I have Carlson's and Briley for a Browning an a Remington. I like 'em both. Though the Briley extended models I bought for shooting clays are awfully cool, with their color coded ends.
I MIGHT have gone a little overboard, what with IC, LM, Mod, IM, LF and Full. When I get back into...
I can't say I'm too butthurt about the list... I probably would have included the Whelen over the Lott, but apparently the .458 has changed the PH world more significantly then the Whelen has change the NA market. And AIs are different critters than wildcats, so I'm not bent out of shape by the...
I completely understand the 'need' for a new rifle....
Not knowing your buddy's likes, we're kind of operating blind, but if I only had an '06 and wanted something deer/antelope class, I'd probably be looking at the .243/6.5 Creedmoor/7-08 class. You mentioned Tikka (which I have absolutely no...
If they're looking for suggestions, 700 Mountain Rifle (wood stock, no DBM), 700Ti, and 870 Wingmasters with metal triggerguards.... .222, 6mm, .260, and .280 rifles with decent twists...
Yeah, fire season was something, wasn't it? I didn't work for almost two weeks. I was 'evacuated' for about the same amount of time. I drove home during the day and got a bunch of stuff done... I got probably 300 .45 ACPs, 500 9mm, and 450 .380s all ready to charge and seat bullets in. Wet...
Hello, Doc! I forgot my password, and was unable to log on. That awesome Fotis guy pulled some strings and got me a new password.
Sure have missed this place. Do you guys still torture Scotty with new and interesting rifles?
I like Leupy Dual Dovetail mounts. I'd like Talleys more but between being a genetic freak (nearly 15" LOP and I still have to slide the scope way forward) and having a bunch of scopes with fat oculars they don't always work well for me.
I don't have any answers for you, but it sounds like a cool rifle! At some point (probably after I fry a factory .22-250 barrel) I'd like to get a relatively fast twist barrel in .22.250AI.
This thread reminds me, I need to get a bunch of triggers replaced. Probably going to swap out the scope on my lighter 7 WSM for something else... The Conquest that's on it has always given me fits. Need to get scopes mounted on two M70 short mags, a .270 and a heavier 7 WSM.
I won't be buying any anytime soon, but...
An original 700 Varmint in .222
