Robby could you asking Hawkins when their 1 pcs. scope rings are coming out for Kimber rifles?
 
@mwoolsey5

Thanks for this. Any idea what web site the pre-orders are being hosted? UM or other web location?

Tomorrow Monday?
I asked ZT about preorders first, and they were the ones who told me the THLR reticle option would only be sold/distributed only through UM. I swung around to UM right before leaving to confirm preorder and was told Monday at 9 AM PST, which I assumed to be tomorrow. If anyone is still around, please feel free to confirm with them.

Not sure if it will be UM or S2H website.

Copy, thank you!
 
I was impressed with this year's show. I had a lot of great conversations with many people I was looking to converse with.

Jake with UM was great and answered more questions than even asked.

Dioni with Deadfall Designs is always fun to visit with and his new pistol plate for bino systems is the perfect carry option in my book.

Eric at Blue Mtn Precision was very generous with his time and I look forward to working with him on a build in the future.

Had a good visit with Danny from Airlock and was able to check out his new .30 at the Arrowhead booth.

The crew at RRS were very patient as my group went back to their booth several times before we made our final purchases.

I spent quite a bit of time at the ZeroTech and Stealth Vision booths and was impressed with both the new Shoot To Hunt scope and the SV product line. Especially the 3-18 that ended up coming home with me.

We ended up at the TexKor walk-in cooler booth for a lot of laughs with the Texas boys and they definitely went home with heavier pockets.

All in all, the crowd was friendly and every vendor and outfitter I spoke with gave me their time and I never felt rushed off. The only thing I left disappointed with was not being able to find a NF NX6 to get my hands on.

I forgot about those Texkor walk in coolers. They definitely had my eye and good guys running that.
 
I am planning in going to the show next year. Can a guy get through it 1 day or does it take 2? I'm not the one to stop at every booth to chat. If something catches my eye, I'll stop and look.

You can definitely get thru it in 1 if you go all day and don't talk to a bunch of vendors. I like going for 2. We turn it into a mini vacation

I would say 1, unless needing to do some real deep research with multiple outfitters, and easier to do 1 on Thurs or Friday when less crowded.

It depends on how much stuff catches your eye and there is a lot to catch your eye. If you had an idea of what booths you wanted to visit before you got there it is possible. Thursday would be the best day to go for a 1 day experience, way less crowded = easier to talk to who you want, when you want.

First year was incredibly overwhelming. There’s so much stuff from so many different vendors it’s hard to know where to focus your attention. About half the booths are outfitters. If you are looking to book a hunting or fishing trip, I’d give yourself 2 days, if not I’d say you’ll be fine to do it in 1 day.

Walked by this booth Wednesday evening. 😳 I'm guessing he came up with the idea so kudos to him but his sales tactics were aggressive enough for me to almost tell him how I actually felt about them. I don't like being an ass so I kept my mouth shut.
 
Hit the show Wednesday and Thursday and sat in on two seminars. Daughter won a calendar which she's pretty excited about. Wasn't really looking at anything in particular but chatted up Trijicon, Tikka, Hornady, UM and bought a $14 beer. Not sure how much we spent on the whole trip but hanging with family for four days in Salt Lake was awesome. Both my girls saved $250 each to spend on stuff at the mall which they've been waiting for since last year. The hunt expo and Salt Lake never disappoint for a small family vacation in the middle of winter.
