What kind of fish is that?

Light as in thin or light as in a light shade or color? Either way I would probably have to pass as I am using the scope hunting in low light and against a variety of backgrounds where it has to stand out as opposed to just paper and steel where it wouldn't be as big a deal.

My buddy has called in 5 fires from thunderstorms in the last 2 years. Minding his own business at his cabin, storm rolls in, lightning hits before the rain. Next day there will be a fire visible.

The thing is, plenty of them start and then get extinguished in the storm that follows. So it's hard to really track. We've watched a few trees burn from lightning, that were just smoldering and never spread the next day because it was followed with an inch or more of rain in the next 12 hours.

My first full Custom build for my first Elk hunt.
Built by Fritz at BlackCanyon Customs!

I've not had the opportunity to Elk hunt yet so I figured I'd have a gun built while I wait to get drawn. I drank the 7PRC Koolaid and went that route since I didn't have a 7 in my quiver.

I'm at around 12lbs wo/ optics. I took the hit on weight with the action.

Action: Terminus Zeus LA
Barrel: 24" Bartlein 400 ModBB CF 7PRC
Trigger: Triggertech Diamond 2stage
BM: Hawkins Hunter DBM
Stock: Manners LRH Swamp Camo
Brake: SRS 4Port Ti
Optics: TBD
Rings: GrayOps 36mm


I know this is heavier than what most would consider for a hunting rifle. I need an optic, any recommendations for it is more than welcome.
Hope Berger comes out with some factory loaded soon!

A guest on the annual hunting trip was an ER doc. His residency was in the south and the hospital was spending a fortune to replace lots of equipment. Fatties would flip exam tables when they sat down. They broke toilets as well.

The carbon footprint of those folks and their 15,000-25,000 daily calories consumption is wild and who is paying that food bill???

I remember those not working so well, but this one I recently bought is pretty good. Bottle and bicycle pump not included.

What I found amusing is that your drive-by assumed I'm someone I'm not, and assumed I have attitudes/POVs I do not hold. I guess that makes the put-down part easier to get off the ground.

What in my comment above made you think I'm Mr Something for Nothing? Or a whiner? I spent a few decades telling such people to pound sand when they whined about their somethings they wanted for nothing done of value.

If your body shop has a fire and inventory's burned and you don't carry a slush fund for emergencies, how quickly are you back up and running? Who funds the rebuild? Who buys the replacement inventory? Are your wholesalers going to put it on a tab? Or do they want money for the inventory you need to replace?
