I won't give any details but I hit the lottery on customs this week.

About 3 weeks ago I picked up a Cooper in 6mm with Swarovski glass...

Well today I picked up the following

338wm built by mountain rifles inc
300 ultra built by RL Mathews (Mathews Guns LTD)
22-250 built by Mathews
7 mag built by carolina precision

All 4 are topped with swarovski glass. 3-12x50s on everything but the 22-250 and it has a 6-18x50.

Anyone want to guess what I'm doing in the morning, lol

Trading in the scopes?

Learning to spell 'today'...?

Yep. How am I doing?


Damn autocorrect on ipad

Filling in the details?

I'd sell'um.

Blasphemy!!

I can never bring myself to selling any gun.

I think its even worse on an iMac..just watch my posts

Icing your shoulder and regretting buying other peoples dust collectors?

Enjoying the 22-250 and suffering with the others?

Composing a 'for sale' ad?

Going to the bank.

Funny...

Selling a kidney?

I'm not recoil adverse. Plus the mags all have custom brakes. The 7mag will be getting a custom thread protector. In my opinion it doesn't need a brake due to recoil.

Besides, these are all cream puffs compared to my mossberg 835 with 2oz 3.5" loads.

I would say your looking for a new place to live because the Mrs. just found out.................

Well...aint that nice...

I forgot to add the smiley face, hope you know I'm just funnin' ya

Have a 7mm Weatherby and 264 Win Mag I'm fond of myself

I know what your wife will be doing in the morning...filing papers and finding someone to serve you...lol

Knocking over an armoured car?

anyone want to guess what I'm doing in the morning?

meeting with a divorce attorney...just a shot in the dark.

I have a wonderful wife who puts up with my shooting and hunting habits without complaint.

Range update

The 300 ultra shot a .5" group at a 100
The 22-250 shot .5" groups at 200 with cheap winchester 55 grains
The 7 mag shot a 1" group with 150 grain fusions

So. Need to work up some loads and we will have some shooters.

On a side not the brake on the 7 mag is definitely coming off. You could taste the powder after the shot. The 300 ultra was a little better but not ideal. It will definitely require earpro in a hunting setting.

you may have to post a pic of that 200 yard 22-250 target. I have to see that.
5 or 3 shot groups and how many? have to see it to believe it.

Dont you know that everyone shoots .25 moa groups all day long at 200 yards on the interwebs.

Suddenly when there are witnesses however..

I dunno...I agree with the OP...when its only shooting .5 with factory loads at 200 yards, some load development needs to be done....




Im gonna go eat some frozen OJ with a spoon, and shave my junk.....

That was a typo on my part. It shot a .5moa group at 200. (1" 3 shot group).

I did not take a pic of that particular group but I did take a picture of the 300RUM 3 shot group at a 100.


This is a group that my 6.5-284 shoots regularly.

If someone posts a pic of a .25" group how exactly do we determine if it was shot at the range they claim? Never understood target pics.

5-5shot groups on one piece of paper is easier to believe. Even if he shot it at 25yds.

TMI!
For me anyway but, for some guys....maybe not.

Don't you know by now? Everthing on the interweb is real!

I am happy for you. Please show us pictures of the rifles. I am a bit interested in the 338 because I used to talk to the smith.

Sincerely,
Thomas

You and me . . .

What model is the Cooper? I have two Varmint Extremes a 223 and 25WSSM and a 220 Swift ordered. They are scary accurate.

I have been on a M70 binge 10 in the last 6mos but my smith has an action and stock blank for either another 7X57, 6.5X55 or 25/06. I just can't decide.

You have an understanding wife....mine knows nothing, nothing but I need to try and explain the need for another safe.

Congrats on the purchases; I hope your shoulder & hearing survive!

I've found that you can get good deals on other peoples' customs vs building myself but I still like to waste my money on that elusive "perfect rifle" I know is out there someplace !
