All of his rifles are "nice"... Just sayin. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

PaulBarnard Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 26,443 Metairie, LA	Originally Posted by clockwork_7mm_gator Originally Posted by PaulBarnard My nicest one is a Nosler Liberty that is in its 5th month at Nosler getting repaired. Once my second nicest came back from Christensen Arms repair center, it worked great. My third nicest, a Remington 5R 223, has also done well since I got it back from the Remington repair department. My cheap little Savage LWH has been extraordinary since day one, but it's not nice. What happened to the Nosler? I've heard a lot of good things but never shot one. It was very difficult to close the bolt on factory ammo and it was keyholing at 50 yards. At this point I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one of their rifles.

The gunsmith did all the work except for checkering. He also made the .404 Jeffery.

Of my guns, the 358 Win off a Mauser wins hands down. ......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
