Thanks Guys,
I have had this build for over a year and everything is in boxes, It is a 260 Rem Ackley Imp.40 degree shoulder. Here is my plans, on a good day I plan to go to the range and work up the best load the rifle likes! I have hopes to shoot out to 1000yards, BUT I had been out of the game since 1990 or close to that, back prior to 1990 I hunted as much as I could! I allways thought I was a fair shot,and I seemed to shoot the best group's of my group of shooters, I was the best I could be, practiced a lot back in the good Old Days ($4.50 lb powder ect.) mainly shooting 400yds out to 600yds,not a lot of 600 yd shooting, back then hunting was priority to any thing! I loved the Ruger # 1B's,243,270,30-06. I didn' shoot the 270 much just because I allways shot the 243, so after owning the 270 for 4 years give or take a month or 2!it went by by. I got to do something that those that made what I made (around $1500.00 gross a month)never would of had the chance to do! My best friend made a lot of money, had been to Africa 3 times and Alasaka 2 times, so I am sure you guys get what I mean. One day in the 80's been a long time ago, I could dig up my tags that I didn't fill, I have no clue where they are, but back to the hunt, my best friend and I was out shooting a round of Golf when about the thrid hole, he ask me if I wanted to go to B.C. to hunt Moose, Caribou, mountain goat, and black bear, my friend had a Grizzly bear tag he didn't fill ($1000.00 down the drian)He killed his Mosse on the first day and I shot mine on the 5th day, BUT Mine was Bigger!!! Seen one Caribou a couple thousand yards away crossing a lake, and I never got close enough to a Mountain Goat, wished I had never started to smoking, I killed a 6ft black bear, and hunted Wolfs over bait and never got a shot! After my friend ask me to go, I told him that I didn't have that much money, ad he said it was CHEAP allmost to cheap $2500.00 plus air fare and tags. He said he had just got his monthly Safairy Internationl mag. he had seen that ad?? He ask me if I could dig up the money and I told him I could sell some guns and get the money! He said lets go to the house and he would call some of his big time hunting buddies (Super Rich) any way the first person he called to see if they had heard of this Outfitter, his friend told him that he was the guide for that Big Blonde life size Grizzly that was in his game room, well Rick called some more friends and got nothing but praise about this guide??
Rick said lets call him and see what the deal was,Rick called Eddie Barrnet and ask him why the hunts that were in the mag. ad were so cheap, Eddie and his son started a Logging Co.back 4 years ago that allmost put them under (Eddie was smart enough to keep his land permits) and that he had to book every slot he had and we were the last 2, and we were NOT mention what we paid for our hunt to any of the other Hunters. So I went and started selling my guns, I had quite shooting Skeet and still had my Browning 4 barrel set, so selling it and a few more I had the money!
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to tell you guys about my hunt, I am sure glad I went on that hurt when I had the chance, because I don't think me and my wheel chair would of had any luck. I shoot by my self, never going to shoot any where else, I shoot to keep myself going.Yes I want a Night Force 5.5-25x55, and who knows, i might when the lottery,Ha Ha
