Great packs. Taylor carries one, and has hauled out a lot of game.

Do you have the origonal grips? The Crimson Trace?

I have two purchased, and all paperwork complete. ATF has cashed my tax stamp checks. Just a waiting game now. Thunderbeast Ultra 7 in 6.5mm for use with my 6CM, 25 SST, 6.5SLR, 6.5SS shorty Thunderbeast Ultra 9 in .308 for use with my 6.5SS, .280AI, 7RM. Can easily handle every rifle the Ultra 7 will too. Both TOMB (thread over muzzle brake) install. I also purchased two extra TB CB (compact brake) for other rifles to easily switch as needed. Just started a short 6.5SS build specifically for a hunting rifle to use the TBAC Ultra 7. Rifle will be ready by hunting season, but not sure if my suppressor will be in by then.

Sucks buddy.

Labradar....

7E can be tough. But, there are some good bulls in there. Even on bad years.

I love mine. Fits in your pocket, lightweight, one hand easy to use, very accurate narrow beam width, and I have gotten readings on rocks and trees out past 1800yds.

Pretty nice set up.

I think it is very hard to make correlations of different barrel length velocities in different rifles, or even when switching barrels on the same rifle. Different barrels will shoot different velocities, even at the same length. A tight bore will get you more velocity than a loose bore. Groove numbers, design, twist rate, shape, cut will net different velocities. Factory ammo can vary a lot by each shot, each box, each lot. Powder selection can make a big difference in velocities vs. barrel length. Faster burning powders are more efficient in shorter barrels. So they see smaller gains in longer barrels or losses in shorter. Cartridge case capacities can make a difference in barrel length vs velocities. If you are trying to burn 100 grains of Retumbo in a 20" barrel, expect a huge fireball at the muzzle, because I would bet a lot of that powder won't be burned by the time the bullet leaves the barrel. But a .221 Fireball in a 30" barrel with 20gr of Benchmark powder has probably all burned up by 16" of barrel length. Nothing left to keep pushing velocities for the next 14". Bullet weights can have an effect on velocities in different barrel lengths. So many variables go into the equation, it is hard to have the same results every time. Only your rifle, barrel, cartridge, and load will tell you what YOUR rifle will do. To me, there are a few reasons to want to shorten a barrel from 26" to 20". Lighter carry weight, stiffer barrel, more handy in the thick woods. You can probably change your loads, even with the same bullet, and lessen your drop in velocity when cutting off 6" of barrel length. Powder, primer, seating depth. As for physics, I have no clue how cutting off 6" of barrel length, with all other factors staying unchanged, will not effect velocity. But it does happen. I would place my money on powder burn rate.

Scoped weights, minus bipod & ammo.

Only two? My "lightweight" mountain rifle is 8lbs 13oz. Everything else is between 9.5-11lbs, except for my dedicated LR elk rifle at 15.5lbs. I would rather carry an extra 1-2# and have a stable platform to shoot from. Even the 300-500 yard shots are much easier with a 9.5# rifle.

Light rifles are harder to shoot accurately just because of shooter input. It takes a lot of shooting to get comfortable with them. To me, a longer range rifle should be 9-10+ pounds. 7 pound rifles are great to carry in the mountains, and work well for shots out to 500-600 or so.

Do you have anything other than a printed flyer? Like a certificate or something?

Home Depot online. White Cap on 19th & Deer Valley Grainger on 19th & Rose Garden Might want to call them before you come down. I doubt they keep everything in stock.

More prayers sent. We are thinking about you guys.

Me: 4 pts early bull, 25pts antelope Taylor: 7pts early bull, 9pts antelope Wife: BPs only

Absolutely have chances at late rifle bull tags in numerous units. My cousin drew 4 years in a row (all bull), and son-in-law drew 3 years in a row (all bull). Taylor drew 4 years in a row too. Bull/bull/bull/cow.

Prayers sent Kev.

Taylor has had a portal account since she was 12 I think.

Yeah, You better call Monday. SS# is a requirement for applicants. Must be your first time applying him, otherwise should have had a history for AZGFD.

I have a few you can try.

12 apps for me.

No radios here either. Hand signals, landmarks, etc. Right, left, slow down, still there, gone, game is up, etc.

Salt attracts game. All kinds too.
