I love Weller, but thought the single barrel was terrible. Really disappointed with that one. But 107 is probably my favorite next to EH.
Any of the old forester stuff is overrated in my opinion.
Lil Book I thought was terrible.
New Riff is not great either.
I have a meat you maker grinder, that thing is a beast. Just ground up a doe this morning. Well worth it and doesn't take up a ton of space.
Had cheaper ones in the past and they are nothing compare to this one.
To give a cliff notes version.
Did an Ibex Combo. Got a 38 inch Gobi and a 42 inch Altai.
It was an amazing experience, definitely an adventure, and I would say it compares to my sheep hunts. Probably not as physical but the stalks were amazing, the basins and ridges we were glassing were...

I didn't realize Carter's had got that high. He used to have a great success rate but I haven't talked to him in 4 year or so, so dated information.
Andre at Willow Creek is a pretty solid guy, and I do know 2 people who have gone with him and got their ram.
