Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone have left the building ( body ),------actually years ago!
However, I dont listen to "Pink", I dont drink Pepto Bismol, and no Savage Rascals are allowed into my husbands man cave. Although he has passed, I know he would agree
You and your family like the 243 for its intended purpose. So if you want the same thing, only different, you might want to consider the 240 Weatherby or the 244 H & H ( not to be confused with the 240 Apex ) They are both like having a 243 on steroids .
Other folks have suggested something...
Thank you Jim
I had a short window of time to respond earlier
Gerry.
using your own words about the 300 Wea. "probably the most sensiable of any of them"
I agree.
But if you want a 270 Wea, in a Weatherby Rifle, just get it. I would, life is too short. It is not the only rifle you own...
Cheyenne ask me to rely to you Gerry, and off the top of my head
Sako makes nice rifles and left handed models but not in Weatherby calibers. The 85 Finn II are nice however--left handed, 270 win and 300 win--6 and 7 pounds--22 and 24 inch barrel ( you mentioned a shorter barrel wish than the...
Guy, I honestly dont remember them all. Started hunting before I was ten in Arizona and thanks to my husband I was able to travel and hunt many different animals in many different places. So with approx 80 years of hunting behind me I will just list the ones that seem to always come to mind...
Guy,
Actually----I wasn't joking and sent several emails so as to assure that you would be able to have ammo available to use in the rifle while there and that the rifle itself was what it was advertised to be, plus a couple other issues.
I thought it would be very unique to have a rifle that...
Guy being a product of the 30's and 40's everyone had a 30/30 and it was visible in the rear window. Of course our trucks then didn't have back seats, or 4 wheel drive on the fly or all wheel drive or power steering and if you were born and raised on a farm you made sure you got the middle...
several here have the Sako, but in the 308 Cheyenne maybe that is why they have not posted. But yes, the Sako will serve you well. Did you ever get that 308 Sako that was coming your way or did they change their mind ?
You should be o.k. with the Pedersoli. I have been too their shop. Nice...
I will answer for her since I have been working on this for her
As of today it is between a Krieghoff 'optima" and "trumpf"
If she is also able to do both now, I would probably suggest to her, a double 30-06 over 20
nice caribou and wolf rifle with the upland bird hunting option.
We do have a...
Don, in past years we hunted them inland and coast in Alaska, and inland in Canada and Russia
Speaking only from my limited exposure I prefer the hunts where you fish. All the areas are beautiful --Brooks, MacKenzie, Kamchatka, Kodiak, but the coastal bears in Alaska, seemed the largest to me...
6.5 x 55--7 x 57--the animal will never know the difference. but you have a Creed, so grab a 7 x 57. You dont need it anyway so might as well get something that says 7
where are you / still in Oregon ?
And you would be correct. My son also prefers that combination over the 156 Norma.
Old habits die hard Scotty
He says he can do anything with that load I can do with mine only at longer distances
Scotty, just a quick question. Where is your son now, is he, in country ? You and your wife...
thats o.k. cheyenne. It is a guy thing. The new girl is young, pretty, is more agile and fast and it is easy to forget who they originally brought to the dance.
Did Scotty move to Utah, he has both of them Lol
To the O.P., sorry for the diversion, lets get back to the original question...
Great point Earle.
And I feel the same way about the the Swede. I have yet to find a Mule deer that can withstand a hit from my 6.5 x 55 using the 156 Norma loaded bullet. Check out the S.D. on that combo. Admittedly the 156 Norma load is a stout load compared to factory loads in the...
