While I am happy about the ending, not what I expected. That guy is nuts. Glad he got the wife and kids in the truck first.

Thanks a lot. As soon as I saw the title, I started singing that song.

For the .300RUM, you can get sooo much more recoil reduction by going with several different brakes. But to answer your question, I do not know anyone who does Magnaporting. It is not very popular anymore.

"Because nature tastes so good."

I have heard great results with the A-Max bullets on game, but I have no personal experience with them. Hornady has a 140gr. A-Max load. http://www.hornady.com/store/6.5-Creedmoor-140-gr-A-MAX/ Nosler makes a 140gr. Custom Comp load. http://www.nosler.com/match-grade-rifle-ammunition Nosler makes a 140gr. NBT load. http://www.nosler.com/trophy-grade-ammunition Copper Creek Ammunition has 9 different loadings. http://coppercreekammo.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=48 Winchester makes a 140gr. SMK load. http://www.winchester.com/Products/rifle-ammunition/Advanced/Match/Pages/S65CM.aspx I have no problem shooting Match HP bullets on game. They are not recommended by the manufacturer, but in my experience, work phenomenally. Shot placement is priority #1, and match bullets do that just fine. I have a 6.5 Super LR, but if I had a Creedmoor, I would help you out and load some up for you. Buy some dies, and components, and have someone show you how. You will have a ton more availability. I like the Berger bullets myself.

I would go less magnification and better glass all day long.

I agree with all above. Great job on getting the kids out of the house and into the outdoors. Nice cat, and I hope to see your daughter with something soon too!

I love the Roman nose on that buck. Nice mature toad.

Shoot what you are used to. No good will come of trying something new right before/during archery season. If you plan on shooting one this fall, start now. As with everything, practice, practice, practice.

Awesome job. I love seeing the next generation out getting it done!

Much respect to the hunter who did not pull the trigger without an ethical shot! Much respect to the adults who get the kids out into the field as well. Congrats on redemption the following day too.

No joke, I was rough guessing him at 114", so was going to throw a little for the two points on the left G2 and say 114 3/8". And I suck at scoring Coues. That is an awesome find for sure. And great job on getting the kids out in the field!

I am so glad your family is OK. Not to make this trivial, but think about this... The wrong-way driver on I-17 yesterday morning hit and killed a lady. She was a friend of my older daughter. 25 years old with a husband and two kids, one only 4 months old. "But for the grace of God, go I" comes to mind. I hope you are all still feeling well, and I thank God it was not worse. Material items can be replaced. Lives and health cannot.

I have another idea for a paint job too, and might try it on a climbing helmet I have....

Not hydro-dipping, but I have thought about having Custom Gun Coatings do the paint for me. But then I wouldn't have a project for the summer months! So, I think I will try it a few more times to tweak the results, including using smaller stencils for the white/dark brown portions, but not too bad of a turnout this attempt. If only the cheap plastic stock would allow the paint to stick better....

Any reason for a MagnaPort over a thread on muzzle brake? I don't like to cut into the barrel/rifling myself.

1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup water 2 tbsp. white vinegar Montreal Steak Seasoning 1 clove fresh chopped garlic 1 tsp. crushed red pepper Put all in a ziplock bag and marinate 2-3 hours. Wrap in bacon Cook on hot (500°) grill (flip after 1 minute to sear both sides quickly) until desired temperature (I prefer medium rare for venison/elk, medium on beef) takes about 4-7 minutes per side depending on thickness of cut Consume!!! We make stuffed Pasilla/poblano or jalapeño peppers and corn on the cob on the grill with these. MONEY!!!

Not sure I agree with this statement on the Superformance factory ammo getting 150fps more than a hand load. Factory rounds are almost always moderate loads for liability reasons, so I can see the claims of being 150fps faster than some factory loads. Just about any hand loader who knows what he is doing can better factory velocities by at least 100fps, some even more. And usually with much better consistency and accuracy results with tweaking. Besides, what if the hand loader uses Superformance powder that is available to the public? I would bet better velocities over the factory Superformance stuff. Plus, there are two different .280 Rem Superformance factory loads in the 139gr. bullet weight (GMX & SST) @ approximately 3070 & 3090fps, nearly identical to the .270 Win Superformance load. A quick comparison from Superformance stated velocities vs. known actual velocities from my rifles: .223 w. 55gr bullet from 24" barrel: Super @ 3275fps, my hand loads are 3361fps with Benchmark, from a 24" AR. .257 Roberts+P w. 117gr bullet from 24" barrel: Super @ 2945, my hand loads for a .250 Ackley (2gr. less case capacity) with 115 Bergers were 3104fps w. H414 & IMR4350. (not a true apples/apples comparison, but close enough) .25-06 w. 117 bullet from 24" barrel: Super @ 3110fps, my very mild hand loads are 3180fps with H4831 and 115 Bergers (from 28" barrel, so take off approximately 100fps for barrel length, and I had 4 other faster loads up to 3308fps, just not as accurate) .270 Win w. 130gr bullet from 24" barrel: Super @ 3200, my hand loads were 3185fps w. H4350 (had faster, but this was most accurate) .270 Win w. 140gr bullet from 24" barrel: Super @ 3090, my hand loads were 3105fps w. H4831 I tried the Superformance in my .270 Win., and was never impressed with the accuracy any more than other factory ammo.

I don't have a flat Timney, but I do have a flat trigger CMC on my AR. It is fine, I just got it because it was on sale. Not really much difference except for the feel on your finger.

I have two Rem 700 triggers set to 2.5# if you want one for free.

Timney Calvin Elite. Adjustable pull from 8oz. to 2.5#. Mine is amazing.

Sorry 4Falls. I know how work + family + not enough hours in the day add up.

You don't get out enough.... I have already used mine at least 8 days and 50+ hours this year alone. And I haven't even seriously hunted this year yet!

Bobcat, coyote, fox, javelina, feral cat, domestic cows, deer, abandoned dogs, numerous birds of prey, rabbits....and a chicken.

I agree with not needing to take it down. I just wish finding the AZ top 10 P&Y non-typical mulies was not like a needle in a haystack search without having to buy a book.
