Well, season opens Nov. 1 and I am not ready. Being self employed is alot of things, but predictable it is not and I just finished a long stretch without days off and have not loaded since March. My wife and I finally moved into our own house again after selling in Oct./08 and renting until April of this year. So, things have been hectic and crazy.
I have managed to buy a couple nice guns over the past year, but also sold a couple good solid field proven rifles too.
For the past 4 months I have been very occupied with work and have not made it out to the range to speak of. This is very abnormal for me, as I usually go out shooting two or three times a month.
For this year I did not manage to go out to Grande Prarie for Elk and will only hunt WT deer locally. Gearwise, I ended up selling a 7mm STW a couple years ago to a guy that was getting his permit. It took him until december of last year to come get the rifle. In the meanwhile I figured out why it wouldn't shoot and ended up giving away a 1/2 MOA rifle.
This leaves me with a few options.
Norinco M14 in 308
700 SPS in 300 Ultra
Wby Vanguard 257
???
Tomorrow's range trip will tell. Hopefully, my lack of practice won't be too evident.
