Polly Creed is a TL3 in 6.5 creed and Percy McBighorn is a SR3 in 6.5 PRC. Proof research carbon sendero light barrels, 20" on the creed and 22" on the PRC. Both wear Manners EH6A stocks, the creed is DBM and the PRC is BDL, TT diamond triggers, ARC M-10 rings. Sico Omega on the creed and Harvester on the PRC. I bought a pair of LRHSi's on the GAP clearance for them, but puked a Burris XTRII on my RPR and had to use one on it before the customs were ready. I tossed the LRHSi on Percy and bought a LRTS 3-12 for the lovely Miss Polly. I got the creed in, just before antelope season and the PRC the day before I left for elk camp. Neither got to kill their big game, so I had to draw first blood on smaller critters....

Miss Kimberly felt left out during elk season, as Percy took her place this year. I even tried to send her out with otter6, but he never stopped by to take her out.
