You got me, off point and out of context relative to OP question.

Yep, first day in camp I run the the tech, make a range card out to 500, then put the silicon away and go with card 😉

Hmmm, thinking that all this tech degrades the hunt. I was thinking I was over teched with Strelock pro loaded with current atmospherics and my diddly butt Leupold RF. Of course not humping a rig around that I want to go further than 450yds with. I like hunting, will leave being a gear head to others. ENJOY THE Pureness of just going out and let it happen and minimize tech and expense 😜.

Hunt coming up Friday looks like good weather.

Call and talk to Doug about the Kowa's. One of our local shooters raves about them every time I shoot his match. Doug also fixed me up with a deal on a ball head for my tripod. To start out I recommend something in the 10X42 range.

Interesting. Why the $5 extra fee? Is a particular group putting this on?

Hassayampa Rod and Gun Club is doing a sight in service at Ben Avery range at R2 range just west of main range this wednesday, thursday and friday. Service runs from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and is $10 a rifle. Just come out to R2 range pay your money there (no checking in at main range) and skip the crowds and regimentation of the public range. Most of you here are probably all set and organized but in case you are jammed up or have a buddy behind on preparation we can help you. We have tools, rests, spotting scopes and targets all set up. Nicest easiest way to get your sighting in done at the last minute.

Any hunters have access problem in 35B this hunt? Last fall a rancher locked his gate that gave access to the NF just outside Patagonia and This year a rancher in the San Rafael Valley. Now it appears that any road access into an area bounded by HWY 82 between Patagonia and Sonoita on the North, the Canelo Hills on East side and on the S & W side by FR 799 through Canelo Pass, FR 58 through the San Rafael and the Harshaw RD south out of Patagonia. Thats roughly 70sq miles of National Forest that has been cut of from vehicle access. Does anyone know a way into this country that does not involve back packing?

Do you need help or a spotter for your practice. I can bring my old man's 26" Titus barreled 30-06 aperture sight match rifle that set a national 600 yard record in 51.

Tikka, if for no other reason than the trigger.

Lance when mounting a rail do you feel bedding is necessary?

JSR how old are you? I am 63 and have no problem navigating this site, separating classifieds from hunting topics.

DuckHunter did you leave your tent up the whole time, if so how did that go? If you put it up and took it down each time how easy was that?

I can recall making a shot on a running buck at around 50/60 yards, it was like shooting flushing quail. All those years of skeet, dove and quail shooting went into that successful shot. Years of muzzleloader matches with mostly off hand shooting built up skills/confidence to make several successful offhand shots. Currently its PRS, NRL22 and small bore silhouette matches to keep my skills up. Years of shooting, hunting go into getting comfortable with what kind of shots present themselves in the field. Good post/point OP.

Never forget the destructive power of "angry and stupid". We are all vulnerable to angry misfits marinated in tribal grudges/hurts riddled with frustration and fed narrow ideologies. jihadis are a cancer to civilized society. God save us from True Believers.

No idea what you would like to trade for. Something stated could help.

Lots of bucks between the Canelo hills and the Harshaw RD south of Patagonia and north of the Valley.

Lee we are pretty close in time frame. I think in 73 at 16 I shot my first buck. My old man must have been forward thinking because his 30-06 SPFD O3 had a 4X lyman scope older than I was mounted on it. We were hunting above Sycamore Canyon just N of the border in unit 36B. Looking forward to my 47th deer season in AZ this fall.

When the grass is up to your butt and when you get up a hillside couple hundred yards from shot it does end up taking some searching around. Last year a newbie in our group got confused after a shot and took a picture the wrong clump of mesquite. Luckily my son kept checking out every likely clump of trees and came up with his buck about 40 min latter. By the time we headed out it was pitch black, 2 miles back in, rough broken oak hills and country new to us as of that AM. Dead reckoning back to camp with about zero ability to reference anything in the dark was a bit of an adventure.

I would go with Bergara Premier Stalker, if that's not in your budget the Tikka. I have a Bergara HMR Pro and it is hands down my best factory rifle, in 6.5C it shoots .35 MOA.

you might want to fix your header this is not a Z3 you might miss the right lookers.
