No special tags for me, general Deer and Elk here in Montana, daughters are waiting to hear on antelope still should know in a week or so. Try to get out for a few birds.

Ive used both, limbsaver is nice with their prefit options I have used on a few, but if its going to be a grind to fit I used the pachmayr.

Thoughts and prayers.

Best of luck, praying for moisture and no wind

My side hustle is leatherwork, not much of a hustle as I haven't had much time lately. I've done a couple misc projects for guys on here, belts and bags for friends and family. But the word has gotten out here at work and have been asked to do a few things. I need to push it a little more to use...

Looks good, that should drive some fast tacks!

I was really worried with our mild winter, luckily we ended up with more snow in April and May then we did in Jan/Feb. nothing has popped yet but it is only a matter of time, No snow to speak of left in the mountains and a week of breezy 90+ days dries things out quickly

We broke some records over the weekend getting over 100 here in Montana, but it is a dry heat! no fires here yet but getting some hazy smoke from CAN and MN they are saying. I wish humidity on no one at any temp over 80. Gained some elevation last night after dinner to relax and cool down and...

Looks like an amazing trip!

Besides the ones already mentioned, also look at Maven Optics https://mavenbuilt.com/ here is another site I look at that has some great closeout deals from time to time on optics (don't be afraid to ask for a better deal in their chat, it worked for me) https://www.sportoptics.com/

That is what I built my 264WM on with a 25" standard rem sporter contour , I wasn't going for the lightest I could build, but it is in the 8# range and could drop 4-5oz just replacing the SS bottom metal with Alum.

I guess my method would be considered spot and stock, but it is mostly taking a longish hike with a rifle and backpack and hoping if/when you "spot" something worth "stalking" that you are not already too far from the truck. Sometimes I get lucky 😁

Gil, I guess it depends on what you want to do with the rifle, you know the 700 has any aftermarket part you would ever need. I've only had 1 xbolt. But the Sako is my favorite, i like the butterly smooth bolt, the trigger, the safety, and flush detachable magazine.

Great looking setup, rest and all
