I haven't forgotten ole Lon and HS sucking up on him to get Fed contracts.

I traded for an HS SPL .240 Wby. So, by trading, not buying from HS, I justified the deal. To their credit, HS makes their own barrels, even their triggers, all top notch.

But, the stock was a club, weighed 42 oz. I dropped that barreled action in a McM Hunters Edge, weighing 26 oz. Great improvement. In fact, I sent the barreled action to McM. They had a program to inlet the action, not the SPL barrel. Well now they do...
