I think I may be done for a while

[DrMike]

Touché! No doubt about the cost.

I had the opportunity to shoot a 460 Weatherby last week at the local gun range. It was quite pleasant to shoot--it did have a break on it. Standing 15 feet away pretty much sucked though. Every time the fellow shot, I could feel my teeth shake. Brass and bullets were a little spendy.

 

[BK]

The only way I will ever do a brake if it's on something that I will NEVER fire without hearing protection... Something like a tacticool .338 Edge.

I've said that 23 times.

Notice I haven't really pinned down what "a while" is!

Laughin'.

I have a fair number of rifles that I need to work up loads for, and I keep falling further behind. And I STILL need to buy a new (another) safe. And I keep going to the Defiance Arms website, looking at their actions...

Plus, there's that whole .17 RF thread... and you knuckleheads keep posting about Marlin .45-70s... and I want to get my BSA over .300...

 

[SJB358]

It is a good place to be! You surely need some range time with them!

45-70's can be found on chance and most of the time, you can find a decent deal on them too.

 

[BK]

I think so, though I'm still kicking myself for not jumping on the .45-70/.450 Marlin pair at the LGS a couple of trips back...

But that still wouldn't get the BSA over .300!

Well a 45-70 is just fun Kurt. Loaded light with some plinking type loads with some 2400 would make you smile and those bullets will still zing though about anything short of moose!

 

[BK]

Yep, I'm sure I'll end up with one or two... I really dig the Cowboy model, and I will probably start with a Guide Rifle if I can find one without ports.

There's tons of Guide Rifle around and you should be able to scoop a nice one pretty easily.

 

[DrMike]

Kurt,

I like the Cowboy model as well. However, I'm now eying a Model 86 Winchester. I suspect I'll see one of these follow me home shortly.

 

[BK]

I like them too, Mike, but they are just a touch rich for my blood. For similar money, I'd rather get a '71 in .348.

Oh, yeah, that too.

my smith has a defiance at his shop, very well built and would consider using one on my next build i used a bat on my last one which isnt done yet but i think the defiance is right there with it.

 

[DrMike]

I've shot a number of rifles built on Defiance actions during the past year, and it does make for an accurate rifle.
