[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1071834, member: 83233"] Exactly why I picked it, I'm quite looking forward (ie getting antsy) to getting it. I'm having a Tikka M695 stainless rebarreled with an Oberymeyer 9twist, sporter contour 24". The mag takes a decent sized 3.49 COAL so I shouldn't be too hindered on length. Planning to start out trying to load up some 150gr bonded (midway "blems") and the barnes 145gr LRX. Going on my 3rd year here in CO, great place. No I don't know anything on that ranch but by the sounds of things you have an enjoyable hunt lined up. Regardless I think just heading out here will be a huge highlight for you. The mountains are quite epic, I know I was blow away when I headed out to WA from MI for a few years prior to moving to CO. All depends on the location you are in, some areas are rather pocketed with private land and you need to avoid trespassing so I find a GPS extremely useful when navigating close proximity to areas. I think folks would tend to disagree on the latest wave of 1000yd units only being good for 300yd, granted they aren't going to be 1000yd units but they work pretty well out to 500-600yd. After that yeah you need to jump up a class, just depends on your plans. [/QUOTE]
