Up for grabs is 147 pcs of .308 brass and 14 pcs of .375H&H brass. I only shoot factory ammo so these are various brands of brass. It is all once fired. Whoever wants this will get it all.

Anyone need some radios for using around deer camp?

Ive got a pair of Midland Xtra Talk, 22 channel FRS radios. Fully functional, they run on AA batteries. I just upgraded to 5 watt GMRS radios (yes, I got the license )... so these dont see any use anymore at my camp..

 

[DaddyFlip]

Here's a Leupold 1-inch set in silver that came with a used scope I bought. The base screw spacing is 0.86-inch front and rear and they came on a Browning A-bolt long action 375 H&H. The rear base screws are in the base (should be visible).

I'm reupping these rings from Page 124 in case anyone wants who missed.

I would like to take the radios. What is their approximate range?

Shoot me a pm with and address and I’ll get them out to you right away..

Midland says range is up to 5 miles.. but that would be in optimum conditions with no obstructions, clear weather, etc…

About the best I’ve ever got out of them is about 2 miles straight line distance in the piney woods of east Texas… but that’s been plenty to keep in touch with the wife when I’m out screwing around on the property while she’s somewhere back at the lodge… or for communication between deer blinds, etc..

Where we were hunting 2 years ago cell coverage was terrible… these mostly served as emergency communications when we couldn’t get a signal on the phones… and we used them a few times on cross country drives when we were traveling in separate vehicles to let each other know when it was time to fuel/eat/pee etc…

In an urban environment you’d be lucky to get a mile of range… somewhere like a downtown setting 500 yards could be a stretch…

It really just depends on the amount of obstructions and how much line of sight you’ve got between the radiosz

What is the process for getting a license on the stronger radios? I would PM this but I think others might have the same query.

If all you want is a GMRS license you just pay your $35 to the FCC and fill out the application… nothing difficult at all…

The upside to GMRS is you can now operate at higher wattage and use much better quality radios.. the downside is depending on where you are some of the frequencies can be crowded (other people might be talking on your network)..

If you want a HAM license there is a pretty lengthy test involved.. but it’s not hard… and I’ve got a copy of the question and answer key I can share… with a HAM license your wattage and range are limitless (you can talk to people anywhere on the planet) and you’ve got an incredibly wide frequency range to use, so it’s easy to find a freq no one else is talking on… but, HAM is also regulated, there are protocols that must followed etc..

Why Do I Need a GMRS Radio License & How Do I Get It?

The FCC requires a GMRS license to regulate frequencies that are used by two-way radio devices. Read this blog and learn more about GMRS licensing process.

If anyone wants to go GMRS, Baofeng makes some really good (for the price) handhelds that are super affordable.. these are what I use.. they come with a longer range whip antenna, an ear piece, are dual band (FRS and GMRS) and are programmable to HAM frequencies if you ever decide to step into HAM.. they also come pre programmed with the NOAA weather frequency which is nice when you’re out in the woods trying to figure out what the hell is going on with a weather pattern..

I’ve talked at about 3 miles with them clearly (they’ve got more range then that.. I just haven’t had cause to try to talk further with them)… and I’m thinking about mounting a 20 watt unit in my Polaris and one in my truck and one on my boat… with a 20 watt GMRS if you have clean line of sight you could easily talk 18+ miles.. 10-15 miles is reasonable for rural non mountainous areas… you could probably get 8-10 miles in something like a suburban area or dense hilly terrain, etc…

A vehicle mount, 20 watt GMRS can be as cheap as $99… some more known brands like midland or Motorola might cost as much as $300… the one I’m thinking about requires no wiring.. you just plug it into the cigarette lighter…

cigarette lighter? Do they still have those?

 

[ftothfadd]

A few small things in return for my recent claims.
I would prefer to ship all to the same address.
-one set of each 1" and 1.25" sling swivels
-Vortex bikini scope cover
-magazine/bolt lock for travel to Canada (do not ask how I know it is needed)

My 2024 Tundra has one.. they just call it a "12v Plug in" now

My 2015 Polaris Ranger also has one..

You will want to subscribe to the new repeater/tower updates on this site https://mygmrs.com/ and have a list/map of where all the repeaters are and if they are open/closed/permission required etc. if you need long range capability. Also shows you how to get your license.

cigarette lighter? Do they still have those?

Surprisingly my 2023 Jeep Gladiator has a cigarette lighter slot....no lighter piece....but that's ok....I have spares from my 1996 Chevy Blazer and 2011 Ford Ranger. And I have single and dual USB chargers if I need to charge more than one phone at the same time.
