Ryan, what are your thoughts on the Vampire vs say a lone peak or Anti?
HAHA, I loved the Smurfs when I was little.... That's its new name Papa Smurf!

I would take the Vampire over the AnitX. The bolt cycle on the Vampire is SWEET. The action feels well built, it has a captured firing pin and trigger hanger adjustments. The only downside of the Vampires is their footprint. I own an AntiX, and to me, it just feels cheap. I don't think it is, but when you run the bolt fast, it has chatter, the little bolt handle seems heavy to lift, and a PIA with gloves when it's cold. I have owned a few Lone Peak actions they are very well built. I was just playing with one at UM built by TS Customs. But I still feel the grittiness when running the bolt. There are better, stronger options now than TI like the Vampire or Vesper.

But if you don't need a big boy cartridge, just buy a TIkka.:)

It’s been a safe queen, since the 6UM and 33XC builds.

My friend asked me the other day, what do you need to hunt N America? I told him, 22lr, a good 6mm, and a big 338. You have excellent tastes.
