A dream rifle... sorta

[DrMike]

Now, Scotty, don't let your jealousies eat at your heart.

Kurt,
That's going to be a really nice packing rifle! Is there a McSwirley planned for it? If so, what color combination?
Scott

 

[BK]

Probably not. The stock that's on it is pretty light, and as much as I like McSwirleys, they're pretty heavy. I may see if it will drop into one of the EDGE tech stocks I have... I'm not sure of the contour on this barrel. If it's Mountain Rifle contour, they will fit. (middle two)

 

[nvbroncrider]

Go with the AI. I did.

 

[BK]

No gun safe is complete without a .280 stowed in it.

I say a 7WSM................... 280's are for girls...

Just kidding, my jealous side reared up there :mrgreen:

Dude, seriously, how many 7 WSMs do I need?

Good point Kurt.. I rescind my comment about the WSM. I think if you spent some time with your 7WSM's, they would make you a little jaded though. Mike is the evil person that turned me onto them.. They are really a fantastic cartridge.

I do have a 280AI loaded cartridge Jim gave me on my way back home from Oregon, sitting on my bench. Very cool cartridge.

 

[Hegland]

Great find Kurt. I've always found those Ti rifles intriguing myself. Hope it performs well for you.

I do agree with the others, though. A new barrel in .280 would be pretty sultry!

 

[BK]

sultry

Sultry! I like it!

 

[BK]

or a 6.5-06

I have a blued ADL synthetic .270 that's going to going in for a 6.5-06 tube, one of these days. Jmad has just about got me talked into sending it to Blagg Rifles for a Benchmark tube.

Kurt,
That OD stock with the checkering would make that a cool rifle..... or should I say sultry! 8) That's why this is my forum of choice. Not only have I learned a prodigous amount about rifles, handloading and general shooting I get to learn new vocabulary like SULTRY and CURMUDGEON. Some how those two words don't fit well together.

 

[Woodycreek]

Kurt now has two rifles that I would like to get my hands on! That TI would make a nice 6.5-06AI :idea:

Wait 'til I get a barreled action for it. We'll get together and burn some gunpowder in it. I really like it, although I must confess, just from playing with it as it sits, I think I like the KS (tan) stock a little better.
