Here you go Russ. "Range Certified rifles are hand picked and test fired at the factory to ensure that you receive only the highest quality rifle. The end result of this process is a rifle with a factory shot target signed by Ed Weatherby certifying the rifle passed the most rigorous accuracy test's with flying colors. Furthermore the hinged floorplate of the rifle will sport the Range Certified engraving for all to admire." So basically hyperbole. A gimmick. Big question is which model is it? Old Roy is probably laughing his butt off.

It really gives the smaller gauges like the 410 a leg up. The last Rio I shot was at 7 yards. TSS, 12 g. Bang Flop. Extra Full Choke.

What the heck Nate. Sounds familiar to my solo Javelina hunt in 16A about four years ago when I broke both bones in my ankle. I hope he is on the mend. Congrats on the Pig.

Well Rick I would say that's a great group for that twist and bullet weight. Wish I had the time and powder to work up a load.

Do you know what the twist is?

I have one I bought from a member here years ago and took it apart to refinish it and lost interest. If I can find it you can have it for $50. Give me a day to pull it together.

It's posts like these that screw it all up. Whatever happened to just getting a tag and going and not needing someone to hold your hand like a child and spoon feed you info?

Rock, meet Hard Place.

Great Tent. It takes me less than 10 minutes to setup by myself.

I believe that is 7.9 with the letter i for "Infantry". What is the headstamp on the ammo?

Take the plate to DMV and they will look up the title.

A very popular hunt for guides. They took quite a few elk last year.

Heck of a shot. I have shot a friends Savage and it def has some kick and is very accurate. That should still be over 1600 fps at that distance.

Gutless for sure. I have done both. It just depends on how far I am from camp, time of day etc but now that I'm in my 70's I find it easier to pack out 15# of meat than a gutted Javi. Back in the early 90's I shot a Mule Deer in New River just below Table Mesa, maybe 50' from the top shooting from the flats below. I was hunting solo and packed out three quarters, loins, neck meat and the head in one trip about a mile back to camp and that was tough. I was in my early 40's and in top shape. A few years later on a late hunt in 29 I shot a 3x3 WT maybe a mile from camp but I was 1500' above it. I decided then that I wasn't taking any bones and boned the whole thing out and decided I had enough meat and there wasn't anything in the cavity I wanted. My first gutless method long before anyone coined it. I also did a Bear and a Caribou the same way way back then. The Doc hasn't given me the long face yet but I'm not fooling myself and hope I have another ten or so years left of big game hunting.

You need more than one? Any commercially loaded ammo is $$-$$$. @ $6 a round compared to the cost of gas to go scouting, gas, food etc to go hunting it seems like a bargin,,,, but if you can find other less expensive shells than gobble them up. "If" that is what the OP is going to do with them. TSS is nothing new and has been around for a long time. Read up on it, tight patterns, retained weight which equals to extended range over lead ammo. Practice with anything but then go pattern with one or two shells. "if you are lucky,,,, a hunter "may" get to squeeze the trigger, be successful and have a couple of rounds left for the fall hunt.

Hunt the southern part of the unit.

Turkey? Get some TSS.

That was quick. Smart buy.

No doubt.

Great Boot. I have a pair but in 8" I bought about 3 or 4r years ago but use them primarily for hunting. Wore them today hunting for Javelina. That is a very good deal on them.

Yes Sunrise was awesome. We have had a few really nice ones this week.

Congrats that's a nice one. Doves and Javelina are my two favorite things to hunt. I hunted east of Tonto Basin until noon. Hiked in about 1/2 a mile off a two track and spent all morning glassing from one hill. Glassed up three Ravens, a Red-Shouldered Hawk and a Kestrel. I heard some shots way off in the distance a few times but it was a slow, cool, cloudy morning. I did see quite a few people in camo driving endlessly around on the two tracks in SXS's and one guy in Blaze Orange driving what looked to be a smaller Red SUV, at least he was in style and comfort. It might have been an EV as it was very quiet.

Pretty. Shame they will probably never be shot.

Such a deal Russ.
