    Slow Down ATV'ers

    Yeah, you need to turn off on the road that crosses the wash, only way in to Rogers. First time I have been there in about 15 years.

    Slow Down ATV'ers

    I took a drive into the Superstitions today from Queen Valley up toward Rogers Trough just to kill some time. A few miles in I rounded a bent and came across three guys using a 2WD ATV with a tow strap tied to a bright yellow SXS that was up ended on the passenger side. I asked if they were ok and they were and they thanked me for stopping and asked if I would help. I asked them if they wanted me to help push it over and they said they had been trying that but the other ATV didn't have enough power to pull it back over so I had them disconnect the tow strap from it and I moved my truck into position and used it to right the SXS onto it's wheels. They said it was new, just seven miles. The area was pretty flat and had a few abandon campfire rings so I guess they were doing broadies and lost it. Sure glad I didn't come across bodies instead. I went on bout my way further in and about 90 minuted later on my way back down they came past me on their way up. Funday Sunday. I guess it's officially broken in now.

    Why?

    They were looking for piles of corn?

    There was a group of maybe 10 or 12 SXS's out there to tearing it up. I stopped a few times to let them pass.

    Getting It- Life

    That's a really long run. I know as my wife grandmother made it to 101, she came to Arizona from Texas as a little girl in a covered wagon and the family lived in tents for sometime, picking cotton. You have my condolences Sir.

    Oh the lows

    Yeah, I would never shoot one of those dinks. LOL I guess if you got out from behind that computer you might hsve the option All about personal choices dont you thjnk. The beauty of hunting. You get to decide for yourself what you want to try and kill sounds like he was being facetious about the bucks "lol" and ain't you in a stand on the internet?? Either way good luck. Looks like you got a real nice spot with lots of opportunities. At least someone got my attempt at humor.

    Evening greeter!!!

    Could be a prairie with those markings which is why I commented about the tail but they are up north. Either way I wouldn't want to get hit by one.

    Tikka 7-08 stainless and fluted (new) $650

    Why would you want to do that. It has very little recoil as it is.

  17. So the spacing was off for the action bolts and you had to have the front hole re-done? Or was it just too big making it sloppy or was the cutout for the lug too big?

    Anyone been watching the Olympics?

    Their story was full of holes. Now that the truth has come out they will probably just issue an apology to Brazil and get themselves put back on a plane home since they already paid the gas station for the damage they did. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/u-s-swimmers-gunnar-bentz-jack-conger-detained-at-rio-airport-012220711.html
  21. Is there a bad consequence to sanding it down anyway, to float the barrel? A floated barrel is a good thing...right? Yes and No, depends (How's that for an answer!!) Remington piller beds; that's what those bumps are, cheaper way to piller bed it, Shoot it for accuracy, also, take a screwdriver or torx or allen (whatever is on the gun) and try slightly adjusting the tension on the action, Sometimes just a tweak on the recoil or trigger guard will change POI and tighten or spread groups. Free floating is typically better BUT if the stock is flimsy at the forend and you rest it on a rock you've just created a pressure point you did not have during sighting in. I've had bad luck with B&C stocks too much play at recoil to the point of shearing a bolt after 3 shots, LITERALLY I threw the stock in the trash, then took it out and stuck it in a corner. When I started 'smithing I needed experience glass bedding so I did, WHAT A DIFFERENCE, it's now on my go to deer rifle (SAKO 243). Yours seems to fit better than mine, but still check the spacing around the recoil lug and bolt or be prepared to cuss and visit a smith to have the recoil bolt removed - not an easy or cheap task. Mine was off center and about twice too large but I didn't notice it. What is a recoil bolt? Is it specific to Sako?

    Merino socks????

    I have always worn smartwool and yes you can wear the same pair a couple of days. I like the hiking socks that are a little thicker. Also get yourself some O'Keefs. https://www.walmart.com/ip/36929109?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227024692516&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40843784312&wl4=pla-78656641832&wl5=9030087&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=36929109&wl13=&veh=sem
