my son recently got into forging. Has already made swords and daggers for an upcoming highlander series. just made some cool target hangers for me. not trying to sell them just wanted to show them. proud of him

No longer available. I sold my 270 last week. going through the safe I found a box and a half of Hornady precision hunter eldx rounds. Free to whoever can use them. I’m in Gilbert.

I would have loved to go. But I have a problem, or so my wife says.

Some history on the gun . I bought it from my boss at the time who gave up on hunting . He only got 1 deer tag and took his son with . Trying to cross a creek he dropped the gun hard and dented the bell on the scope. It split the stock from the tang thru the butt and cracked the rings and bases. I took it to Dale Medders and had the stock fixed ,bedded and recoil pad done . Then it went to Wright armory for the break they screwed up and put the front sight back on . The two filled holes. It's been on one juniors deer hunt my buddies granddaughter took a doe with it . And my other buddies wife's first elk hunt she took a cow and her daughter- in law used it also for cow elk and took a cow.The ranger line was the cheap line of the 70s and was built on the same action just not quite as refined . It has a plane Jane soft wood stock and was meant to be compared to the basic rem 700.

I paid $400 for the gun a $100to fix the stock another $100 to bed the action $280 for the break work plus the scope . Then donated it . Let me know if your looking to sell it . I'll buy it back . The ranger models were made in the 70s. Chris

Surprised Boarman wasn't the first in line!

Spent the last couple days making my own.

Likely just because it’s a Limited Edition. I’m sure it will sell out quick for knife collectors. Different strokes for different folks. I wouldn’t buy it, but then again, i’ve spent $200 on a bottle of rye whiskey before.

Today will be a grateful chore of deboning my first elk, & done with a bow. Lots of time spent prepping for this hunt: Road knowledge, locating concentrated areas of bugles at wee hours of AM, water holes, benches, & how bulls use the line of No Return (Rez border) to evade pursuit. This was a TUFF hunt; mostly due to my learning curve, but locals tell me this was the slowest they have seen in yrs. Seemed like all 125 tag holders brought 5 buddies in the forest, so many dudes buzzing around and sitting water! It was hot, smokey, high winds, & no cows to be seen/heard. I only saw 1 bull killed in the back of a truck. No real rutting activity until day 12!?! Bulls actively bugles from day 1 & called back to challenge bugles… but no interest in cow calls. I don’t call often. I actually don’t like to call until the last 150yrd—for any game. It was obvious when other hunters were near due to cow calls & the over frequency of use. I had my share of “could have been done”, like the 6x6 on Day 2 (narrow shooting lane and killed a tree at 63yrd). My caller granted me 8 days, then returned to the real world. I kept grinding. Hunt sun up to sun down. Trying different areas, different times of AM, different approaches. Even though bugles occurred every day, some days went by without seeing a bull. Then, things changed on day 12. Responsive bulls, yet still no cows (I guess I never found them). Bulls engaging to challenge calls & kept around with soft cow calls. I had activity all day long. I bumped a bull 5:30pm when pursuing his bugle. It ran 73yrd up hill. A scraggly tree 8’ in front of me partially broke up my figure. Quickly counted left side: G4, G5, G6=thinking this was a 6x6. Face to face we stared for “eternity”. He barked several times. Calmed him with meek cow calls. His caution factor overrode desire to breed and he slowly turned to walk away. Ranged at 83yrd, pulled back, broadside, WHACK, punched him with 100gr G5 Montec. Then heard a crash, but not sure of what was really happening due to topo incline changes. Found blood at impact site. Found bull 30yrd away, face down into a rotting tree on a steep slope. Ecstatic rush of achievement! Antlers were actually 5x6 with an earlier broken right G1, but I didn’t care! It was a late night. Had an awesome friend drive up to help pack out. While not a monster, he will be just fine as a memory to the hunt’s high/lows resting over the cabin’s fireplace. Took him to Authentic Taxidermy/Troy Smith yesterday; it was a haul & I passed several taxidermist en route, but Troy did great work on my pronghorn. History has shown me—go with the proven & you won’t regret it. Troy asked if I wanted G1 tine fixed… “Nope, keep him just as I found him”.🏹

Multi-tool!? I guess with this administration's policies, all you really need is a ball point pen. I have had great luck with BM knives. I used to carry an Adamas auto and now carry an Infidel. I also swap in a spiderco on occasion.

Cool piece. Reminds me of the one my grandmother had.

It’s properly named.

Outdoorsmans probably manages their pricing

Zebralight....

I asked the same question years ago. Several members suggested Coast head lamp and that's what I chose. It has served me well on my hunting trips. Light weight adjustable beam. I also have another one with the Red light.

You keeped passing on bulls. You don't like ElkMeat??? Thats a Shame
