bulldog563Blank,
That Capstick DVD set is really good. I love the hunting videos that show the hunt from start to finish including the trophy prep and butchering. The Ele is my favorite one but they are all really good. Also kind of sad as far as one of the DVD's being his last safari. Good set though.

almostacowboyI got a very nice 20-60X spotting scope!

dougaboyThe look on my son's face when he got his first "very own" rifle (7mm-08). That means that I get my .270 back.

BOWHUNRMy gift arrived on Friday from Hill Country Rifles. It is a Montana 1999 stainless barreled action with a fluted barrel, set in a McMillan supergrade stock with a Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad. Don't flame me on the caliber guys, it's a .325 WSM. As soon as I get the Talley mounts and Leupold VX-III, I will give it a test drive. Plan on taking it to Russia in May for a big Kamchatka brown bear.
Merry Christmas,
BOWHUNR

Woof, good choices! I'm positive the caliber will prove to be absolutely excellent. Sad that the 8mms are such neglected calibers, they really have it all. With the new .323. cal bullets, you have a TSX for tough game, and an Accubond for softer stuff, you are good to go!
