OH BC I didn't mean to scare you about the Kimber.. tell you what if you want a nice one there is this guy in WVA by the name of Melvin and he'll take care of your problem. Nice guy and he builds a pretty decent rifle from what I hear.

Gunshop not too terribly far from the house has them in stock and I try to ignore them sitting in the rifle rack everytime I walk into that store. Very hard to ignore them Very Very Hard.

Yep he usually has one or 2 hanging around and sometimes has a used one... Owner has 2 of them and always brags about them if you just ask him about them. He knows Melvin real well and orders them for his stock. Name of the place is " The Gun Room Mebane,N.C"

Wow, thats cool. Just for snickers and grins. What is the price tag? Are these all short actions? I am looking into a 270WSM. Talked to Melvin about a 308, but I already have that filled.

Man you guys are hooked. My kind of people. Scheels plays hail to the chief and rolls out a green carpet when I come in the door. A few other gun shops are going to get into that habit as well.

I talked her into shooting an old 7 Mag that I had and she was mad at me for a week. It did save her from getting mad about something else though.
ROFLMAO = rolling on floor, laughing my a$$ off. I think I married a relative of hers.

Guys, my dream job would be a gunwriter. I think I can write more fluidly and more understandably than most out there. I love working up the loads for new rifles. Talking about them, researching them. Then taking the fruits of my labors into the field and testing them first hand. Documenting the damage and wounds. I think I could do it.

I know it takes dedication. But more than hunting, I love reloading for new rounds. I know most on here enjoys hunting more.
