    I can be kinda obtuse...so you are saying since I have an opinion different than yours that I must not be intelligent?

    You should try a .001” crush fit after 10 days of Alaska rain and you might change your mind.

    I understand what tighter is. I just never thought I would ever hear someone recommend it for a hunting load. A good friend lost a chance at a huge Dall Sheep because his brass was too tight. Its not something I would ever do.

    Reloading for Semi auto

    I load both the same... no crimp. I don’t crimp if I don’t have to and then it is with a tapered crimp die.

    You are kidding about making you ammo tighter aren’t you?

    45b - who has this sheep tag?

    The shooter came back after Christmas and shot a 12 year old 172 class ram. Of course I had family obligations and couldn’t be there!

    They switched for “safety” (liability) reasons around 1984. I think Melvin Forbes has an after market 3 position safety with bolt lock.

    Favorite Bullet for Coues?

    Barnes in any gun that will group them. Nosler AB or Partition otherwise. Never seen a bullet failure with any of these.

    10 or 12 power ?

    My 8's and 15's almost never see any use since I bought 12's. I can hand hold them if I have too (they are on the tripod most of the time). I don't miss or need the extra power of the 15's and the field of view is amazing. It saves me one piece of glass to carry compared to the 8 (10) / 15 combo. I usually dual mount them with my spotting scope to get hat instant feedback.

    45b - who has this sheep tag?

    Good advice. That ram may be north of 170. When stalking him a huge malipi rock broke free and tumbled the shooter. Broke his rifle stock in half, destroyed his Swaro rifle scope....and destroyed his his back. We will regroup and we will be back.

    45b - who has this sheep tag?

    Help.... I’m helping a friend in 45b for sheep and having a heck of a time seeing anything. It could be I just suck but my pride isn’t willing to accept that! We have been on the north end of the unit . As far down as red raven wash/hoodoo well and on the NW end by the Kofa Cabin and Alamo wash. Does anyone have any suggestions? We have seen a couple of 150 type rams but Dzongkha really wants one over 160...

    Kimber mountain ascent rifle

    My son has a Rifles Inc in 270. Complete with VX6HD 3x18 and Talley rings it comes in under 6 1/2 lbs. I have no problem going prone and shooting sub 2" groups at 500 yards with this gun. It still shoots sub 1/2 moa at 800 yards which is about as far as I've shot it. I think it is harder to shoot a lighter rifle but practicing with one will make a person a better shot in the long run.
  16. This is for a friend. Never even taken out of the boxes. These 4 items would cost over $5,000 at Outdoorsmans I am leaving Sunday morning for 15 days for the Kaibab. Contact me if you are interested and we can make arrangements he might be will to piece out for the right price. Mike Flagstaff 928.607.6327
  17. Only a few hours left before I leave. There is still time to work something out.
  18. This is a steal. I find it hard to believe no one has bought it.

    WTB swaro 1.7 me

    There are times in the right light when it works excellent with the BTX. Remember the BTX already splits the light to goto both eyes then the 1.7x looses over half the light once again. In Photography this would be about 2 2/3 F-Stops. Ive never used it with the spotting scope. It’s hard enough to get to use the 70x of the scope sometimes.
