Big or Bust

I spent quite a bit of time close to border in 35a a few weeks ago. I can tell you some areas i would not camp in as they are active.

So you're the guy that turns Lighting Jack on waaayyy to loud thinking a coyote from 3 miles away is going to respond which does nothing but edumicates all the coyotes out there....grin....

Not sure what kind of choppers they were.

There were a few National Guard helicopters screwing with hunters in 36C a few weeks back. It is getting looked into currently by some important folks.

Pm sent again

Gotcha - Thanks -

I will take the Swaro 15's with adapter for your asking price. Please PM me payment particulars...

White mtn man, private land deer?

Ramshot big game. Follow load data. Best accuracy near max.

Gosh that is a beast.

Right acros the highway this week we had numerous groups try to flag us down at night on our atv's. Stay alert.

Killing me man.... Great job...

Both. Bench and with bipod. Was ringing steel all weekend between 400 and 700 yards with a 9x on the top end. It's not difficult and no feat. A good load and rifle makes things real easy.

I routinely shoot out to 700 yards with a 9x on the top end. You are fine. Fret the adjustments and low-light optics before objective size and power...

You have a 14" twist with that Sendero... Do you reload? If not, I'd find some factory 50 or 55 TTSX and rock on... If you reload, you have a few additional options.

Either the faux ti .22-250 ackley shooting 80 bergers or the 7mm-08 shooting 120 ballistics.

Thanks for looking and have a great day -

For kids, I'd fret the stock choice/LOP as much as the cartridge and what "long range" means to the kids. I'd not try to make them fit into a 13.5" LOP stock which is standard. I'd run a 12.5" LOP stock so they can have a better cheek weld/sight picture. Or, you may be able to get away with it running a scope like a Leupold VX-II fixed 6 as it has massive eye relief and a very generous eye box so you can play with the scope mounting latitude. For cartridge selection, I wouldn't get too fancy. A 6.5's recoil (dependent on the kids of course) with the aforementioned cartridges above with anything but mild 100's or 120's may be a bit much to practice with, which I'll assume they will do if you want to shoot "long range". For 400 yards and in, I would run a vanilla .243, load an 80 grain TTSX at mediocre speeds (under 3,100 or so), get a stock that fits them, run good glass with enough eye relief, and kill you lots of deer. Recoil will be mild to non-existent to us, but if we're talking kids, this is my recommendation. Find a youth model 700 in .243, bed it, and shoot it is what I'd do. Leave grandpa's gun alone...

Viper sold - Other scopes updated with newer, reduced prices.

Checked cams in the desert this afternoon and low and behold had this little guy. He was the biggest of a bach group of 4 bucks... Not real wide but not a bad desert buck...

Stuck bullet is likely an uncharged case. Yellow stuff? I would ditch all reload and and start over. Ps - get a tumbler.

I've been a lurker for a long while now but finally decided to register. Happy New Year's everyone - My wife and I moved to Arizona a couple of years ago and I've been pretty much obsessed with these deer since. Coming fom Texas, we have plenty of whitetails and it took me a bit to adjust to scoring 140" deer to 100" deer. He is just shy of 100" and was pretty rutty in early November, believe it or not. I was able to sneak within 350 yards of him only becasue he was running does all over the mountain. Here is the deer I took this year in early November. I just wanted to contribute since I read these forums almost daily. This years deer: Last years 84" deer relatively fresh to Arizona.

Midwayusa says end of July but they've been wrong for the last 4 months or so...

Impressive shooting for sure, and that's a hot load!
