    Anyone shoot Franchi?

    I had an 48 in 28G for about 4 years but recently sold it because I was tearing up my thumb loading it because of the smaller frame. Beautiful wood on it and never had a single problem with it. Don't oil the cylinder (there will be a tag saying not to under the forearm) they need to run dry.

    No. Different catridges.

    Well I'll give you enough to get you started once you get settled in. Dies, scales and a press. Save your brass from here on out, and start reading up on reloading. https://www.wolfeoutdoorsports.com/handloader-subscription/

    What caliber should I buy?

    Billy, I'm not going to read all the comments. You need more than one rifle, sure you can "get by" with a 30.06 with factory loads from 55 grains (in a sabot) to 125gr always up to 220gr. Keep the 243 and get another rifle, or two. I have most of the usual calibers up to and including 7Mag, 45-70 and 375 Winchester and H&H Magnum. I hate to jump on the 6.5 CM bandwagon but it is complimented with a lot of great bullets and has light recoil. No problem buying one where it can be under 8 pounds with a scope. Personally I prefer a rifle a pound or more less than that. I'm in the east valley so let me know if you want to shoot any of the rounds mentioned, cept the 6.5 as I don't have one of those. It probably just kicks not much more than a 243. Do you have any interest in reloading?

    The section "related to the use of game cameras" has been replaced with related to authorizing the use of electronic tags.

    Guides also have clients from out of State too. Hunting just isn't what it used to be 30 years ago when very few people had a binocular more than 10X, a variable scope more than 4x12 and routinely shot past 300-400 yards. Just wasn't done. We are in the age where daddy wants junior to shoot a record book buck so his snot nosed little 10 year old brat with a 3K rifle sporting an equally pricey scope at 700 yards can post it on FB. Tags are hard to come by now and there are way more hunters afield so some people want the advantage that a guide can offer for a successful hunt. Lets face it, most of them put in way more hours and miles a year than the average person can, and have comb an area for years. A few of them can give the whole industry a bad vibe, not much different than Taxi's. The few I have met were just like the rest of us. They just have a business to run, and a reputation to uphold.

    I'm not sure how I missed reading this but it brought back a lot of memories of hunts with my son Chris. Congrats and to me this is what hunting is all about.

    Since AZGFD doesn't own land, ie BLM, State Trust NF etc and Game Cams don't take game by what authority can they regulate aka ban, the use of them?
