No one is more grateful (well maybe the future husband) of that than I!!!

It is pretty cool, and just over the size of a quarter.

A nice member on here donated an old 3-9 scope that came free on a rifle he purchased a while back. Perfect for a little girl's first 22lr. So as to not hijack this thread, I'll past that story in a topic momentarily...

My wife has shot most of my rifles from the 22lrs up to the 300 RUM, 50 cal muzzle loader, and many in between. By far, her favorite is the Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor. It fits all of your boxes except the weight. It is a heavy rifle, but with the weight (and factory installed muzzle brake) you get little to no recoil. It really is a fun shooter and will definitely get well beyond 500 yards. Mine shoots under 1/2 MOA with my load using Hornady ELD-X bullets. The adjustable length and cheek weld on the stock is also a huge plus for smaller shooters. Sine I am always carrying the rifle for my wife and younger ids, the extra weight isn't a big deal. https://grabagun.com/ruger-precision-rfl-6-5crd-24-10rd.html I'll also give a shout for the previously mentioned Tikkas. Great rifles for a small price tag. But with the light weight, she will feel considerably more recoil. I have a Tikka in 7-08 that I put a brake on for my wife and kids. https://grabagun.com/tikka-t3x-lite-black-7mm-08-22-4-inch.html Also check out the Ruger Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't have one, but know lots of guys that swear by them. Tough to beat the performance in a $400 rifle. https://grabagun.com/ruger-american-6-5-cred-22-pred.html

First Lite also does tall sizes.

🤣🤣🤣

Also, download and listen to the Jay Scott Outdoors podcast episode 464 with Duwane Adams, a Coues hunting legend. They talk about your exact question.

Dave is as good of a resource as you will find and is a big wig with the AZ Deer Association. I would jump on his offer. You are also welcome to send me a PM. There are a lot of really good Coues units in the state. But a lot goes into a what is a good Coues unit for you. What some might find great, others might struggle in. Likewise a lot depends on your own ability to travel to certain areas, hike, shoot long distance, etc. Are you willing to hunt the Mexico border? Do you know what the significance of hunting the border is? These are all import questions. Like I said shoot me a message if you like and I will do my best to help you out.

The contact at Arizona Elk Society, Hunts for Heroes program is Tom Wagner. He is also a member on here. You can call him at the number below, and he can walk you through the transfer process. 480-760-3868

I wouldn't mind adding a few inches to my Slik. Who is the member that does this?

Took my Ranger tire down to Discount Tire on Saturday to have a small leak fixed. When I went to put it on I realized they reversed the tred direction. Is it worth the hassle to take it back? What are the draebacks?

No idea where this was shot, but could this be the bull in question? It was just posted today. I haven't seen many AZ bulls this season posted that could potentially break the 400 inch mark (maybe 2), but this one is certainly a candidate. It was a donated tag for Outdoor Experience 4 All Foundation, and the guide donated his time. Kudos to him! Pretty awesome for the young guy.

Saw some pictures of a monster the Koury team got yesterday.

I have four tickets to tonight's Dbacks game against the Rockies that I am not going to be able to use. Great seats on lower lever, straight up from 3rd base (section 129). I can transfer them to you electronically by emailing them to you. You will need to have or download the free MLB Ballpark app to pull them up them at the gate. Please don't take them unless you know you will use them. Thanks

All your Ammon, have a good time!

I am in need of some additional foam sheets for my hard Pelican type rifle case. As you can see in the picture below, I am currently using the type you have to cut yourself, which a hate (see my crappy cuts). I would like to have several sheets that are rifle specific, because once you cut one, it pretty much fits that rifle and that rifle only. I very much prefer the pluckable style sheets that you trace and pluck, as they come out much cleaner, but have been unable to find a reasonably priced place to order them locally. I finally found a place online that sells exactly what I want at a pretty reasonable price, but shipping is a bit of a killer. If I order enough I can bring the shipping price way down. I am hoping that I can find some others like myself that want to go in on an order. I am buying 55"x16"x2" sheets for $20 that can be plucked to fit any size case. But other sizes and thickness are available. If you are interested let me know. Pick up would be in the area of Queen Creek, Tempe, (ASU area), or somewhere in between. Thanks

Last call before I order.

I saw a lady on the news yesterday that was adamant the government pave the the roads up on the rim. Every village has and idiot. It sure is nice when they go on the news to let us know who they are.

Maybe you should start a new thread. We need details. Congrats!

"Lousy hunter"... "successful every once in a while" SMH! If this is true, I REALLY SUCK!

I ask myself all the time how these guys who hunt every day for weeks straight every year do it. Not that we all wouldn't love to do it. But with a traditional job, kids, family etc. I just can't see how I could do it. So I do lots of long 3-4 day long weekends, go back to work for a few days, and then hit it again for 3-4 days. Sometimes I will stretch it to a week, but those are rare and on exceptional hunts. I am fortunate to get about 4 weeks of paid vacation time per year (lots of tenure at my job). But I can't be selfish and take all that time for myself. Even though my kids and wife enjoy the outdoors with me and most of our vacations are to the mountains, we still have to do family reunions, occasions theme parks, historical stuff, etc.

Terrible accident. I can't imagine what would cause a person to be driving an ATV/UTV at high speeds along the Mogollon Rim. I believe they were on the 300 road. That is a nasty drop that gives me chills when driving my truck along it at NORMAL speeds (flashbacks from a accident I was in years ago). Slow down on those ATVs!!!

I'll bet that maid was thrilled when she walked into the bathroom behind you guys! 😳

Here he is done. Thanks Kyle and Brian. This one posed a couple of unique challeges, but he is super cool and we love the dark light contrast. Congratulations guys!

So tempted... Glad you are on the opposite side of the valley or it might be sold. Great starter boy and deal for some kid.
