New from Montana!

[Skogen]

Evening,

New member from Central Montana. Work full time in finance and ranching in North Central Montana. I also run a home based FFL, I handle mostly Weatherby, Bergara, Athlon Optics and everything in between.

Grew up hunting deer and elk since i could walk. Have always been a massive fan of the belted weatherby cartridge. My biggest dilemma when i go hunt or shoot is which one! I usually grab a 6.5-300 wby, 270 wby or 300 wby. Took my 340 to Africa June 2017 and it performed flawlessly. Although my two favorites is my German Mark V .257 WBY or my Mark V custom with a target barrel .375 H&H.

I sell lots of Bergara and I cannot show up to their Montana shooting events with a Weatherby, so my newest toy is a Bergara HMR Pro 6MM Creedmoor topped with EGW 20moa base & rings. Optics is a Athlon Ares ETR 4.5x30x56. Should be a fun setup.


Thanks again!

Skogen

PS. I also cook quite a bit, so be ready for some food porn with great BBQ or some home raised USDA prime Montana beef!

The HMR pro is a great turn key gun. Have not shot this one yet as I am waiting on my Ares ETR to show up. About 10 more days. Just in time for a speed goat and the last hurrah on some prairie dogs.

Different Orville, the one I know is in his 30s. Anyway, I'm in Choteau.

 

[Skogen]

Ah, yea. From Helena. he is my cousin.

I own a 6.5 Creedmoor B-14 HMR and a .300 Win Mag Timber I bought when Bergara first started offering them so I know about the quality. Let me know how you like it once you shoot it.
