New Winchester Model 70's(FN)
azhuntnut replied to BeardownAZ's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I don't have any direct experience with there new rifles, but I used to rep for FN. During some of my training I was told that they build all of the guns to meet military specs. I don't think you could go wrong with your choice. They have been building guns longer than any other manufacturer in the world. David -
Finally got a chance to shoot some of these big boys. They fly alot different than the mournings, and are hard to put down. We had one with some very nice colors. They were good eating over the fire, a bit like dark turkey. David

I ended up buying one of the Spinjag Loader, and Starter directly from the manufacturer. The gentlemen on the phone was very nice and knowledgeable, plus called me back after hours to take my order for me. They look like they are well made and should help a little more with accuaracy. I hope to shoot my muzzy within the next couple days to see how they work. David

Customizing a T/C Encore
azhuntnut replied to TEAM JESUS's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Jesus, I mostly used the Encores for big game hunting since I am a lefty. I used to own a bunch of Browning A-bolts, but found that I liked having several calibers to choose from, plus they are a little lighter. My Encores are just as accurate as any of my a-bolts were. They will also make you a better marksman knowing you only have one shot. David -
Magnum, I think that is a speck of dust in the air. That happens to us alot in that area. You can see in this pic that another deer must have walked by before him and kicked up the dust. David

This guy has the potential to be a really nice buck down the road. David

Rifle Kick....looking for suggestions for next rifle
azhuntnut replied to Redman's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I have gotten rid of my big bores in favor of shooting smaller caliber guns that are plenty for putting down a Coues deer. I prefer the .243 caliber using the Hornady light magnum 85 grain interbonds. I wouldn't mind picking up a 25-06 since it has great ballistics and only has about 11 pounds of recoil energy using a 100 bullet. David -
Customizing a T/C Encore
azhuntnut replied to TEAM JESUS's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I think the pins are about $30 bucks. I have heard that sometimes it works, that is why I found my own. You do not have to drill out the hole. The new pin is only thousands bigger in size. I had my machinist take the measurements for me. One of my frames has a trigger job from Van Horn and it feels great. The other breaks clean at 3.7 pounds which I think is good for hunting. David -
That is a cool lookin cat for sure. I don't think I have ever seen markings like that on a cat. David

Customizing a T/C Encore

I have done some work to mine that has made it a very accurate rifle. One of the first things you can do is take off the forearm and sand it down so it will not be touching the frame on either side, plus I sand mine a bit where the barrel might come in contact with it. Then I changed out my frame pin. Now you can buy these online for big bucks, but I found some hardened steel dowel pins that were less than a dollar that were just a tad larger than my original pin. Now it is a very tight lock-up. You can also have a trigger job done by a guy here in town by the last name of Van Horn, if it is already not good enough. He is the TC pro. Just doing the first two modifications will help your accuracy. David -
We have been using the Moultrie Gamespy I45 with the wireless GPS modem for a couple months now. It has saved us alot of trips out to check cameras, as well as leaving the area alone. It uses the AT&T cell service. I would recommend getting the solar panel or it will eat your batteries quickly. Here is a recent pic of some bucks using this camera. David

I had some of the new Duratracs on my Duramax for about 6k, but started to notice that they were getting hard to balance. Discount replaced two of them thinking the tires were bad. It did not fix the problem, so I decided to mark the tire with a grease pen and found out that the tire was actually rotating on the rim a little bit each time I accelerated. I really liked the tire and would have loved to keep it, but I couldn't stand the vibration on the highway. Goodyear tires have a little softer compound than other tires, which causes them to grip better on pavement. I had the same problem with there wranglers back in 2002 on one of my other trucks. If you have a high torque and heavy truck I would say pass on these tires. Discount ended up putting a set of BFG's on my truck and the problem went away completely. There not as good offroad, but get the job done. I have had at least 8 different types of tires (mud&AT's) (BFG/Toyo/Procomp/Goodyear)on my trucks in the last 7 years and found that the BFG AT's seem to hold up the best for me. They have to hold up to heavy towing, lots of highway, and offroad use. I would recommend the Duratracs over the BFG's if your truck is not a diesel. Which ever tire you buy, get the road hazard warranty. I already had to use it on a tire that only had 6k on it. David

Found this a couple weeks ago while stopping through the thick stuff. He looks like he would have been about 29-30 inches wide. David

Looking for a .50cal TC Encore muzzleloader barrel. I would prefer stainless, but would also take a blue. Let me know what you have and how much. David

Archery pig 10-44 units. I forgot to put my hunt numbers on my turkey application. I plan on taking my boy out anyways for his first turkey hunt. Best of all, my boy drew a 20c junior pig tag. It will be his first big game hunt. I hope the pig hunting is still good in there. David

We have been trying to get a pic of a couple good bucks lately, so I put out some Trophy Blend Scent zip tied to a stick in the background. As you can see, it worked very well. These pictures were taken within the last three days. I am hoping this big boy shows himself within the next couple days. We are using the Moultrie Game Spy I45. Dates and time on camera are wrong.

Josh, I have noticed a bunch of cats out this past weekend. I wonder if it has anything to do with the moon phase. We saw six cats in three days while muley hunting. Good job on the cats. David
