Phil - I run RL16 with 180 gr Accubonds. Seems like my Tikka guns like the set up for sure! I realize that doesn't necessarily answer the .166 Hammer question though? Haven't gone down that road yet...
Hope you received the brass I sent!

Welcome Tom! Where about in NW Minne are you from? I am born and raised in Grand Forks, now living in Ottertail County, MN. I spent a bunch of time in my younger years chasing hockey pucks in western Canada. Loved the people up there!
Arneson's Resort on Lake of the Woods. Actually, there are a number of top quality resorts on the southern side of the lake. Once the border opens, the northwest angle is a even more remote option. Great winter fishing...walleye, sauger, pike, and a bonus burbot!
I have not. Can't say I have been through torrential rain, but have seen no issue with the couple light rain events. Wind is no issue with the Kodiak. Very sturdy. Has also done well in the snow, as well.
I have a 10x14 Kodiak Canvas Flexbow style tent and love it for two guys. Plenty of space. Heated with a Big Buddy Heater well into North Dakota December hunts. Also have the vestibule which creates even more protected outdoor space for cooking.
Phil,
I've got close to 50 sitting on the shelf that I'll send you (to simply pay it forward). You pay shipping?
I need some good Carma for the fall! Mostly Nosler, and some Winchester.
PM me for details.

Thanks for the heads-up! Man, this is getting scary! It takes a lot of diligence before purchasing these higher priced items these days. Idiots are ruining classified buying.
