"Another thing to note is that surrendered tags don't necessarily need to go back to the department, but any of the approved 501c3 organizations. Such as the ones we are all familiar with that assist wounded military, terminally ill youth, and others. One would get their bonus points reinstated and get a tax write off in the process this way." Any process like this needs to be VERY carefully controlled. What if an approved 501C3 had the same intentions as the backers of HB2072 that was (thankfully) defeated? OK, here is a scenario for the tag return. Say I've got max points for elk. With those I can get drawn for a trophy rifle hunt any year. I get an early unit 10 bull tag. Mr. X pays me $5000 cash under the table to "donate" the tag to a specific 501C3. Said 501C3 sells the tag to Mr. X or his wife or son or ??? for another $5000. I get my bonus points back plus the point as if I was not drawn. Next year, by definition I'm at the top of the heap again so I get an early rifle bull tag in unit 23. Wash rinse and repeat, over and over for years. The rules need to be VERY tightly written to prevent all kinds of unforeseen abuse.

Unfortunately, for most guns this will hurt the resale value, but if a guy is going to keep it and shoot it alot, it makes mucho sense!

Many companies have owned the Winchester trademark over the years. If your M94 has a serial number under 2,600,000 it is the most sought after as a "pre-64" with all milled parts. In 1964 they cheapened the M94 and restarted the serial numbers at 2,700,000 to denote the changes. Other versions were made since then with further changes. The value really depends on the vintage almost as much as the condition (within reason).

I'll take it too!!!!!! Thanks Jeff. Bruce

I'll take it if we can work out the logistics. I'm in Flagstaff. Sent you a PM.

Most propane suppliers either have them or can order them for you. I use Graves propane in Flagstaff and I believe they can order various sizes. I assume you either have a tank or rent one at your cabin so I'd call the propane supplier you use. The company that made them for many years was Servel. I think they are now part of Dometic who make them for RVs. As I'm writing that, I'm thinking you might try your local RV place too. Altho you dont want a propane RV fridge, they may be able to help you purchase the residential one. A warning, they are somewhat expensive.

Don, Sent you a PM last night with some thoughts if you don't find some soon. Bruce

I can shoot hole to hole with my 6.5-284 at 100y ,you want bet? Heck no. I was making the point that you have one great rifle. I just wish I could do nearly as well. Who is your builder?

.05 MOA. Wow! That's better than most any benchrest rifle. I'm not sure I could even measure .05". Wonderful!

Recently acquired this 1974 Remington 700ADL 30-06 as part of a package deal. The barrel is 22". The stock has some normal handling scratches from being hunted, but overall is quite nice for 40 years old. I do not know the round count, but the rifling looks sharp and bright. Minor bluing wear. The bolt face still retains most of its bluing so I wouid guess it is fairly low round count. The configuration is all original - stock, finish, sights, buttplate. Has Weaver bases and Weaver rings. Prefer FTF in N. Phoenix. Bruce 602-633-5208

Ruger looks like 10/22 rather than 77/22.

Thanks so much Thomas! It was great meeting you. Bruce

Sent you a PM.

Sent you a PM.

Not associated with Dicks, but just saw they have Remington 700 Varmints and ADLs on sale on Black Friday (actually starts on Thursday PM) for $400 after rebate. Doesnt say in the ad but the picture shows a scope so I'm assuming its that package with a Remington scope they sell. They also show the Rem 770 with a scope for $250. I almost bought one of the varmint 700s last year when they had them on BF, maybe this year.... http://bfads.net/Black-Friday/Dicks-Sporting-Goods/Ad?page=2#viewer http://bfads.net/Black-Friday/Dicks-Sporting-Goods/Ad?page=8#viewer

Sorry if it's a wild goose chase guys. Last year at mid-day on Friday they had lots of them in different calibers available in the N. Phx store. If I'm by there on Friday, I'll check again this year. Update - since I live in Flagstaff and dont want to drive down if not available, I just called the N. Phx store (623-434-3388) and talked to David the Mgr in the firearms section. He said they have a reasonable stock, BUT either tonight yet or during the sale, they will special order any available caliber (for the varmint or ADLs) at the Black Friday price and can pick it up within about 2 weeks.

I'd look at actual sales on ebay rather than asking prices. I think you'll find them generally WAY less than $600. There is quite a difference between Accu-track and Accu-range too. Good luck with your research. I've owned a number of them.

We're gonna love it. Thanks Travis!

Thanks to a great guy! Jake went out of his way to help me get these tires. I sure do owe you some of that good sipping whiskey! Surely one of the great guys on this site. Thanks Jake.

I tried to send you a message but your inbox is full. I'd like to buy the scope and rings if you can just hold them for me until I can have someone pick them up in Tucson or Marana. It will probably be a while as I'm in Flagstaff, but I can send you the funds right away. Thanks, Bruce

Depending on how you feel about the requirement for background checks between private parties, the "compromise" bill put together for discussion in the US Senate next week will limit the ability to buy and sell firearms thru CWT and other forums, etc. The bill says in part that any sale that results from any posting online or in a publication will be subject to a background check. Here is the exact language. Pay close attention to (. "it shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed dealer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed importer to complete the transfer of a firearm to any other person who is not licensed under this chapter, if such transfer occurs- "(A) at a gun show or event, on the curtilage thereof; or "( pursuant to an advertisement, posting, display or other listing on the Internet or in a publication by the transferor of his intent to transfer, or the transferee of his intent to acquire, the firearm."

Just happens to carry his new, in the box, rifle with him on business trips so he can sell it while he is gone. Ummmm
