@ktowncamo shows us the upgrades to the Nevadas, Idaho, Wyoming, and Briksdal, and intros a new shoe. Also, Vibram is working on a sole that will drop weight 20-40%, but that’s next year.
They have any idea when they will be available? How did the gun feel and look overall? I’m more than happy to do a review of it for Rokslide especially if you can arrange a complimentary one preferably in 280 Ackley
I really want to order one in 280ai but that 22" barrel makes me rethink it.
Not sure if you’re using any of the modern powders, but I just cut 2 inches off the barrel of my 270 Winchester short mag, and I’m still getting velocities that used to take a 26 inch barrel to get.
The other thing is too, she told me there were 24 inch barrels available, but not sure if that’s caliber specific?

Hmmmmm, I never thought about it that way before, and I doubt that it’s exactly that way. For example I see Wade Lemon hunting there every year. They seem to be a top rated outfitter with waiting list yet they still come to the show. But off the top of my head he’s really the only high profile one that I recognize.I have a question about all the outfitters that you see at these shows. Do they come to the show to drum up business because they aren’t good outfitters, because they are new, or because they feel at a show they can ask more money and get it?
The reason I ask, is that I want to do a Dall sheep hunt. I see many outfitters here that offer Dall sheep, but none of them are guys that have been recommended to me before. So I assume that the good outfitters are so busy they don’t need to advertise, leaving the lesser outfitters needing clients and hence they come to the shows. Am I interpreting this situation wrong?

I agree that there are some well known outfitters there (aka Lemon), but it would seem the vast majority are guys I’ve never heard of. And after walking the expo for 2 days now (first time attendee) I was surprised by how many outfitters are there. It almost felt like every other booth was an outfitter. Ultimately I will likely be using a service like epic or fool to book this hunt, but remain curious on why these specific outfitters are the ones at the show and often some of the more highly recommended one don’t show.
Can’t wait to see a mullet/flatbill hybrid in the wild.
