Do you plan to stick with that stock?  I've always liked the wsm's.   Tagging along.

Yeah the buying the little things are pretty easy it is those scopes that hurt.   I have a spare vortex viper 30mm if you want to borrow tell you get your optics.  Not sure how long it is going to be tell you get something.

I've got a few lying around for Spring Bear and load development, thanks man I really appreciate the offer  :tup:

Planning on it, yeah.  I was fondling it yesterday and gosh do I like the short action along with the performance of a WSM  :drool:

I've got 300 190 grain Accubond Long Range to load up.

I've also got 3 boxes of factory Nosler ammo, loaded with the 180 ABs.  Gotta get quality brass somehow  :dunno:

well if you get the itch to try some bergers I'd let them go to you for way cheap! They are all the same lot (260 ct). My rifle likes the 210's so much better I won't shoot these anymore. 

Good luck. Looking forward to your range report.

Thanks, I'll post updates on load data etc. when I get to that point. 

Thought I was going to shoot this weekend but one of the ring mount screws broke.  Broke at like 4-5 ft lbs of torque.  Called Seekins and got offered to send it in for repair but it would take several weeks.  New screws are in the mail and might get them before the weekend  :dunno:

They're from Spokane guys, cut them some slack.  Those numbers and stuff can be confoozing :chuckle:
