They are great rifle never heard anything bad. Only thing I didn't was their muzzle breaks. I don't like ports on the bottom, kicks up dirt from prone

Well done

I don't know about the rut, but during the October hunts during full moon I have seen less deer in the day compared to a quarter moon or no moon.

I remember you posting a pic of that rifle you wanted. I didn't know you got it!

I went to this one as well. I believe its called "Arizona Pheasant and Chukar". I had a bad experience as well. The guy released the birds right in front of us and told us we can only hunt in this one specific field and only between these 3 corn rows. He said if the birds run into any of the other fields they get away.(But we still paid for them which is to be expected) He also laughed when I said I wont need any of his dogs help and that I will be using my Britt. My dog found every bird in the field we were allowed to hunt and held point very well on all of the birds. We didn't find 3 birds at the end of the hunt. He said: "You are missing 3 birds let me let my dogs out and get some exercise and see if we can find them." He let out about 6 dogs all at once and my dog was put back into the kennel. His dogs were running all over the place including the fields we were not allowed to hunt. All three birds had ran into fields we were not allowed to hunt. At the end of the day he said "Usually if you bring your own dog and I have to get mine out to find the rest of the birds I charge you more but Im just being a nice guy today."(He was fishing for a tip) I didn't give him one because I told him I didn't ask you to bring your dogs out that was his choice. If I did it again I would only buy the Chukars because they would hold real well.Pen raised birds seem to always have short tail feathers. The only way to get really long tail feathers is to shoot wild pheasants. I went wild pheasant hunting a couple years ago and all the roosters had 20" tail feathers. Funny how that happen! The Last bird I spotted and it took the dogs another min to find it.

Shoot him and say he jumped over the fence! :)

Ive been wondering how for a while, but this is the only quote ive read that makes since. How much aid do we give mexico?

Wow that unit is a keeper then

I didn't want to hijack Greyghost85 thread. But do we know many rounds each caliber can handle if loaded near top peak? Also does anybody have an idea how many loads can some one do with a light load ? What have you guys seen??

Congrats!! Glassing up 2-3 heard's a day??? I have never glassed up javalina yet. Thousands of deer but not one pig

Tikka T3 is the way to go for off the shelf! Pick one up a 260 rifle for around 650 dollars or a Tikka CTR 260 or 6.5 creedmoor. Sadly tikka doesn't make a standard 6.5 creedmoor rifle.

I am with Big Browns sorry guys. Plus we are doing Disneyworld and the week after that its our anniversary all in that month. To much going on!! If I decide to make it out there it will be last second but I won't throw a monkey wrench in and disrupt your shoot out, Ill just watch for fun. Unless you have someone drop out. But don't plan on me, if I make it great!

I went to the other place and i don't remember what it was called. It was a single guy who owned it and he used to work there, but has his own fields in Maricopa. It was alright, and I took my dad with me and the birds looked like in the same condition you were talking about. He hired some extreme red neck young couple to help them out. I notice the same thing when he said "once the bird flies and lands its a dead bird" so you shot at it anyways even if its a bad shot! Dogs kept pointing a dead feathers and one bird couldn't even fly. Once I plucked the feathers off I knew why! There was almost no meat on the breast. It didn't even have enough muscle to fly. I bagged out and my dad got two. Over all it was alright but nothing great. It was more of a "just to say we did it" kind of thing.

Mr Owl only counted to 3 before he got to the Tootsie pop!! That mean we hunters are screwed then!!!

I have the 1600B and love the beam. I think the farthest I hit was 2300 yards, and hitting 500-1200 yards is never a problem. The hardest thing to hit is when the sun rays are right in line with your laser you will have a hard time picking it up, but same with everything else. From what I've read you can't input your ballistics into it. You pick one thats closest to your rifle, or you do the strait line of sight and the 1600B will tell you the degree of angel and you can put that into your app. If Im wrong about the ballistic I would like to hear how to do it from someone who has done it.

So probably another 100 on load development, another 50-100 double checking Moa drops and another 1--200 rounds on practice. That would put me already on a new rifle 400-500 rounds. Those numbers are probably high but if I practice with it about 40 shots a year it will last me another 10 years then.

Wow!!

I had 12s glad I went with 15s! I can see lots of details on antlers with my Cabelas Euros out to a 1000 yards, and pick out spike bucks out of the group. But I bought 8s Athlon Cronus from Douglas-Gun-Guy for the hunts in the pines or thick stuff.

No surprise there its a Dodge!!

Thats what i've read and im only doing the line of sight and adding the degrees to the shooter app. But from what I've read the angle shots on the 1600B is just a chart it has loaded up to use. So you need to pick the one closes to it. Well at to 600 yards variables can change big time. Maybe not 400 yards. Even shooting 400 yards 15 degrees its not enough to change impact on a deer. I have shot out to 1000 yards at a 8 degree hill. I think it was really only about a couple of inches off. But shooting at 20-30 degrees you will shoot over its back. Ive read elsewhere that you will never get true exact shots using angle because the math comes out wrong (close but wrong). You need exact line of sight and exact degree. (from what Ive read, I would love see to others input on this) Does the Sig 2000 range finder have a better angle shooting program??

Awesome buck! I hunt rifle coues and archery mule's. Ill be out tomorrow morning chasing some mules.

When I was a kid we just shot and then made adjustments. My first deer I ever shot at I could barley make him out on my grandpas 4x scope. My brother said it dropped and hit a foot below his feet. I was aiming at the top of his back with a 100 yd zero. That means that bullet dropped 4 ft. Meaning 30-06 150 grain was probably shooting close to around 450-500 yards and didn't know it. Never knew any better! By the time I really got into hunting there were range finders.

I am assuming abused means over heating the barrel correct?

Of all the stories I've read it seems like 1 out of every 5 barrels that is the wrong twist seems like it will shot that bullet with no problems. Then Im reading about guys who are shooting the 6.5 CM shooting the 148 ELD-M which on the box says 1:7 but these guys have 1:8's and quite of few of them are shooting lights out. 1:8s work best for 140's but who knows it could work out really sweet for you! The loading part I have know idea. But Ill enjoy reading about the loads that end up being posted here. Good luck and let us know how it all pans out.

Explains the two options again? I have a 1600 b Leica and all I do is put in the yards and add the degree in the app. That's good,enough right??!! What's the angle options?
