Title: Picked up a new toy Saturday
Post by: statelinerut on August 27, 2007, 10:44:07 PM
Ran across this NWTF Ultra in 25-06 at the gun shop the other day and I fell in love. Went back at lunch today and brought it home. Man I am pumped. Cant wait to shoot it. Going to be trying the Hornady 117gr and the Fusion 120gr. Cant wait.

Will do vvarmitr. I wish it had been a National Elk Foundation Edition, but in TN that would have been really unique. This edition was manufactured in 2002. I believe this gun was won at a NWTF banquet and the winner never shot it, and traded it in on a different rifle. I am glad they did :biggrin:

I have to get rings in the next few weeks and get it scoped and I will post some range pics. I cant wait.

Yes iahntr it has the ejector instead if the extractor. I have a newer 223 with the extractor and I like the ejector a lot better.

Yeah, I got a .204 with the extractor, I like the gun, but I think I would like the ejector better. Too bad you can't have the option.
