I'm north of Tucson, How about $900 plus shipping?

As far as trades, I'm looking for: Spotting scope higher power variable (16-24x on the top end) scope with MOA turrets LH 700 action (chambering, adl/bdl unimportant) Not sure i understand your challenge, SPOTnStalker. However if it has anything to do with my ability to fling arrows, I'll pass!

This is my daughter's first year hunting. She put the hours in to obtain her safety card. She has been to the range and out in the desert practicing her shooting skills. After not getting drawn for Jr. Elk or Jr. deer, we bought a leftover Javelina tag. For three days, we have spent a lot of time glassing, talking, napping in what has been perfect weather to be outdoors. This morning, we found a herd of pigs and were lucky enough to have a small boar stand broadside at about 80 yards for enough time for me to watch her pull up the rifle, comment that she couldn't see anything through the scope, realize that the cap was still on, flip it up, and fire. The pig turned around about four times and ran down into the wash, I told her that she had to have hit it, and that I was surprised that it didn't drop after spinning. We found blood at the bottom. followed for about 100 yards and found the pig in some catclaw. She was able to put the finishing shot on it. When I retrieved it for her, she was all smiles. In her words, it was the best day ever.... You know, I have to agree with her!

Thanks for the kind comments all.. The rifle started out as a stock remington 700. Rebarreled with an 18.5" model seven barrel chambered in .243. I cerakoted the barreled action prison pink and the bolt graphite black. After seeing that even the youth stocks were going to be too big for my daughter, I took a standard ADL wooden stock and hacked away. 11 inch LOP, shortened the forearm by 3 inches, slimmed the entire stock down. The standard pistol grip is designed for an adult sized hand, So I moved it forward with a healthy dose of bondo. The paint job is simply a rattle-can special. Pink recoil pad is made from a 99 cent pair of flip flops. She was recoil shy with factory ammo. So I loaded it with 70 gr Sierras and IMR 3031 for a very pleasant 2850 FPS load. Here's a better look.

If I buy the antlers, do I get the GPS coordinates to where they were found? Very cool find!

Dustin. Put those bullets with the powder. I'll pay you for them when we meet up to cerakote your rifle. JJ

I bought this for the scope that was on it. Previous owner claimed that the rifle has never been fired. After inspecting the action and bore, I believe him. Stock upgraded to an H&S Sendero style. 26" heavy barrel, leupold bases. Weighs 9 lb, 3 oz as pictured. $750

I think I have a trade in the works, pending response from a member here. If that falls through, yes, I'll consider trades.

Eeeew!

Spent the day in Safford yesterday. My daughter completed her hunter safety course with the field day and final exam. After some initial frustration on the shooting range with right handed .22 designed for a larger shooter, she overcame and did very well. I am so proud of her. I am also so grateful for the instructors who made the field day possible. They were fantastic. The patience and kindness displayed towards my daughter meant the world to her. Here she is with her certificate of completion and patch, and another shot of her with the 243 I built for her.

Dustin, The recoil pad is, indeed pink. Custom cut from a pair of 99 cent Wal-Mart flip flops!

I'll take the .243 brass

Well then... Welcome to mi barrio, Ese! Send me a PM if you want to swing by after work for a beverage and a few BS stories about hunting!

Meant to post this earlier, but for the last few weeks, I have been driving by a bluish silver sedan parked on Twin Lakes in Catalina. I'm assuming you operate the heavy equipment for the work being done on Hawser.

Niiiice. At four and a quarter, I'm thinking it won't be here very long!
