That is a good deal on the remington even for just a donor action. If I hadn't bought something I wasn't planning on earlier today, I probably get this.

If you were going to start reloading for a 6.5x55 from scratch what bullets and power would you focus on? A CZ 550 FS just followed me home unexpectedly. http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-550-fs-6-5-x-55-adj-5-rd-fixed-mag/ This will be a medium range light hunting rifle. 400-600 yards on deer is my hope for this. Maybe out to 400 on elk. I really want to hold out for a unit 12 deer hunt soon so I thought maybe a Barnes 127gr LRX, and then possibly another load with a ELD-X, Scenar, Berger,etc? This is the components I know I will use: Lapua Brass Federal GM210's Thoughts or insite? Thanks Harley

I finally got off my dead arse today and started hiking again. I took my 4 year old up to Thunderbird hills and we did a couple miles on one of the mountains. He had a good time and I wasn't in quite as bad of shape as I thought. I still have alot to do though to get some lbs off and get in better shape. I did wear my badlands pack too to start getting used to it. If you see a fat guy with a badlands pack on and a 4 year old ahead of me, it is probably me. Does anyone have any other good hikes locally?

Randalls had 10mm brass in stock buy the pc. I think it was starline.

Those are standard velocity ballistics though. If you are running +p or +p+ you will be in a much closer comparison. I shoot winchester ranger sxt in 127gr that are 1250fps from a pistol barrel.

Hornady XTP or the Barnes all copper HP or something along those lines is what I would be after. Some of the hot load companies like Under wood or Buffalo bore should have a good load.

What was said above. It wouldn't be my first choice either, but if I didn't have a better options I would do it. Try and use a good round, and good shot placement. With a round that size you are just making your margin for error minimal.

Dang good deal. If I didn't already spend a bunch of $$$ on my 300 win mag I would be all over this.

9 lbs with the scope or bare? What kind of trades are you interested in? Are you going to be near Phoenix soon?

Why not build a rifle off the savage action on this rifle?

For whatever reason I can't seem to get drawn for a deer tag anymore, and have racked up 5BP's. . If you had 5BP's what would you do, and what kind of hunt should I realistically hold out for? I think trying to get drawn for 13's is probably a stretch, but what about other area's. What is something that is a prime hunt I might have a decent shot at with 5 BP's? I am now to the point I am going to hold out for a good hunt, and not waste my BP's on a normal hunt. I like coues hunting, but I think I am really more interested in a hunt with a good shot to bag a big muley if possible. Harley

I have been honestly thinking about trying to chase a desert buck too. I have seen a couple decent bucks near my dove hunting hole, and I know a lot of nice bucks are out there.

Where do I find the info on the draw this year to see how many BP's it took to get bonus pass this year in certain areas?

I am probably about to move into a new house and will be setting up my reloading station again. This time I want to do it right and make it nice. Last time it was just thrown together and hasn't been all that useful or great to work at. I will probably have about 4-5 feet of my 12' long workbench dedicated to reloading along with the wall behind it. Thoughts on shelving and layout would be appreciated. Pics would be awesome. Thanks Harley

Hi Guys, I figured I might drop this here to see if anyone has done this and had recommendations. I am about to move into a new house, and I want to outfit the garage with compressor air lines to various locations to have air ports available all over instead of dragging hoses all over the garage. It will be just a standard 2 car garage, so not a ton of sqft, but I want to get this installed before I move into the garage. Has anyone done this, does anyone have any good recommendations for kits or ideas on what a good product would be? I don't want to use PVC, and I don't really want to use copper unless I can't find something more user friendly and easier to install. I don't want to have to sweat all those dang fittings. Thanks Harley

I avoid Walmart at all costs for anything. I don't care if I have to pay more somewhere else.

Dumb. The guy committed the crime, ran from the cops, and died. Sucks to be him, but he made all the wrong choices. Lawsuits like this are one of the downfalls of this country.

And be ready to hike, that is some tough country. Get high and glass alot.

The south and west portion of the unit is probably your best bet this year. Most of the eastern side northern side burned a few weeks ago. I have hunted 20a alot and most of my known hunting areas are torched now. Good luck on your hunt. Maybe check near Desoto mine area.

I have been kicking around the idea of ditching satellite TV. I am moving soon I think and would just make the switch then. I have DirectTV right now, and it is fine, but I hate the bill. I already have netflix, but my main concerns are football and kids shows. I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old so having decent programming for them is nice. The only shows I care to watch are Shameless and Walking Dead. Thoughts? Is having a firestick or roku enough?

I wish. I have 2 small kids, 1 of which has never spent a night away from his mother let alone 3...

Just a word from learning from past experience. When I used the BBQ bottle conversion hose last year during javalina season we had an issue. Every time I would start the heater, the pilot would come on, and every time I would turn it to high heat it would die. Repeatedly. I knew the bottle was full of fuel, but it wouldn't light. It had air in the line, and wouldn't light. I left it run on pilot for about 5 minutes, and then kicked it to full heat and it finally cleared all the air from the lines and ran fan. That was nice because it was going to be a chilly night without the heater.

I don't know if 9 is like 7E, but in 7E which borders 9, the bulls are more often found in the middle to lower elevations that time of year. I have had the late cow hunt in 7e the past 2 years, and weather is a big deal. Pray for a cold winter, and a good monsoon IMO.

Hey, mine sells lularoe as well. Is she headed to th California convention thus week? Yes she is. She and her group of dealer friends are leaving Thursday I think.

20 moa rail for sure. I made that mistake on my long range rig. I only have enough MOA adjustment to get out to about 950 yards. I don't have a ton of experience, but I chose the Vortex Viper HSLR 6x24x50 FFP.
