Lets try $175

My first big game rifle was a Brazilian mauser in 8X57. In the late 70s, my father purchased the barreled action from a local gunshop in for $20. He had the bolt sporterized, the action drilled and tapped, and put it in a utility grade stock from Fajens. Topped with a 3-9 bushnell sportview, I killed my first two big game animals with it. The first rifle that I ever purchased was a Winchester 70 XTR chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. I bought it used out of the local classifieds (not only am I old enough to remember newspapers, but I can remember when they had a firearms section in the classifieds!) Anyway, I got the rifle, with a harris bipod, leupold 2.5-8, sling, 2 boxes of ammo for $400. Not bad for a college kid on a budget. Side note: I still have both rifles (or actions anyway) the mauser has had the bolt face opened up and has been rebarreled to .257 wby, and the model 70 spent a few years as a .257 until I shot the barrel out. Now, I am going to build a 7mm of some sort on it for my son.

Congrats on both of those tags. So, I'm due for antelope in 4 years? (22 points currently)

I IRIC, 1st choice: 7w, 2nd choice: 4a. Best of luck to you. Youth hunts are a blast!

Nothing for me, but a $100 charge tells me that my kids drew their youth elk tags! I am elated!

What a horrible tragedy if what she is telling you is true. That being said, I'd be very leery of any conversations with the family of the deceased in fear of some kind of future litigation. You weren't a friend of this kid. you didn't know him. If he hung himself with a rope, would she go to Ace hardware and try to strike a conversation with the fellow that sold him the rope? Maybe I sound heartless, but If I were you, I wouldn't meet her.

I'll take both.

Great tent! These are a breeze to set up and are very durable. I wish I had gotten the vestibule for mine. Olmos, send me a message if you think you'd be willing to sell the vestibule separate from the tent.

I've posted under this handle for 20 years now in this and other forums. I can't remember why I chose it.....

I have a Smith and Wesson 1500 chambered in 30-06 that I would like to sell. It started out as a barreled action bought here last spring. It was rough on the exterior, but borescoping showed that it had not been shot much as all. I blasted the metal and applied Coyote tan Cerakote to all metal surfaces minus the scope rings. I also purchased a new take off black synthetic Weatherby Vanguard stock for the rifle. Bases are weavers and the rings are generic. Scope is a 3-9x40 Leupold VX-2 with CDS elevation turret. (Duplex reticle) I have only fired 9 rounds through the rifle. Took it to the range this morning with a couple of odd loads from my stash. Three to get to zero at 100 and these two groups. 150 Gr remington factory stuff shot just over an inch and some 180 gr handloads shot at just under an inch. Not great, but not bad. I just wanted to make sure the rifle wasn't spraying bullets all over the place. I am sure with some handloading and tinkering for this rifle it should shoot even better. $300 for the rifle minus scope or $500 with scope. FTF in the Tucson area would be nice, but if you really want it, we can discuss shipping. Also, if you really want the stock to match the metal, i would be happy to Cerakote it as well.

Trade pending
