I was lucky enough to head out to Phoenix, AZ on March 6,7 for the 2010 Cactus Classic this year and we had a blast, the weather got crappy on Sunday but it was worth it. I was lucky enough to get to know a lot of great guys and had a great time. I left Vernon on thursday morning at about 4:45am, met up with a friend in amarillo and we made it out there on Thursday evening about 7 their time. So long drive over 13hrs. We got there just in time to unload the truck and get our loading benches set up and I even had time to fire a few downrange! The next morning everyone really started showing up and it was an eventfull day. I shot the smallest group I have ever shot .090, unfortunately not during a match, matches started on Saturday. Oh and these are 5 shot groups. The best group I shot over the weekend was .198 at 100 yards. The match was a NBRSA registered match and is a very big event in the benchrest world. The match was 100yd and 200yd including LV (light varmint 10.5 lbs or less) and HV (Heavy Varmint 13.5 lbs or less). I have two LV rifles and 1 HV rifle but I really got one of my LV rifles tuned good so I shot it in all the matches all weekend, it is a Stolle Panda with a Hart barrel and a McMillan Edge stock Jewel 1.5oz trigger and a 36x weaver. I shot the .090 with this one so it was definately shootin! I also had the privilege of loading next to a very cool dude, Walt Berger. He was a pleasure to visit with and Eric Stecker who now runs Berger Bullets was also great to talk to. I really had a great time and cant wait to go back next year. I will try to post some pics later

I'm waiting on 2 PRS's from Botach and I just hit the BIN on a DPMS LR6.5!

Believe it or not, thats the only one I have found...

I have been eyeing a 24" bull DPMS LR in 6.5 Creedmoor that I am itching to buy but I can't seem to find any brass or loaded ammo available? I know I can make brass, but I really don't want to go to that extreme on this one. Thanks in advance guys. Help me find some so I can buy it and mod it!!! I will document all my mods on the board as well.

"not to mention all the Rascal and Hoveround drivers hitting me in my ankles!" ROLMAO! I love it!

Thanks! I wish someone could tell me what it is ::)

HECK YEAH!!! BOTACH ROCKS!!! Im sorry for the sh__ty pics, I don't know whats up with my camera tonight ??? I will try to get out with her tomorrow and maybe try and snipe a pig, that would make a better pic foe shoe!

That is one BAD lookin stic!!!

Yep, I'm in Vernon, Tx. The booming metro area of 12000 steady 8)

Hunt with it... Sleep with it... Tell it bed time stories Heck Yeah!

A couple of friends and I had a couple tables at the last Tulsa wanamacher show, It is awesome, almost too awesome, the show is so big, its almost too much. I was there for 2.5 days and didnt see it all. I can't wait to go back though, we will probably have a table again, I will let you know if we do and you can come holler at us Panther. We have some local shows Wichita Falls, Tx, and I usually get a table at that one, but it is small, although I always seem to find a deal or two. I also go to the Dallas Market Hall show, Mesquite Big Town, and the Fort Worth show several times a year. They are very good shows and I can always find what I am looking for. But I must say Tulsa is the SHOW OF SHOWS!

I got the PRS today! Man this stock is awesome! It feels as good as it looks, and the adjustment wheels are solid and smooth, I can't wait to get out and shoot, looks like tomorrow will have to do...

HMMMMMMMMMMM... Youre gettin there...

I have probably done 30+ Jards so it is pretty easy for me now, but the first one was a bit tricky, I can say that I have learned some tricks...

With the can, Sorry for the crappy blackberry pic

Thanks, I will try to post a pic with the can on it... True gun porn!

Does anyone remember these? Ofcourse I know what it is, I bought it brand new 20+ years ago... This was my very first "black rifle" Here's a pic or two:

Here's a pic of my Mustang Here's my H&K USP 45CT I also have a AWC Nexus III http://www.awcsystech.com/products/suppressors/nexus-iii-45/ It is waiting QUITELY for me at my FFL, Waiting on my paperwork...

If you are a concealed firearms licensee, or leo, or not... What is your concealed carry weapon of choice? Post a picture if you like, list mods, etc... I personally carry a Colt Mustang Stainless Pocketlite most of the time, I also have a Ruger LCP with Crimson Trace, and several others. I carry my H&K Compact Tactical in the truck, also a S&W 9mm, and my jacket pocket pistol is a Berreta M20 in 25acp.

Thanks guys! The PRS is on its way too, I cant wait!

That was a good buy on the 8.5-25 LR, I bought one for 680shipped and 700 for another. Most are asking more but might not be selling, Great optic none the less!

I have used the single stage Jard triggers for years with great success. Their are alot of great triggers out there though... If you decide to go with a Jard, I will be happy to help you out!!!
