I am just hunting normal units, but alot of places have no cell signal. And this year is the first time I have been taking my kids (8 &11) out without another adult around, so incase of emergency I wanted something to have with me.

If you are going to hunt with that round, I would be afraid of the Hornady bullets grenading on short range shots because of the extreme velocity. I would want a heavier construction for a hunting bullet in a round that fast.

What is th max draw 31"?

I ended up with a Garmin Mini 2. Seems good so far. I used it several times this weekend to check in with my wife when I was out of cell range.

I have 2 Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard type rifles that need new scope rail/ring setups. I want something that is stout and dependable, these will be go to hunting rifles. Both rifles currently have Leupold standard dovetail front, screw rear setups. 1 is on a 300 weatherby mag, and the rear screw mount is failing. The 2nd rifle is a lighter 6.5x55. Both rifles will have 30mm tube 50mm objective scopes. Burris Veracity 3x15x50 if it matters. Neither rifle needs to be 1200 yard type rifles so I don't need 20moa type cant. Thoughts? I am thinking DNZ Game Reaper? I like rails and nice rings, but that is $$$. What would you do?

If you are looking for a rail the EGW rail is cut for the howa ejection port. Remington rails will fit, but they are cut a little different at the ejection port. I have an EGW rail on 1 rifle. I have leupold on a couple too, but I am.bought to ditch those. 1 isn't handling 300 weatherby mag recoil well. The other is on a 6.5x55 and is fine, but I am putting a new scope on it so I need a new setup.

I have a similar setup on 1 rifle and it has been good. It is just more $$$ and honestly it is more screws to come loose than something like a DNZ which is why I was looking at those maybe. I use loctite on all the screws for rings and bases for sure.

I wish I didn't have a bunch of $35 boxes in my cabinet...😢🤣

29 is the unit I would want that tag in. I haven't hunt 29 in years, and only for deer, but I have seen Turkey there almost every time. I saw more turkey than deer.

I believe Bruno's has Lapua brass in stock.

Not sure. Didn't know there was a difference honestly.

Sportsmans north Phoenix had some the other day.

I have only ever seen 1 in person in the wild. It was up at Table Mesa in the river bottom years ago when I was 4 wheeling. It was pink and black. Very cool to see.

It is safe as long as the dam doesn't fail. It was really cool actually, I highly recommend it if you can get out there soon.

Alot of water coming out of horseshoe.

The only thing we saw was a bobcat and cows. We were moving around the unit alot though just checking out different areas. We also got side tracked for a little bit helping rescue a couple from Tempe that had a flat tire and a nonfunctional jack way up a side road.

We did not. We checked out some stuff in the southern half of the unit, didn't see alot, and started working into the northern half to get a better lay of the land up there. My older son with the tag though started feeling bad so we turned the overnight trip into a 1 day trip and didn't get to check out as much of the northern area as I would have like.

The road from Roosevelt to Young is all good, we drove it today.

I am headed up in the AM. We will see. Going to work south to north thru the unit most likely.

What are you cooking? For me if it is a long cook item i like to wrap it after a couple hours to help keep it moist and cook a little faster. Then near the end you unwrap it and let it bark up some more. I like smoke, but you can over so it IMO especially if you use a more potent wood.

It say you can't either I cleaner out some space.

Second. If you have any insight when you are up there, let me know. It will be my first time hunting Turkey in 23, and only second time ever.

Good question. I am thinking about heading up that way to scout for a Turkey hunt this weekend.

I have ABSOLUTELY no need for this, but part of me really wants it. 🤣
