Wouldn't every kid gets a trophy translate to every hunter gets an animal?

Assault weapon is likely a variant to assault rifle, made up by the media. Assault rifle is a term from a DOD contract for an infantry weapon capable of selective fire, semi-auto and full auto, and firing an intermediate powered cartridge. The media likes to throw this term around to describe semi-auto only rifles even though a specification for an assault rifle per the government contract to produce them was full auto capability. The media seems to prefer running their mouths to doing their homework.

Using boots and binoculars takes a lot of time money and effort also.Hahaha so you think if you run cams you don't need to also do those things? That's hilarious. Yeah that's how cams work, when you find a deer it waits at the cam for weeks till hunting season and you can shoot it This guy isnt attacking your means and methods, you are attacking his. Just because someone doesnt put out cams doesnt mean they are a lazy slob who doesnt want to put in time and effort. Take a chill pill, we know you got em. his response is typical of people that know NOTHING about putting out cams and the reason they're being banned is because of bs like that. It's jealousy. Go wound another pig and not look for it Actually I do own and use a few cameras on occasion, however they are not my preferred tool for locating game. The reason they are being banned is not because of anything non-users have done but because of so many camera users setting up whole packs of mechanical paparazzi at so many water sources. Jealousy? Sounds like you took something a whole lot stronger than the suggested chill pill to arrive at that conclusion.

Using boots and binoculars takes a lot of time money and effort also.

Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is quoted as having said, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." Thanks, that's the one I was trying to think of. Memory ain't what it used to be.

I just started playing with a triclawps late last year. One setup I have tried is putting the triclawps on light tripod that is only rated to support 4.5 lbs, a Slik sprint mini II that I carry in a light pack to mount binos. I clamp the triclawps on the front end of the stock in a similar position to where a bi-pod would mount. The plan is to carry the lighter and more compact triclawps in place of a tall Harris bi-pod. Have not tried it on an actual hunt yet.

We as law-abiding gun-owning citizens are a militia. This fact was very clearly recognized by either a German or Japanese ( I can't remember which) General during the second World War. They made a statement that an invasion of America would be impossible. Their reasoning was something like this. If you did actually manage to break through the US Military and land troops on US soil you would now be confronted by a heavily-armed American public.

On behalf of all who participated in the hunt we hope that whatever issue caused you to donate your three javelina tags is not anything to serious and that you and your family are well. Three veterans each got in a few days of hunting and we also had a hunter in training along, the 9 year old daughter of one of the vets. A couple of great guys, James and John, took the lead and got out there Thursday and set camp. I made it out Friday after noon and got up on a hill and watched over their area behind 15’s. The wind was brutal and nothing was moving. Saturday morning most of the group headed out with Fernando and Jose the 2 vets who had arrived Friday morning. Myself and another gentleman, Mike, stayed back to meet the third veteran, Joseph, and his daughter Natalie when they arrived. That afternoon Fernando bagged his pig with a .243 Ackley at 52 yards. Jose got off a couple of shots with a .30-30 but missed. We saw quite a few deer. I put in a little effort trying to locate bighorns on Picketpost so everyone could get a chance to see them but no luck there. Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day, more deer but no pigs. Natalie took an interest in checking everyone's binoculars. After using Leica, Zeiss, Meopta and Vortex Razors I don’t think Santa is going to get away with putting cheap glass under the tree for her. Joseph is hoping to get Natalie into the youth camp this December and also into hunter safety. I believe I was the only CWT member present and felt I should take a minuet to let you know your tags went to good use. We all had a great time.

As I read that I could hear Ron White saying "you can't fix stupid" over and over. It still doesn't top "we have to pass it so we can see what is in it". I'm sure she will keep trying.

Haven't seen one... Sounds like I was at a different arrastra. When I found it I had hiked west of the midnight owl. One Landmark I remember was the old mixer drum that used to be up on poles like a tower. Last time I saw it somebody had cut it down to salvage the poles.

Was there an old drum off a cement truck in the general area of the arrastra? Probably to the SW but it has been a long time.

Close enough. But near the junction of Eddy and San Damingo Wash and Anderson Mill. There's another arrarstra about 1 1/2 mile north. Is Anderson mill the one with all the old marsten matting for stairs? My parents worked the Midnight Owl mine for collectible minerals years back. I used to tag along and go quail hunting. I found an old arrastra west of it once. Could be the one you mention as 1 1/2 miles north.

The smooth walkway around the center makes me think possibly a human powered arrastra but why the wall around it?

As she grows keep in mind that if the youth stock becomes too short all you need to do is purchase a full size short action left hand 700 stock and swap the action into it.

Yea, I'm guilty. When I build a rifle it is just another 700. Nice job on putting together something a little more unusual.

Have u tried gunbroker? Good suggestion. I needed a donor rifle for a LH 700 action a few years back. Couldn't find one around town. It was easily available on gunbroker. jakehaffey, I note you are in Chandler. I f you purchase through gunbroker you will need a local FFL to accept the shipment. Try Healy Arms at McClintock and Basline. He is a CWT member and I am sure he would give you a good deal. He may also be able to order what you want from a wholesaler.

I forgot about pinning barrels to a short barrel to make it permanently 16 or more. I was thinking of barrels that had pinned brakes to comply with no threaded muzzle laws some states have

If the pinned break was removed would the diameter of the barrel underneath it be large enough to thread for the suppressor?

I'm partially right handed partially left handed and left eye dominant. I shoot rifles left handed. I carry and draw a pistol right-handed but aim with my left eye. If her brain is telling her to shoot a rifle left handed there is a reason. Don't fight it. I carried right-handed bolt rifles for many years before left handed models became more common. If there's a rifle you like that's not available in a youth model look into purchasing a shorter stock or having the stock shortened.

How deep were those Bergers seated into the case? The one print I've seen showed a throat (W measurement on the print) of 2.1067- that was measured from the rear of the case as the 'datum'? If you want to specify a longer throat how is that accomplished? (Curiosity is getting the best of me). Is the smith taking a dummy round for measurements and then reamer the chamber and then ream a longer throat? They make separate reaters that pilot off the bore and will increase the throat depth after a standard chamber reamer has been used.

I've done a 30 cal Barrel with a 9/16 thread. The catch is there's just not a lot of break choices in a 9/16 thread.

The Brake needs a shoulder at the end of the thread seat against. With a 0.628 muzzle if you use a 5/8 or 0.625 thread there will not be much of a shoulder at the end of the thread.

Maybe your boss figured out you are not working.

I have taken a coues with a .223 firing a 64 gr softpoint and it worked just fine so a 22-250 should definately work. Years ago we always used to pick up leftover deer tags down south. There was a heard that always hung out on a thick oak and juniper hillside. We just couldn't seem to get them working cross canyon. I grabbed an AR-15 carbine, headed across the canyon and began still hunting the game trails. 1 shot later I came back with a buck over my shoulder. This was when I was young, stupid, full of energy and would actually carry a whole deer out. I have learned better methods since then.

Do you have a copy of the print you could email to me? What rifle / action / magazine combo were you using when you had feeding problems? Did you try any aftermarket followers? My RUM was finicky but a Wyatt's follower solved the problem. DSE or Big/Bust did you guys have specifics on your chamber set up in your 22-250ai?? I have built a few 700 chambered for AI cartridges. The feeding problem relates to the magazine but the cause might not be something you expect. My first attempts to correct it were various adjustments to the feed lips. There was some improvement but it was still unreliable. Then I caught on. By forming the case to Ackley I had removed most of the taper from the case but the magazine body still had taper. This combination allowed the cartridges in the magazine to pivot off each other kind of like a see saw and cause erratic feeding. I spread the back of the magazine and filed the edges of the joint to reduce the back dimension of the magazine then bent the tabs out so it would still fit tight in the action. I took the magazine down to 0.010 taper on the body. With this modification to the magazine I can reliably cycle 7mm-08AI through the rifle as fast as I can cycle the bolt. I do expect the smaller the neck diameter is in proportion to the case body the harder it will be to get the rifle tuned to cycle reliably.
