Well after Delta lost my bag with my scopes, camera, military service records, huntin gear, and some gifts, I finally made it home to the parents house in Wyoming.

Got the Blaser traded, got quite a bit in trade, yes I know it's a loss but I got a bunch of stuff I always wanted. I know cop out.

1. Weatherby Vanguard Sub MOA Black with tan synthetic stock 257 Weatherby mounted Nikon 5.5-15 Monarch in Leupold mounts.
2. CZ 550 Full stock 9.3x62 new Barska 3-12x44 30mm in CZ mounts
3. Remington M504 22 LR mounted new Burris 3-9 BPlex in Leupold mounts
4. Remington XP100 pistol Custom SSK industries 284 Winchester with a Burris 2-7 yes it's a handful!
5. Remington M700 223 with the HSP black stock and heavy barrel mounted new Barska 6-24 Police scope
6. Marlin M444 in 444 for Dad he wanted it while we were there. Going to mount a Burris 1-5 compact.
7. CZ 550 375 H&H with the new safari stock, it wasn't supposed to be upgraded wood, but that's how it got here. I mounted a 2-7 Leupold compact I had on hand in Talley mounts.

So in about 2 hours I am going to go kill an antelope with the new XP100 pistol. We shot it, the 22, the 444, and the 223 last night.

I have to build some 257 Weatherby and 9.3x62 ammo. We ran out of time, or we would have shot the 375.

The 444 is a hell of a rock killer!

Need to call Delta in a few hours and find out where my stuff is.

Talk to you this evening hopefully with photos of my antelope and new guns.

The Blaser S-2 didn't come as ordered.

So we tried out the XP-100 on Pronghorns today in Wyoming. I killed a horned doe at 320 yards and the old man killed a 13x12.5 heavy horned long shoveled buck at 215 yards.

Not bad for a pistol!

Yes, a nice little shopping spree! Pity, now he cannot afford to buy my Offroad Timber R93, that I need to quit.
Oh well, never mind D99.

Cheers, Dave,

This is dad's buck 13x12.5 about 77 B&C really heavy.

Dad's got serious knee, and back problems and didn't want to crouch behind the goat.

Today Dad took a mulie 2x2 and me and a friend fetched it for him. He made a nice one shot neck shot from about 140 yards.

D99, nice pics! I guess the easiest way to get it across the pond would be dealer to dealer? Dunno what the exchange rate is between $ AUD and $ USD, but $2,000 AUD will get you the Offroad Timber in .270 win (65 rounds through it, I keep a BBL log - too much time in the Army!), the blaser 'B' case and blaser sling.

Cheers, Dave.
