Rifle that haunts

[Oldtrader3]

It is ok, Scotty, I just wanted clarification, we each have out own soft spots.

Can I justify my 325WSM? Not really, especially when I realise that before I had it I had a 300WSM, three 356 Winchesters and a 358 Winchester. Would I want to be without it? Now that I have it, I wouldn't want to be without it. It doesn't kill elk or moose any deader than other cartridges, but it does give them a mighty blow. Everything considered, wildgene is correct:

Scotty NEEDS a .325WSM!!!...

...& a teddy bear... :mrgreen: :shock:

While on the thoughts haunt's,,,not a rifle, but a start.
Still dreaming of building a plinker on one of these.

The rifle that haunts me is a Win. Mod. 70CRF in 375 Ruger in a nice piece of walnut. I day dream about this rifle set up like an express rifle With Talley bases and quick release rings. The metal would be coated black Cerekote and it would have a 2nd stock like a Mcmillan for ugly conditions. 8) I actually found this exact rifle over on GunsAmerica minus the Cerekote for only about a grand. I missed the timing by less than an hour! I put in a back up offer but No Go. If I build that rifle it will cost me at least double that. Sigh!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I like them heavy bullets around 2700-2900. They really don't hinder me in my typical shooting max effective range and they do hit hard. The 325 is out in front, although, I do have a spot in my that wants to build the 35 Newton. It is hard fighting this affliction. I can't really say I am healing, but it is a good fight!

No doubt, I agree Scotty.
But man, it looks like a possible headspace nightmare to me also.

It's has to have about as much of a shoulder as a .416 Rem. when you compare the diameter of the cases at the body/shoulder junction. A .416 Rem. does have a belt but shouldn't you shouldn't really use it anyway when reloading.
