Bits and pieces are coming in slowly but surely for my ever increasing rifle battery.

I've got a Rem700 SA donor laying around, but I could go horse trade it for a LA beauty from the 60's. Just trade fodder currently.

All I can think of to add would be a mid-weight boom stick (375 H&H) or mid-heavy long range dedication rig (300WM or something freaky)


Ideas? Improvements?

I never could get into battery powered rifles like the etronix...

I wouldn't be surprised if we see it again. The cost of electronics has fallen so much that it's probably cheaper to produce an electronic rifle over a mechanical one. Plus you get the near zero lock-time, ultra-light microswitch trigger, increased security so only the register shooter can fire it, and the ability of the government to remotely turn off your gun.

A 223

Actually the 3 listed are fairly redundant.

No dubble deuce centerfires? WTF?

Kind of what I was thinking, but given that I have seven 308's I can't say too much.

Anyway, I'd think if I wasn't comfortable taking on something with a 7mm-08 I'd want a good bit more than what the others could provide.

Well,

an AR10 and a 338WM

450 Marlin

Snake

There is some 'overlap' as I like to call it. That just means one can be a suitable back-up for another

30-06 is for heavy pills and bear/elk/moose

270 is featherweight beater in SS for wild mountain adventures/sheep/goat

7-08 is sort of in between the two mentioned above


Guess the donor action can be used as trade fodder for a big-bore.

I just use a k-22 for a deuce deuce

I have nothing against a 30-06, but if really need more "whomp" than my usual 243 to 308 spectrum stuff I'll fire up my old Sako 338 mag and get the 250 Partitions rockin' again.

rem 700 CDL in .223 for plinking and varmints

Nula mod 20 in 7mm-08 for sheep and moose and anything else I want to shoot with it

Rem 700 in MPI stock scalloped and skeletonized to make it weigh a svelte 7 lb.s 4 oz.

Rem 700 .338 in a McMillan for when thoughts of the boogeyman make me want something medium caliber

Marlin 45/70 as a knockaround take anywhere rifle

Win. trapper .30-.30 to get rid of the excuse "I didn't have a rifle handy" well duuuhhh get a handy rifle

Nylon 77 .22 and Ruger 10/22 and a brick of .22 ammo so I can get the boys outside at the cabin so I can bother their mother danged popsicles melt too fast in summer

I think I will have everything pretty much covered. Good thing you did not ask about target rifle battery.

Verwy Verwy N I C E .


You may have just flung a CRAVIN on me.

I have some to choose from for swapin.

What does "need" have to do with it ? I need a good rifle to hunt. I need another one similar to it as a backup if the main rifle goes down. I've never needed my backup, but I've hunted with others who needed one.
I also "need" a lighter rifle to back pack hunt. It needs to be extra tough and reliable, etc.
I "need" a little heavier one with an appropriate scope for those extra long shots.
Then I "need/want" to play with the latest Scout Rifle made by Ruger. Might learn something useful from the adjustable stock, or the new variable scout scope by Leupold.
I need a good .22 rimfire with iron sights for hunting squirrels. But I also "need" a very accurate one with a scope for long distance target shooting or plinking.....
Eventually, I'll "need" a bigger gun safe....
Heck, I "need" more time to shoot and hunt more. E

Without going into details, I pretty well have everything covered for NA, including big bears and two-legged varmints.

Perhaps it's a bit paranoid but, especially considering the latest from barry's henchmen, if I had a battery, which I don't, I certainly wouldn't be bragging about it in cyberspace. I don't think it's anyone's business what kind nor type nor caliber of rifles I own. If I owned any, that is.

I could really use another deer rifle....
