New rifles

[tyson22250]

Looking to purchase two new rifles for this years hunts. I want to purchase a Weatherby accumark .257 weathereby magnum, for white-tail and possibly muley but also a 7mm remington magnum. I sold my 7 as a guy wanted it bad and offered me more money than it was worth so i thought what the heck. Now that i havent had my 7 for half a year I feel a void with in not having that caliber. I have been looking into a Winchester model 70 extreme weather ss and was wondering if anyone had any inputs on this model. Tell me what you think!

Man I want a new Winchester pretty bad too. I have handled an Extreme Weather in 7RM and what a nice hunting rifle. I would like to have another 7RM but would likely opt for a Sporter. Love the big 7. Scotty

I would be the last to put the kibosh on somebody buying guns, but there's a pretty fair overlap between a .257 and a 7 mag. I think I'd try to either go smaller on the small end or bigger on the big end... ie .240 Weatherby or a .300 Magnum of some sort.

Oh, and Scotty, I was awfully close to dropping the hammer on an EW in .300WSM this weekend... I might not be able to resist when I go back next weekend. I'll let you know how my addiction fares.

Then new winchesters are amazing. I used to be a remington man until I bought a sporter in 300 win mag and just picked up a stainless featherweight in 270 last week. The 300 win mag is showing a lot of promise with 165 accubonds. I can't wait to get the 270 shooting.

I wanted an extreme weather but I think I liked the stainless featherweight better. I am a sucker for walnut and stainless. If I want synthetic I think I will put the stainless featherweight in an edge.

Kurt, knowing you, I imagine we will be seeing pictures of the EW 300WSM soon enough!!! Scotty

My son's 300 WSM EW SS is sitting there with a clean bore, skim bedded, trigger adjusted, and Leupold dual dovetail mounts on it just waiting for some glass to sit in between the rings and be shot! :mrgreen: Now Kurt doesn't that just get the old blood flowing? You know you want one!!! :shock: :lol: 8)

Yes I do want one! Realistically, the last thing I need is another .300 Magnum, but what does need have to do with anything?

JD, I didn't add the .30WCF and .300 Savage. And I gotta get me a tacticool .308, too!

Yeah, maybe a touch of OCD!
