    Hunting & Fishing Arizona pigs

    I have not found much more than this: Game Management Unit 13B I estimate a 9-10 hour drive from Phoenix, so am looking for more information before trekking there.

    Hunting & Fishing Anyone getting TUNA of socal landings?

    Thanks for those reports. Good family fun PLUS delicious meat! Any word on albacore? Your mention of a big shark reminds me of one of the times we were halibut fishing near the inlet of Tomales Bay. We were in a rented 13 foot tin can when two huge dorsal fins sliced our way. Two huge shadows...

    Hunting & Fishing Arizona pigs

    Does anyone here have recent information about hunting feral pigs in Arizona. The Fish & Game website mentions a population in the NW portion of the state between Black Rock and Mud Mountains, but it is not clear is this is truly productive site. Any recent insights would be most welcome.

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    The extension having been checked already, what is your suggestion then?

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    The problem with your inference is that I "specified" no such thing. After the second bolt failure, the rifle's headspace (and feed ramp and barrel extension) was checked with <b>BOTH Les Baer AND Alexander Arms bolts</b> and was already within SAAMI specifications. Indeed that was initially...

    What part of "chambered 6.5 Grendel post-SAAMI" don't you understand?

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Both of our Les Baer bolts sheared the lug adjacent to the extractor WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS while shooting FACTORY ammunition (Wolf 120gn MPT). The rifle itself is barely 12 months old. Prior to the first bolt failure, we did shoot sub-maximal reloads, but the second bolt failed after less...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Did I touch a nerve? If you too read and remember more carefully, I <b>NEVER</b> said that our rifle has broken an Alexander Arms bolt, but that <b>OTHER</b> owners have reported broken Alexander Arms bolts. Unless the reports have been scrubbed, those reports are on the 65Grendel forum, a...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    If you read and remember more carefully, you will recall that our rifle's broken bolts were Les Baer bolts, however, in discussing this on the Grendel forum, OTHER users reported problems with broken Alexander Arms bolts, though broken Les Baer bolts were reported more frequently (as I stated...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    If you build or buy a 6.5 Grendel, I suggest that you buy a few extra bolts. In about 3,000 rds. of factory and sub maximal reloads (no pressure signs evident), we are on our 3rd. bolt. The first two bolts were Les Baer bolts. When I spoke with him, Les blamed the use of a suppressor, but the...

    Hunting & Fishing Anyone getting TUNA of socal landings?

    Having just returned from the worst yellowfin fishing conditions (unseasonably stormy and not many sardines) in our 20 years of fishing the East Cape of Baja, I too would be up for some good tuna conditions. In view of the generally poor catches, we consider ourselves lucky that we weren't...

    Any good advice/references for a family of first-timers to learn how to dress out pigs (shoats?) for meat?

    Leupold Mk4 spotter, H32 vs H36?

    As a matter of personal preference for LR/XLR, I find the thickened portions of the TMR (and many other) stadia, especially the stadia at 12 o'clock, far more obtrusive than the Horus grids.

    Leupold Mk4 spotter, H32 vs H36?

    I recently had conversations with two knowledgeable shooters on exactly this subject. The most significant difference is that the H36 grid sits higher relative to the optical axis than the H32. This means that, at higher power, less of the H32 grid is visible, but that also means less of the...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr Mount feedback thread with pictures.

    The Spuhr catalog recommends using rosin to increase friction in the Spuhr mounts for .300 Win Mag and up. My internet search found nothing relevant to the use of rosin with scope mounts. Perhaps you can offer some specifics regarding type, source, and correct use of rosin.

    I haven't seen any of the Bushnell 1-6.5 SFP BTR-2 scopes in the local shops, but plenty of Mark 6's.
