I can see the long work hours..
I can see not spending money on drugs...


But not spending money on beer ....dude.....we need to talk...

He didn't say he's not drinking it, he's just not buying beer.

^Precisely. Jungle Juice parties need no beer...

I know high school kids and college kids who make 70k a summer working on seiners. Just saying...

Be real hard for me to stay in school if I had a summer job like that. Heck I'd take the rest of the year off....grin

I've kind of bagged this idea. But... the 280 is being reborn next summer.

Think 7RM, Mickey MR...

Stick with the .473" bolt face and go 280 AI.

You're welcome.

It's a toss up for me, either will do what I'm looking for. The Arkey would be a great one.

PITA and somewhat expensive to convert, especially since you would still have a DBM. I'd sell it in the classifieds and buy an SPS Stainless 7 Mag.

If the DBM is something that you like and want to keep, then I'd say dremel away!

The better advice though, is to sell the gun, get one without DBM, and put good money into it to make it better.

If necessary due to finances, just put some cheap synthetic dremeled takeoff on the DBM until you can trip it.
