Gruiz he was killed just north of marquetta tank.

I don't have any pics. I can go shoot another group tomorrow when the wind dies down and I'll post it. I have only shot the factory Remington core lokt ammo that I got with the gun. I believe 1 in 12 on the twist but let me confirm.

Ttt Price drop $1600 OBO or $1400 for rifle and scope.

It's all good. You didn't open a can of worms. Just found it funny the Scott brothers are so into themselves to claim someone overjudged a ram just because it's not a 170 incher. Even better when they misjudged curlys score by 12-15 inches. As for what I said about curly you're right a hunter couldn't have killed a better ram. Its just the circumstances of how he was killed after 5 years of them not being able to kill him. Then not let the regular guided hunter kill him because they made some deal with a rich dude to fly in and shoot it. Then they let themselves think they're special when he's finally dead. But in regards to the past tag holders helping we would have been very grateful for the help but didn't have the first clue on how to get ahold of past hunters. We even asked the game manager from the unit and were told oh don't worry you'll have a lot of those guys contacting you. Guess we never really thought about it after that and we made the decision we were doing it on our own. But we will be at the banquet with my brothers sheep next year so I'll make sure to contact you and we can all meet and introduce ourselves. Thanks again.

Is that why your hunter shot a 164 ram last year in the same unit and the other hunter had to shoot curly off the right-a-way fence on I10 before he fell over and died of old age? This ram wasn't over judged or under judged. His only goal was to shoot a ram that he liked and that's what he did. The ram with him scored more than he did but didn't have that long curl which my brother preferred over the more massive shorter horned ram. We estimated the ram to be high 150's possibly 160 tops and when we killed him the taxidermist scored him at 155". Game and fish scored him 152" gross. Net score is stupid on any animal. We knew his left horn was shorter than his right but didn't account for his last left mass measurement to be nearly three inches smaller than his right. Give him three inches there on mass and he's right where we estimated him to be. Matching horns he's over 160 inches easy. No different than if I shot a 360 bull that had a broken fourth that scored 340. In my eyes that bull scores 360. Were there bigger rams in the unit? Absolutely, we were watching one with this ram. Could we have hunted another week or two and possibly found an even bigger one? Absolutely. Did we kill a 9 year old ram were perfectly happy with and don't care if he's Boone and Crockett? Absolutely. I've shot 370 bulls in units that the same year and years past had 400 bulls in it. Was my hunt a waste? Maybe if only 400 inch bulls make someone happy. Believe me I like killing big animals as much as the next guy but killing the biggest animal in the unit every hunt isn't the only requirement for a hunt to be fun or successful. I understand when guiding for sheep is what you do for a living so maybe a 155 ram doesn't get you excited. But for some guys from northern AZ that are just happy to be out there doing it for first time and possibly only time in our lives I would have been doing backflips if he shot a 130 ram.

Finally catching on. About time.

There are two lovesac stores in the valley. One in Scottsdale and one in Chandler. Don't know if those are more expensive or not though.

Guess a guys got to produce documentary-style BBC Planet Earth quality footage of the chase before he can be believed... Absolutely. I'll take nothing less.

Guess I missed the part where they chased the herd? Elk looked pretty calm to me. What I do know is you could have went 8 for 8!

I would bet regs are out this week. I saw online anyone doing paper apps the deadline is going to be January 30th and online deadline Feb 13th. Just a heads up for the paper app guys. Good news it should speed up the draw process.

We actually scouted for this buck on my brothers tag this year but could never find him. Must have been hiding out in someone's backyard. We have pics of him from last year about a mile onto the forest but not this year.

24 inch barrel. I've only shot the core lokt through it since I have so much of it. Figure if it can shoot the older ammo sub moa it could be even better with the newer bullets or handloads.

Same buck I think. Near Tonto?

Price drop $1700 OBO

Single ladies that want to learn to shoot. You single guys better offer to help out. Trophyhunter it's your chance man.

I've never used the meoptas so I can't give a comparison there. Probably a comparison online somewhere.

Also anyone interested shoot me an offer as I had a hard time figuring out exactly what the value would be on the gun itself right now. Saw some selling for $1100 and some for $1600 so just went with $1400 for the rifle itself. If I'm too high let me know.

Yes I believe McMillan made the stocks on these earlier 90s models. I think today's models stocks are just made by Remington.

give me about a week or so and let me see if anyone wants the whole thing then I will probably start parting it out.

You forgot the part where all of these are 20-25% less than sportsmans prices not exactly the same price as sportsmans good try though.

Pics

Left side

Left horn is about 6 inches shorter and he rubbed the crap out the end of it on something. Hurt his last mass measurement pretty bad. Almost 3 inches smaller mass measurement than his right. Pic is struggling to load I'll post it in a second

Who's gonna buy the same thing from you for the same price they can buy it at sportsmans?
