  1. This will end badly, very badly for some. The price  at this level is way beyond what is justified by the underlying revenues generated by this company. Think of it as the 6.5 Creedmoor of stocks, way too much HYPE. Be nimble, be engaged and don't get burned.

  2. I would suggest that along with or in place of a custom turret also using a ballistic app. The flexibility and tunability of say the Strelok Pro is incredible. The app lets you adjust for a change in ammo or set up different rifles. Also while hunting you can make up a dial up card to exactly match you current conditions. I usually make a dial up card the day before my hunt that way all you need to do when time is critical is range, reference and dial.  I just used the app to true up my dial up values, it turns out my Leupold Vx-3i LRP  8.5-25X50 scope has a value of .244 MOA per elevation click.

  3. I back pack hunted for a number of years. First time with a full sized MOD 70 30-06. Then with a BP muzzle loader with a 32" inch 1' octagon barrel. The 7lb 11oz muzzle loader was much nicer to carry than he 30-06 at almost 9lbs. I had a R700 custom built in 270 with a skinny barrel and carbon fiber stock mounted with the smaller of the Swaro Z3 scopes. Shooting the lite 270 can be tricky as it can get out of hand so to speak and result in misses. My experience is rifle and scope less than 8lbs and more than 7lbs 4oz is a nice balance for me when it comes to easy carry and steady shooters. A Tikka T3x Lite with a scope around 12oz and talley lightweight rings will get you in that zone. I vote for the Swaro Z3 scopes for quality lightweight glass.

  4. Not saying what anyone should do, more consider carefully before risking your hard earned $$$$'s. The crypto craze is running pretty hot, got to ask are you getting in at the top? or hoping you are getting in mid bubble? Best not to put in money you will need next year, money you can not afford to loose or money that first might be better aside as an emergency fund. Other than that have fun & good luck.

  5. Cabela's has a used 243 carbine listed for $1000. I just sold a S & W MOD 28 and watched several auctions on gun broker for the prices it would sell for. Luckily I had a interested individual that was local, after watching the auctions we both felt the price I asked was about right.

    I’m surprised that some people have not realized that prices of Ammo have gone up over the past year. Maybe it’s just easier for me to accept, since I’m used to paying $70/ box for nosler and weatherby ammo. It does not matter what I paid for it or when or where I purchased it, what matters is if my asking price is fair. If it is fair for the current market, it will sell. If not, it won’t. If you are interested in any of the items I’m selling, please let me know and we can work out arrangements. If you think my prices are too high, feel free to make a cash or a trade offer. I’ve purchased and sold lots of items on here and I have never backed out on an item I said I would purchase. I’ve never backed out on a sale I agreed to, even if I accepted less than asking price and another member showed interest before the transaction was completed. I’ve met lots of great people all over town and hope that everyone is happy with our transactions and the item I sold met their expectations.

    I check ammoseek.com a couple times a day for 6.5C. $60 bucks is not the lowest price but that is where a lot is priced. Last two or three weeks some vendors getting down to $50 a box or just under. Berger 140 ammo was available for a short time today in the $40ish range. But for now $60 is kinda where it is, just need to get my loading bench going again
