St Mary's was a solid team, played very well as a unit. If they had anywhere near the talent arizona has they would've won that game. Tough game!

How do the manfrotto 190/290 c.f. handle stiff breeze?
-
It's the legs that shake
-
I completely agree greyghost, but I think it would be worth us moving our cams for the greater good of guides not dominating those areas as much
-
I like the idea of no cameras on water and limiting number of cameras per person. I personally feel like the way a lot of guides/outfitters hunt,with a hundred trail cams and even more glassers spread out looking for bucks for clients is one of the biggest scourges we have to us who do it ourselves.im not anti guide, just don't like how some guides make it made more of a buck finding production then what I consider hunting. Just my opinion,can't blame them for satisfying the demand to make money.

dustin25 replied to lweckerle's topic in Classified Ads
Where are you located? -
Obviously not first in line here, but I'm looking for some 15x56 swaros as well. Open to slc hd or non hd, so after the original poster is taken care of I'd love to see what's out there.thanks

I have the ruger american predator in 6.5 from the other thread.I have a viper pst on mine and it shoots great. I was also the guy that floated my barrel before I shot it, dosent take a rocket scientist to know that the barrel shouldn't touch the stock. II don't know why he says it looks like mice gnawed on it, mine you'd never even know I did anything to it by looking at it. 1/2" dowel and sandpaper did the trick. Not saying this is the greatest rifle ever,but for its price it may well be
-
True, but once I did it shoots great,and like I said it was very easy to open it up. Just don't wanna see such an easy fix deter people from the best shooting sub $1000 rifle I've ever owned
-
You watched the video of the kid shooting 1800 yards on YouTube I have no idea what you're talking about or if that's some kind of jab I don't understand. But I do know that the barrel needed free floated to shoot consistently so that's what I did.
-
The trigger on my predator adjusted down to 3 lbs and feels good to me. And no I didn't shoot the rifle before messing with the stock, i could see it needed sanded down in order to stay free floated so I just did it.
-
I recently bought a ruger American predator in the 6.5.I put decent scope and rings on it , opened up the barrel channel so it would stay free floated on a bipod ( 30 minutes with a dowel and sand paper), put bipod and brake on it, and it shoots .75 moa or better groups consistently with factory ammo. Maybe I got lucky,but I know guys that have the same rifle with similar results. This rifle is a shooter! 350 for rifle,about 900 total is what I have into it.and it weighs about 8 pounds and barely recoil at all. Just food for thought, i am a savage guy as well.good luck with your search, 6.5 cm is a great round
-
Cool got two ordered,that's a great deal.thanks fellas
-
Where can I buy one?
-
Thats one loud call if that buck reacted at 864 yards....Look like nice bucks to me!

to the guy who hunted a tank south of tucson,don't worry, i cleaned up your mess for you.you know who you are. 20 gauge Remington shells, most likely you're a poor shot with your o/u (shells found in sets of 2) and you stood on the burm next to the tank chain smoking pall malls. And if that leaves any doubt,you left about a dozen dead dove where you parked. I cleaned up the birds, over 20 shells,and the pack worth of butts you flicked.I'm sure you were gonna go back and clean up like any true sportsman/decent man would, but I just cleaned up after you because I had nothing better to do with the last half hour of shooting light today. I'll say hi if I ever see you out there,trust me.

Huge buck
-
I'm begging for a pat on the back.... I don't know where I expected it to go,maybe the douche would happen to read it,maybe I'm just venting my frustration of people with no respect for something I love so much. Why does that bother you? You hunt south of tucson and smoke pall malls or somethin?
-
Obviously wasn't using hot loaded hard cast .357 ammo.... that's the key
-
Between the two guns you have,the 357 is the clear winner.get the heaviest hardcast underwood ammo you can and it'd do the job.I just got back from alaska,and after seeing bear in the wild,as close as 30 yards,it became clear that a handgun is a last resort behind bear spray.but I do believe it's worth carrying. There was a bear attack on a hiking guide while I was up there where the bear charged again after being bear sprayed.also,it's not going to be effective if the wind is blowing in your face.I took a super blackhawk. 44mag and a glock 20 10mm with me and carried both,but next time I go I will most likely take the glock,it's just much easier to carry,and with the 220gr hardcast ammo it will do the job in a pinch. A guy I know in alaska killed a big brown bear that got within 10feet of his young son while they were fishing last year with the same setup. The 357 is just slightly less powerful then the 10mm with the right ammo

Looking for a Guide
dustin25 replied to azbackwoods's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
There are dove guides?! DOVE ? Haha -
Good luck with that 9mm when you go to grizzly country.maybe just take a 22 and put 50 rounds on target vs the bear? I'll take a gun with a good likelihood to do the job.
-
Talk about armchair quarterbacking... watch the video of the grizzly charge that snapchat just posted, then come back and tell me it's just fine to carry a 9mm in that situation to protect clients. I leave for Alaska tomorrow, i will be taking a 44 with hot hard cast loads because it's my responsibility to protect my family. I will also be carrying bear spray as a first option,because it is proven to be more effective in deterring bears,but not usable in certain situations. I understand that I will most likely need neither. But if the one in 1000 situation occurs I will be ready, because it's worth it to me to defend my family and carry 4 extra pounds around. There might be no second chance when deAling with those massive bears.
