Hey Rip,
Yeah, the gain-twist is cool. Actually, Chris has the capability of gain-twist now, but I don't know if he is doing any for customers yet. And, actually, I don't know if it is a good thing or not. Anyway, mine is a BOY.
Karen's .250 Ackley is absolutely identical to my .25-06 except that it is a three-contour Schneider and has a 22-inch barrel.
Yeah, they are heavy and I hate that part about them. The name of the game, however, is making the one prfect shot. Karen and I got back from antelope hunting this year with four dead goats and four shots fired. Our yak and water buffalo were two shots. Year before last, we killed two antelope and two deer--four shots. The combination works and I ain't gonna change it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Yup, a Harris L-S bipod is twelve friggin' ounces. Hate that three-quarter of a pound, but wouldn't be caught dead in the field without it.
Merry Christmas, my friend.
