Well my friends gunshop got hit by lightning several weeks ago and caught on fire.Luckily,it was at night and nobody was there or injured. It didn't burn much,but everything has smoke damage,so he has been doing business out of his house while waiting on his insurance co to take care of his claim and the owner of the building to repair it.
He saw me driving in town today and told me my gun had came in about a week after the fire and he had it at his house,so I went out and got it.
I had to have the Savage Custom Shop put it together since it was a discontinued model,a 110FLP 25/06 Tactical. I already have the same gun in 300WinMag and love the way it shoots,and figured a 25/06 would be the perfect deer and varmint gun for me.
Now I just have to wait for Choate to make my Tactical stock,Fred Choate sent me an email the other day and it will be a month before they make it.
And if I can just figure out what scope to put on it,I've narrowed it down to a Bushnell Elite 6500,Zeiss Conquest,IOR Valdada,Swarovsky,or maybe a Leupold VX3-but I'm just not much on the Leupold's they are overpriced for what you get,IMO.
There are just too many good scopes out there today,It's hard to pick one!
I'm putting on a one piece Ken Farrell base,and will probably use Burris Signature Zee Rings.
So I guess I have some time to work up some custom loads,and wait for everything to get here.Then I will give a full range report on it.
