Would it be possible to get one in hand even if it was a blem or prototype for a moose hunt by 10/18 or so?
My season opens 10/28.
I'd be in if there was some wiggle time to zero and practice.
My backup will be to buy a 6.5cm T3x if I get my 223 rokstok in hand otherwise I'm taking my SRS-A2.
My vote is in the horse before the cart bracket. I won't buy an r8 if the rokstok doesn't materialize but I will buy an r8 if it does. It seems like the 12 voters in this group could be reached out to to see if they are "will buy if it materializes" versus "may buy if its on the shelf". That might get it done.
