Some long forgotten glacier deposited several large granite boulders around our place. Our efforts at restoring our rapairian areas have generated quite a quail population. For some years this male has used the rock as his observation post when the chicks are out feeding.

Sounds like you’re set. Ring me up when you get back. We think we’ll be in Tucson around Thanksgiving. We’ll have you over for dinner you can regale us with stories from your safari.

I am soooooo envious.

Probably be almost as hot as Tucson, take shorts!

Had a client from NE Massachusetts who fished with me in Alaska for 17 or 18 years in row. Sent Catherine a gift from Trenton Maine because she let me go up to guide him all those years. I am a lucky man!!

Just saw this thread started two years ago. Wondering about reviews?

This could be timely. I went shooting Wednesday. Took four #1s and the Jarrett along with a lunch box. The only rifle that looked well balanced, scope and rifle was the 375 HH wearing a 1.5 x5 Leupold. The Vx3 hd 2-8 looks a little heavy on the 257 Roberts, not bad but still a lot of scope and...

Father in laws can be a PIA :) I generally start with .02 off the lands and work out from there. I have three rifles that like Ballistic tips between .02 and .05 off. Those same rifles like Accubonds between .065 and .100 off. Another rifle likes Accubonds .02 off and Barnes at .05 off. In your...

Welcome to the forum. There are a number of very squared away 25/06 guys here. I’m sure they’ll have better information than me. Don’t throw your Federal brass away, typically it’s good stuff. Off the top of my head; H1000 and a 117 wouldn’t be my first choice. With a 100 grain bullet I’d move...

I think too many people have borescopes and don’t clean their guns. I’m with Guy and JJS405 (sorry I don’t know your name) on this as well.

I have some on hand but haven’t fooled around with them much. My first effort wasn’t very successful so they’ve stayed on the shelf.

Thought we found a dandy. Turned out it was low mileage because it had been an insurance total loss. Apparently that does not need to be disclosed in Idaho.

Ugh, we just started the process. Something smaller, fuel efficient king of thing. We have a lot of Detroit iron around here but will consider any reasonable 2 to 5 year old, 30 plus mpg, low mileage. Catherine wants light colored leather interior. I hate buying cars. Glad your deal worked out...

Good tip that Willis die takes a lot of force.

Yep, most of the area around us.

Thanks guys I’m ordering a co ax today.

I’m contemplating picking up a new press. I’ve had my current press since high school, graduated in 74. I will keep the old one for range days so I can work on a load kind of thing while the rifle cools. That’s my argument at least. Looking at different presses the Co Ax is interesting. I know...

AK358 joined a conversation on Fotis’ 99 Savage. I happened to spot his post while still on my first cup at 0430. Welcome aboard, you’ll find we’re a quiet group, well mostly, with a lot of loading, hunting, shooting and actually quite a bit of Alaska background. Looking forward to your insights...

I think 165s are a great compromise between 150 and 180, I used them quite a bit for deer but used 180’s for elk. At some point in the late 70s it had become apparent I was pretty good at judging distance in the high desert area we hunted. The 150s flattened my trajectory enough to make them a...

Stay away from “The Great Alaskan Bush Hut”.
