Have a great time Vic and wishing you all the luck you need to score a Khukri!

Hey SteelFan, I was playing with the Chey Tac M200 the other day and I thought about you.

Hi Jimmie, how's things doing? I hope your Dad's better and your brother and his mate are on the mend? The Chey Tac M200 is good but massively expensive and a bit too heavy for me....check out Lawton Rifles...Barney sadly recently passed on but his son is doing a grand job at the reins...I am putting together a bit of a lighter .375 CT with one of their barrels on a BAT action which they did for me in a Mac Millan A5 heavy calibre stock. I would love one of Dean Machelis (?spelling on surname might be wrong ) special bi-pod's which have a high over the barrel postion like on the M200 as this for me was the best feature on the rifle...really made for a much more stable and controllable shooting platform...and am busy searching out some good bullets for ELR...Lawton sent me some dies and cases and I am looking forward to getting a load developed and seeing what it can do.

Dad, brother, and HillBilly are doing great, thanks for asking.

The Chey Tacs are definitely too much money. The one we have right now is on loan to us so that we can run it through the wringer, but I'm sure they want us to buy one. We were also playing with a .416 Barrett and a couple of really cool little short action custom wildcats. One is based on the old 350 Rem Mag, and the other is based on a shortened 404 Jeffery. Imagine a short barreled sniper system that is very lightweight, wicked accurate, and doesn't have a lot of muzzle blast. I'll send you an email about it.

The short action wildcats sound very interesting....as a business proposition I was thinking buying up some of the surplus AI .308's as we are now going .338 LM and re-barreling them for something "potent" would be a good way to go. So looking forward to the e-mail! Don't want to go too off topic here...will speak more by e-mail...glad to hear all are doing well though!

i like the idea of the test team....i wouldve done it different though. id contact people person by person, to people who you know beat on knives and are busse customers, be it armed forces or civis. i totally understand how all of you feel. i personally dont want a killa z id rather have the waki....
