Brian, I am very interested, my PM is still sitting in the outbox though. Tell me more. Jimmy

I hadn't seen the used one before. The one I waited on at first was in the same condition, from Cabelas, with a Vari-X III on it for $599. I want one but the same goes for the secnd from Wholesale Hunter. They are asking too much. If I can walk into Guns Galore in Killeen Texas, right outside of...

Dubyam, Thats exactly why I've been thinking about a Colt. Yes, it is easier to find in 30/06 than the Steyr. I've spent the past few months looking. When I first started I passed on a used one at Cabelas for $599 because I'd like to find a new one. Well a week later I found out that unless I...

Thats a possibility, budget is also a concern right now. A Like NIB Colt with a Jewell installed is going to run me a little more than half what the 24B will.

I've been out of the loop for a while and while I've been gone I've been thinking alot about a new rifle. I had decided on a Steyr ProHunter Blued 24" in 30/06, but after spending a few months look for one that is either new or used I've decided that maybe I might want to find something more...

For a well put together custom the non-factory bottom metal doesn't hurt it. As for the stock I was betting that it is a Featherweight since they are easier to work with as they are not inletted for the barrel lug. However on a second look if you look at the second picture you can see the spot...

I snagged a NIB Jw-15 off of auctionarms for $100 shipped. It might be a Norinco but it was a well made copy of the CZ and just as accurate. Being NIB even though they haven't been imported for a long while was really cool too. I had been looking for a deal on a 22 like this as a cheap to shoot...

Thanks Mike, I have always like the Pre64 actions. The quality of workmanship that was put into them is very high even by todays standards. Nowadays people talk about floating barrels but if you look at a Pre64 M70 Standard with the barrel lug that has the tension screw going into the base of...

I don't know Mike, looking at the components whoever did it didn't go the cheap route. It is definately a "Classic" Dangerous Game Rifle. I'd say it was a Featherweight, at one point it had a larger reciever sight by the look of the clean and rounded stock cut out. I like the fact they kept...

Wow!!! That is a really nice rig! I like the caliber too, powerhouse and enough rifle so that it won't thump as much as some. Out of the budget though. I love Pre64s, I don't mind conversions if they are done right and this one looks like it is well worth it. For LHs I saw a really large number...

Up to $700 on rifle, pretty much stuck on a Steyr SBS, Fiberglass stock, 30/06, 24" Barrel, blued or stainless. Prefer Blued but if its stainless there is DIY cerakote. Optics I am undecided on. Its going to be a VX6, VX7, or a Nightforce.

Your losing your edge LOL I should have jumped on the used one Cabelas had for 599.

I agree it is a great price, but it's a 20" :(

Thanks for all the input, I'm just kind of stuck on a 30/06 for this one.

Dan, I think I'll pass on the 280AI, never been much of a 7mm guy myself. Yeah I think your right, there is a little difference in the cost of baking and a VX6. But if anyone has a lead on a Steyr ProHunter, 24", Fiberglass, in 30/06 it would be appreaciated. I would still prefer new but...
