Guess what I just ordered...

[RanchRoper]

Got one...

[fortyshooter]

That's a good one!

[RanchRoper]

Had a long chat with my dealer today, he says to hang on, his gun shipments are ready to move, freight arranged, etc. The US gov't changed agencies who issue the export licensing last year, and they have swamped with orders. His license will be issued very soon, it's cleared all the hurdles. Once that happens, his shipments from Cimarron, Colt, Taylors, etc hit the road to Alberta. My rifle is in the shipments. So I will wait a while longer and with luck be shooting this rifle sometime soon. Birthday in June, maybe then?

your dealer has to be every bit as frustrated over it as you are .... hopefully you are in the short rows

[RanchRoper]

He is very frustrated, he has lots of dough tied up in shipments he said. He's a good guy, I have not paid him a nickel yet and likely others haven't either. I offered a down payment last year, and he said let's just get it ordered. Same when I bought my Henry and revolver, he just ordered it and I paid when it arrived. So I don't really want to stiff the guy and buy somewhere else. Not his fault and he came through twice before with no issues.

Fingers crossed for you and him RR. You have been VERY patient.

[RanchRoper]

It will be worth it. The 250 yd target board beckons for some Quigley style shooting...

Yes Sir!! ..." Roy "
Will be waiting for that range report, or pics of a perforated bucket!

[RanchRoper]

Haha....better be a big bucket for me to even see it out that far...

[Rifletom]

Good to hear there is some sort of movement with your rifle RR. Hang in there.

[RanchRoper]

I'm hangin'...

[RanchRoper]

The licensing in the US was approved and done this morning....shipments can move now I am told. Getting closer...

[markiver54]

That's great news RR!
Bet it won't be long now.

[ESquared]

Progress is progress! Great work at hangin' in there!

[JEBar]

another step in the right direction

[BigAl52]

Gives you more time to get that yard work done.

[RanchRoper]

Speaking of yard work, there is a stretch of lawn that is always a pain in the butt to mow, uneven, rocks, etc.

Anyhow the horse pen got bigger on the weekend. Problem solved.

[BigAl52]

Badger is smiling he gets more grass to eat

[RanchRoper]

Ate...past tense. That little patch is now a barren wasteland...

[BigAl52]

At least you can see the rocks now
