How about the ridgeline? Anyone have any experience with one?

Glad to hear it is a shooter. If you don't mind me asking, did you look into any other rifles? Looking at all possible options. Also, did you consider the mesa long range? If I pull the trigger on this it will be more of a dedicated long range rig for targets or from a blind, not something I need to hike around with.

I've got a tikka in 7mm 08. It shoots well. I'm just looking for something new I guess. Was looking at Jeff Hankins ABR rifles out of Kentucky as well.

David Petzal says the 7mm 08 is the best deer cartridge of all time. Jack O'Connor killed most everything in North America with a 270. There are many choices as far as rifles go. Plenty of calibers that will get it done. If you aren't going to reload I would choose something that is readily available with many bullet weight options. Handle as many different ones as you feel you need to. The last rifle I bought I thought I wanted a weatherby vanguard. I went and picked one up and was turned off immediately. I just didn't like the way it felt. I ended up with a tikka t3, and love it. Lots of options! Which can be part of the fun.

Anyone have any experience with this platform or a similar quality sub moa rifle at the similar price point (about $1200)? I'm looking into either the 6.5 creedmoor or the 6.5 PRC, haven't decided which yet. I want one that can drive tacks but not weigh as much as a Prius.

can you post some pics?

thanks

What/who is Kijiji?

HOLY CRAP

When running doubles has anyone ever experimented with the half weight on the inside keel versus the outside keel? Notice a difference either way?

Just booked a trip with Black Rose Charter Fishing. (Thanks for the Tip Abe!) Looking forward to it! Ground fish, Porbeagle sharks, possible tuna and whatever else comes to play!

If you are talking about the trees form Mads docks I have a set and I like them. Although I do not have the track base model. I mounted cannon base plates to my boat and bolt them to those, that way I can take them on and off in seconds and it leaves a wider base of support.

Tried the gator perch last night. Added Garlic and a little old bay to the pan searing flour and finished with Parmesan cheese. It was very good. One thing I would try differently on my end would be to sauté the garlic in the pan until its aromatic before I added in the tomatoes and capers. My kids housed it. I think that combo would be good over any fish. Thanks Gator!
