Heat

I'm kind of a tight wad but I like good stuff when I know I am getting my money's worth. I bought the Kowa 554 before my wife's Kaibab late hunt this past fall. No regrets whatsoever. I know I will have that on me from here out. The bigger ones, maybe not. Simply incredible at 2#.

Good glass right here!

This thread definitely got derailed. If TC hadn't shut down I probably would have gone that route. I can still find a TC Pro Hunter FX but with no factory support and now no parts availability, no way. I decided not to wait more than half a year for the Woodman or pay more than triple the cost of this one for a Knight. This CVA Optima V2 LR looks and feels great. Can't wait to shoot it!

I would get a new breech plug or some Triple7. The pellets will sit on a big gap with the 209 plug. No bueno!

Legendary!

Recently discovered the Woodman Arms Patriot. That one is in the mix now. Anybody on here have one of those?

Very nice, congrats to you guys!

I'm in, good luck!

We got a Franchi Affinity for our son when he was shooting trap and skeet. Ran like a champ and he shot a lot!

We like venison!

We gave one a ride to Yuma from the Kaibab. My wife peeled her first tag ever.

I read a review of the Knight that highlighted a few things about that gun that I was concerned with. First is stock fit and ergonomics. I would prefer the stock from the UL and the barrel from the Mountaineer. Also not real impressed with the utility of a bolt action for a primer. Seems overkill and makes the rifle unneccesarily longer and heavier. Seems like the break open makes more sense when loading and cleaning. Not sold yet. Need to handle one before I buy. I have handled the CVA. Felt VERY nice!

I didn't realize T/C is basically out of business. Thats not exactly comforting either. Knight is looking better and better!

You must hunt elsewhere. I thought only black or synthetic black powder was legal?

Tom is with AZ Elk Society - Heroes Rising Outdoors

I have a basic 12" model from Cabelas. Works fine for my occassional use. I keep it super clean and use good bags and have had zero issues.

Heck ya, nice buck!

Nice buck man, thanks for sharing!

Heck yes, way to make your dreams become a reality. One of the nicest dall rams I've ever seen, bar none! Thanks for sharing man.

The Guideline is 15-20% of the Class 3 and 4 rams.

He'll have rods and bait. Mind you not the best gear in the world but it'll do.

I've been out with Eduardo twice. He's cool.

Sorry Lance!

I think based on the avatar pic, "he" is a she. Makes no difference, just saying.
