    Zero stop setting

    I have always had my 700 in 7 Mag sighted in 3" high at 100 yards using a VXll in 4-12 and this has worked very well for 20 years. Last year however Camerland had sale on the Zeiss Conquest with the Rapid Zee reticle so after looking through the same scope for over two decades I decided it was time to upgrade. The first crosshair is 200 yards and I sighted it in to be 1" high at 200 which worked well on my Coues last year which I shot at 216 yards. This rifle stays in the safe all year and only gets used for hunting. I take it out the week before the hunt a shoot one or two rounds through it to check zero and that's it. The rifle is fairly heavy so this year my goal is to see if I can lighten it up a bit.

    Playing God

    It's all fun and games until the PH bails as the Dugga Boy charges the old fat guy pissin in his drawers trying to figure out if his safety is on. Get's even more interesting when the intended yellow eyed quarry has a dark mane.

    hey thanks for the reply, but my idiot friend just got the 15x56 vortex Vultures ....... he wont glass anything up On the bright side he probably won't loose too much money when he sells them.

    Selling custom 260 rem.

    Patrick, Does it come with the bipod and if so what make is it? Tell me about the stock? What about the recoil pad? Is it Cerro Coated (sp)? Who did the bolt work and fitted/chambered the barrel? What velocities is that barrel putting out and what is the weight of the rifle? Do you have any targets you can post?

    Game and fish website is horrible

    I was going to drop it off last night on the way home from work but with the boss on vacation I felt it would be better to spend some extra time in the office just in case something came up and ended up doing it online in the morning. It went very smoother and only took a few minutes. I see now that the system crashed, for whatever reason, so it has been extended another 24 hours.

    BF ranch

    I read it was sold in 2012. I'd say contact G&F and they should be able to put you in touch with the owner if you're looking to get permission to hunt it.
  11. Go see if Sprauges or Walmart will price match. Then there is always Buds Guns and Gunbroker.

    Renting optics??

    I have rented from them twice without any problems. They ship fast and include a return pre-paid label. Both times I rented Swarvoski 15's and they came in a pelican case with the adapter. You can call and talk to them and they are very easy going. I live in the east valley so renting from them saved me the gas money and drive time to Ross so it was just a matter of convenience for me but I have also rented Rangefinders from Ross and had a great experience.

    Online Hunter Education Course for Kids

    I don't think doing the course online was an alternative back in 1998 when my kids went through it. I really feel that kids will get a 1000X more out of the course if they can go to one where there are other people there. They will meet other people and kids who also learning the in's and out's of shooting which is the basis of hunting. When they are in a classroom environment with a bunch of other people it really takes the pressure off and people open up and ask questions that some people may want to ask but don't because they don't want to be perceived as someone that doesn't know everything. These instructors are well trained and while we as parents have a lot of knowledge, we have a tendency to put too much pressure on our kids and it can be a big problem for them because they just want to live up to our expectations of success which can really ruin a hunt and turn them off. One positive thing of going to a class is they get to meet and see other people that are just like them.

    Online Hunter Education Course for Kids

    I put my kids through it when they were 9+10 along with myself after the woman from the Parks Dept made a big deal out of me sitting along side them in the class. She actually made the instructors throw me out because the class was full so the kids sat through the first class alone. Strings were pulled, which royally ticked her off, and a "spot" was opened up for me and I paid the full amount so I could be in the class with the kids. My 10yo got a higher score than me. LOL

    Any Fishing recommendations in Maui for honeymoon

    I can't help with the other islands but I have fished with these guys out of Oahu and caught fish. A Marlin about 450 pounds and a Yellow Fin about 135 pounds. Both within about a half hour of each other. My son boated the Yellow Fin then my buddies daughter caught the Marlin. We also saw a huge school of Yellow Fin busting the surface but my buddies daughter and son started getting seasick and wanted to go in. My son and I had some Scopace so the seas didn't bother us which were only about 2 1/2 feet. I would give them a call and see who they recommend. http://www.live-bait.com/frazier/CharterInfo/go
