I forget what year it was, but in the mid-1980s, I got an invite to a gunwriter's hunt in Quebec. The George River caribou herd was at an all-time high and the prospects were excellent.
So I went.
One guy I going in was Melvin Forbes and though I'd visited him at the SHOT, I'd never hunted with him. Anyway, we got along well and had a lot of fun together.
Before the hunt was over, I bought that very rifle from him. Killed a sh1tload of elk with that .30-'06 and it was my one of my prime hunting tools for over a decade a decade. I never missed with the ULA and never shot twice on either elk or deer. Hell of a rifle.
A 24HCF member owns that fantastic ULA rifle now ... great guy from down Roseberg/Grant's Pass way.
True story.
God Bless,
Steve
Gee, look at that. You edit your thread after I called you out and it doesn't even show as being edited.
