No real damage done yet. I did the 'I'll take it' thing on the Fire for that .257bbl that's on there.

If I get it, we'll do a 250AI or a 257wby....sometime. No hurry.

Make it a .257 Weatherby...for no other reason then I'll bring up mine and you can supply all the dope for the "all night" shooting session from the deck of the cabin... :D

No dice...shootingnurse beat me to it. Guess he must have seen my 'I'll take it', as he had a PM in this morning but apparently hadn't decided until moments ago.

No big deal...but wish people would stick with the first 'i'll take it' wins...

Dave, somebody needs to build the .25 WSM that BigStick is always talking about, but never builds...

I'm sure he would tell you it was shit, and trade you out of it in simpathy...

I just got a call from a buddy that might be able to snag a few of the $300 ADL's from Mart-Mart ... says they don't seem to have any short actions, but do have a few longs and a mag or two ...

I'm thinking about claiming the mag action for a 257roy build, but was wondering if a .25-284 likes a short or long action? I'm guessing short, but if it likes a long action, I might have to go that route instead ...

that's what I thought ... I might just have to do a .257roy or a .25-06 then ...

or, trade the rifle/action for a shorty ...

That buddy is me, and they are holding me an '06 and a 7 mag til tomorrow. They have to close the register at 10 pm and it was 9:30 when I got there...I'll probably snag whatever they have tomorrow when I get there in addition to the two they are holding. They were all they could find in the back at the time.
I have an "I'll take it" on the Ti stock on the Fire, and will slam one of them in that stock and top it with a 6x42 and talleys i already have in the safe. Think the donor'll shoot? ;)

No big deal on the one I missed...I'm guessing shootingnurse saw my move and decided to get off his ass....

I don't like the whole Dave, I'm waiting for shootingnurse to respond. He made an offer earlier. If he doesn't want it, it's yours.

I prefer I'll take it wins.

Yeah, there's good folks here and they're fun to work with. The food sucks, not sure about the beads. You can order those anyway, with or without the string....

Simply the nod to tote the 7Shamu. Didn't unfold that way,as a 7-08,25-284,25-06AI,22-250AI and a 223AI were in tow.

Had some unforeseen weather build,took some swells over the stern and knocked much of the goody offa 3 rifles in particular.

Roundeye wrecked nicely on the motorcycle,got used by a pretty fair Buck and I'm thinking the first day of this R&R isn't to be forgotten anytime soon.

Accrued fresh dents in my boat,as well.

Honked in 2 Bucks on the new Call too(thanks Bill/Dave)...............

What call are y'all usin'?

Call in bucks in this area would be like using black magic. NO ONE does it, swears it can't/don't work, and won't even try it. Hell, findin' a call is next to impossible.

None in our group will ever reveal the origin of the new call, sworn to secrecy by whiskey oath.

For time tested standbys, look to Kmeer Deer, Lohman #30, and the like...

Alternatively, stretch friction tape between two small pieces of wood, tightly, and adjust tension to desired sound.

The new call has amazing volume,if one desires. Can like the tone and it'll deal a wisp of raspiness,should one be inclined.

The Great One is headed to where you called me in the middle of the night,when Uncle Jim and BW were trying to kill you. I'm heading opposite,to where Humper and I lit shit up last year..............

I like the fuzzy tones on occasion.

The Great One's after Shorty's bucks...grin.

Good luck to all today.
