Plus 1 for the North American Cheetah or Leopard. Whatever you want to call it. I'd grow hundreds and release them by in major cities.

I handled this rifle at PWS last Friday. It’s pretty awesome.

That's awesome! Please tell me that you took some photos of the rifle and that you also got to shoot it! What do you think of the clone build aspect? Did we hit all of the large and small details on this build (100% USMC specs)? Did you shoot the rifle, or see it being shot? If so, what were the groups like? Sub-MOA? Is there anything else that you can tell us about this rifle from your first-hand experience with it?

Sorry for the questions, but you're probably the only person here who's been in physical contact with this actual rifle. I haven't seen the completed build in person!

Rogan is an elk hunter and pointed out how stupid the Yellowstone wolves are, and how they're reeking havoc with the ranchers. Ben Lamm agreed, but everything is a tradeoff in the garden, and it's all a garden now.

Honestly, I thought dire wolves were bigger than twice a gray wolf, not 25% bigger. They're heavier and slower than gray wolves, and it may be that there is nothing for them to eat, because they're designed to catch Pleistocene mega fauna, and not the tiny (by comparison) and faster modern ungulates. They honestly don't know, as the DWs aren't old enough to hunt yet, and they're just introducing whole carcass. Appearently the 2,000+ acre preserve where they're being kept is set up like a laboratory, and they are documenting everything.

Seriously, listen to the interview before commenting based of lying media. It is illuminating. They did not approach this like Jurassic Park. They are not making money off their creations. They don't have to. There are more investors and more money than they know what to do with. These aren't the bad guys. The bad guys will try to steal this, but this is inevitable IMO. Exploring and figuring shit out is what we're hard wired to do. It's our only survival characteristic, and it won't be stopped. It's how we go about that which is and should be open to debate.

I fill the saw with gas when I leave and don’t take any more with me. When that saw is out of gas, I’m done cutting.

This is the Bear Pit... Chances are that it is even closer than that here.

I believe that the claim of a Dire Wolf carcass was made by someone at the University of Utah after DNA testing and teeth comparison testing when compared with Dire Wolf fossilized remains. Don't know if its true, but the possibility of being still around is possible. Friends up in the Kiamichi mountains in SE Oklahoma say that they have them up there.

While I am where you are mentioning, I will say that most of the locals here do believe in the existence of wolves still. But this is 'bigfoot country' too...so there's that.

I will say that I have spent thousands of hours at night out in area, killing various things. I have yet to come across a wolf (or hear one), but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. I do have [1] single trail camera photo on my ranch of a "coyote" that would have appeared to be a solid 100lbs. Since it was at 3AM and the photo is black and white, I can't confirm if it was just a big dog of a shepherd/husky origin or not. It just looked exactly like a coyote, but was 3x the size.

We do have a few mountain lions out here, and even a few elk. Chances of running across one are extremely slight though and I've only heard and seen one single elk in the last 7 years.

Haven't watched the podcast above. If people want to privately fund that kind of research, I'm not one to bash them. It isn't for me though. And if someone ever gets the great idea that we need to re-release something like that into the wild...then I have a problem.

How many rds down the barrel?

It’s yours. Send me shipping info.




Only four reamers left. Thanks everyone.
I’ll probably need to do this again in a year or two. I didn’t realize how many reamers I’ve bought in the last 15 years… and how many I got asked to buy then never used
Reamers are $300-400 now if you use carbide, which I do mostly, and damned if I don’t have 200 reamers.
(15 years ago)”Ya we should be able to open a rifle building shop for $50k”…. $100k in just tooling later and still buying more all the time lol.

Already in for 3.

Or change the barrel

Man I need that sythe ti cert! Will try to convince wife and send pm lol

You watch programs like this and can tell where the issues with the US lie. It is as plain as day.

Glad to hear all is good..the 10-60 is very nice glass.
I ended up transitioning from the 10-60,s to the 5-45 ( have 3 now) ...couldn't be happier with their performance..

Click to expand...

You’re making me think of looking at the ZCO 8-40. Have 2 5-45’s and was looking at the 10-60..

Now I have to start my OCD all over again

I would say 85% of the time it will be for plinking, the rest would be keeping the turtles thinned out , in my pond and squirrels out of my deer feeder, which can be done off of my back porch.

I like the t1 ace, but I have zero time behind an actual chassis, im afraid I wouldn't like one, i have had a couple manners and McMillan on some of my rifles over the years, never any chassis. I would like to shoot a few chassis to see how they feel.

I may go 20", i plan on shooting suppressed most of the time is why I was looking at 16's. But just plinking, 20 is fine .

I'm not a huge chassis guy either, I like the Ace chassis for what it is and it's functionality but would choose a stock/stock like chassis given the choice.

It's hard to go wrong starting with the standard MTR model and adding a chassis as you go.
The Bravo is pretty inexpensive, could then try out some other chassis and upgrade in the future.
The standard stock isn't bad but you really need to add a cheek riser and a full length but pad, buying a take of T3x CTR stock should be easy enough and cheap from the PX here.

Has anyone put one in a Accuracy international at-x chassis yet?

I think @D_TROS has been using Kelbly's in the field for a while, he can likely comment on them...

You mentioned shooting factory 230gr Norma with good results. Try shooting the Norma factory load at distance to see where it falls apart.

Theory is great but real world results speak with full authority.
