I'd love to go to shot if I had a way in. DSC puts on a good show.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Possibly going on Sunday. Will be my first time. How many items are for sale, and how much of it is just display items?

Some optics for sale, some for display only. I don’t think rifles are for sale on the spot to take but I’m not 100% on that. I have never seen anyone filling out paperwork. They are for sale. I imagine you just make whatever arrangements are easiest. Most probably buy and have shipped to FFL. I checked out a $175,000 Purdey 28 gauge. I’m guessing shipping would be free.

And I thought I was important with my collection of Tikkas.

I bought another Swarovski scope, great DSC discount at the Europtics booth, plus a free Custom elevation turret. Hunting scope
but PLENTY for the PRS/Tactical stuff there.....SIG was VERY impressive this year
Almost ordered a new Proof Research rifle, BIL talked me down, even after a few beers.

I lack the Rocky for the slam. Going to stick it out with the draws/raffles a few more years. I just can’t see paying the freight on a Canadian bighorn hunt - for several reasons.

Ed Any insight you wouldn’t mind sharing about outfitters you were considering and why you chose who you chose? You can pm me if you wish. Headed to SCI in a couple of weeks and a mtn goat is top on the list thanks.

Agree, I need a Stone and Bighorn to complete my slam...I just turned 42 and am running out of time on my "want to"do this. Found one deal on a California Bighorn for $28k...yep it's a lot of money--but a good guide in WY will cost 10k and who knows when I'll draw...I haven't yet...just glad I did my Dall when I did. The Stone on the other hand...well...that's going to hurt like dental surgery....
