I’d like to find another early L-61 Sako, get it scoped and sighted in before season starts. I want another 7 mag or a 300 Win mag. I’d take a Kleinguenther too.

Always. There will be several.

Nope. Did that last season. I figure it has to be carried at least 2 seasons before it's eligible for retirement Just gonna switch out bullets this season to keep things interesting....
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

I’m looking for another rifle. I want a bolt action with a wood stock, and preferably a compact or lightweight model in 7-08, 260 or 257roberts. Something like a model 7 CDL, Win m70 FWT compact, Ruger Hawkeye compact... My lightweight 308 Model 7 will still be my go-to gun, but it’s definitely not as good looking as something with wood furniture.
Wouldn’t mind getting another lightweight synthetic rig either though in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5PRC, 6.5x284, 7-08 or 7SAUM something like a Kimber Montana or Savage 116 Lightweight Hunter, though if I can save up a little my eye is really on a NULA or Seekins Havak Element. My 308 is a fantastic gun but with its short barrel and 2-7x scope it’s setup as the perfect gun for Appalachia, not for longer range shooting.

Hunting season doesn’t end until Feb 10th for me. But I should have a McGowen prefit 6mm creedmoor for a T3 arriving around that time.

Yep, I'll have it today, even though our group decided last night to not renew our lease. So for now I don't even have a place to hunt with my new rifle.

I didn't until a week or so ago and bought a 308 Mauser M12. Nice rifle.

Yep, I bought a Tikka T3X 6.5 CM at SW right before Christmas. I need to work up a load for it, and get it going this summer. 50/50 chance my bow caribou hunt with a buddy coming in from FL is cancelled so probably going to rifle hunt in a different area now using this rifle. I honestly think I’m done buying rifles for a while now, unless a 6mm Creedmoor I really like pops up somewhere.

Might swap out the 17" '06 barrel for a standard length 270 take-off barrel, but that's it.
Doubt I'll ever buy another gun.
Have more than I can shoot and keep up with now.

Sending this barreled action out to Dennis Olson for a custom stock: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...something-new-mexican-sr-98#Post14579716And am hoping to have it for coyotes & deer this fall. I’ve got a Gustaf 96 with a 7x57 tube that I’ll be sending out for safety, trigger, and stock refinement once that “Mexibob” is done. Have been thinking that I’m past due for a nice 9,3x62...

Well I just bought a tikka t3x stainless 308, so yes. In the shop right now having the barrel shortened. When I get it back I'll see if I like the sportsmatch or talley rings better. Then I'll see if the Swarovski z3 or vortex HD 1.5-8 fit the rifle better. Or maybe the leupy, 2-7 I have sitting around.
Hoping to get the 130 ttsx bullets to shoot well.

Probably not. I don't want to burn up my powder and primers, trying to figure out new loads. I'm all set on rifles, I think!

Hoping to score a nice Cooper or such. Don’t need anything but would like to have 1 high end rifle to pack the rest of my years. I always envy the guts who inherited dad or grandpas rifle with a life time of stories. Hope to have one to pass down that way.

In answer to the title of the thread, "probably". However, it will have to be one that a) I have ammo or components for; or, b) one of those that seems to now always have ammo on the shelves.

Yes, in fact the parts just arrived at the smiths a couple days ago so should have it back way before I get to actually hunt with it.

Let’s me see. I bought a Rutgers no1 in 405 winchester and a Weatherby mark v in 270 weatherby mag. But that was before you asked this question so problably yes. Looking at a custom Remington in 6-284. Hmmm Maybe. Edk

No, but I'll end up with a couple for sure.
