Just bought a prototype gun from a custom manufacturer in Pennsylvania, Bobby Hart. I know Bobby for 15 years and he has accurized all of my Colt Sauer rifles. I have also done his long-distance shooting school in PA.

This is his first all carbon hunting rifle-a carbon fiber stock from New Zealand with a Tikka T3 .300WSM stainless steel receiver with a turned down stainless steel barrel with a heat dissipating carbon wrap on the barrel. I did not weigh it but 6lb stainless steel gun+/-.

Gave my son the Vortex 4-16 x 44 scope that it came with for his -06' and I am mounting a Schmidt & Bender 4-16 x 56 illuminated scope with Talley rings.

Cannot wait to get it out to the range!

Tom,

Tom we have a 300 and 450 yard range a mile away if needed. Besides, I'd love to see that gun up close and personal. Sounds like a fantastic gun.

Seems a bit much for ducks, if you ask me.

Not just ducks! Mountain Goat for this one.

I like the Schmidt & Bender scopes. Have them on all of my guns. Always clear and the light gathering transmission on this one of more than 96%, puts the 4-16x56 Polar T96 over the top.

Should be a tack driver. Just bought Nosler Accubond long-range 190 grain ammo, see how they group. Buying the 300WSM die and then I can play with the loads. Thinking of going Nosler Accubond long-range 200 grain for the goat and possibility of coastal black bear on the trip.

Tom,

As you know I'm a big S&B fan too. My 3-12 x50 Zenith is incredibly crystal clear. Been reading a bit about your new one. With a 34mm tube that's a big scope. No wonder it has the light transmission. Superb get all around.

Decades ago I learned to love days like today, whether in-season hunting or hunting with a camera and a .22 for whatever shots. Temperatures in the 40's, drizzle, dark, little foggy, no/little wind, ground soaked,......QUIET......& BEAUTIFUL. Can walk & walk, slowly & silently, in dark camo & blend in, AND, nobody else in the woods. I just wish my photo attempts at red fox & bobcat were better than blurs. Spring Gobbler opens early April. I love these big birds.

Duke,

Spring is almost here; getting ready for Turkey hunt, opens May 1st here in NY. Turkey in NY have made an amazing comeback. Many suburban neighborhoods are having trouble dealing with them.

Thanks for the pics! Enjoy the view.
