I wish them luck. It was flowing over 10k cfs when I checked after the emergency operations center opened up. Not safe at all. Resources were put on both sides in case it overflow and became impassable.

Body pulled out of a car in a running wash today in Tucson. Be careful out there.

Anyone planning on hunting with a supressor this year?
CSNeoM4A1 replied to AxisWorks LLC's topic in Other Hunting Gear
Used mine last year. Only negatives I can think of is the extra weight you are carrying for the suppressor and extra length of your rifle with it attached. Not that big a deal. Sure is nice as far as recoil and sound reduction. Everyone still knows you fired your rifle, but it makes it pretty tough to determine from what direction you fired from. -
Looks like to me you have to be a Gaia Pro subscriber for that to work?

Which caliber of tikka t3 lite for me?
CSNeoM4A1 posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
This will be my 5th year hunting coues deer. I have been successful 2 of those years using my Remington 700 AAC in .308 with a 20inch barrel. One year was 300 yards and the other was 350 yards. As you can tell from last years picture my set up is quite heavy (13 lbs ready to hunt). It's set up as a target rifle and I want to lighten it up a bit. I am going to be purchasing a tikka t3 lite, hopefully the fluted super lite version. My question is what caliber should I get. I have no preference so anything is fair game. I want to hunt deer and in the future elk up to a max of 600 yards or so. My collection consists of the 308 and an ar15 currently. Do I get another 308 to have ammo commonality or a larger caliber to make it out to 600 yards easier? If a larger caliber which one? Also, what threading is everyone getting on their t3 super lites? If possible I would love to be able to use the suppressor some times. Also I am willing to transfer the scope over or purchase a vortex viper 4-16 x 44. The rifle in the picture is the R700 .308 AAC 20 inch with the vortex viper pst 6-24x50 FFP and YHM .30 cal Ti suppressor. -

I have been researching that and it appears that an adapter would be required if I wanted to use the standard 5/8x24. I believe I can get a qd mount for the supressor from yhm in 1/2x28. It appears the superlites have enough meat to thread 1/2x28. -

Link didn't work. What is he asking for it and where was he located? -
Willing to seperate the rifle and scope? How much for just the rifle? And where are you located?

Not that exact model but still Remington 700 in 308 with the m40 stock that weighs 13lbs loaded as shown. I have used it for 4 seasons but am now looking at something lighter. With an eberlestock backpack using a scabbard it is not a problem but carrying it off center on the side of a pack was uncomfortable. Shooting with the weight of it was a dream, especially with the suppressor ( only the last year not all 4) Hearing the complaints from my hunting partner who carried the rifle while I carried the deer was not so much fun.

I used cheap plugs on strings before I splurged on a suppressor.

Is the 7mm mag something I am going to need to out a brake on? I am not too keen on having a brake on a hunting rifle. The largest recoiling caliber I have shot is only 30'06 and don't want to get anything too much more than that, especially in such low weight rifle. -

So I found a vortex viper hs 4-16x44 for $335 shipped today and went ahead and got it. Still haven't decided on a caliber although I am leaning towards another 308 just to keep my ammo needs all the same. Either that or the 7mm looks tempting. -

So I called sportsmans and they confirmed that the calibers they stock are the same as cabelas in the super lites. Also $200 cheaper. -

Thanks. I will be putting a limb saver on it for sure, whatever caliber I end up getting. And yes, I think I am looking for 1 rifle to handle all my big game hunting. -

How is the recoil of the 7mm compared to a 30'06? 30'06 is the biggest non braked caliber I have shot. -
The DRR Rescue app for iOS and android is good manual that many local firefighters are trained in. It certainly skips most river reading skills but it will give you a good idea of the capabilities of people trained in swift water. Unless you are already experienced, your local community college probably offers a swift water rescue class which should include how to read a river. It wouldn't be totally applicable but would be better than nothing.

As someone who sometimes pulls people (and mostly bodies) out of running washes for a living, I would highly advise against it. Much more danger than meets the eye. If you were doing it anyway, like you said, go when it is done raining and not full on crazy. USGS realtime water flows can help you judge the conditions.

It's funny you say that because I bought a new pack for this fall precisely to carry this gun easier. I picked up an eberlestock gunslinger 2. In the past I used an external frame with a backpack slung over it. I simply hooked my rifles sling over one of the side posts. It worked alright but it made the weight on my back terribly lop sided. As far as binoculars I have been using the pair in the picture. Bushnell customs 10x50 with a 7 degree field of view. Eventually I wouldn't mind upgrading but I have been pretty happy with them so far. I use them off a tripod pretty extensively. -
I have the vortex viper pst 6-24x50 ffp. It's not the lightest but that's the only negative I can say about it. It's been nothing but great for me. I have had the misfortune to test vortex's customer service and was not disappointed.

What are your thoughts on the scope? Transfer the 6-24x50 over? Or get a 4-16x44 so I can use low mounts? I had to use a raised stock and a stock pack to get a comfortable cheek weld in the 308. It seems I am more comfortable with a really low cheek weld. Just concerned that 16x won't be quite enough for 600 yards. I shot at 12-14x on my 350 yard buck last year. -
Is this still available?

So cabelas shows the caliber options for the superlite as 308, 30'06, 270, 300 win mag, 7mm rem mag. I don't know if sportsmans has any other options available. -

I don't reload and don't plan on doing it. Would that change your recommendation at all?
