The rifle ended up at 9lb 13oz as pictured minus the bipod. It has a good balance though so it should carry well, and be able to reach out and touch something when needed.

Today was the day Axisworks called and said it was time!!! Huge thank you to the team at Axisworks. Eric is a great dude and has a great team. I dropped in this afternoon and picked up the new and improved 257 Weatherby Mag. Time to dust off the reloading bench and start pumping out some ammo to do load development with.

Is the action and bore decent beside the missing parts? I can sometimes get to Mesa during the work week. What's your schedule?

Where are you at, I will take it if you are not in BFE and the action and bite are half decent.

He was on Rescue Me also. He was really good in OZ too.

If he doesn't take the bipod I live about 2 blocks from you it sounds like, and I will take it.

Location? Is the Harris bipod a swivel? Extending legs?

I was researching SRP vs lrp for my dads 260 Remington and I read a few places about SRP brass having ignition issues when super cold out. Since this rifle might see late season elk and deer hunts I went with LRP brass. I dont know how true it is, but it isn't worth missing an elk over.

The general rule of thumb for tonnage in houses in AZ is 400sqft/ton. That would put your loads at roughly 4.5 tons. Then add in you are farther north so you could likely get away with a 3-4 ton unit depending on layout and design. My house in Phoenix is 2100sqft with vaulted ceilings. We have a 5 ton package unit and it will keep our house at 74* or less all day if we choose.

Its an airflow restriction or a low on freon most likely as mentioned above. A 5 ton on 1800sqft in northern AZ is probably too large, but they problem that should cause is short cycling which means the unit cools the house so fast it turns off quickly which isn't good for them. Check the filters and return ducting. I would have a tech check the unit out and check the refrigerant charge. You may also need to up your motor speed to try and move more air to help mitigate the problem. Most newer systems have indoor fan motors with between 3 to 5 speeds. You just have to move a wire on the motor to get more airflow or less.

I have had it twice. Once was very forgettable, the other was sensational. I am willing to gamble some elk to try and hit sensational again.

When you get some pronghorn I will trade you for some elk if you want.

I have had a set of Crispi Nevada boots for a few years now and absolutely love them.

What were they hitting on bait wise?

I just put a battery doctor battery tender on my trailer. They discharge especially if I forget to hit the kill switch.

Yep, Dodge was the last one, but stopped in 2018. Now I can never own a truck newer than 2018... I searched for a long time to find my truck. I wanted the 5.9L with a stick and 4 real doors so I was stuck in 2003-early 2007. I may get a newer truck one day, but this truck is staying around for the long haul. May dad has a low mile 2006 with an auto and a gear vendors overdrive that makes it an 8 speed though that I may have to steal from him at some point...

Once you drop $7000 on the motor to un-f*ck it, they are great trucks... Kinda like the older Dodges with auto transmissions. Once you spend $5k on a good transmission they are bad butt. I drive a 2005 Dodge Cummins with a 6spd stick. Honestly the new trucks have better power, but I can see my motor, work on my motor, and not get all jammed up with emissions crap.

I wear 12-13e and I went with a 12.5 wide from Crispi and couldn't be happier. Call the dudes who rep Crispi and talk to them. I went to Ross Outdoors who is the only place in town that stocks Crispi that I know of, and they were very helpful. I tried on a 12 standard and it fit, but was snug on both length and width. I special ordered a 12.5W through them, and it was perfect. I doubt they stock 15s though so you may be better off talking to the US Reps. I believe that is Black Ovis.

Tried to resize in the wrong die that was to small?

If the Bergers shoot .5 why do you need to load ELDX? I don't have a ton of experience with the ELDX yet, but the 208gr ELDM shoot really well in my dads 300 win. I have heard that the ELDX can be a little more touchy to load then the march version, but I don't know if it is true. If I had a .5 moa berger load though, I would just shoot that. The ELDX and Berger act about the same on game from what I understand.

Factory Browning mags seem to be the best. Get used to stripping empty mags from the gun unless you remove the magazine disconnect. The 17rd mags that I think are South African that run well too, and give you something to grab onto when you go to strip them out. The 10rd mags can have a spring on the bottom to self extract. Get night sites if you plan to carry it. If you get high grips on the gun with a fat hand be ready for slide bite. I used to shoot a box stock hi power in local matches and they ran really well. I have beat guys with high end "stock" pistols. Dont let the above sound negative, I LOVED shooting that hi power. It was my favorite pistol for years. It really liked 115gr American Eagle ammo for practice and comps.

Well Phoenix Rod and Gun Club went full reject now too. They had been the 1 place that seemed like it hadn't over reacted to this. They had already removed a bunch of benches to shoot at to keep tables over 6 feet apart...ok...got it, no big deal. Today I get down there to shoot with my 5 year old and now they have decided that no more than 10 people can be on the entire public range at 1 time. There were a dozen people waiting in the parking lot to get in. We had to pack it up and head home. My 5 yr old was bummed, and I am a little frustrated.

I have several of these scopes, and they are a great bang for the buck option.

We have a 2015 Armada which has the titan drivetrain. It is nice, has good power, and does what we need. In town driving isn't great on gas, but it can get 18-20 highway. Toyota is known to make pretty good stuff too.

My poor kids have never played a video game newer than 1995. They are currently stuck playing a super Nintendo from when my wife was a kid. Mario, Donkey Kong, etc. They both got a "SupaBoy" for there birthdays that is basically a game boy that plays Super Nintendo games only.
