Follow everything Lance said. I think the reloading manuals are the first thing to start with. You can read up on the fundamentals in those because they're about half load data and half educational.

My opinion is sell it. I have a few reasons. One is because I'm not a big shotgun guy. I have three and those seem to be enough for me. Another is because he would be getting a rifle that he will use and not something that will sit there. I understand the sentimental value but, maybe find another hand-me-down and put a lot of love in it. This is coming from someone that has 45+ guns and about 20 of them were passed on to me.

I'm right handed but I shoot left handed. My right eye has 20/200 vision so I really can't shoot right handed. For 20 years I shot pistols right handed but recently switched to left handed and my accuracy went way up. You think there's not enough rifles out there for leftys, try looking for pistols that are good for leftys.

Personal responsibility is long gone. Everyone knows that. There's no hope. every once in a while there will be a good judge that believes in responsibility but that's rare. All you can do is get out and enjoy it while you can and don't let it bother you.

I see signs in Apache County that read "Cattle Guard Bicycles Cross with Caution". It would be interesting to know what happened. People are really stupid I guess.

I hope nobody is to blame except for them. We're all guilty of hot rodding around from time to time. I try to take the back roads to and from Holbrook when I drive from Mesa. I stay away from that 300 road and a few others near there because of the UTVs. It's insane how many there are and how reckless they are especially during the weekends. I just take the 504 to the Territorial road. Then another route is through Chevlon Retreat. There are less of them out there. This kind of reminds me of a close call I had during the OTC elk hunt when the area north of Hutch Ranch was open. There were so many people out there it was crazy. It was kind of like people gathering at the Cinders or Sand Dunes. In some places you could see UTVs and trucks kicking up dust for miles around and campsites all over the place. A lot of us were serious hunters and some of them brought the girlfriends and their friends. I was driving in the junipers trying to find a quiet place and a UTV with a couple of good looking women turned a corner and about hit me head on. It's hard to describe how close we came to hitting each other. Very scary.

What happened to the topic "Where you Born in Arizona" that had a survey and discussions about being born or not in Arizona?

I work with a few PEs and they are expensive. Try to look at it as money well spent. If you're a one and done client, you will likely pay more than the people that use them a lot. I work for a company that uses them a lot and some of the RFIs I get from them are no charge. That doesn't mean I can bring my personal needs to them and expect them to comp what they do, I wouldn't even ask it of them. One trick that works for me is to sketch out what I need and make some notes of my ideas and propose that to them. If it works, they can stamp it. If not, they generate their own from my sketch. You can use a site plan for this. Any information you can put together like inverts, rim, and finish floor elevations, fixture count, and existing sizes of pipe diameters and distances. Try to include grade elevations as well. Also include utility locations and evevations if necessary. That helps with a lot of the thinking they have to do to generate a plan. It makes it faster for them. That works for anything Engineering like Structural, Mechanical, Civil etc.

Good topic. 2lb for my sporting rifles. I recently got two rifles, a 22 mag Cooper and 6.5 creedmoor in Remington 40X that have a 1lb trigger I use for targets and long range. I'm thinking about that for the sporters now.

I sometimes act stupid on purpose to be funny. One of my favorite is when someone I'm expecting pulls up next to me. I'll ask "are you with Weinberger?" The truck, dumpster, and his uniform all say Weinberger.

Speaking of 4B, why do they always have a weird number of deer permits there? This year they have 314 and I think last year they had 214 or 241, or some off number. All of the other units have numbers that are more whole or end with 0 or 5. I always wanted to ask the biologist that question.

That's what I'm thinking. I've had them close but not as close as you guys are talking. One time I was in an area antler hunting and jumped a doe. Normally they're gone after that, but she kept close. I found where she was bedded and her fawn was there. I wish I had my camera.

It runs, all windows work and it has a small drip from the oil pan.

It might pass. All of the smog equipment is in place.

No, I didn't get it emissions tested because I was planning on a LS swap.

This is the one I got in 98. I still see a few each year his size.

It's been a while since if seen anything real big out there. I don't mean to bring you down but it could be tough finding a book buck. I had a permit there in 98 and had access to the whole unit. Some of those places are now off limits. There were three permits in our group back then and we had no trouble finding bucks, it seemed like Antelope were everywhere. I remember there were 30 tags that year. We saw one real big buck but he escaped. My opinion is go all in on the Antelope tag, you won't get another one of those, you may score big. Good luck!

I miss my dad. He died in 2011. I was lucky growing up because I had both parents. My mom would spoil me and I could get anything I wanted from her. I probably could still talk her into giving me money. My dad made sure I didn't get everything I wanted. It was a nice balance.

That's an excellent point about the camo.

Blue printing is where the action, lugs and Bolt face are trued and centered. Factory production gets them within acceptable tolerances but they are not perfect. The idea is to get the different surfaces as tight and true and as close to centered as possible. Some of the work is done on a lathe. Bedding is the same idea. Factory stocks have kind of rough openings where the barrel lug and action screws meet it and it's usually loose. The bedding, which is epoxy, closes up those rough openings and better holds the action to the stock.

To me a custom is from the ground up, stock, trigger, action, barrel. I have a few I call semi custom that have a new barrel and blueprinted action but the trigger is reworked factory. I have one that has the original barrel but its blueprinted and bedded but with a Timney trigger. Those have factory stocks as well. That's my opinion, it looks like there are a few here that can answer better than me. That's a good question btw.

I have the VX 6 and I think it's a crap scope. I can't speak for the Nightforce but I know people that like them. I think that will be my next scope. Leupold is a set it and leave it scope.

It makes you wonder if there's more than one.
