I have a McMillan AV stock that was on a 280.
It would need to be rebeded and has one small chip in the tang area.
Stock is black and is an exact copy of the original AV stock.
I wood sell for 200 plus shipping

I wouls also like a LRAB in 25 cal in115 or 120 grain.
Also i would like the 200 grain bt in 338 reproduced.
Mostly i would like the nosler Patriot 6.5-284 and 280 Ai produced with 26 inch barrels.
I really want both calibers but dont think the 24 inch barrel take full advantage of the rounds...
Congrats on your elk hunt. You have had great success on your spike unit,to bad about the wolfs moving in. You have had a geat year and congats on your Calif. Big Horn. A hunt you will never forget.
Congratulations Todd on the sheep tag.
You will have a great hunt and sounds like you have a lot of help already. I will add to talk with the biologists in burns, they were great help when I had my tag in 2001.
At that time it was all Beatys unit.

The 7mm longrange accubond bullet looked very long and sleek.
I have shot the berger bullets and they have performed good so fare, but have a concern about the berger hollow point design and a close shot.
I have been thinking of thinning down the gun safe and one rifle for deer thru elk and the...
Stopped by the Shooters pro shop today to check out the nosler 48 long range package.
I asked about getting it in 7mm remington and was told just a minute.

As i looked it over he said you are probably the...
Checked draw results today
No Mule Deer tag
Drew second choice east Beulah elk tag
No Mt Goat tag
Drew Muzzle loader Gerber Reservoir antelope.
the strange thing is we drew this tag last year so we hit the 10%random draw.
The horns are going to be mounted on a plaqe and my son wants to have a engraved brass plate with a short take of the hunt. We will have a photo framed and placed beside the horns.
We saved the brass and it will be placed on the plaqe also.
My son moved back to Oregon from Idaho but didn't have time to establish residence.
I found out that I could sign my 9 year old grandson up for the mentore program.
He had only shot 22 rimfire before so we took him to the range to shot my Sako 243.
He could average 1 inch groups off the sandbags...
I have been shooting the 200 grain bt out of my other 338 and have had good luck with it.

The scope is a low end Bushnell and will be changed to...
