The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

I doubt I have barely over a dozen Montucky Custom Rifles. Hint. Never heard of NightFarce. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/924/tRK1VW.jpg) Fishing has been too good to shoot. Hint..................

This is my seventh Speedmire and likely THE Favorite,though I've not even shot it yet. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/924/p2DpBG.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/922/CbJ6oG.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/923/EDuJX5.jpg) Need to sort through some new scopes,including a coupla NightFarce and kinda/sorta have a NXS 2.5-10x 42 MIL-R slated for it,assuming it tracks,repeats and holds zero. Should know in a day or two. Hint.............. The rifle I shoot the most these days is a 1:8 Lilja 22-250 factory contour duplicate Montana topped w/2.5-10x42 NXS. There's a 243Win Montana I rescued from becoming some ham-handed goofball's next misery. It's very likely to end up with a 1:7 duplicate factory contour Lilja and chambered to 22 Creed and the same scope perched atop. 22" all the way around.

Over the years it seems like a Montana was spinning the roulette wheel.
But perhaps folks like the action better than the 700.
Anyone have any issues with the actions? Seems I recall possible light hammer strikes. Spring issue?

Shot 3 on Saturday. Ranges 125, 130 & the highlight of my day, 450 (trotting)... got lucky there. I'm noticing a trend with the 75ELDM on coyotes 150 and in. If not hit frontal, square in the chest, the 75s leave a pretty generous hole. Anything past that is a fine pelt. I'm really going to try 88s here soon and if I'm happy, that'll be my deer load for next year. 75s have been great but I want to test out the 88s. As soon as my 17FB comes in I'll probably use that for the rest of coyote season... really trying to call in a cat for the next month. Contemplating a 20GT build, 18" barrel for supressor & 55 Bergers (if Graff & Sons gets them in again) going 3600ish  ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/XyQYx9n/IMG-5892.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/NstkpHb/IMG-5902.jpg)

I dig it! The 22 Creedmoor is about the only itch I need to scratch in the future. Barrel contour looks more like a 2B but likely just phantasm on my part.  The Only...(or The Last).....famous last words of a few loonies  Next... Nice rifles folks.

Big ol Tom couldn't resist the Woodpecker. I'm on cloud 9 to say the least. 75grain ELDM, frontal chest shot at 200yds. Zero fur damage.. in fact, I didn't even see the entrance hole ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/jhWjdjN/bobb1.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/NYJxfhT/bobb2.jpg)

All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.
The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.

Would make a nice full mount I thought about it but if I did, I would want one of the best to mount it as I've seen too many bad cat mounts. I just don't want to spend that kind of coin right now. It's getting soft tanned with the claws on right now.

I’ve ran nothing but 75ELDMs through this rifle. I’ve had some 88s I’ve wanted to try for a while now. I finally got around to trying 88ELDMs. 👀 I’ll take it… ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/Ld1V7CL/IMG-6414.jpg)
