    Tikka Comparison

    I have a Bergara Premier HMR Pro in 6.5C out of the box it shot .35 at 100 yards. Great trigger and smooth flawless action. My next hunting rifle will be a premier series stalker. They do have the B-14 series that if it is as well made as the premier you might consider. The B-14 is their better priced line. I am totally sold on my Bergara.

    34A "lowlands"?

    Have seen plenty of lions S of Patagonia and E of Noggy. Your are in slightly different terrain. Just guessing where you might be and that area does have a mix of high and low. Given proximity to S end big mountains and broken country with some higher terrain, go for it.

    2 Zeiss scopes

    Is the 3-15 still available I am also in N Phoenix
  4. It was a Canadian firm a couple years ago. It shows up on Google maps. A number of locals tried to stop it but no go. I think they are going after silver, a lot of the old claims around there were silver deposits.

    Thanks Red. I love MOD 70's I have some control round feed from New Haven some from SC and I'll look for the BACO stamp on my newest one, had not noticed it before. Yes very nicely figured wood.

    Winchester Featherweight 30-06

    BACO ?? What does that mean ?? Was it made in the FN machine-gun works in NC? What do you think of the Tract scope?

    WIlderness Areas near Tucson

    That area will get you fewer hunters and there are deer in the Guliuros. Make plans for water if you are not coming back to a base camp every night.

    What is the best Couse unit in AZ

    Don't go near the border units, so very & hairy scary. Smugglers everywhere, better be safe and go north.
  10. So does that make it no longer relevant? Being older that is? Now we can get scopes with level indicators in the illuminated cross hairs.

    Where is he?

    OMG Mission in Detroit.
  12. they do love acorns, if you can find any. Tough birds, tough to bring down, #5 shot. Over the years seen them around Aztec PK Sierra Anchas, Pinal peak around the old fire tower and as far away as 35B in the oak draws. Been decades since I have seen any, quit seeing them mid 90's about the time I quit seeing an acorn crop.

    Bino tripod adapters?

    I have used the Swarovski universal tripod adapter for years $115> Also have pulled off bins and laid my rifle across the adapter for several 300 yard shots.

    Leupold Alumina Covers?

    I have a VX-6 that came with them and I have another scope that was promoting them as an extra when I purchased a VX3i for my PRS rifle. I like them but will take them off my VX-6 when its out hunting. Just do not need to have a nice buck pop up at 50yards and have to take off safety, pop front cover, then pop rear cover. In the field would be leery of carrying them open, would hate to snag and damage them. So to sum up they are nice on the target rifle. hope that helps.

    Football players can't pray for coaches daughter!!!

    I believe its called the "establishment clause". I don't see how having a moment to pray, reflect, invoke good vibes, meditate for good karma establishes an "Official Religion". I guess if you state a "spiritual moment for reflection for positive outcome" you inoculate yourself from the F***wads.
  16. Saw this story today. Go to fox13now.com look up under hunting, park city, theft I don't know how to insert link hope someone will.

    Looking for a .243

    MOD 70 Classic, by far the best traditional/classic feel look. I have on in 243 & 270 fthrwt and std wt 270 & 30-06. They all shoot well, 243 and both 270's sub MOA with factory ammo.

    Where were you?

    Flying a trip at one of our airlines. Was on a layover in Seattle and woke up and turned on the news just as the second aircraft hit the second tower. I was flying the same model Boeings flying a lot of trips out of BOS and NYC. Called home immediately, they were just watching the news and wondering where I was. Once everything was squared away at home I was totally pissed off, that could have been one of my flights, those could have been my passengers.

    Was Benedict Arnold a war hero?

    The battle of Saratoga was the lynchpin to our defeating the British. Winning at Saratoga brought the French into the conflict on our side. Without the French fleet there would have been no Victory at Yorktown. The victory at Yorktown brought the British to the negotiating table and eventually independence. Without Benedict Arnold no victory at Saratoga, so he was essential up to that point for an American victory in the war.

    Levi Strauss donating to Bloomberg's Anti-gun campaign

    Better Juarez than SriLanka, Bangladesh or China. Just think how much better the economy in Mexico would be if we never started trading with Communist China?

    Trigger set

    3lbs, all my rifles at 3lbs keeps muscle memory the same. Silhouette, PRS, NRL competition all shooting done for fun and up my skill for hunting. You could be on stand behind your binocs and have buck step out 75 yards below you, I am not comfortable having to line up from lets say sitting or offhand and deal with to light a trigger.
  22. LOL as apposed to the "cool crew" with 26" premium barreled esoteric custom action with a muzzle break fit for a German 88 chambered in something Nosler or Short Magnum in 7mm or 6.5mm and all cerakoted in a McMillan tactical type adj cheek rest custom painted stock with 20MOA rail and a Nightforce scope that is as spendy as the rest of the rig? Honest and in all sincerity (with just a smidge of sarcasm) nothing wrong with that. Gear heads deserve love to. BTW the popular calibers seem to be between 6.5mm and 308 in a case derived from the 30-06, 308win, 284win in standard or AI configuration or one of the newer short fat MAGS (7REMMAG 300winnyMag aside)

    American Hero passes. John Sidney McCain III

    RIP SEN McCain If you get through Navy Flight training and carrier quals and fly combat mission off and Aircraft Carrier then you are a Hero, as are 1000's of other Navy pilots. Also the many Air Force Pilots and Grunts (Marine and Army) and sailors (USN & CG) that saw combat in that era. McCains reputation within the Navy Pilot groupe was so so, his political record average. That he is now up for Sainthood feels to me as partly due to his feud with Trump. Face it Trump can be an Ahole but so was McCain, McCain was smart enough to not show that side of himself in public. The SEN served America for many decades putting himself on the line for his country Lets all Honer that Service
  24. We hike into glassing areas about :45 min in the dark. Some years its a late start to the day and twice have shot bucks off a hillside 500 yards from a busy, not trying to be quiet tent camp with several people in residence. In the afternoons we don't hunt we glass across a small canyon to another hillside that caries lots of deer its 600 or so yards away. Hope that helps.
  25. Looks like maybe try 5 at 40.5 5 at 41 and 5 at 41.5 ??? Like Lance said, looked to like the heavier charge.
