SharpsNitro: You are in the PACNW? You must be getting buried like we are. We got 8 or 10 more inches since these pics were taken yesterday. Not sure if there is going to be a deer left in the spring...

My range is socked in now so it is skiing or snowshoing only. Now that my 6.5x55 CZ550 is rebarreled to 9.3x62, I picked one of my Rugers as a go-along replacement, also in 6.5x55. Just set it up with the QD sling affair. I made a "universal" double sling affair a couple years ago for winter use, but this is much better and one sling or two can be quickly used, or both removed entirely.

450, the x62 isn't ready yet. Still waiting on the 9.3x62 mag box and follower from CZ. As for our bear, they are all tucked inside their dens now and have been for quite a while. Sensible creatures!!

Wolves and cougar are still out and about. Those things plus the weather is not a good equation for healthy elk and deer herds!

Here's a magazine-full shot from sitting as-pictured at 200 yards. Took the pic at the shop, with the bolts stuck in the tiny 6.5 holes so they show up in the photo. Not gonna get me in the door at Camp Perry, but in blowing snow I'm not complaining and I have no excuses if the coyote keeps running for the next county after the gun barks!

Looks like a White Christmas!!
