I have exactly 21 rounds through the new 6.5SS, all with the 156. Have not tried the 140s in the new one yet. But I have them running 3120 in my old 6.5SS. Have them up to 3166 in other 6.5SSs I have loaded for. I have 200 of the 6.5mm 131 Hammer Hunters in route for the new 6.5SS too. Hoping to push them 3160-3220+ when I get them in hand and load work complete.

New version of the ones I have used for years. Thousands of hours behind them. Awesome glass. Great price.

Take both phones. Never hunted up in 12BW, but I have been all over the areas within 150 miles in most directions. Reception is spotty. But usually can get signal from most areas. Awesome draw, good luck on the hunt. Don't shoot the first mature buck you see unless it is a true brute. This is a great year to have a tag.

Prayers sent. All we can do right now.

I agree. Not all "ring-necked Snakes" have the ring behind the head. If it is, It should get some color on the belly as it matures. Also, could be a black-headed snake depending on where she lives. Smith's (most common and widespread), Plains, Chihuahuan, or Yaqui. Either way, Good snake=do not kill.

Don't use this guy! Apparently, his shop is way too hot and the horns melt off the antelope!!! JK, awesome bucks. I love those character bucks. I would shoot those in a heartbeat.

There is a place down off 35th and McDowell or close to there that has the same type of items/prices. I have a few of the big totes for camping. They are awesome, and were very inexpensive for what they are.

Deep canyons are exactly where you should expect to see bulls.

Are you looking for a rifle build INCLUDING mounting the scope? Or just mounting a scope on a current .30-378 Weatherby, zeroing it, and getting load data for a custom turret (which are fine for 500 yards or so, but not so much after that)? Factory ammo or handloads?

Axisworks, Phoenix Custom, or Southern Xpress. All "east side".

Don't let the idea of seeing bulls now but they won't be there in November dissuade you. I see bulls up high every year in other units, exactly where I see them through the summer. It is HUNTING pressure that will push them. They could still be in the same general areas, but they will be holed up in the thick, nasty, inaccessible places in the unit by end of November.

Whatever you buy, Get them from Discount and buy the road hazard. I have 127k on my set of 37" BFG MT KM2s I bought in 2007 on my F250 Super Duty diesel.....of course, DTC has paid to replace about 16 of them for me.

The raffle tag owner still had to hire a guide, so yes, break out the checkbook. Although, if I was fortunate enough to win the Super Raffle Tag, I would probably hire a guide too.

Your granddaughter might see it better if she turns her binos around.... That is pretty cool.

Do you want Picatinny or Weaver rings? Or Picatinny rings made by Weaver? They are different. Weaver rings will fit in a Picatinny rail. But Picatinny rings will NOT fit in a Weaver rail. If you are using the bases that came with the rifle, they are Weaver bases. Picatinny rings will not fit. If you swapped a Picatinny rail on it, then Picatinny or Weaver rings will both fit. If you WANT a 20MOA Picatinny rail for the Savage Axis, let me know. I have a brand new EGW base I will sell for cheap.

Reloading is NOT cheaper. What reloading does is let you tailor a load to YOUR rifle using the highest end components you want. It let's you make consistant loads. it lets you pick the bullet you want to shoot. And it is 95% of the time producing more accurate loads. I agree, if you only shoot 100 rounds a year, not really worth it. Initial set up costs FAR outweigh returns. There is not enough difference between the 143 ELD-X and 147 ELD-M to warrant any decision. See which one shoots better and use it. Either will kill game the same.

El Rancho.

Meopta Meostar. I absolutely love my 10x42s, 15x56s, and S2 20-70×82 spotter.. Thousands of hours behind them. Never any eye fatigue, color to me is better than Swaro, clarity for 90% of the FOV on par with Swaro. The outer 5% is where Swaro wins.

Can't believe no one has jumped o. The Swaro LRF. That is half price with no tax.

Please don't let my wife see these!!!

Barrel maker? Contour? Length? Twist rate? Trigger? Rifle weight? Bedded?

I have seen some BRUTES in 6B. But not a lot. They are there.

No comment....

Good luck. I lost one of my guys when he was only about 18 months old for a day. I was heartbroken and going nuts. Got lucky after 8 hours, and he was waiting where I had parked my truck originally before driving around to look for him.
