Good read so far. I'm no expert long range shooter by any means but I sure do my best at practicing at all ranges. I also make sure to practice from hunting situations because there is a great difference between shooting off a concrete table with little to no vertical angle and shooting in a hunting situation off a pack, shooting sticks, bipod, or whatever other means. During an actual hunt I always try to sneak in as close as possible without making a situation where I can spook the animal out. However, in some instances, there can be an animal straight across a canyon and 600 yards is your closest option. (For people that disagree they obviously have never hunted unit 27). This past week my sister smoked a coues buck with my rifle at 850 yards one shoot dead as can be. We needed the elevation at our setup to be able to see the bucks when they stood up so moving positions was not a viable option. She had a rock solid rest from the prone position and had more than enough time to figure out the shot when it was presented. The buck i ended up shooting was a totally different situation. We glassed him up way out. Closed in to 630 yards and could have attempted a shot but I knew could get a lot closer. I ended up climbing a ridge to not only get within 320 yards but I also changed my shooting angle from 22 degrees to 3 degrees. When the buck stood up to stretch his legs I anchored him down with 1 clean and ethical shot I was more than comfortable making. I have put in the time, effort, money, time, time and more time to be able to take a further shot if needed. On the other hand, I'll close the distance as much as possible whenever I can. I'm not trying to make an argument for either side. I know what I'm capable of shooting in a situation and if I attempt a shot then that means I'm comfortable with the variables. Each situation is different for everyone so just because you lose a wounded animal doesn't mean you took an unethical shot. I enjoy reading everyone's opinion so I figured I'd throw mine out there for everyone to chew up. Armand

Never worn out in the hills. Tried on and decided to go with a sitka hoodie instead. Color is major brown. $85. I can ship if need be for an extra $7. Pm me or text at 928 322-2962 Armand

Sign me up for the same list as you.

Sweet rifle. If only I was ready for another build

I agree with all the guys that are running promaster carbons. I've had mine a solid 3 years of use and it's still in great shape. Running it with a manfrotto 701hdv is hard to beat.

Yes sir it's unit wide

Hello. I'm selling a land owner permit for elk in unit 51 New Mexico. The tag is good for bull elk and there's even a hunt option for any elk. The tag belongs to my brother in law but since he is working out of the country he asked if I could get it sold for him. I'm not exactly sure what this tag generally goes for.. Text me at 928 322 2962 if you are interested or want to make an offer. Worst case scenario is I use the tag myself but I'd rather get it sold for him. I attached the available hunt dates. Armand

Pm sent

Good idea mulepacker. I don't want to try and price gouge, just looking for market price
-
Does your brother want another tag for his camp?
-
Ya I don't know what to tell you bud. Last year he sold it to the one guy he talked to and it went for that. I guess it's worth what someone is willing to pay
-
He sold it last year for $2,500 so he expects about the same
-
I honestly could not give details about the unit. I've never been there

I know it's a long shot since they quit making them a few years back but I'm looking for a Manfrotto 701hdv tripod head. Let me know if you have one laying around or are just looking to move it for something else. Text me 928 322 2962 Thanks Armand
-
That's a bit too big for what I'm looking for. Thanks anyways
-
10-4 let me know!
-
I know it's a long shot but my new rifle is liking the federal 215's like my others and I'm running awful thin. If anyone has some laying around I'd be glad to take them off your hands for cash or trade for some CCI 250 mag primers. Let me know what you have. Thanks, Armand 928 322 2962

Hey guys, I'm trying to track down some Remington 7mm Mag brass headstamp R-P. Let me know what you have available! If you're far from me I'll definitely cover shipping. Thanks! Armand 928 322 2962

Just as much as I can find.

Don't tempt me Devin! Makes sense since my eyes are too narrow for the twin Swaros!
