[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1475726, member: 96226"] It was truly mind blowing. To be able to go in the first place was a life's fantasy that suddenly and almost magically sort of fell into place and happened. Then to have the experiences I had and meeting the people I met, unbelievable time. I've already started planning next year and thinking a month is a much more doable amount of time. One of my guides built (or had built) that tikka. The thing is a laser beam and he takes his reloading somewhat seriously. It's a gun you really find out you can trust to put metal on meat. It has a Proof barrel on it and the GRS stock, .300wsm, US Optics B17, and a very effective suppressor which thankfully cut the recoil to a bit less sharp than my .243AI. In fact... every rifle I shot except for the AX50 had a really nice suppressor. That was a nice change from Kommiefornia. The GRS chassis stock is pretty nice ergonomically with one exception. I did find that when using a rear bag, very often the little pins for the cheek rest could nab the back of my hand on recoil. Not a major issue & easily remedied. To me, up close visually it's kinda like Brickell Clark, expertly assembled from what very much is agreed upon to be all the right pieces to achieve a particular look and yet, somehow, is still not very attractive.
