And don’t forget to tape on the scope caps.... Okay, another one I don’t understand. Why paint the screw heads with bright nail polish? The nailpolish is a witness mark, if the line of nail polish is offset on the head, the screw is spinning.

The vast majority of my customs, some 14 or so are 700s or clones with #3s in Classics, so I guess my answer to "most Campfire rifle" would be "most of my rifles." You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Oh, it has a Nightforce 2.5-10x42 NRX scope mounted in Seekins low rings. I can't get any closer to a Campfire Rifle than a "Campfire Special order" Last edited by VaHunter; 02/12/20.

Rustyzipper Campfire Tracker R Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 4,222 Misery	I have a Campfire special rifle. Remington 700Ti 260 bought from a true Gentleman here on the Fire. Won't be any photos and I don't know what it weighs. I have a much lighter gun in 308 coming. NULA in .308. This, coming from another Gentleman on the Fire. Thanks JH. Also have a 358 Winchester Savage 99 Brush gun circa '72. Then there is the really Campfire gun, a Savage 110, 30-06 rebore to 9.3x62, Again from a gentleman as all the previous guns.

It's a shooter and on the first hunt it killed 3 antelope with 3 shots. I still use it, but these days I'm more than happy with a factory Rem 700 7-08 in a McM Hunter stock. Light, accurate, relatively inexpensive. Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

I have a FX-II 6x36 with a post & duplex reticle my son ordered from the Custom shop on it. Barreled action, stock, and scope from three different members.

They just shoot! When I first became a member here, 243AI was all the rage! I built one, then a faux Ti in 7-08. I still want a 223ai in a "McFlame"!
