Big or Bust

About as good as it gets for a spotter in the 80mm class...

Thanks for the laugh OP. Maybe heed your own advice rather than give it?

Saw that today from Tucson and thought it looked closer to Nogales than the fire in the Chiricahuas...

I did that about 4 years ago. Quit a really good job here locally and started my own company. My wife quit her job the next year to help me. Best thing I ever did...

SLR or x47 from your list. If you are using the LA Tikka Mags I'd run a 6.5-06...

Your SGK expanded just fine.... No room for error in a neck shot. Better hit bone which you didn't or you'd have a dead critter with a cup and core bullet...

I'm confused.... I was referring to the 3-9 SWFA, not the Zeiss. Or I'm very slow....Grin..

Try the 3-9 SWFA Lance if you haven't.... HD glass, better eyebox, etc... Super duper scope... I've got one hobby too. Killing stuff and the gear that gets it done....Grin...

Ever get to Tucson area?

So no idea what the inlet is for then I take it?

Inletted for factory sporter tube? Looks like woodland camo?

There's a lot of love for the Tikkas. I will go back and check them out the two big strikes are barrel length and magazine. What scope would you recommend within the price point or a little over? May I ask why your sticking points are with barrel length and a magazine so I could answer a bit better?

Tikka T3 lite or Superlite in 7-08. Scope depends on if you are a dialer. If you are, I'd pass on all those scopes...

Pigs are running wild at my brother's place.... Anyone looking for a hog hunt with with post- elkdraw blues, give him a ring...

I didn't need a third one.... Glad you got it sold...

16A rifle bull elk here....

Bullet selection cripples the .257" and .277"...

I'd lean .280 Ackley Lance. Bit better choices for elk... Also factory brass or can form Lapua... I run Nosler brass in my .280 Ackley and it's pretty decent...

I'd avoid at all costs...

I agree... Old style 700 triggers are very nice.

Check your turrets first....Grin...

Thanks bud....

Is anyone needing these powders? I made a bulk purchase a few years back and just do not use these powders. I have about 9-10 pounds of RL-15 (2 separate 5 pound jugs), 7 pounds or so of Ramshot TAC (1 big jug), and 5 pounds of RL-19 (1 big jug). All are about 2 years old and stored indoors. I would trade for RL-16 or H4350 or would sell outright for going rate at Powder Valley (about the cheapest place online). I am in the Tucson area and would prefer FTF obviously. Send me a PM if you have any interest... Thanks -

TAC sold. Rest still available.

Still have all of this powder. I'll sell at $20/pound face to face in Tucson area .
