Well, I made it half way through the year before I broke my resolution to not buy any new guns. Got a few bucks from a recognition award at work and had too much spare time today.
Ordered a new Weatherby 6.5-300, it shoots a 127gr Barnes LRX at a sluggish 3531fps. It should be here in a week or so, I will post pics. I need this like I need another hole in my head.

Dang Snowflake! What's the world coming to? Does the present day workforce really expect to be paid extra just because their co-workers recognize them when they walk into the office? Unbelievable.
(Congrats dude ... sounds like fun!)

Congrats on the award...and the new toy.
Hey that's a cool deal. Hope you enjoy the rifle. We don't buy as many as we used to do we?
Will
It shipped out yesterday so it should be here by Monday. This is what it looks like.

I haven’t bought one in a while, I usually only buy one if I get a good deal on one. I can’t really remember the last time I bought one new from a store before this one.
I pretty much have everything short of a grizzly covered at this point and I have a 300 Weatherby mag that would probably work on it. Although from what I read most folks go with a 338mag or bigger.

The good news is the new rifle came in Saturday the bad news is I had to drop $180 for 2 twenty round boxes of ammo.

Is that the blue elephant gun or the pink elephant gun?

$4.25 a pop?! Damn, I’d have to reload those things.
I’ll never complain about how fast my kids can burn through .223 and 9mm again!
