Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Why can’t they do that one in 7mm-08 instead of the Creed? Do all rifles need to be in 6.5 Creed now? Agreed, I would like to see this exact rifle chambered in .308 Win 👍.....Hb

Do all rifles need to be in 6.5 Creed now? Or, 270 Winchester......evidently. If you really want a true classic rifle, get a Winchester 1885.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Personally wish they would have skipped the two tone and gone either straight black or stainless. But that’s just me, and overall I think it’s a great looking rifle. Several examples on here of some nice grain as well. Congrats to the new owners...

I agree on the two-tone, but I wonder if maybe the limited edition version was a trial balloon.
Maybe if it sells out quickly we'll see an all-stainless version in regular production?

Couldn't help myself. I snagged one: No, you STOLE that one. I had that in my watch list. Good on ya!! Glad you scored on one with nice wood for a great price as well. I can't imagine you not "loving it".

Thanks! I figured I needed a partner for my Stainless Classic Select 280AI.
I was really surprised and happy to get it for that price. Sometimes it works out, but mostly it doesn't.

Such a soft market right now. I've seen some silly deals on Kimbers and Fieldcrafts lately. Good time to buy for sure! The third day owning mine...........I killed a nice Black Bear with it shooting the Hornady Factory American gunner 140gr BTHP at 285 yds. Such a sweet little round in my Favorite model of rifle!! Hard to go wrong.

Yep. It's a tough time to be selling guns.
I saw your bear kill. Congrats!
I'll have to give Gunner a try. I've mostly been shooting 140ELDM in the 6.5CM.
I'm anxious to get it and put a few rounds through it. My last 84M Classic was a 308, so I am anxious to compare the recoil with the 6.5CM. I'm thinking it will be a little less frisky.

Couldn't help myself. I snagged one: Lol....I put in a lowball bid on this and thought I actually might get it until you bid at the last minute 😁.....Nice snag at an outstanding price!...Enjoy!.....Hb
