The good stuff never is. Including H-4895.

I have a CVA Cascade in 7mm-08 threaded and a custom Rem 700 being built. I love that caliber. My supperssor is still about 3-4 months out. I did not time it well for this season.

Me too! Been using it for a few years, not bad recoil and seems to still hit pretty hard.
Wouldn't have mattered when you filed, the ATF seems to like to bone people on getting their suppressor after season ends
I did mine in May. It was one fo those things where I had to just make the decision and had the worst timing. Banish 30. Silencer Central was great. Got all the extras I needed.Me too! Been using it for a few years, not bad recoil and seems to still hit pretty hard.

Perfect description of the 7mm-08. Not bad recoil and hits hard.
I may be having a custom 6.5 PRC built as well. Another cartridge that recoil is mild and hits hard. Good thing is the buddy I have that will build it can easily replace a burned out barrel. He is a master.

I'm going to be bringing my .257 weatherby vanguard stainless synthetic. Haven't hunted with this rig yet. Testing the 75 grain hammer hunter at 4150 feet per second. Have it all dialed in out to 500 yards. It's hold on hair flat to that distance.
I may also get a fall black bear tag. For that I'd probably grab the .300 win mag savage 111, got an accurate load for that with federal 180 grain trophy bonded tips at about 3000 fps.

6.5x47 shooting 110 HH. Hard not to use this when it shoots so well.
Decided to take it from a 26" barrel to 22". I don't think it hurt the accuracy. Next outing I will get new chrono data. Oh, Sporting a new NX8 4-32 too.

I can't take the lack input so far:
Inline 50cal smoke pole season.
.338 fed Kimber montana first week or two with the leaves still on
AM walks, my self built 300PRC Defiance/Proof
Evening sits Dad's #10 .257 Roberts
Rain and Snow days 20'' CA Ridgeline .308 short LOP for shooting with pack on
Bluebird fall days .308 Kimber select excellent wood
Cold, big woods days .280 AI of some flavor (3)
Thanksgiving day hunt Savage 99 to honor the fallen.
Post rut thumper .338 RCM
Now I just have to decide on a truck gun, out the window rifle and suitable back up for each above while at camp.
Yes, i'm excited. Of course this is all going to change ten times in the next three weeks.
And yes Lance, now you can pick on ME!

Close to medium range, CZ 527. 6.5 Grendel 85 HH @2997 fps. Medium to long. CA Arms Ridge line, 7-08 132 HHT @ 3010 fps. Both shoot better than I'm able to shoot them!
I like and own both of those calibers.

Not a rifle but..
*Ravin R5X to hopefully get my archery buck
*Aero Precision 6.8 SPC AR pistol/ holosun red dot to get my shotgun buck
*Possibly CVA optima/ Bushnell banner to get my muzzleloader buck (will skip muzzleloader season if I am lucky enough to get an archery and shotgun buck..don't want to kill too many deer off of our property!)
*and finally a savage storm 6.5 creedmoor with a Nightforce NX8 and probably Hornady SSTs for Texas.
