Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Judman; Good afternoon to you, I hope it's as nice and bright a day down your way as we're getting today and that all who matter to you are well. Thanks for sharing the photo and specs of the new build, it looks extremely capable and functional too. What I really like however, is the carved bear! A most practical rifle prop for sure and certain in my view. Thanks again and all the best to you all. Dwayne

Thank ya sir. The bear we actually inherited from my wife great uncle. He use to love to come out to our place and bbq down by the river and tell me huntin/trapping stories from when he lived up on the skagit river in the 40’sand 50’. Mans name was Bing McLeod. He logged in the spring/summer then fall/winter he ran a Trapline just below the BC border above Diablo. Told tales of mtn caribou, wolves, wolverines, living off the land. Really cool old man, miss his company. Anyhow, when he passed the family thought Bing would like us to have it. Brings back good memories. 👍

Interested to see how it shoots. Have been kicking around a 300 PRC or 30 nosler as next build. Looks very nice. Thanks for sharing

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Really cool old man, miss his company. Anyhow, when he passed the family thought Bing would like us to have it. Brings back good memories. 👍 Jud; Thanks for the reply and further information. That's a wonderful bit of family history in that heirloom bear sir! We've spent a fair bit of time in the Manning Park area and travel through that country on our way to the coast when we go, so we're reasonably familiar with our side of it. If anyone's not been through there, it's tough, wet and not really flat in most spots. It would have been some wild in the '40's and '50's for sure. The .300 PRC I'm not familiar with first hand, but by doing some reading it looks like a bit more potential than a .300 Win with the fast twist for heavier projectiles, correct? Anyways sir again that's a fine arm and a neat bit of family history too, so thanks again for sharing. All the best to you all. Dwayne

Jud, What are you planning on running for hunting ammo in the PRC? From my reading it looks to be similar performance wise to a 300 win mag without the belt and faster twist. When I was looking it was because I’m sitting on a pretty good stash of 200 gr partitions and accubonds and wondered how the faster 1:8 twist would perform with those or the 190 & 210 Berger vld’s

The 200 Accubond shoots and kills excellent in a 300 Win Mag. I wouldn’t go any less than 8 in a. 30 caliber myself if I were building another. Some say it’s too much but I haven’t seen a downfall yet.

Ya... be tough to top, in a perty light portable package. I packed 26” snouts around for years, I’ll never go over 24” again on a build, or a loudner...
