which reticle?

I've been accumulating points for too many years and would like to use them on a great mule deer hunt. Does anyone have any firsthand information about unit 40 they would be willing to share in a PM?

Thanks for all of the replies. I think I've found all that I can afford for now. You guys are great!!

I would like to find enough .243 105 A-Max to finish off my current barrel. I've got a load that I really like and I don't want to change things. I'm not sure what the going rate is but I'll start at $30/100 and I'll pay the shipping.

Good info. Thanks guys. I'm just not excited about working up a new load and verifying drops and all that stuff. I found a load that I really like and I hate to change things. Oh well, I guess I'll try to scrounge up a few more boxes to finish off this barrel.

Has the .243 105 gr A-Max been discontinued? The Hornady website doesn't list it anymore. None in stock at Cabelas or the local gun store. I've got a feeling that they've been replaced by the new ELD line of bullets. Does anyone have the official word on what is going on?

Where in Idaho are you located?

Still available?

Tried that too. The fore-end checkering on the stock I received from Browning was junk. It was a chewed up mess that felt like carpet. Can't understand how they would ship a product like that. If I was blind and had no sense of touch I probably wouldn't have noticed it. For $400 I expected much...

B&C and McMillan produce nothing for the X-Bolt. Again, no surprise.

Just got a reply from Manners this morning. Nada tostada for a Browning. No big surprise.

Leupold Varmint Hunter reticle is hard to beat. I've been using one for close to 10 yrs. Used it on .223, .243, and .204 Ruger. Simply adjust the magnification to match the ballistics of your load. I'm Not a big fan of the Nikon system either. I was always told that x marks the spot. A circle...

I'm a long, lanky 6'5" so the longer length of pull doesn't concern me. How is the pistol grip area? Is it a big fat handful or is it proportioned about right? The Decima Hunter version is supposed to be 10% slimmer. That is one of the reasons I briefly considered the Decima. What color did you...

Thanks guys, that was what I was wanting to know. Magnum and Rooster, which specific GRS model are you using?

I considered that but was worried I would run out of stock material to work with. Their forearms are fairly wide at the bottom but they taper off quickly as you move upwards toward the barrel channel.
