He is looking to trade a 7-08 for a 243 not just looking for a stock as the 7-08 has two stocks.

No, , if the Partition shoots good at long range, then a few inches higher or lower is going to make NO difference., Every different gun/bullet/load combination shoots differently. The higher BC does mean a bullet will shoot flatter given the same muzzle velocity, If you really want to try to improve your long range performance, I would try some of the bullets that are made for the job of hunting. Before logging on the net today, I got off the phone with a friend getting a (second hand) report on another friends elk hunt, and his experience with "long range hunting". Seems he tried those "Berger" bullets and a Huskama scope on a guided hunt. It took him 5 shots to put the bull down. When they got to the elk, all 5 shots had been placed right, and all 5 had blown up like varmint bullets, producing very poor penetration. , I hate hearing that. What was the range and what caliber was he shooting?

http://www.blackriverkennels.net/ - Under For Sale Im all for convenience but for those of us that browse with mobile (at least for both my apple products) that website makes my browser appear as if its on meth and seriously tweeking..If you can't take the time to provide basic information then be cognizant that it is somewhat aggravating to click another link that just gives you problems and frankly my interest disappears.Just sayin... Sorry, I was just trying to help. I don't have a smart phone (Blackberry) and do not use it to access the Net. He was asking $2,500.

I picked up some info from this topic and decided to do the skull from the Coues I shot a week ago. I'm using the 3% Peroxide and googled the heck out of Skull Cleaning. Over the course of a couple of hours and a lot of reading I came across this website. I recommend reading the sticky on the top. The skull I am doing is coming along ok but I am definitely not a taxi. I put it in some hot water to loosen the remaining meat for a 1 1/2 hours on the side burner of my grill keeping it hot not boiling it. I let it cool and cleaned if off and picked out the brains. I put it back in with some Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda to degrease it and get the cartiledge out and it did that ok. I then rinsed it and put it into the peroxide on Thursday night. Friday I took it out and rinsed it with hot water and then soaked it in the sink under hot water and it started to leach out fatty oil so I repeated it a few times, rinsed it and put it back in the peroxide where it remains. http://www.taxidermy.net/forum/index.php/board,17.0.html

You the fella I ran into in Sportsmans in Mesa a couple of weeks ago?

I think we are still a few weeks out but one can always hope.

I was very disappointed in the one I got a few years ago. It only lists a few in each Hunt Unit.

As I sit here having dinner of my own "Gift Buck" from last weekend I can relate.

Nice. I'm officially in the Christmas Spirit now. Great Job.

Don, I like to use these for a Cover Scent. http://www.amazon.com/Hunters-Specialties-Fresh-Earth-Wafers/dp/B000ND7EG2

Go to an Archery Shop and have them observe your form when you shoot before you pick any bad habits. I know it is tempting but try not to sneak in closer than 15-20 yards as they can sometimes hear you breathing and hear the bow as you draw it back. Never walk with an arrow nocked because it you loose your footing you could potentially fall on the broad head, happened to me.

I'm not familiar with that area but I just finished hunting in Unit 33 and only saw Does on Thursday and over 20 on Friday. Saturday Morning I shot a 2 1/2 year old 3x3 at 7:10am so keep your eyes open. I glassed with a pair of 20x80's on Thursday and Friday and never saw horns but heard shots on and off. Stick with it and the deer will start to move after the pressure from the weekend warriors lets up.

But a Govenors Tag or a couple of tags offered up at auction for $300K+ each pays for the whole fiasco. WIN/WIN/WIN. Right?

Nobody worth their salt is going to shoot cast bullets in a 7Mag since they are limited to under 2000fps. Waste of powder and lead unless your in the Upper Penninsula in January.

H3ll yeah. I taught my son to drive my truck when he was about 8. Never know when they will have to actually to do it if you can't.

I know you said she doesn't hunt but is that because she is gun shy?

If he shoots the BT99 well why not get him one of those? Are there any gunsmith/stock builders left out there any more who can fit a stock for eye alignment? I know there used to be some National Shoots up at Ben Avery around this time of year. Lots of world class shooters who are willing to help out a youngster. I wouldn't jump into it buying him a gun just to get him something for Christmas. Good luck to you and your son in finding the right gun. Nothing wrong in shooting a 20ga. If he really gets into it he will want a K80 with tubes in 410. 28, 20 and 12 gauge. Then you need a Ponneses Warren.

The BSA did have some decent reviews on SWFA. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=OS223312X40A

I have been looking at them for a while too, just have not gotten around to getting one. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentId=productDetail&prodId=NK8496&green=7653565A-C523-5A26-AA5A-D78AF613092D

I have one with a 24" barrel I bough back in the early 90's and it shoots most everything under an inch at 100 yards.

Good to hear. I know that chemical storage is a real challenge especially for homeowners who are unaware of the dangers of storing things like chlorine, acid and gasoline in the same location.

Millers Southwest has been around forever and they do great work. There is a company that makes sausage for most of the local supermarkets that also will make you up sausage but I don't think they will process a complete animal. Sorry but I can't remember the name but they are on the West Side of Phoenix. Maricopa County Community College District teaches a meat cutter class and also takes in animal but I don't know the price. Just don't be like the guy who brought in a whole animal because they will not field dress it for you.

This is a pretty good resource and about as close to real time as you can get. http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rimfire/22lr/http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rimfire/22lr/ I know that Tractor Supply is moving into the state but it will probably be at least late spring 2014 before any of their stores are built. I understand that also carry ammo.
