I would like to see Weatherby bring back the .224 Wby. That would be fun. Stray Dog, I'm with you, I would really like to see Weatherby offer more of their calibers in the Vanguard.

I would like to see a 220 Weatherby Rocket with a 7.5 twist. It would be fun for the first 800 or so rounds.

Especially one that has been in the store for several years. A car that old would be sold as “used”. DF That's what I'm hoping, though I still haven't had a chance to get down there and check. Soon, I hope. Tell those guys the market is a bit soft on those kinda guns, the trend is to black rifles. I'm sure they know that, just won't hurt to remind them as you beat them up over the price...  That lets them know that you know... And as you get around to closing the deal, make them throw in several boxes of ammo, brass, whatever, to sweeten the deal. If that gun is a slow mover, the ammo and components probably slow as well. You may come out OK. DF If they take your money for that 7mm, they can but 2 Sig 365's. Those will sell in a week or two, making them more money that that Weatherby did. They can continue to reinvest the principle every two weeks, making a few buck each time. The gun you buy, it will be a big $ loser for them, time to stop bleeding. Unfortunately, I hate that kind if marketing, I like the places that stock what I might want. Not what turns over. But no modern store operates like that anymore.

He didn't seem too interested in 'wheeling and dealing'. As I don't think the rifles are going anywhere anytime soon, I'm gonna wait and see if I draw a decent tag, and maybe(maybe) go ahead and buy one anyway.

Gotcha. Good luck with getting a tag. Ken, thank you! How did you do? NM results are out already? I wish Idaho would get with the !@#$% program and have the draws earlier in the year. We don't even put in until sometime in May?

I got a deer and javelina tag and my son got a cow elk tag. Been thinking of using my custom and factory 7x57's for the deer and don't know yet what I'll use for the javelina. Of course the choices for the deer hunt will change about 1000 times and then some more.  My son wants to use my .30 Gibbs for his cow elk hunt.

You guys have mostly Mule Deer?? Do you hunt much with your son?

The area I hunt is mostly mule deer with some Texas whitetail here and there. Have yet to see one where I hunt,but do see them on the drive out where the homes are next to the road. Not as much as I would like,but we do go hunting and shooting.
