    Nikon Prostaff BDC Scope

    I would look at the Burris Fullfield II 4.5-14x42 with the ballistic plex. You can find it online for $250-300 and it is a better scope than the ProStaff in my opinion.
  5. Bull Basin in Tucson works with a local guy named Byron who builds pretty excellent strings...no peep rotation guaranteed and no questions asked 1 year warranty. Byron takes your bow for a day or two and builds everything custom to your specs. It's not cheap, but neither is the headache of ordering strings online and finding out they don't work for you. Personally I think the quality on Winner's Choice strings has declined in the last few years. A year or two ago I had a set on a Darton that had the end servings separate pretty rapidly and with axle to axle BH, tiller etc. in spec the peep was doing a 180 every 15 shots or so...it drove me nuts.
  6. Waders/fishing stuff is sold. Nice quiver still for sale cheap! 3. Handmade Leather Back Quiver: will hold a dozen plus arrows. Great for the traditional archer. Has an adjustable strap and will fit medium to slender archers from 5-8 to 6' or so. $30. All items in Tucson...will trade for broadheads, shotgun shells or reloading equipment.

    Rage 100 grain 3 Blades

    I took 3 Rage 100 grain 3 Blades in trade a while back. I have never shot them and have no desire to do so. The expandable blades are in the great shape, 2 of the heads have one very minor nick on one blade, but overall all are in excellent shape and sharp. From the looks I doubt they were shot more than a handful of times. $20 or trade for a 3 pack of 100 grain Muzzy 4 blades or Slick Tricks or other high quality fixed blade head. I'm in Tucson but can ship somewhere for $5...or sell/trade them to you at the Bowhunter Happening next weekend.
  10. Good starting points, thanks.
  11. I have a friend who pulled a cow tag and has an old ( I believe 50's era) Remington semi-auto Woodsmaster 740 chambered in .30-06. He has a young child and wants to shoot copper bullets so the kid can enjoy the elk without any worries about digesting lead. The gun cycles Remington Cor-Lokts just fine but I am going to dial up some 180 Barnes TSX-BTs and give them a try this weekend. I'm going to start with 46 grains of IMR 4064 as that is the mide-range from Barnes load data. I know reloading for old semi-autos can be tricky...should I lean towards light or heavy loads to get started? Anybody have any suggestions with OACL or load density? i'm not expecting sub-moa from an old autoloader, 2-3" at 100 yards would be great. I'm mostly just curious if anyone has had success hand loading for this rifle. Thanks.

    3D In The Pines

    Spent the day out there yesterday on all three courses and had a great time as always. These summer shoot are a lot of fun and everyone is really friendly.

    Sunrise 3d Shoot

    I know they are currently setting up the course. They are planning to hold the shoot at this point, but the big question is whether FS will have open areas for camping nearby. This is kinda dated information, but as of last Friday my understanding was that camping would only be allowed on the Rez.

    Docter 15x60B questions

    They are very good glasses. They have no customer support in the U.S. for their scopes and binos and I have heard horror stories about guys sending them over to Germany for repairs. I have heard these people are legit for Docter Repair, but I have never used them personally: http://www.mountainoptics.com/
  17. I had the same problem when i baught my drenalin new.I had people listen for the noise as i drew it back and we narrowed it down to the limb pocket bushing,i just lightly lubricated them and the noise went away. sorry cant remember what i used but i was on an elk hunt so supplies where limited. Thanks! I'll try that first. I had a similar limb pocket creak issue with a Darton...Rem-Oil was the ticket, but any teflon based lubricant is probably ok.

    Looking for a New Scope, need help?

    I might add the Burris Fullfield II in 4-14x42 with their ballistic reticle...very good glass for the money (less than $300) and with a 100 yard zero I have shot good groups to 300 yards using its ballistic reticle and handloads with my Tikka T3 chambered in .270. In my opinion, the glass is every bit as good as the Monarch and some of the Leupolds I own, but the clicks on the Burris knobs don't feel as "positive" as they do on those scopes. Like Bill said above, I had a Monarch on a rifle and replaced it after one hunting season. I'd also suggest upgrading the factory Tikka scope rings to Warne. They run about $50 and will save you a lot of time and heartache when the bolts on your factory Tikka rings strip out
