Shooter Rests Price Change

Hey all. Of course there is nothing to report on any rats showing up. Mainly I wanted to inform everone that I have had to raise the prices on the deluxe shooters on wheels, due to increase in material prices, mostly the wheels. I will only be building 2 more on the 14" wheels and I will have to have $175 for them. I will have a few available on 10" wheels that will sell for $155. Basic model will still be $65 and the ones I am mounting on shop stools are $85. Welcome to "Hope and Change"
Just seeing the sun today for the first time in 5 days due to freezing fog. Matbe 6 (?) weeks and rats might be showing. Keep in touch.

New Model Shooter Rest


Just finished a new model of my pivoting shooter rest. This is complete with a base and a padded seat. It will sell between $85 and $90 ( have to figure out my final cost yet ). Remember, I sell the basic rest for $65 without a base or padded seat. Seems like a good value for the extra money. I have some of all models available now.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr Its been cold here near Sisters. Down to -22 degrees last week. Warming up today with the warning of snow. I'll bet those rats are real deep in the ground.

Check your local Bi-Mart store for .22 ammo. They seem to have lots of HP Remington and some Peters and Winchester round nose lead. Have plenty of .17 HMR too.

Rats can show up by the middle of February at Burns. Thats only about 2 months away. Of course, shooting rats that early is not for the faint of heart. Most of our shooting is done from inside the cab with the heater on. I remember one day early last spring when Bill and I were shooting from my rig and we couldn't roll both windows down at the same time. The cold wind blowing thru would tear up your eyes before you could focus on the rats. So we took turns rolling down our windows. Still beats sitting in front of the TV.

Ice fishing around Burns is pretty good in Feb also. Makes for a nice break.

I will try to post more often . Merry Xmas to all and have a safe New Years.
