Do yourself a favor and take a hard look at Kifaru packs. Lifetime warranty, made in the USA and lots of options on bags. Check Rokslide.com classifieds for deals on used frames and bags.

Yeah, 250 sounds pretty slow imo. It will get the job done, but I think the happy zone for speed is 270-290 fps. I am currently flinging VAP's weighing 450ish, ( cant remember exact) at 280. This has produced some serious pass thru's. Almost a negative, because I have lost 2 arrows that blew thru the vitals, and skipped so far I could not find them. haha. Thats the only negative I have been able to come up with since shooting Micro's.

Geez, guy has some thin skin. Lots of dishing, but couldn't take it. If he really is looking into getting an attorney, he has sunken to an all-time low. I guess have a couple of midget sons has finally taken it's toll on the old fart.

They will warranty it. With their carbon frames, it is not "if" it will crack, it is "when" will it crack. They have gotten better over the years, but they still crack. Contact them, and they should make it right.

Online costco price includes delivery on most every safe you purchase. Garage drop. I used to sale safes, and each company will sell you on why their safe is better than the other guys'. Fort knox builds some of the heavier safes, but they also are heavy on your wallet. The Browning safe is made by prosteel, and they are a quality safe. IMO all the higher end safes (prosteel, liberty, AMSEC,fort knox, heritage) are quality safes and it really comes down who has the better deal at the time you are ready to purchase.

Congrats Cazador! I love that you drew with 5 points. That is the beauty of Arizona's draw system. 80% of the tags drawn are pure luck!

The new Christenson Arms rifles are Top Notch. I think the Ridgeline is going to be a big hit. Lots of gun for $2k. Good luck in your search.

different bank.

This warm weather has my trigger finger getting itchy! Have any of you guys out fishing, started to see any carp on the surface yet? I think it is a little bit early, but 90* this early in February is rare and I am hoping it is kick starting the carp activity.

Pretty sure Sdrhunter dropped the mic after posting that email. Pretty hard for the Big bo' to argue any other point. Go find another stud somewhere else. I am sure pronghorn guide service already has a few toads on the watch list.

I have the LR hunter on one of my guns. The baro pressure/temp difference is pretty minimal at yardages under 500-600 yards. I print out a different chart if I am at lower elevation that tells me my adjustments from my actual turret for over 500 yards. I like the turret, but I do not shoot 600+ to often ( never so far) on animals. If I planned on shooting over 600, I think I would skip the kenton and just use the moa turret on the scope.

Your Africa mounts are insane! Congrats on a fine showing.

I know it is last minute, but if anyone has any way of emailing me any disounts or tickets, I am planning on going down there in a few hours. Please pm me if you can help save me some $. Thanks

Why risk buying a used gun from out of state to save a few hundred $. Just buy a new one, and do the extra stuff as you can afford to. Most new guns from the factory will shoot accurate enough to get to "long" range. If you do buy a gun from out of state, and it turns out to be a dud, you are now stuck with what can turn into a real headache. This can happen when buying a new gun as well, but atleast you have some recourse here. If it were me, I would only buy a "long range ready" gun used, if I could shoot it first to verify it's accuracy. Lots of guys that sell rifles on here are more than willing to meet at the range to make sure both parties are happy with the sale/purchase.

Stomp--- You should stop trying to educate people that already know everything. Your knowledge falls on deaf ears. Those of us that care about ballistics, and bullet bc's are wasteing our time understanding it. Point your gun at the animal, pull the trigger and the animal dies is much simpler to understand.

Buds gun shop sells remington 300 ultra senderos for $1087.00 shipped brand new. Add $50.00 for ffl transfer, and you are still cheaper than the used one.

I think a lot of people think that guided hunt = giant animal. This is NOT the case. Some of the elite guides consistantly take larger than average animals, but not all guides do. Same goes for the paying client. Some Clients are trophy hunting, and some are just wanting to learn how to hunt and are sick of coming home empty handed. I know of plenty of people that have paid for a guide, came home with an average, or sometimes even below average animal and are tickled to death. Everyone has their reason for hiring a guide, and not all are looking to shoot a 400" bull or a 110" coues. My point being, if you want to become a guide, go for it. Start with a lesser known guide service, and be one of their guides. They cover the permits and insurance, and you are simply guiding. Guiding can be rewarding and difficult at the same time. Good luck

How often do you use your reticle for corrections? I have always been a mildot or duplex reticle guy because of the simplicity of it. I usually dial for both wind and elevation. When I look thru some of those "busy" reticles, it takes away from my target. If you could, please explain why you use those more complex reticles. I soon ( in the next few months) will probably be buying a higher end scope for my next build. Not as high as what you are looking at, but probably somewhere near 1k$. I have never really considered one of the busier reticles, but maybe with a little education, I could be swayed.

Have you looked at the higher end zeiss scopes. The victory series is pretty BA, and I saw they have, or are going to have a 4.8-35 coming out. Good luck in your search. Those S&B's are real nice too.

I need to pick up a few more arrows for this season, what do you guys use? I have tried a few different ones over the last couple years, and am curious if the carbon ones are worth the extra $. Which tip do you prefer, and lastly do all of you use safety slides?

What's the report Buffhunter? I never made it out this last weekend, but will for sure be on the water this weekend. We are going to hit pleasant, (since it's close) and I will report my findings.

There is no such thing as the NR pass. You are still in the same drawing pool, however, if you are drawn, you will be capped at the 10% NR cap.

You WILL mind the work after you have started it. Very labor intensive. If you plan on laying tile over the bare sub floor, i do not see you needing to refloat the whole floor. Maybe fill in a few small holes, but not refloat the entire floor. I would suggest paying someone if you can afford it. They will use the same hammers you will, but will get it done in a couple days. If you want to try it, I would say start with a small room, see how hard it is, and go from there. The type of thinset the previous installers used and how they prepped the sub floor will determine how hard it will be to remove. Good luck

Thanks for the info 125coues. I always like reading non-biased reviews of gear. It seems like 90% of reviews these days have some hidden agenda in the background. Keep the comparison's coming, I am always looking to buy something new.
