Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
What time are you going to Ark? I'm thinking about heading down there to see if they can get me a new hunting rifle with enough time for me to set it up before first rifle.

I want to switch to 6.5 Creedmoor and have a threaded barrel. I like Savage stuff, and people recommend Bergara.
I weighed my Savage Axis in .308 with Vortex Diamondback scope, Boyd's thumbhole wood stock, and bi-pod tonight right at 10lbs.
The Bergara stuff seems like it all starts at $2k and all weigh at least 9lbs. I can get a Savage Axis II for $500. However, for $1,500 I can get a Savage Ultralight with threaded barrel that weighs under 6lbs. That's extremely attractive to me since I want put my heavy can on the end.
More than I want to spend (at the moment), especially since I'd buy the same scope to go with it, and I want to upgrade my binos. But it'd get me a fully set up back up rifle (what I have now) that I can let new hunters use. I'm bringing my cousin with me for first rifle and it'd be great to just hand him my already set up rifle with dope chart on the lens cap and everything.

Oh yeah, I weighed my muzzle loader with sling at exactly 7lbs and it is very comfortable to carry.
Went down to Ark and ordered stuff. Nice to see MrPrena for the first time in at least two years. They said they've been cruising around 24 hours on background checks.
I swung by Sportsman's (Thornton) on the way and there was a big line at the gun counter and still the most empty shelves I've ever seen for ammo.

Nice seeing you again!
I did the same thing. I went to Sportsmans' while on the way home. No handgun ammo at all.
I called USA Liberty around 4pm, and they told me that it can vary 4 to 24 hours on Wed. It will be a 2 trips to Ft Collins.
22 hr wait as of 4pm.
I gotta go to Ft Collins again tomorrow.
Does anyone know the estimated current wait time?
20 hours
Don't be stupid!!!!!
3:23 as of the time of this post
