No Sir. It isn't on a river. It is in the hills south-southwest of town. It isn't anything super cool like the buildings some have posted, just some stacked stone walls. If you are really interested in checking it out I can PM you directions or a GPS coordinate or something.

I know of 1 up in the Bradshaws southwest of Mayer that I ran across hunting a few years ago. It looks like a rock outcropping from far, but when you get up there the rock outcropping has been built up and fortified with stacked stone walls and such. I didn't get pictures which I regret.

I shoot a Weatherby Vanguard series 1 in 257 weatherby. It is made by Howa and let me tell you I have been very happy with it. It doesn't even have the nicer stock an such of the newer series 2, but it is a shooter. I recently put a Timney trigger in it and it is even better. Other than the trigger it is completely stock. I have shot multiple groups that are sub-MOA @ 100yards with the rifle before and after the trigger. 1 of my groups right after the trigger was sub-1/2" MOA. I really like the howa/weatherby vanguard. I have stretched it out to 500 yards a couple times, and even before I dialed the rifle in with good loads and the trigger work I was hitting 8" steel at 500yds pretty regularly. It sounds like it would be a great platform to start with for what you are after.

Pics please.

I just put a new scope on my 6.5x55 today. Blue lock tight all the way around. Always use blue for scopes and alot on trucks too. Harley

Bruno's has 8lb'ers in stock according to the website. $220/ea. Not the best price but they are local and it is in stock.

Each rifle is different. You will have to shoot them both in your rifle to answer that question. My 257 weatherby likes sst better than nosler bt, but it likes berger VLDs the best followed by hornady btsp. Harley.

Phoenix Rod and gun has up to 500 yards.

I want it, but I don't need it. Bump. Great rifle for the price.

I saw a nice lifted red dodge mega cab hauling down the 101 northbound on near the stadium. Nice looking truck.

Needs more work...I mean nice work. The bottom 2 groups are really nice.

I am working reviving a Kimber 6.5x55 sporterized mauser right now for my backup rifle. I picked up a new Redfield scope today and some Leupold rings. I also picked up some Hornady SSTs to run through it. This will probably also be my son's first deer rifle so I wanted to start working up the accuracy and quality of the rifle and working up a load. He is only 3.5 yrs old so I hope I have enough time to get it dialed in.... Harley

No cables. Get real chains. Cables are for cars or going fast. Real chains are for full out traction.

Sportsman's Warehouse north phx showed 1 8lb keg on the powder list as of 20 min ago. I passed on it because I have already made a deal with the OP on 1. Someone call them and make sure they have it, and go get it. Harley

I have a full set of real chains for my truck. I have thankfully only had to use them 1 time but let me tell you there is no replacement for real tire chains. \ I have a late rifle cow tag north of Flagstaff and they will be in the truck for sure.

Are there any smith's on the Westside or central valley that could do a brake on a marlin xl7. PCR wouldnt do it. We are hoping for a quick turn around. My buddy wants to get it done within a week or 2. Harley

Lance, You want to split an 8 lber? Harley

Do you ever get to the central or west valley? I am interested but getting out to QC doesn't happen often.

When I shoot the barrel out of my 257 weatherby I might rebarrel it to 6.5x257 weatherby. I might build the 6.5-06 ackley for one of my kids too. I like wildcats too and 6.5 is great bullet. I will stay tuned to your variant of the 6.5 you are after.

I know 6.5-06 has already been built which should be basically what you are talking about building so the reamer already exists. It would be finding 1 especially in ackley improved. I have not delved into building mine much yet, but it has always been on my wish list when I actually can build a rifle. Harley

Do it. I have always wanted to build a 6.5-06. I know it can be done and would be a sweet rifle.

More info will probably net you more accurate and more answers. Are you talking .22-50bmg or 5.45x700 nitro? Wildcats are cool in my book, what are you thinking? Harley

I fully plan to take try and take my cow elk with my Blackhawk in 45LC if the opportunity presents itself. I doubt it will but you never know. I will be shooting 300gr Hornady xtp or speer 300gr jsp bullets in it. Harley
