Dion, @dpete - I'm gonna have to convert full walls in the entire house to pull this one off...  

Oh I am sure!  But just think of all the fun you'll have ripping the house apart to do it.  Demo is always the fun part of remodelling.

GOT CANNON?

@98Z5V Are you going to get the complete ARC lineup?  They now have 338ARC.

For right now, I'd say no - but I can't count myself out of that game.  I'd to the 8.6 Blk first, over that one.  But, I also don't trust myself with impulsive buys and builds. 

ARC-wise, I'm pretty much fuqd, and have alot of mouths to feed.  We can toss Grendel in there, too, because that started it all.  There are 5 Grendels, 3x 6 ARCS, and 3x 22 ARCS.  12.5", 16" and 18" are all covered, in every flavor.  We can lump the 18" .224 Valk in there, too, into the Intermediate Cartridge category - I need to revisit that one, and try to make it better than it did, better than it was hyped up.  

Tell you what - Intermediate Cartridges, and 12.5" barrels - that's some magic, right there.  Last Sunday, the 12.5" 22 ARC ripped out 2380fps on Hornady Match 88gr ELD-M factory ammo, and it called for 4 mils at 500 yards - and 4 mils at 500 yards was right on the money...  

I need to run that one out to 850 and see what's up.   

[Armed Eye Doc]

It seems to be positioned as an enhanced 300BO.  It doesn't appear to compete with the other rounds in the ARC lineup.

At first, I thought it was a LFAR round.  That would have been more interesting.

@98Z5V now you'de need a lake too.

I'll do you a favor and take that '98-500 off your hands for $2,500.

I have never seen that thing in action, but I can imagine you pulling up to your truck, your blood adrenaline level through the roof and you immediately chuck your helmet so you can slam a few cans of Bud to settle your nerves just so you can speak coherently to others.... ala Zhvonte. 

Tell you what, since it scares you, I'll take it off your hands for even less. Evil Kneivel never rode it so let's do $1,750.

Damn, that brings back memories - like almost burning down his truck, with your brother...

^^^  THAT'S the damn truth, right there.  It'll kill you when you least expect it to TRY to kill you.  Might be random - but it's gonna get you.  Somehow.  It's always thinking, like that fukkin' Nokia phone in Transformers, waiting to go nuts...  

[SmoothAction]

You seriously need this. It's partly because it's a 250R (omitting the 'ES', haha) and it is befitting of your stage in life.... the golden floor boards! 😄😄 😄

I would almost be surprised if Tom doesn't already have this.

One EX put a cutting board under my pillow - at her house, her bed.  Woke up in the middle of the night, she was on a step ladder, beside the bed, holding a bowling over her head...  

The Crazy EX struggle is real, brother.  I just bring on that kinda shiit...
