You might also try picking up some practice broadheads (or even tips) of 85, 100, and 125 gr. and see which weight groups better. Save you from all that pin adjusting, until you really get ready to dial in.

Sounds like they are having a rough time with COVID. Sorry to hear. I was through there a couple weeks ago and it looked like they had checkpoints at intersections to screen for locals vs. NR. It will be a struggle until a vaccine is available. Hope they can sort things out. It has been a real blow to the Navajos.

Nice. That water storage tank on the hill would be tempting (just kiddin). Good shooting right there, and good luck to you guys!

Dialed in is right. Where is that range located?

Never, ever live anyplace you have to haul water.

I will take them. PM sent.

+1 on Rocket Steelheads, at least the old ones. I printed a long article on penetration testing (independent, not a rep. or mfg.) from a few years ago, and these were rated the best of both fixed and mechanicals - at least for that round of testing. No experience with them on bigger animals, but hopefully anyone who has used them on elk will weigh in and tell us how they performed.

What's the difference between the LEO/Govt stamped mags and civilian mags of the same cap.

Hanwag Alaska GTX w/ custom footbed from Lathop & Sons Boot Co. Will cost plenty. Plan on Dahlgren socks, or any similar premium sock. Only 1 pr. needed with these boots. forepaw

Any reason the Hornady modified case won't serve? Just curious.

PM sent on the Pentax.

Didn't know you had a LH Athens. Which one? Dang. Musta missed that.

Unreal. $1200 for glass of this quality.

Sent you a PM.

Pretty neat right there, thanks for posting! Looks like an artifact right out of the post - WWII building boom.

Memorial to Tom Mix? 15 - 18 miles south of Florence?

Back in the late '70s Ruger chambered that same gun for 9mm. It was called the Speed Six, and the adjustable sight version was the Security Six. I think the 9mm was in Speed Six only. It didn't use full or 1/2 moon clips as I recall, it headspaced on the case mouth. I really wanted one, unfortunately, I delayed and screwed around and I think most of them got shipped to Israel. Anyway they disappeared from the shelves and dealer displays, and I don't think I have seen one since.

These are very good revolvers. They are built like a bank vault and will provide a lifetime of service. They also lend themselves to disassembly and smoothing of the action by just about anyone with decent mechanical ability. Try that with a S&W or Colt.

You're close. The Western auto was about 2 or 3 doors to the east. It was turned into a bar I believe. I recall shooting pool there a few times.

I remember that store. They had some neat stuff, and the owner or manager at the time, would dicker to get you out the door with something at a decent price. I bought my wife a Rem. 870 20 ga. there. She still has it. (She wasn't my wife at the time). Came close to buying a Mont. Wards - labeled mauser in '06, believe it was a model 51 or 53. 4x steel-tube Weaver w/post reticle. Pretty good stock and trigger. There was a Holubar store in the same little strip mall. Good backcountry gear, much of it made it the U.S. Remember Smitty's on Baseline and Rural? Bought my dad a 10-22 and scope there. Also got myself a set of .270 dies with birthday money. When us kids would get together on our deer hunts, you would see Santa Barbara mausers, Lee Enfields, Rem. M 722s, Springfields - all faded from the scene nowadays. Another lifetime I guess, at least if feels like it.
