An old benchrest shooter I talked to a while back said he bought one when they first came out. His exact words were: "I couldn't sell that thing fast enough!" :chuckle:

I spoke to the guys at Volquartsen specifically about this gun. If you order one right now you are in for a about a 16 month wait. Its on my list though!

:drool: Not on my budget.

I want the round but, the more I looked into the B-mag the more I though I should wait. It is relatively cheap but, way to many grumbles. I am betting we see some other options in the not to distant future.

Post by: HighlandLofts on February 01, 2014, 10:52:52 AM: Cabelas in Marysville (Tulalip) had about fifteen boxes of 17 WSM ammo yesterday, If you need any you should call them first to see if there is any left.
