I have never personal held an RIA but with it at $600 and the new Ruger at $750, the RIA is out of the running. American made in AZ with presumably better parts, steel, and hopefully workers makes the a Ruger a no brainer of a choice as the minimum gun to consider. The kimber is about $980 for the cheaper option. I know that option is a very good choice too based on my past experience. I am not afraid to scratch a $1000 pistol if I know it is my hunting pistol. I will try not too, but stuff happens in the woods sometimes. I have a $20k truck with AZ pinstripe. Harley

I wish sig had 1 also. I have 2 different friends with Sr1911 in 45acp and they are nice. dang good gun for the price.

I wish I had a swift. Someday maybe. Good luck with the sale. That is a great deal.

I have learned and shot 1911 style pistols my whole life. Trying to point a glock isn't natural to me. I dont hate glocks, bt I can't point them so I don't own them. I actually went down to buy a glock 19 for a carry pistol at one point, but my buddy at the gun shop talked me out of it. I knew he was right, but I like the reliability of the glock. I left with a Sig P250. I was very happy with my choice. I now shoot a Sig 2022 as my carry gun and my Kimber .38 super is my hunting sidearm. My dad and I both own Kimber's and love them, but the extra $300-400 for the kimber over the Ruger has me leaning towards the Ruger.

I have my 2 sons in montessori school and we do the tax credit donation to their school. It is a great way to help put your state tax dollars to work where you want them instead of where some politicians decide.

I love the 6.5x55. I have a sporterized mauser that shoots really well, and I am probably going to get a CZ in 6.5x55 soon too.

Dang, I almost need 1 just because they are so cheap.

If you need some to try and are over my way, I can spare some for you to try.

I have only dealt with a few elk in person so far. All cows, all late hunts. The first was when I was 16 or so. We shot it late one afternoon. A nasty storm was moving in so we gutted it right away, but didn't have time to get it skinned. It was well below freezing that night. We got it to the processor about 16 hours from TOD. Some of the meat nearest the skin had already started to go. We didn't have a lot of waste, but we still lost some. 2 years ago we got 2 cows on opening evening in separate areas. We got them both back to camp and gutted and skinned before midnight. Mine was in the back of my truck in a clean tarp on a cold windy night. I took mine into the processor first thing the following morning and it was frozen. We had no meat waste and the meat tastes fantastic. My buddy halved his and hung it in the shade for the rest of the hunt. It was well below freezing even during the daytime for most of the hunt. The last couple days though it started to get above freezing during the day and his elk would thaw a little during the daytime and refreeze at night. He didn't lose any meat, but his does have a little funky flavor. He finally admitted recently that if he had a do over he would have had me take it to the processor with mine. He has the hunt again this year so we will see if he gets and elk and what he does with it... For me the answer is clear. Guts out, skin off ASAP. Get it frozen/cold and keep it that way.

that is pretty hardcore. Over 2 miles is a crazy shot.

Randalls will do it on the westside for $25 I think.

I don't know the specifics of this job, but there is alot of money to be made in HVAC, especially in this town. Get in early, get experience and move up quickly.

It was still burning yesterday as I came down the 89.The signs said to avoid the 180, but didn't call it closed.

I dont go to Ben avery anymore because of the reasons above. I have been a member at phoenix rod and gun for 3 years now, and not that it is 100% perfect, but is WAY better than Ben Avery. I drive an extra 15 minutes each way to get to PRGC. Worth every second.

They are probably .5 moa in my 300 win mag. I grabbed them by accident too. I ment to grab 212 eld-x and didnt pay close enough attention. They worked so I am running them. I have not started really trying to dial them in too. That was one of the first test loads I loaded.

Avondale sportsman's has them in stock all the time. I just bought 200 at Randalls a couple weeks ago. They usually are not to hard to find. If you are in a pinch I can spare 100 but I am on the westside.

Congratulations lance

I have only ever seen one in the wild out near table mesa road. It was a pink and black one and was pretty cool.

Wayne is a customer of mine and a very good guy.

Me too.

I have quit jobs for better jobs, and lost jobs that I really liked. I have never been fired, or not given notice. Do what you think is right for you. I have quit jobs I hate to take less money, and been much happier in the end. Life is too short to hate your job. I am starting to dislike the position I am in right now, and if things don't change it may come down to a change. I never fault a man for changing jobs if they are trying to take an opportunity that is better for them and their family. Chasing money only, isn't an opportunity though, it has to be more than that.

I am sad that this happened, and wish the best for the people involved. I find it odd that people now are more concerned with getting video than calling 911...

I am in. I am putting up a hail Mary this year. I have decided to start putting in for good hunts only now that I have 4 bp. Not strip good, but not easy draw hunts either. That hasn't worked out for the last 4 years so it is time to put in for a more premium hunt.

I think Rotts and Dobies are probably my 2 favorite breeds. We have a rottie that we think might be part Dobie because of his height, and leaner build than most Rotts. He is one of the best dogs I have ever had. He is the sweetest dog I have had for sure. People are scared of him because of his breed and size, but if you know him you know he is the farthest thing from scary. Friends of my parents had both a rottweiler and a Dobie when I was a kid. Both were great dogs. The Dobie was more serious and the rottie was just a big happy idiot. My rottweiler acts like a big dumb idiot too, but he is actually one of the smartest dogs I have had. He just doesn't act like it all the time.

6.5x55 is my vote. It is an underrated old.school round that will get it done, and has for over 100 years. It is already in the correct action with mods, seems like a no Brainer to me.
