Thanks everyone I think I've got it figured.

I'm looking for a gun store -shop that will do private party gun transfers. With the youth giveaway drawing yesterday I've got two winners in the 520 area code so out Tuson way . If you know of a shop willing to do the transfer please shoot me a pm. Thanks

Very cool stuff . I like the older stuff it's usually built better.

With the youth giveaway drawing done yesterday I'm looking for local gun shops down south . I've got two winners in the 520 area code so I'm trying to find local shops that will do private party transfers. The winners are super excited and I'd like to make the trip to give them there prizes as soon as I possibly can . Thanks

Thanks everyone I've got it figured out.

Nice !! I can't wait to get in the woods with my dad and his buddy for the muzzleloader hunt in 6a .

The other thing is to have healeys ship to a ffl near the winners . They still need to do a 4473 form to pick up but then I'd still need to make the trip to give them the ammo that comes with each . That I can't ship to them . I'm hoping I can make one trip down and get everything done on the same day my 82 plus hour work week doesn't leave me much time for things so I need to maximize the time I spend doing things as my free time is sooooo short.

Yes I could do a simple bill of sale type transaction but due to the nature of the giveaway I'd prefer to go thru a ffl for a legal transfer just from the legal side of things . I wouldn't want to ever have an issue with responsibility. By insuring the guns are transferred to a legal responsible adult it mitigates my liability.

Winners have been drawn. 1st place is 13 yr old lacy putz 2nd place is 15 yr old Emma Titerington 3rd place is 13 yr old Joshua Ingino 20230902_130608.mp4

With the entry part of this year's giveaway closed I'd like to thank everyone who donated to the giveaway . This year's prize pool is outstanding. I couldn't have done this by myself . Now to the numbers . There are 129 kids entered for the drawing . That's awesome more than doubled the last year's . The young ladies made a big push this year and there are alot of young hunters in the bottom of the age bracket. The drawing is scheduled for Saturday and results will be posted as soon as possible . THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PUT IN THIS YEAR! The next giveaway will open January 1 for entries .

I'd check boyds stocks . They seem to make them for just about every single gun . There are lenght of pull sections.

I didn't get the opportunity to hunt till later in life . If I can give some kids the opportunity to experience the outdoors and what hunting has to offer its money well spent .

Primary arms has geissele ssa-e triggers on sale. Great price for a outstanding trigger.

Alright thanks everyone for making this such a great giveaway this year . There are 129 kids entered with a big push by our young lady's . The drawing is scheduled for Saturday with results posted shortly after the draw . Good luck to everyone ! NEXT YEARS DRAWING WILL BE OPEN FOR ENTRY ON JAN 1

I was impressed with the axis for sure . My buddy got one for his wife in 7-08 . After some trigger work and a decent scope they just flat shoot. Now it was running custom hand loads I'd made up for my gun but for my buddy who hardly shoots a rifle to put 3 shots out into one hole with all touching was impressive. But for smooth actions and good trigger right outa the box it's tikka all the way .

For the money you can't go wrong with the ruger american go wild edition . Comes with a rail for mounting a scope trigger is good and threaded barrel for a suppressor it does come with a break and is cerakoted.

Only use the sxs for travel into or out of some places. It is used for haul out on elk for sure . I'd agree about some sxs used in the woods . There are alot of clubs and such that run trails with big groups and most will have radios blasting or piped for performance. I don't think it's the average hunter making all the noise most go slow and are looking for the elk or deer that seem to just appear and disappear. I do miss my 2000 Honda 350 rancher it was quiet 🤫 and great on Gass putting around but enjoy the ability to get in and out with my dad and his buddy for elk and such.

I could use some help with designing a logo- flyer for the kids giveaway for the next year. I'm a machinist and have no skills with art or design. I do have some ideas tho. Thanks Chris

Things are going to be a little crazy the current giveaway is wrapped up and all the prizes make it to the winners . As soon as it's done for the year I'll have some time to sit and draft up a few ideas . Thanks for being patient with me.

Absolutely true ^^ back when we could run cameras I'd usually be out in the woods about every 3 or 4 weeks checking things and replacing salt and minerals. It was always fun to find a new spot and see just what may be hitting. The big downside was the cost of all the stolen cameras and broken lock boxes. I've had as many as 6 taken at one time. I don't get the time I use to have to go out In the woods due to work doubling my schedule for the week. I do miss the excitement of let's see what we got here but like that it's not costing me a few hundred bucks in stolen gear . The op has a point the ban has probably taken alot of guys outa the woods a little more than normal and I can see how there could be some downside to it but you can and should do some pre scouting before your hunt.
