Pretty much sums it up... The whole forum was all over it 9 months ago and we haven't heard anything for a while.
Or should I just start looking for a stainless 700LA and call McMillan for my next gun?

They are slowly making their way.
There was one advertised on these classifieds about a month ago, but they are pretty scarce.

No offense intended of course, did a woman have you distracted er what? Magnum Man

Something like that... The rifle hobby has taken a back seat to recurves, and um..
Getting laid.
I just thought it was funny that the Forbes gun pretty much fell off the scene while I was "busy"

M Gunns I was in the Rapid City store tonite and as Cinch said it is still there, its a 270 but the gun manager said its no problem for him to get one in 30-06. Call Jerry Gion at (605)342-9021 it was priced 1399.99 and they wouldn't come down a dime but they are new and hot...Initially I thought it barrel heavy but mostly that the butt is very light. With a 6x36 Leupold and some alloy rings and bases it sure would be a lwt hoser of the 1 st order. .

Magnum...
I've got the 'Curves covered. One Silvertip here with two sets of limbs, and another one on its way (I needed a reason to buy 400 bucks worth of exotic hardwood)

Only got about 2 1/2 doz left my self. Got a 70# Bear Kodiak( newer version of the old Super Kodiak with laminated riser) that's guaranteed to strain yer milk and then some. Also have a bi-radial risered Herters with a bad limb( riser is solid Rosewood I believe and a Ben Pearson biradial risered Cobra model with a bad limb make great knife handles er whatever. My younger brother collects curves and still has between 350 and 400 so if you looking for a specific bow let me know. Magnum Man

That's what I'd do.
