Good eye Zipp. You must do that "what's different in these photos?" thing a lot. I also noticed that the rivet in the handle just behind the trigger is round on the mk3 and on the 2245 it is D shaped.

I'll take them both. Can I get them gift wrapped?

Yea, I own a short action 300 win mag, basically a necked down 300 win mag. A Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation gun. I love it. I have never shot anything with it. It was more of a dream gun. My dream was always to go on an elk hunk. So I bought the gun on a whim. I put a $600 scope on a $800 gun. I am sure it can do the job but it sits in the gun safe waiting for the day. Anyway, the rounds are about $38 a box of 20. That was my only point. Cheers.

Merc, a guy I met the other week at Physical Therapy just left for an Elk hunt. I need to find out what business he's in.

TheMercenary · 06-02-2011, 09:41 PM

Man, a guided hunt is expensive. $3500 to $5000 for a hunt. I will do one someday.

A guy at work today (a physical therapist, coincidentally) was having a going away party--he is moving to Alaska. We got to talking about manly man stuff and he told me about a local guy he knows who makes traditional longbows. I would love to get a traditional English longbow. Welsh archers could kill a combatant in full plate armor from 60 yards. With the Welsh archers, the English were known to defeat forces of ten times their size.

TheMercenary · 06-02-2011, 10:20 PM

Shot placement.

But hey, if you miss a charging Grizzly than what?

I never go into the back country without a gun. Shit, I don't go to downtown Atlanta without one either.

Flint · 06-02-2011, 10:22 PM

I believe at one point every English male was required to practice archery on Sundays. So, yeah. Shot placement.

TheMercenary · 06-02-2011, 10:47 PM

Only to kill the Welsh.
