    Problem with rifle

    Sounds like excessive headspace. Have someone with Go-No Go gauges check it. You could also be setting the Shoulder too far back if you are resizing the cases, try backing off on the locking ring one full turn.
  5. Thanks for offer Amanda. We are having a family reunion in the south in a couple of weeks so I may take it with me and give it to my sister to take back with her. I can't believe it's almost November.
  6. So over the last month or so I bought a rifle here from a CWT member and a stock from another for a family member who lives in Monument and wanted to get into big game hunting. I added a newer scope I had taking up space, some new Burris rings and a Limbsaver pad. The rifle is almost 50 years old and is a real shooter and I'm pretty happy to have been able to do this for him. I'd rather get it to him this way then to look for a box to ship it to him and have it get lost or damaged. I'll also toss some money your way for your trouble and gas.

    Rusher Blackhawk .357 and 9mm plus holster

    The holster looks like it has a lot of experience. What year is the gun and how many rounds have been through it? Are you the original purchaser?

    Sweet.
  11. Nice, glad to hear that.
  12. Wow, so sorry to hear about that. Prayers for his family and all of those who knew him that lost a dear friend and family member.
  13. I just cannot seem to get behind Western Extreme... I'm sure Burnworth is a fantastic guy in real life, but on the show he just seems real uppity. I LOVE JIM SHOCKEY!!! Solo Hunter is an awesome show. Eastmans (EHJ and EBJ) magazine is great- I'm a subscriber for life! Try Heartland Bowhunter- you'll dig it. He definitely has a lot of enthusiasm. He gives back a lot to the sport and is a family guy. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jim-Burnworth/117605208348573

    Fall Color Trip to New Hampshire and Maine

    Now I'm officially homesick. LOL Beautiful pic's Amanda, thanks for posting them.
  15. Great buck. Ears and body look 100% Coues to me comparing it to the size of the rifle.

    rifles and calibers...

    The 30.06 is the Marilyn Monroe of cartridges.

    Unit 27 Prank

    That's just wrong.

    I bet he feels terrible. I think we have all left stuff out there at one time or another. I left a brand new pair of subscription sun glasses in 33 a few years ago and I know of a guy who left a pair of Zeiss Binos in 29 many years ago.
  19. It is going to be for a friend and probably needs to be a full custom job from start to finish with his make on it and some game animals. I would prefer to have it made in AZ so I can sit with the person who will make it. Maybe one of those places that make custom boots?

    Rings and bases

    I just put a pair of these on a rifle a few days ago. I usually always get two piece Leupold bases and rings but this rifle I am putting together for my BIL has Weaver Bases so I went with the Burris rings.
  21. The vast amount of TV Hunting shows are unwatchable IMFHO. The show I will watch are Jim Shockey, Western Extreme, Solo Hunter, Eastmans and Wild Skies. We pi$$ and moan a lot about opportunities we have here in AZ. But what many don't get is that much of the country is locked up which creates a lot of pressure on public land and private lands can just be a five acre plot. Some places in the east get 50 inches of rain and it is thick, thick, thick with shots limited to 50 yards. Totally different kind of hunting, but if you have the bug then you do what you have to do to hunt.
