  1. Also - if I cAn firm down a release date I’ll make sure one of my dealers calls you first. As long as your good for it I’ll work to make it happen
  2. I’m at shot. I’ll talk to them and some of my dealers tomorrow. I’ll get the skinny on an actual release date and find a dealer that will get them first. Stay tuned, but PM me to remind me because my schedule is whack.
  3. Cans are 6 months right now. Plan for 5-8, but 6 is pretty average.
  4. I grew up in Dallas. Went to games. My aunt lived about a mile from us and her next door neighbor was Robert Newhouse - so we saw cowboys all the time and played with his kids (side note - Nancy Newhouse (his wife) died this week). I worked at rooster Andrew’s on south Lamar in the 90’s when the cowboys were at st Ed’s during the day and copper tank at night. I had cowboy shit everywhere. Fun times. Cowboys and Longhorns were my teams. Now just Longhorns.
  5. Seeing Jerry sad brings joy to my heart. Fuck that piece of shit. When he dies I’ll start rooting for the cowboys again.
  6. Your half brother is my kind of guy. I was in Minnesota a few weeks ago for 2 days - it was like 15 degrees and all I wore was a long sleeve shirt.
  7. Individualize it. Someone likes to hunt - book them a trip. Chick likes facials (ha) - book her a luxury spa day. We dont give a shit about plaques or commemorative cups. That’s for Aggy. We also dont all want to do something together for a job well done usually. I’d rather you give me a gift card to a nice restaurant than go hang out with Ralph and his bad breath at dinner. I don’t like Ralph. Individualize it.
  8. Agree all around.
  9. AR’s are indeed awesome.
  10. That’s high. Where are you?
  11. https://www.focuscamera.com/vortex-viper-pst-gen-ii-1-6x24-riflescope-vmr-2-mrad-reticle-w-vortex-30mm-cantilever-mount.html?utm_id=0G9x1C1bgxyPTGXUIp1lKzVXUkHx7zU3NxSuVU0&utm_source=Impact&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=10228&utm_content=ONLINE_TRACKING_LINK&irgwc=1&partner=Mrgunsngear.&mpid=1452324&group You’re welcome.
  12. Also look at primary arms lpvo with new shake awake cap. Buy at least the mid grade lpvo from them
  13. Eurooptic Viper pst2 1-6 $499 Buy that if buying vortex. Glass is better. $100 more basically outside of PSA sale. Sig tango msr is a really good deal. Comes with mount. Vortex razor is the shit. But $1600 or so.
  14. Factory grips on gunbroker for 200. I got curious lol.
  15. Hard to say on the colt although that price sounds good. What does she want the gun for? Both are fine - but I’m not a revolver guy so take that for what it is worth.
  16. I would also avoid integrally suppressed guns. That’s just me.
  17. DFW is fine. My guy is in Austin but we could work around that in the future. For Africa I’d also add a Sako to the mix. They’re great, around $2300, and plenty of 300WM on gunbroker. If you need a rec for the dealer let me know. For everything else in North America I’d look hard at 6.5 PRC. I’d custom build the gun you will use more often - it just makes more sense. If you decide to build I can set you up with the guy building mine. He’s great. I’m doing a defiance action, carbon six barrel, pure precision M5 bottom metal, chassis TBD. Probably in 6mm creedmoor or 260 rem. Bolt guns are pretty simple to build. Yes to brake.
  18. I’ll be back soon
  19. Looks like they’ve flooded the market so demand has gone down. That’s why you see a ton of them available. 3 years ago you had to wait to get one. So, people have looked elsewhere for boutique brands and that’s exacerbated the problem for them. I don’t think there are QC issues - I haven’t heard any. I have heard of b-14 issues accuracy wise but I’d still be a buyer because I want a carbon six llc barrel on it. Fierce and seekins are great. Most of these guns will outshoot you. I’d rather have 2 2k rifles than 1 5k rifle. Tikka and Sako are great.
  20. Delete the savage from your list. I agree with whoever said it above. 30-06 would be fine. Kind of MEH. 300WM makes sense 300 PRC if staying in America This is two gun purchase imo I can’t remember what I wrote above but I’d get 2 guns.
  21. Christensen is having a hard time moving guns right now. It’s not a quality issue. If you want a Christensen in a big caliber call Matt at arnzen Arms in Eden Prairie MN and tell him Jeff in Texas sent you. He has a ton of the Christensen biggies in stock.
  22. Plz get an lpvo. Not a red dot.
  23. So, there’s a lot going on here. First, 308 is not the best cartridge for what you’re looking for. You’re right, it is a tall order for one rifle. I’m going through a little of this right now (not this extreme) and I think I’ve decided on 6.5 PRC. If I had the money, I’d build a 6mm creedmoor and 6.5 PRC. Where are you? In Austin? I’d really look at building here.
  24. I’ll be back shortly.
  25. Go ask for AJ. Tell him Jeff from Guns Warehouse sent you. Blackjack does great work. If you need help let me know.
