  1. Is it really a truck if it doesn't have AZ pinstripe? Nice score. That truck will be plenty capable of getting deep in the woods.

    Another Old School Pig

    Nice, congrats on a nice pig with a cool rifle. The closest I have been to a javalina is about 10 feet, He walked right by and never knew I was there. I didn't have a pig tag though, only a deer tag.

    I will take it. I need one that does angles.

    300 win mag bullet options?

    I am working on 208gr ELD-M and 210gr Berger HVLD in my 300wm. So far the 208's have shot well. I have not shot many bergers yet in this rifle.

    Reloading question

    He should download to start, no matter the load. As long as the bullet type is similar with the same powder I would do it, and have done it a lot in the past. He just needs to start low and work up.
  6. I have not started loading for it yet but will at some point. I am saving my lapua cases for loading. I think the round is under rated too. For 300 and under on deer size game or smaller, I think it will perform well.
  7. Yep. A think a good buddy of mine is going to pick 1 up in 22 hornet. He loves my 7.62x39, and he loves 22 cal. I am considering 1 in .223 now after this one. My next cz though will a 550 in 6.5x55 with mannlicher stock. These CZ rifles are sweet.
  8. Just a quick update on this. I had a Redfield 3x9 scope sitting around so I decided last minute to take this little rifle javalina hunting. I took it out to the range and quickly sighted it in. I then put 10 rds of Hornady steel case loaded with 123gr SST bullets in about a 2" group. With a little practice and patience this rifle will easily do MOA or less. I carried it on my hunt and it was a dream. It is so light and handy it was amazing. If you are looking or thinking about 1 of these little CZ rifles you should do it. It is a small rifle but fits great. It was a nice change from the 12lb 300wm I carried during elk season. Not as much long range punch, but just as deadly within about 300 yards.
  9. A light weight 6.5 is what I would choose. You already have a good 7mm. Harley
  10. Don't overlook 6.5x55 or 6.5x55 AI if you are building a rifle in 6.5. They have done everything 6.5CM & 260 have for over 120 years.

    They blew up the old Trotter track out west of Phoenix in No Code of Conduct. I don't think I ever watched the movie, but I knew they did a big explosion scene there.

    wasn't one of the Dirty Harry movies filled in Phoenix, and up and down the 93 between here and Vegas?

    A funny thought...

    If you cut your finger while hunting bear, are you now bait? You have a sandwich in your pocket, is that bait?
  16. Pic of the smallest buck I have never taken is below. . . . . . . . . . . . . What do I win? Loser award is my guess.
  17. Lance, can you send me 2 targets next time please. My hunting buddy wants to get in on the action. Especially the 22LR one. He is a rimfire fanatic.

    Gunsmith/Tikka

    Weapons works used to be at 19th and glendale, but I think they have closed. Leadtime there usually sucked. They did some work for me way back and it was good.

    Where are you located? That makes a big difference in recommendation. Axisworks did mine. I am very happy with it. They are in tempe.
  20. Sportsman's avondale had a couple hells canyons in awhile back.

    Feral Pig Eradication

    They are going to reduce the population, but not get rid of it. There is no way they get rid of them without a long drawn out fight with lots of people on the ground and in the air. If they would just sell some tags for $20 each, or better yet just open the area to pig hunting only, they would make/save money and control the herd at the same time.

    Feds going hog wild stupid in Havasu

    Just let us shoot them... I would drive to Havasu to shoot some feral pigs.

    Hornady SST's

    My 6.5x55 does ok with them. Probably 1" groups or so, which is totally fine for me for an old sporterized battle rifle from 100 years ago.
