Thanks Kevin! Carried it last week for coyote/lion gun. Did not fire it, so round count is still the same, but it caught some dust on the ATV. I'll get it cleaned up this week. Bump it up.

Bump.

CZ 452-2E in .22 WMR. BEAUTIFUL wood stock on this thing. Shoots great. I have the stock wrapped to protect it because I have two knuckleheads who used to target practice with me, who were reliably unreliable in not banging my guns. This gun is a good shooter. Bench shooting with it only. It has a crappy Redfield I inherited from my father on it. I prefer to keep the scope. I have three magazines for it. The prices on these are all over the place online. I know what I have in it, so I am asking $550. Edit: located in Sierra Vista, but willing to meet part way to make a deal. Travel to Tucson regularly. Trips to Phoenix sporadically. Hunting trip in 5b in a few weeks, so can deliver along the way...

Sold.

Been in the woods for a week. Finally caught up on PMs. The other deal fell through, so this is still available. Will meet up within reason to sell. Edit: scope was removed for the other deal, so I have both, but not mounted.

I am fairly confident I have this sold, just pending a meet up. I can ket you know if that falls through. Thanks!

Whiskey-based napkin sketch...lol

We can do 4, fairly comfortably. No slobs allowed. 3 across the back wall (parallel to long walls) and one in the corner opposite the stove (hot spot).

Pics of boxes for gun and scope... I think the CDS certificate is still good for this one.

Pics of box...

Someone else asked about the thread protector for the gun. It is in thd box. Pics of boxes for gun and scope...

Replied. Thx.

Yes sir, 26" barrel. Send me a PM on trade offers. Not really looking for anything, but I never know what I need until I see it.

CGOW - fast shipping. Great communication throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to do business again. Thanks!

If only I wasn't in Sierra Vista...that would replace my smaller one.

This is the Waterport Weekender, rebadged/sold by CaliRaised. I have the little WaterPort and love it for camp showers. Great deal! GLWS.

Well, didn't work out as good for me (well, my pup). Was walking her today, on a trail we've walked a ton. Nice and wide trail in most places. Also a pretty well used mountain bike path. Stupid rattler sprang out from the grass on the side of the trail like it was shot out of a bow. Dog jumped it (I am pretty sure). When the dog landed on the other side of the trail, that snake launched again and nailed her twice in the front leg. No rattle, no warning, just pissed off snake. I had to carry that bitch out a couple of miles while she hyperventilated and convulsed. Took me most of an hour to get out of there. She weighs over 80 lbs, but shaking and moving around made her feel like 200 lbs. Not exactly what I had planned for training for an upcoming elk hunt, but I got a free workout out of the ordeal. Anyways, got her to the truck, shoved a bunch on benedryl down her throat (I know, I know) and drove like wild back home. She had recently had a knee injury, so I had some doggy vitamin-I. Gave her one of those. Then laid there petting her for a couple of hours while she shivered and fought the sickness. About 4 hours in, she started eating and drinking. She's slept most of the rest of the day, but acts like she'll be okay once it runs its course. Dog is tough! I suspect that a mountain biker who had just passed us on the trail probably spooked that snake and had it on high alert. Nothing we could have done (other than not go for a walk).

There are a bunch of cab chops documented on the Honda forums. I looked at doing it, but it is not super easy. Best bet is to air down. I saw most doors were something like 81" and my Pioneer sat at like 79".

Went from a Viking to the Pioneer 1000-5. Loved both machines, but the Pioneer was in a different world. Comfort, quietness (relatively speaking), and power were unreal! Unfortunately, I traded it for a couple of quads when my boys started driving (because it is more fun for them, obviously). The DCT transmission in the Honda is crazy good. I'll leave this right here: Didn't need 4x4 to bust through that snow, with the stock Bighorn tires. I got rid of the Viking because I found that I bottomed out on two-track roads a lot. Other than that, I loved the machine on well graded roads.

What do you all think of a thread where we can post up our ammo needs, and people can post up what they can access locally. We could also do a Coueswhitetail Express (CWE) deal if people are that trusting of each other (TBD by the guys/gals doing the deal). I'll start. The Cal Ranch in Sierra Vista has a ton of the 300 PRC 212gr ELD-X ammo in stock. $54.99 a box. I know it has been difficult for me to find for under $79.99 a box (although MidwayUSA had it recently for $64.99). They also have quite a few boxes of the 6.5 PRC ELD-M in stock. I don't recall the price, but maybe $64.99 (?). I travel to Tucson a couple of times a month if you can be flexible on delivery. I am also headed for Safford next Thursday, if someone over that way is in need.

My kid and I were in Surprise for a baseball tourney in June. Lucky’s Pizza and wings were delicious. Best I have had in AZ, by far. And I am an Original Ray’s Pizza fanboy (for the non-NYers amongst us, go once in your life if you can).

I have a CTR in 6.5CM, and it is the best shooting gun I have ever owned. My son (14) and I had a competition to see who could shoot the brass end of shot shells pushed thru our target at 100 yds. I’ll see if I can find the picks of the brass…Fun as shoot. Last year, on opening day, I glassed up two bucks sparring at 500 yds. I grabbed my youngest kid and my CTR and got him to 300 yds. He dropped one of the bucks. When we were sure he was dead (one shot), I told him to run back to the truck and tell his brother how to find me. The oldest one got behind the gun, in the same spot as his brother, and dropped the other buck. Maybe the coolest experience I have had hunting. Two bucks on the deck, and still had the boys to school in time for the opening bell! My oldest was pissed because he thought he could skip the whole day to hunt with me. Got extra brownie points with mom. GLWS!

So a few years ago, I was trading in an ATV for a Pioneer. Cochise gave me an awesome price. I called Western and asked if they could beat it. The guy at Western was fantastic, and in the end, he talked me into the deal at Cochise. He will forever get a first look going forward. Both great places. "Doc" Smith at Cochise is my go-to-guy.
