I had some that were roosted a little more than 15' up in a dead tree in South Oklahoma. There were taller trees around.

Sounds like my hunt last year in 1. It was quiet the whole time. I was in OK a few years ago and had one come in hot from about 30 yards at about 3:30 in the afternoon when my buddy did a couple of hen calls. He gobbled right back and we barely had time to set up. Back in 2016 I was sitting on a friends porch trying to get out out the wind in Sonora and had a Tom cruising past the house about 75 yards away in the late afternoon headed to roost gobbling his head off. I'm just conditioned to getting into them at first light.

I also have them on a 243, 30-06 and 7 Mag and have never had a problem. I also use blue loctite, torque them to about 15"lbs and let them sit for a day before shooting them. The rings on the Tikka 06 have been on there for close to 20 years.

Very Nice Speck you got there. Great tasting too. Topwater?

What are you basing your pricing on for a scope that is almost 60 years old?

I have bought a few knives for friends from Bucks Custom Shop over the last couple of years mostly as gifts. Now I order the S30V blades and realize these are mass produced and they are shaving sharp, but. Being an anal Sum'Bitch with an engineering background one thing that bugs me is one side of the blade has a different angle than the other maybe ground 10 thousands higher but both edges have quite a bit of what I call "chatter". Can I use a ceramic rod to smooth it down? I'm probably the only guy who can take a reasonably sharp know make it duller attempting to sharpen it. Maybe a leather strop or a buffing wheel should be what is needed to clean it up. If anyone knows someone in the East Valley who has experience I would appreciate it. I'm not looking for a professional service where I have to drop it off. I just want those ridges gone on a 110.

What's the Post It Notes Version?

Thanks. I do have a 5000 grit Japanese stone and it is already shaving sharp.

I haven't been to Bartlett since the road was paved. Are there signs to get to Horseshoe once you get to Bartlett?

Pretty Bird.

I bought 100pcs of ADG for my 7 Mag with the mindset that it would be money well spent and eliminate one part of the equation when chasing accuracy. I heard good things about it and figured it would be a good investment considering how much time is spent working up a load plus the cost of bullets, powder and primers.

Practicing Shots in the Field
PRDATR replied to CannonBallZ's topic in Black Bear or Grizzly Bear hunts
Well 5X is more than fine enough for a bear at that distance. I have the same rifle, same caliber. Look at some ballistic tables and my guess is with a 150 yard zero it will be about 24" low at 350 but that really varies, but not by too much. -

Welcome to the site. Sounds like you are fairly new to shooting. What caliber are you shooting? -
I was there Saturday and it was clear and no ice. Big Lake is now accessible and ice free.

Ouch!

As far as I know AZ has no point system but may have reciprocity like the DMV does.

Billfold or Wallet is more of a colloquialism/regional thing. If you find it let him know.

I wanted a 1000 but ended up with the 2500HG. I went shopping to replace an ultralight rod with a $75 budget and ended up with this and St Croix rod. Only money right. The combo weighs in at 11.5 ounces.

Styrafoam most likely. The whole mount is probably 20 pounds.

The CL add shows 222,369.
