    Went to buy an ATV at a dealer

    Ride Now is the absolute worst in just about every way possible. I will say the showrooms are well stocked and fun to walk around, but Id walk every mile of a hunt before Id buy from them. The worst prices around and they use every tactic in the book - high pressure, hidden fees, expensive financing - to gouge you for every penny possible. I like buying used because it is such a huge money saver and many of these machines are pretty bullet proof with just basic maintenance, but if new is your thing then really any other dealer in town is a better option than Ride Now.

    Looking For Cattle Troughs / Stock Tanks

    Thanks!! I hadn't thought of that but will check it out...
  7. I know this might be a long shot, but my son's high school football team is looking for three cattle troughs similar to this to use for ice baths: https://www.qcsupply.com/round-stock-tank.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwo87YBRBgEiwAI1LkqTiYcPU4fIQAv7CUYaqsgKyywylWpQHTyKzs3lD1w1Y_dymChbflURoCgkgQAvD_BwE If anyone here happens to have any they're looking to get rid of please let me know. They're not that expensive to purchase new but we're on a budget and looking to save a few dollars if we can. Better yet, if anyone would like to donate one we are a non-profit and I can get you a receipt for tax purposes. They can be a little leaky, they just need to hold water and ice for an hour or so. I'll come pick up. PM or call/text Jim at 602-999-5073 if you can help out...and thank you!!

    Shout out to Healy Arms

    Yeah, those guys are awesome. I've been in there a couple of times and been talked out of something more expensive because there was a better solution I didn't know about that wasn't as costly. It's service like that that makes a customer for life and they excel at that...

    Late Youth Hunts

    This is true. Its hard NOT to road hunt this hunt - youll regularly see does just driving to the area you want to hunt. Its beautiful, unique and fairly remote country to boot. I cant imagine a more satisfying hunt for a 10 year old with limited mobility.

    270 WSM opinions

    I have an early 50's Model 70 I bought years ago but never shoot it. Maybe I should rebarrel it since I have another 243 I shoot more. It seems to me that Model 70s are a little out-of-favor these days among serious shooters (at least compared to the Remington 700), and theyve had a somewhat strange and inconsistent history over the last 40 years or so. All I know is I own three of them, all stock (although one has been bedded) and the worst of them consistently shoots factory ammo at 1 MOA. Id bet with a little work yours could be a gun youd love. Especially since at that age I suspect it has some history behind it.

    CWD Test Results?

    When we checked in they told us it would take three weeks. Now I see a notice on the AZGFD website that the testing kits they have expired and new ones are expected sometime in November.

    CWD Test Results?

    My son shot a doe during the 12AW youth hunt about 3 1/2 weeks ago. We took it to the Jacob Lake check in station and the biologist took a sample to have it tested for CWD. They gave us a website and an ID number we could use to obtain the test results, but every time we try to pull them up the website seems to not work at all - we don't even get a "pending" or "complete" response. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone been able to successfully pull up the CWD test results?

    270 WSM opinions

    Not sure about TIkkas (besides their good reputation) but my Winchester M70, stock (1 in 10 twist, 24" barrel), shoots factory ammo sub-MOA. Nosler ammo (140 gr ABs) right at 3,000 fps, HSM with 130 gr Berger VLDs at 3,200 fps and Federal ammo with 130 gr Nosler BTs at 3,300 fps all shoot right at 0.75 MOA out to 300 yards (the farthest I've shot it). Mine hates the Winchester Accubond CT loads, but I've never had a rifle that liked that ammo. If I ever decided to reload for it I think I could have a lot of fun with hit. It's not a perfect caliber but it outperforms .270 Win enough to make it worthwhile, and for me at least the difference in recoil isn't noticeable. IMO it's an excellent deer rifle and with the right load a fine backup rifle for elk hunting probably out to 400-500 yards or so. I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from buying one. Note that I'm a big fan of .270 Win, so I'm not knocking that caliber at all...
