Beautiful ram Sir. ![[Linked Image]](http://docdb.smugmug.com/Sports/Blackstone-2012/i-44MJKqQ/0/L/P1000096-L.jpg) Hornady 150gr GMX Superperformance factory ammo, sub MOA for this rifle and deadly. Concerning though, two dented primer misfires during the sight in process. This is a known issue on Hornady TAP Duty Ammunition in 5.56 as well. They have issues with the primers they use.... I didn't know that, thanks. I'm going to be working up a load for a new 7mm Rem Mag, so I hope to be avoiding factory ammo for the near future. Thanks, Don

OK, I'm an optics snob, but it didn't look like my swaro. And hey, Ryan was doing the carrying and the sheep evaluation, so I was not going to find fault with his technique. He's a guide of some noteriety, and I trusted his program.
Don what work for him and for you .... and the result is here.

The jacket is a rare Westcomb Mirage in Multicam that was made for the Japanese army and has eVent. The camo pattern looks like the new British pattern here, called "All-Terrain" . I wish I could find a pair of rain pants to match with full side zip, and a hat Don Don, we cant even get those jackets here ... but if more people write down to westcomb who knows.... they ll release more for us little mortals. all the best.

I spoke with Westcomb, here in Vancouver, when that jacket first made it's appearance on the 'Fire and they were pretty adamant that there would not be more of these made, for hunters,etc. The issue is really one of production costs and relatively limited market as not many Canadian hunters will pay the price for gear of this quality.
Westcomb, is, without question, the finest outershell gear I have ever seen in almost 50 years of serious outdoor work, recreation and using a lot of highend products. It is costly and "more" than many hunters really NEED, but, it is superb and, IMHO, worth the prices they ask.
I "think" that "Wild Things" in the USA makes some eVent jackets in "multicam" and the few items I have bought from them are very fine in quality and they are nice people to deal with. Marie, the owner, called me one morning to enquire if I were interested in a camo. jacket of eVent fabric and was willing, a few years ago, to make me some clothing that is "custom" and fits the way I prefer my stuff to. This is real, old-fashioned service and worth checking into for anyone looking for this type of clothing.
Just a suggestion, I would also like to have a jacket/pants exactly like Don's, very versatile gear, IMHO.

Wild Things makes some very good gear. We issue the soft shells, top and bottoms. The event jacket is cut to fit ovr body armror and I find it to be big in the body without a vest on. If I found myself with the jacket that Doc has I would be all over the WT pants in event like a fat kid on a smarty.
