Big or Bust

Lots of bears south of 10. In numerous units.

Yes. I agree. A lot of folks don't realize the 130 VLDs are actually better ballistically at most practical hunting distances due to the velocity advantage with a much better MPBR for quick shots...

Fact, especially below IH 10. Coues populations would be decimated...

Yes.... For reliable dialing and mounting system you'll need to budget 22-28 ounces minimum...

I'd just buy a Barrett Fieldcraft in .280 Ackley and save 2-3k....

Other than last year and I think the year before.... This is not a new phenomenon.

Hunt the Big Bo first off. You'll see goats everywhere... Secondly, that buck will be somewhere relatively close by during rut...

Absolutely no idea what you are talking about bro...

I'm always trying to determine what PRDATOR says when he posts.. Darbi's is 0-2 in the past few months for us after about 8-8 in previous years.... Our favorite place in the area? The Navajo Taco trailer east of town next to the Rez...freaking awesome ways when there....

Great post and applicable to all hunters, honestly dependent on their skill level... Kudos Lance...

It is with regret I list this rifle but it does simply not get the use it deserves. I have a lightly used Tikka T3 Superlite in 7-08. Stock is a McMillan Sako Hunter Edge in grey with black speckles. Stock is unbedded. Rifle weighs a bit under 6 pounds bare. I can find no major blemishes. Maybe a few hardly visible rubs. Rifle looks almost new. The only thing to mention of note is the magazines do not release as crisp as other Tikka rifles I've had. They latch great but I have to unlatch and then grab them out. Never bothered me. With the 10x SWFA and DNZ mounts shown in photos it weighs about 21 ounces more. The rifle has a LA bolt stop and an extended magazine that allows plenty of room for heavies when kissing. It will come with the standard magazine and extended magazine. Looking at my load book, this rifle has about 130 bullets down the barrel mostly with 140 Bergers at 2.8" which absolutely hammers. I experimented a bit with 150-162 grain bullets (1 range trip) but never fully developed a load. I've never shot this rifle for groups closer than 550 yards so I have no idea what it does closer. But it will put 5 140 Bergers into groups smaller than my hand at 550 yards with RL-17. All load data included with sale. And interested buyers will have the options of some loading components. I will include all loaded cartridges I have to the buyer if FTF (30-40 I believe of the 140 Berger load). Rifle with Edge stock - $1,100 FTF in Tucson area Rifle with Edge stock, 10x SWFA, and DNZ mounts - $1,350 FTF in Tucson area

Indeed. I shoot there alot....

That's a bobcat....

Those things will likely grow in heck....

Kinda have to. You are in no man's land...

Grin....

Laughing.... You really think people not shooting big magnums are sensitive sissies? Ever think there might be other reasons?

Model #? Is it the ultralight?

This.... Exactly...

What cartridge are you guys seeing that case head Nosler stuff on?

Yes, should've included those.... Alpha is good but expand the lineup! Nosler IME is pretty good stuff, on average all things considered. Better than their bullets for sure. At least the BC of the brass can't be overinflated consistently ...

Yeah Lance - if Lapua or Nosler doesn't make headstamped brass, I'm not interested in the cartridge these days....

The 43.5 load will be up there too in pressure. The 2850 should have been a clue as well. The Creed is great but it's not a 6.5x284....

More description of both "etc" in your description? Ammo? What is exactly for sale here? Thanks...

No kidding...
