I was at the range yesterday sighting in my ML and I had my .308 BLR out as well. They guy in the lane next to comes over and ask if he can check it out and I said sure. So he picks it up comments and it's a pretty neat gun. I asked him what he was shooting and it was a Sako 85 with a stainless fluted bull barrel and a Swarovski Z6 scope in 22-250. Man what a nice outfit, I am not sure if anybody has handled or shot a Sako but man oh man. He let me fire it and talk about a crisp trigger, he said it was set at 2.5# and I believe it. Anyway I told him I had a .220 swift I've had for 3 years and I still hadn't shot yet because I can't find any ammo for it locally and just don't want to spend what it's going online for these days. He says hold on and walks over to his truck and comes back and says you're just guy I have been looking for. He hands me 2 boxes of HSM Trophy gold w/Berger bullets. Says he has 3 different 22-250's and he was a Cabelas in KC, Mo last year buying 15 different varieties of 22-250 ammo to find out which each gun liked the best and grabbed them by mistake. I asked him what he wanted and he said nothing I am just glad to find somebody who can use them. Said he has been bringing those boxes to the range every time he comes in the hopes of running into somebody to give them to. He asked me to give him a call once I shoot it so see how I liked it and handed me a business card. So my trip to the range netted me about $75 in ammo and a new friend. The buddy that was with me said why is it every time we go some where you meet somebody and they become your new BFF, nobody I just meet at random gives me stuff. I said it's just because I am loveable.
