They are $399 right now at Doug's. V-plex reticle only. Thought others would like to know.

I shoot the 185's out of my 300 win mag. Shot several deer with it here in GA this fall, from less than 20 yards to just over 300. Not a single one took a step. I shot some HSM ammo in my 223 last year. Worked fine.

Bump for an awesome case. I had over 50 flights with mine last year, and not a single issue. In case anyone is wondering, I can get in this case my bull barrel(26") varmint rifle, 870(28") 12 ga shotgun and Sig 516 with 4 heavy duty locks and still be under the 50lb limit for checking bags. I can also fit either of my bows, along with my sidearm, optics, arrows and clothing and be under as well. Good luck with the sell.

I'll take it. PM sent.

Pics & details? Thanks.

I'm working in GA. I'll be home for the weekend in two weeks. I have a spare pair you can borrow for the season. They are nothing special, but better than not having any glass at all.

Bump from another blue koolaide fan!

My baby sister is moving to Tucson in August to finish up her degree at U of A. She is looking for housing within a few miles of campus with a yard for her dog(Dachshund). She is mature(26yo) and responsible, has paid her own way through college, and has worked full time since in high school. She is open to roommates, assuming they are also mature and responsible, and understand she is there to focus on school. If anyone has a line on somewhere, I'd appreciate any info. Thanks.

She is majoring in plant sciences. And no need for pictures, she's taken.

When I lived in CO, I would see 3-5 fresh ones every morning driving the 25+ miles home from work. In the 2 months since I started working here in GA, I've seen 4 happen to the vehicle in front of me and about 3 fresh ones a week, and it is maybe a 15 mile commute.

Brunos has the best selection by a long shot. Prices on primers and powder are still too high for my liking, but looked like they had started coming down on them a little last time I asked. I get all my brass and non-plinking bullets there. I get my primers and powder from sportsmans. I've managed to snag a few pounds of powder from Dillon this last year while stopping by to pick up things for my 550. They did have the best price of anywhere I've seen locally, but they don't get much when they do get some in.

Are you shipping the rifles to yourself? If so, you do not need to ship through an FFL.

RL 17 gives some impressive speeds, with more than acceptable accuracy.

If I am back from GA by then I'll go with ya.

Bump for a great scope. I love mine. MRAD or MOA?

Started mine out in the dessert playing with the quail wings on a string(still her favorite game). Had my wife start firing the training pistol from about 200 yards away, slowly working her way into us. By the end of our third trip out, my wife was standing next to me. Never an issue.

They are only a few hours from me where I am working at here in GA. Call and see if they will allow local pick up. If so, I can swing down there and either pick it up for you and bring it with me when I fly back next month or just put hands on and make sure it is as advertised and in stock.

Yet another reason to put a Jewell in before you leave the store.

Still the best GPS on the market, IMHO.

I'm in the middle of redoing my garage and have found a bunch of decoys I no longer use. I'd much rather them be used by a young hunter just getting into the sport, as that is how I came to own most of them. Here's the catch: I would like you to share with the site how you got into waterfowl hunting, or a story about your favorite trip, or least favorite trip, fondest memory so far, etc. Who ever has the best story by the end of the day next friday, the 7th, will get the gear. Oh yeah, your parents also have to vouch for you that your grades are up to par. The gear will be available for pick up in the Cave Creek/New River area next weekend, and I would suggest an SUV or truck bed to pick everything up. I will try to get some pictures up this afternoon.

Has anyone ever been charged the oversized baggage fee by southwest when traveling with a rod tube? I was shocked this morning when the manager at the counter said it was oversized and therefor subject to a $75 charge.

How funny, I started in basic. Gotta love that contraband!

I had my last dip on August 6th, 2006, and last smoke the day before. I cannot stand the smell of cigarettes, but every time I see a can of Copenhagen, I have to open up and take a whiff. That stuff smells so dang good, and love the memories it brings back.

Congrats bud, good shooting.

Looks like I will be in GA a bit longer than planned, and would like to have someone available to help out around the house while I am away. If anyone is a handyman, or knows of a good one, in the Desert Hills area, I would greatly appreciate any contact information. Thanks,
