Last year I asked a question on this site," If you were to buy a custom built rifle which one would you buy and who builds the best rifle on the market . What I found out was that all the custom rifle companys are good, they all produce a good product, but I also had some people say it is better to build your own . The most asked questions to me was how much do you want to spend and what kind of yardage would you like to shoot ? My answer was to stay under $4500.00 and I did not want to shoot more than 800yds. I also decided I did not want to build one that needed a muzzle brake, to much kick and to loud. So I decided on building a custom 308 win. Well after more than one year later here it is, my new custom built 308win. I would personally like to thank 308nut for all his help and advise on building this rifle, without all his knowledge I would still be figuring it all out. Work was done by George Liechty at Precision Shooting Sports, great guy to do business with . 308win H.S. Presision stock bedded Nightforce 5.5-22x50 scope w NF 20moa 1piece base bedded Lija barrel fluted with 11to1 twist, 26in long Jewel trigger set at 1lb pull trued 700 rem action wieghs in fully loaded at 11lbs

bought a rem 700 with the stock and the gunsmith did all the work, give George a call and he can give you a price for the job. I also talked to the guys at Mcmillan and they had some they had already worked on , they were selling them at that time (last year)for $400.00.Do not know if they still have any ,but it is worth a phone call to see if they still have any for sale.

Ok, here is our first attempt at doing a video on youtube.... Try this link

The covert II.

i know the person selling these and they are like brand new , his wife used them only once. bump this to the top for a good guy .

Iwas using plan AA batteries, I have alot of cow elk video of them licking the camera, they all seem to like the flavor of the bear box for the covert camera you sell.

just to let everyone know I went out and checked my covert I had shooting video and my batteries were dead only took 33 one minute video's. I was hoping the batteries would last a little longer. I think what kills them is the fact that the light comes on while video is being shoot . The night ones are not so good when the animals are far away. But the daytime ones are great . will try to post some of the video later.

You are keeping a close watch on that bull , would be great to see you have tagged it since you do have a tag. Also great looking hat. By the way your friend George should be sending my package very soon. That is some great looking country up there.

I have a covert out and I have it set on video , It will be out for 2 weeks doing 60 sec video's. I wonder how long the reg AA will last ?

This is the first time I have heard of anyone else owning a 25-35. As you said your grandparents owned it then , well my grandmothers favorite gun was her 25-35 .She shot many Texas hill country wt with it .A few years ago she gave it to me with 10 boxes of bullets and all are 117gr. I check the price of bullets at the gun shows and find most are around 30 dollars a box. The boxes of bullets she gave me still have the old sale stickers on them and all are under 3 dollars a box. Does the gun have a octogon barrel or smooth round barrel.Might be nice to see some pics of some older guns people on this sight own. I will get it and a couple other guns that have been past down to me from my family a post some pics of them.

Sure it was not two yotes,maybe you should have shot them to get a better look

Jim White sells them

Are tickets for the hunts going to be for sale at the banquet or do they need to be bought before the banquet.

OK so this is a joke, right!

My wife and I and our friend Cookie will be there.

great job Tom,and give Peg a great job also, by the way in the pic with all of you I say you look alot like Jerry P.

pics please

Nice bird

check your maps really close for water tanks north of the Las Vegas ranch, and don't believe all the KEEP OUT signs you see some are on state land, and look for windmills in the same areas. good luck on your hunt

congrats on taking your first thunder chicken , maybe someday you will get to do the calling and call one in for your dad.

oops , did not notice it was in the bowhunting forum. so has he done any drivetime scouting or just doing some e-scouting before taking a drive to the unit to look around.

did your buddy draw a archery tag or a muzzy tag ?

I would love to find that,alot of good eats.

Hey guys, We had a blast at the ABA Banquet last night...it started out with me wining the $1,000.00 cash. Then I went and bought $100 in raffle tickets for the commissioners Javelina tag, and WON it!!! I offered it to my dear friend Cookie, but she said no, so I gave it to my wife Kathi, again. I have hunted them enough, and I know she will want to hunt them again like she did last year when I bought her the tag from the Antelope banquet. Our table was really successful in wining items and just had a blast. The ABA really put on a good evening for all. Oh and our own beloved Christian did a great job in selling raffle items and working the live auction.

I am in ,next time I in his neck of the woods I will have to stop by . I have a 1200 and it is something I could use.
