybrids.

You will still be able to mag feed some 300 gn bullets with this setup just gotta seat 300gn bullets a little deeper. The 250s are cake. Anyone will be hard pressed to find a better deal than this. Ill listen to offers as well

I've got the prairie blaster and I love it. You definitely can't go wrong with any of the FoxPro callers. Some of the bigger ones you will get more volume out of but regardless they are all fine products.

all of the badger bottom metals come with accuracy international mags, and yes the AI mags are about as nice as you can get. basically bullet proof, any of the SAMMI spec 338 Lapua mags will work in this bottom metal though. some people dont want to spend 90$ for backup mags. You would think for that cost it would be made of gold.... as you see in the first picture the blemish is pretty much nothing. thanks for looking!

Isn't this why everyone buys a bow short enough to shoot out of the cab of your truck.... Let them have it. It only means do your homework and put your time in. If you're dedicated you will get on nice bucks no matter how close or far from the road.

I got on a probably mid 145-150ish 3x3 muly buck this morning. His neck was all swollen and chasing his group of 9 does like crazy. I missed him at 65 yard which should be a slam dunk shot. I guess my broadhead decided it was more into pruning tree limbs than killing a buck. Also had a big 2x2 coues (probably mid 80s.... Nice 2x2) rutting the heck out of 3 does. I think this weather has got them all screwed up in southern AZ.

Long time reader/new member! First time for spring bear putting in and got either 33/34A. I always hunt the August over the counter hunt but this one should be a good one!
