Mid 30's just north of Saguaro Lake off Cottonwood Creek. Drove in off of Four Peaks Rd down to where an old ranch used to be and slept in the bed of my truck. Got up in the morning and walked the wash toward the lake and about 200 yards in I came around a bend and there stood two spikes sparing. As I reached for my Contender they stopped and looked at me so I pulled up my 06 and shot one at about 75'. They both ran over the bank of the wash and disappeared. I followed and found blood and tracked it a short way and it came back across the wash twice and about 50 yards down the wash it died. I had some rope in my pack so I dragged it over to a Palo Verde and was able to get it somewhat upright enough to gut it. I managed to throw him up across my shoulders and hiked back to the truck and with my free hand dropped the tailgate on the old 72 2WD Chevy Truck and plopped him down in the bed. A hour later I was home and while the wife was at work I butchered it up on the kitchen table. This was maybe 1984 or 85. I had bought the rifle new at Walk-In Auto in Tempe for $269. It was a Winchester Featherweight and kicked like a mule and gave it to one of my brothers a few years later complete with Tasco scope. The Contender had a 10" octagon 44 barrel with a 1.5X Thompson Scope I bought from a friend for $100. It was an early production model with a mid 13K serial number. Later I put a 14" 223 barrel on it and Dave Van Horn tightened up the frame with an aftermarket pin. You could cover the groups with a dime. H322 was the most accurate powder and at the time was $4.99 from Pistol Parlour in Mesa and marked as Mil Surplus. The contender was sold around 1989 or 90 to fund an XP-100.

Should be an easy Google search. I do know it has to be posted with a sighn every so many feet.

What a sport.

Kudos to SHOOTER.

Heck of a rifle for someone.

Wimmen! Some (or their mothers) want every detail perfect. It's an honor, or curse, to be part of the wedding party. Good Luck finding some boots. Ariat has free returns if you order off their website.

The MV velocity differences of even 150fps won't mean didly squat at 300 or 800 yards as far as energy goes. More is always better but,,, pick a bullet that will expand and understand what it will do at those ranges. Shoot some rounds into wet newspaper at those ranges. Load for accuracy first after you decide on a bullet.

Maybe just rent them for your hunt.

DId you get the round out and now there is just the top half of the case in there? If you have a .17 or .22 cleaninf rod run it through teh case from the chamber and then put a 22 cal bronze brush on it and pull it back. Was it a reload? 223's will separate about 5/8" up from the head after the case has been resized 6-8 times.

Even the EW's aren't real wide. Nice LW boot with almost no break in.

Start at Peppersauce and go south. Hike in a bit to get away from the road, then glass.

Paid more for mine. I'm guessin this day of $30K ATV's and $100K trucks people don't tent it anymore.

Eff that. Not trying to scare them. #4 Buck. THen trace the collar back to the owner.

RSD. They have offices all over but I'm not sure is they do retail. If you go to one and they have the part and won't do retail let me know and I'll put it on my account and you can pay me cash.

Kinda the Holy Grain of actions. Are those 100 yard groups?

Too bad he didn't make it to POTUS Joe.

That's a heck of a buck. Did you hunt Sonora or Chihuahua?

Brian, Is the panel inside or out? I am guessing it is a screw in fuse panel? I would think maybe $3K? It's been years since I did one as just a homeowner and I pulled a permit both times. If it is just replacing a panel on the outside of the house it will be 4-8 hours. The City inspector will probably make the contractor install two ground rods and bond the water line and natural gas if you have that. The contractor can do some prep work but when it is ready to be changed out SRP will come out and disconnect the power then the panel gets swapped out and the circuits landed on the breakers and bonging tied in. The the City Inspector shows up and Green Tags it and then SRP comes back and connects the main power.

Is there a limit as to how many miles a year it can be driven?

Two in 30A and two in 30B.

TX is a tad farther but you don't need a license and you won't be charged per hog.

Tony, Make sure they are insured and bonded. Don't cut corners it could cost you tens of thousands if they get hurt or there is property damage to your place or your neighbors.

Since you are selling it and the buyer will probably replace it anyway get some estimates to put in new carpet. You will more than get your money back and it will add to the curb appeal. Even new medium grade carpet will look better than older carpet that has been professionally cleaned.
