ThomC said price is the same on everything. Compared ball bearings. It can be true but it also is false. Materials used can look the same but hardness and purity and tolerances all effect the price and quality. My DDLES 9mm glock mag Ar15 was supposed to be milled out of 7075, well when I noticed galling where the bcg struck the mag catch I spoke with them. No answer. Fast forward a couple months. They closed. New owners. They threw away lots of partially milled lowers that the prior owner used 6061 to save $ on materials and machine time. Quality costs more money.

Pentex screwed themselves. Brand loyalty fades quickly.

That is their problem, Their reputation is in the crapper. There are some very nice and well made Bushnell scopes, but everyone associates them with their Banner line. I don't care who makes it, but a 50-100 dollar scope is gonna fail. The one I had was 395, and should have be able to compete with other 300-400 dollar scopes. Look at their Elite line, read the reviews.

Sig just came out with a line of optics. The Whiskey5 is pretty interesting to me as a hunting scope. The 3-15x44 and 3-15x50s are ones I really like. From what I hear, they are made at the same plant in Japan that Vortex uses. I think they run between 1100 to 1400. http://www.sigoptics.com/model/whiskey5-3-15x44-mm/ The Tango6 is in their tactical line. 3-18x44 I think between 1500-1700 from what I have seen. I like them. They have a great feel and they are easy to adjust without adding a lever. I have added levers to some of my Vortex. Just a thought. Merchant Firearms stocks them. good luck, great build btw.

Look at the weight and size of the objective. The bigger scopes tend to be heavy and need taller rings. Building up a cheek rest might be necessary too. as to the zoom in, 6.5 can be too much. 3 or 4 times gives a huge FOV

How much scope time does she have? More magnification isnt always better, the 6.5x on close or moving stuff can be hard to locate your target. the 4-16 or some scopes are now 6 times, 3-18 are really good hunting magnification levels. When I have my kids on the gun, I zoom it all the way out, have them find the target then zoom it closer for them at first. then they figure it out. but I always carry my gun on its lowest setting, until I set up. I have the Viper PST 4-16 and the 6-24 both FFP. great scopes. I also have a Viper HS 6-24 FFP and Viper 4-16 on other rifles. Good optics. Great service. Great price point.

I have this in a 17hm2. Tack driver. If I didn't have so many 22s I'd be on it. Good luck

Thank you.

I will take it.

This year I decided to process my own deer and anything else I, or my family shoot. My 16yo daughter shot her first deer and I took a big bodied small racked forkie, to add to the 40 lbs of meat I got off of her deer, and it was a good cull buck. I worked at Smitty's at the meat counter when I was in college (24 years ago) and know a thing or two still. I bought a grinder, a sausage stuffer and other odds and ends to get it going. I have a small 6x8 walk-in cooler in my shop, so Im pretty well set up. I put the meat in ice with salt and let it drain, until the water ran clear. Then I put it on the rack to dry. Trimmed it up. Cut and tied roasts, cut steaks out of the loin and straps. The rest into stew meat and sausage. I found a sausage recipe I thought looked interesting. It called for bacon trimmings and I added cleaned and frozen green chile. Turned out pretty dang good. Now I need to get drawn for elk to really test my skills.

Gonna keep the vortex razor red dot.

Trying these here and then on to Ebay or ? I have a HHA Optimizer Speed Dial for crossbows that I no longer use. I would like 100.00 for it. I have the stickers and instructions for it.

A Slik aluminum tripod. It is an old one but works great. It is a M310 Master Deluxe. Extends to over 6ft tall. It is a good tripod. 40.00 sold pending Pachmayr tipoff mount for a Savage 99C. I was going to scope my dads rifle, but got him a Left Handed Browning BLR Longtrac instead. So this has sat. 40.00 PSE 3 pin bow sight. Free to a kid. Spoken for. 2 PSE Target Rope releases. 25 each obo. Vortex Razor Red Dot 3 moa dot. New in box. I ordered one for myself and got one as a gift. Only need one.

It's 325.00

A couple more things to get rid of.. UTG Shooter's Sniper Bipod, Steel Feet, Height 8.2"-10.3". It mounts to a Pictanny 10.00 ftf PSE 2 piece 5 arrow quiver. It was for my PSE Carrera. Not sure which bows it will fit other the older PSE with the hole milled out for it. Free to good home. spoken for. Trophy Ridge Quick Shot Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest- came on my sons bow. We switched to a dropaway. 15.00 Deluxe Quick Shot Kit for Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest, for Med Arrows. Right hand. Never used. 10.00 PSE Mongoose 7 arrow quiver. I can't find the quick detach bracket, still sorting stuff. 5.00

I have used Harris for most of my life. I bought a rifle that had an Atlas on it, and I love it. I recently bought a Smith Enterprises Lightweight QD MIL STD 1913 Bipod just to try it out. It is beefy. The Harris' only weakness has been lack of panning. Now that isnt a problem, as long as you drop another 80 bucks. That being said, I avoid all cheap knock off brands. I have seen to many of them break.

price changes.

items added, but sight is spoken for

I like the Kodiak cabin tent with the porch. If you use cots it has the most vertical sides. More square footage at cot hright. I hope that makes sense.

180gr accubond next to a loaded 168gr berger. Up until last year (or 3, time melds together ) I had to fireform. I haven't shot it much since I have gone the way of the suppressor.

Basically yes. Brad Stair is the builder and developer of all the Tejas calibers. He loaded some 168 bergers for me that were screamers. 96grs of r22. I sent them back and he sent me some with 95grs. 3750 to 3800 fps was too fast. 96grs worked in Utah but in Casa Grande was too much.

Without sling. The brake makes this beast bark.

If and when I want to reach out a little further I break out the Cross Canyon Arms 300 ultramag Tejas. I just got stamped brass so I feel legit. Nightforce one piece ring/base with bubble cap. I had a Nightforce 5-25x56 on it but I hated the weight. The pst 6-24x50 FFP moa has been great. I had been fire forming brass from ultramag stuff. Hopefully can get enough new brass to end that.
