There are shops that can make a new one, you will need to take that one off and take it to them.

Jicarilla mule deer hunt, never going to afford it but still a beautiful dream.

I have never heard of this before!

I wound up getting a Predator and scope through Healy, thanks!

I might come by tomorrow and look at that, thanks

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate it. I might be leaning towards the Predator now, we'll see what sales come up or what the classified gods reveal.

I was trying to see the difference in the two, 2" on the barrel is all I'm seeing. I will look at those a little more. Thanks

I have been looking at this rifle in a 6.5 Creedmoor. I am old school and have always had 270's but have an itch to try something new out for a bit. Do any of you have this rifle and have any opinions of it? Seems like a solid gun with good reviews. I know folks on here have a lot more experience and knowledge on rifles so I figured see what everyone thinks. I like the spiral fluted barrel even though I don't heat up barrels enough to matter I guess that is more looks. It has a muzzle brake which I like. I have had many Ruger pistols and like them a lot. But mostly Weatherby rifles. So any thoughts are welcome, thanks.

Big fat goose egg! That wind was rough and cold. Good time though and a couple super guys from here that were helping me out. Thanks!

I’m camped on 9366r w an old red f250 if anyone happens by, water had ice on it this morning so I think it’s cold enough! Good luck everyone and thanks for all the advice.

Sounds like there will be a few of us up there on this hunt. Good luck to all! Looks like the weather will be good for us.

Hey all I have this hunt coming up in 2 weeks and wanted some advice. Figuring out elk has never been my strength. I have made several trips into the unit, including this last weekend. The area I have been scouting in is the SE corner, off the 260 not far off the 87. I saw elk and sign each time, not a bunch but something each trip. This last weekend I saw zero new sign, zero elk. I know some weather blew in Sunday after I left could that be part of it? So do I stand my ground and start with the area I have been scouting, or could they have moved on and I need to start fresh down the road. I had this hunt many years ago and remember Stoneman Lake Road being overrun by people so I wasnt planning on being in that area. I will be solo and prefer to be away from the other 300+ camps that will be there. But I'm also pushing 60 and know better than to get further than I can get myself out of. If anyone has any thoughts they want to share, or have been up that way recently I'm all ears. PM me if you want. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I would say with all you went though you can call it whatever you want!

Solid choices. I'm probably in the minority because is still use the real black powder Goex FFG, just feel I get more out of it. And Hornady SST's 250gr have been good also.
