Can anyone tell me the expiration date on this TGR special? Also do these rifles need custom bases or 'off the shelf' bases? If I've missed answers to these questions, I apologize in advance.

TIA

I believe its runnig till the end of the year. I also believe it takes Remington 700 bases.

 

[m1aggie01]

Thanks.

Spot on Russ. The NRA special runs until December 31st. The rifles are contoured the same as a Remington 700 but you will need to use 2-piece bases--the actions are not the same length.

 

[m1aggie01]

Thanks guys. Is there a lead time? I'm thinking a 7-08 would be nice but first I'd have to move out a semi-custom Spanish Mauser in .308.

 

[Nosler4]

Normally the lead-time is about 3 to 4 months but we have quite a backorder at the moment--we're looking at about 6 to 7 months! But as long as your order is in before Dec 31 you will get the NRA discount.

 

[m1aggie01]

Is it a prepay or pay at shipping? TIA

 

[Nosler4]

Pay at shipping!

We take down your credit card info but we don't run anything until the rifle is complete. We call you about a week before the rifle is finished so you know of the charge, can give us a different card number, send a check/money order etc.. Also, if you would like to send payments while you are waiting in line, we can hold that in an account for you so you don't have a large balance due upon completion. We try to make it easy... :grin:

Man, you guys almost make it dangerous. Might be something to look at while I am deployed the next time around, knowing I can pay on it, as it is getting built! Scotty

 

[m1aggie01]

Ahhh hells bells. That is too easy. I suspect a guy thought that 'pay as you wait' bit up so it can be 'hidden' from the boss lady! :mrgreen: That makes the decision so much easier b/c I don't have to get in a hurry to sell any other toys.

Now if I can find somebody to loan me a 7-08 for a few range sessions so I can see if I really like the caliber. $1500 is a bit much to spend on a hunch of a caliber in my opinion.

Thanks

m1aggie01,

The 7mm-08 is that good of a cartridge. You'll enjoy it.

 

[russ808]

Have to agree with Mike on that one. Great round.

One of my friends regularly takes moose, black bear and mule deer with his 7mm-08. He doesn't find it necessary to shoot more than once most times, and the game doesn't run all that far. Sweet little cartridge.

That's a great round. Almost identical ballistics as 270 Winchester with about 2/3 the recoil. I shoot it in a handgun (Thompson Encore).

the 7mm-08 is darn good, almost as good as the 260rem :mrgreen: load it wit h100 grain partitions or ttsx's @ 3200 for deer and load the 140 partitions or AB's for elk.....BETTER BC and BETTER sectional density and less recoil
