Now that I'm flying, I'm down to only one choice, as Ready's firestick will occupy the other spot in the gun case. Unfortunately, I've got 3 rifles that currently need bloodying:
* Marlin XL7: I'm working up a nice load with 165 TTSX's at around 2,800.
* 700 Classic in .300 Savage: It likes the Steelhead 130 TSX load, but I just shot the best group of my life with it this morning, using Hornady 150 SP's at around 2,680. Either load is more than hog worthy.
* Mauser 98 in 7x57: I bought it in STL last Summer when someone nonchalantly suggested I stop by Trail Creek Trade Company... It's more than serviceable with 175 RN's. Heck, it might even be Poobah-approved. Still, it's got iron sights, & I'm not sure how my eyes would do with it in low light.
If I went according to time in the safe, the XL7 would go. But with the way that 700 Classic is shooting, it just may jump ahead in the batting order.
