I am going to go to Healys soon. They have the kiosk and are supposed to be very knowledgeable. I spoke with a friend who reps Deadair and he recommended them, and they also support this site. Or have in the past.

If the 2.5-8 falls through please PM me.

My wife wanted to see the donkeys out by lake Pleasant so we went hiking on a trail they are known to frequent. My older son was about 9 and was walking out front followed by myself, my wife, and younger son who was about 6. My older son is just walking about 10-20' ahead of me. I was scanning the trail ahead of him because I know he probably wasn't. I spotted this little one in the trail and yelled stop. Thankfully my son stopped as he was only about 10' away. A couple more steps and he would have been on it. We had to wait about 5-10 minutes for it to clear the trail enough to pass safely.

I have been checked a few times. Twice in 20a while javelina hunting. 1 of those times we flagged him down because when we setup camp we found a dead javelina in the bushes and didn't want him to think we killed and didn't tag/use the meat. I was checked dove hunting about 5yrs ago too.

Try standard primers. Rl22 seems to be the ticket but good luck finding some. The load for my buddies 6.5prc is 143 gr ELDX with RL26 and standard primers. It is about 5/8" group at 100. About 52.2gr if I remember right off the top of my head.

Sportsmans north Phoenix has them. $12 a box is about the cheapest though.

I have a Vortex 6x24x50 HSLR I am considering selling. Good shape, but it is to high of power on the low side for me. I am going to step down to a 3x or 4x something. Let me know if you are interested.

A buddy just got an AR10 with picatinny rail. What is the best route for scope mount for this? Standard rings or does it need a cantilever mount like an AR15? He has not decided on scope yet, but I wanted to find a good budget minded option for mounting options. Thanks

A shovel and HiLift Jack can get alot of people unstuck. Those should be the first 2 primary tools in anyone's recovery kit. Straps, winches, chains, etc should be plan B alot if times.

The ball or the pin? The hitch pin is in double shear and rated to take the weight of pulling trailers. It also won't become a large projectile if it breaks like the ball or hitch would if it breaks. There are better options than the pin if you have dedicated recovery gear, but how many people really have that all the time. Everyone who has a hitch has the pin, and using the pin is going to be much safer than using the hitch or ball. Even if the pin breaks it weighs like 6 oz, and is not in a direct path with the strap. A ball or in this case the hitch weighs alot more and is in a direct line with the direction of pull. The ball is also in a single shear configuration which isn't good.

You don't use the hitch. You pull the hitch out and put the loop of the strap in the tube and secure the hitch pin thru the loop. Then you out a heavy jacket, blanket, or something if possible on the strap or winch line.

They have a free dump station out back too for.your RV. Normally it is only open during business hours I think though.

Home warranties are a scam. They will send the worst contractors out to bandaid whatever needs to be done to get you by.

Does anyone have any experience with the Optika 6 lineup? I am looking at the 3x18x50 model. I am looking to replace a Vortex HSLR 6X24x50. It is to much scope for the rifle it is on.

Hi All, My friends and I just drew unit 29 in the leftover draw. I have hunted here in the past but it has been probably 15 years. It is actually the area I drew as my first ever deer hunt back in the day. Back then my Dad and I hunted pretty high up near some of the peaks in the Chiricahua's. Is the action better down lower in the mountains or is up high still pretty viable? Any pointers or insite would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Harley

Great pack. I have the same one and love it. I used mine to haul out alot of heavy packs of elk last year and the pack was a champ. 1 load was over 100lbs easy and the pack performed well. Great price too.

Sportsmans north Phoenix and Bruno's have them in stock.

I have been using Seekins lately.

At least right now R22 has a viable drop in replacement that is about the same price as R410a. That said. 5 years ago or less R410a was $70/jug. Today it is $430/jug.

Comfort Experts is the one I recommend in the east valley. Tell them Harley from Steven's referred you if you call them. You are in a catch 22 situation though. Systems are going to go up 10-20% in the next 2-4 months because of the new 2023 higher efficiency requirements. The bad news is if you replace your system now, in 2025 they are changing refrigerants and R410a is going to be harder to get and more expensive as the years go on. I am in the AC wholesale business so I see alot of fun coming over the next few years that the regular joe doesn't see or know about.

Leupold helped me out with a redfield revolution scope on one of my rifles. My buddy dropped it too and dented the end of the scope at the objective lens. I sent it in and they repaired it no charge. That scope is now on a rifle I just put together for my son.

How long and how tall is this? I have an older toyhauler and length sometimes is an issue. For reference it won't fit a 4 seat RZR 1000, but a 900 will.

I just ordered a rifle for my son in 7mm-08. It is a ruger american with 1:8.5 Twist. Who is shooting it and what bullets are you favoring? What powders seem to work best? Thanks Harley
