He's a beautiful bull! Huge congrats.

Anybody have a beater short action savage they want to get rid of? Need an action for a project gun.

Any offers, trades?

Dang! Super bull BC! Congrats on a beauty!

The tuxedo t-shirt makes the picture! That is awesome! Congrats on the goat too.

I actually had a similar incident when I was around 15 or 16. I was out duck hunting one morning near town, didn't have any luck and later in the morning shot a couple birds - something I grew up doing all the time with my pellet gun in the woods of Oklahoma. A game warden walked up and asked if I was duck hunting. I said, "Yeah, but no ducks so I'm just shooting some of these 'dickie' birds". He just laughed and recognized I obviously didn't realize that what I was doing was not legal, then informed me that here in AZ, any bird not given a specific season was illegal to shoot. That was over 25 years ago and I've never shot another non-game bird since. IMO, he handled the situation correctly. Problem solved, no courts or fines and no "repeat offenses". People are just a little too up-tight these days, lol.

Nice job, Shane!

Sweet rifle - I've always liked those.

awesome vid!

I'm your huckleberry. My son has an elk hunt starting tomorrow so next week is going to be busy, but shoot me a PM.

Good luck and have fun!!!

I'm trying to liquidate some things to put toward a .257 wby, but what do you have in mind?

Forgot to mention - it has a Simms recoil pad on it, so even hoghntr can shoot it . Also, price is OBO.

Yamaha DTXplorer including throne. Asking $400 OBO - That seems to be the average price on Ebay, Amazon (used) and CL. Got it for the boys and nobody plays it - it's used but in brand new condition (paid $700 + $50 for throne). Would trade for .204 ruger, 22-250, .240, possibly handgun, bulk .223 or .22LR ammo, or ????. http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-DTX500K-Electronic-Drum-Kit/dp/B000WFWQ8M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410282613&sr=8-2&keywords=yamaha+dtxplorer

Anyone been watching this? http://www.nosler.com/news-and-articles/2013/11/22/the-26-nosler It looks like it could be one amazing round. It's built around the Accubond LR bullets, and as far as I've seen, rifles specially made by Nosler. I'm not aware of any other barrel makers out there, let alone big names behind this round. Nosler, who I didn't even know was in the rifle building business has their model 48 line that seems to be centered around this round. The brass is $66 per 25 on Midway USA. The reloading data is really where I find this round interesting. Wildcats love to overbore, but this is pushing things further than most wildcats, and for Nosler to break into the rifle building world around what I consider a pretty extreme cartridge: Powder charge runs from the high 70's in Retumbo to high 80's in mag powders, even 90+ compressed loads. That's a .260, 130 grain bullet. Compare that with .300 WSM where the loads are between 65-74 grains, or 300 Wby Mag or RUM, between 76 and 82 grains, and these loads are designed for 180 grain bullet for the most part. I have to say, I'm a little skeptical about pushing a .260 bullet behind what amounts to an Ultra Magnum case/charge, but it's beltless unlike the WBY mags that have always looked to take a tame, fast round and supercharge it on a .404 Jeffrey's case. The advertised MV is over 3400 fps with a Point Blank Rang of 0-415 yards. No bullet I've seen can match that, but will it be a commercially viable round?

Looks like there will be quite a few of us down there with leftover tags.

Midway USA has some Norma and Nosler 300 WSM but it's pretty pricey.

Awesome! Great job Braedon. What beautiful country that is.

Thanks - he is #9. Looks like Prescott and Sahuarita are both 4A (Grand Canyon and Kino) conference, whereas BR is 3A, so I was confusing conference and division.

The list I saw of Sahuarita was a couple years old, so if they've moved to D4, my apologies. http://www.maxpreps.com/division/az/7YzrH1oD8Um3oy9pU4Dxxw/football-fall-12/standings-division-iii.htm Regardless, both teams in numbers and physical size were way larger than us. My son is one of the sophomores playing varsity for BR this year.

Awesome as always. Thanks for sharing!
