Nope. I’m good. I am a hunter that likes guns, and I have all the tools I need for anything I could possibly hunt.

Nope, because I just replaced my Fieldcraft with a left handed Tikka 6.5 and a LH stainless Ruger 77 in 338-06.

That should do. Of course I'm looking for a 223 regardless.

No, I bought a Remington Gamemaster 760 in 30-06 from an older Gentleman friend in 1991, the Gentleman gave me a pound of imr-4831, a box of 165gr Speer hot cors, and a sleeve of Remington 9-1/2 primers in the green paper box, I have a spare bag of new WW '06 brass, the load recipe has been in the box of bullets along with the primers for near 30 years, I brought the rifle and cardboard box with the components to this farm when I bought it in 1998, have never fired the rifle, the old Man has died, I will work up his prescribed load and zero the old rifle 2 inches high at 100 yards using it's same 2-7 Redfield scope that's rode in the Weaver bases and rings all this time.

I have some tight spots to hunt with broken cover that will allow 15 to around 200 yard shots, it's going to be a humble respectful season using my old Friends rifle, not going to chronograph the load, dont care, don't think it'll matter, I do believe the 165gr Speers leaving the 22 inch barrel over 61gr IMR-4831 will knock holy hellfire out of whitetail deer.

I hadn't planned on anything. But started thinking about another 257 Roberts. I remember reading some years back, Savage stated they would make/build whatever you wanted as long as it was a caliber they had offered in the past. So I called the nice lady at Savage. Asked if they would build an AXIS II; as all AXIS II's are standard actions; in a 257 Roberts, 24" barrel 1-10 twist, with a 3" chamber/freebore to the lands with a 100gn Nosler Partition. She said, we can do that, but you have to order through an authorized Savage dealer. the dealer orders it, we build and ship to dealer. You pay them....So I ordered through the dealer, will see what happens.....

Let us know. If it works I may want an Axis II in 250 Sav...

I’ll be buying a Howa mini carbon stalker in 6.5 Grendel. It’s not stainless as I had hoped but I’ll manage.


Yup.

Nope, cuz when you own a good 06, no need to. Except maybe another 06.

Already did! Bought back a previously owned Kimber Montana in 7mm-08.

I need to get a new stock for my Ruger Hawkeye SS. The plastic stock isn’t that good and needs to be replaced.

Hopefully my Nula will be ready by then. That’s the worse part of having one built is the wait...and maybe the invoice.

I buy new rifles all the time, not because it is hunting season, I just want to test the rifle and the cartridge it's chambered for. Just one of the perks from being a gun shop owner. My biggest problem is trying to figure out which rifle/cartridge to take Elk and deer hunting. Plus which one to take as back up. And of course I also build rifles myself if I'm going for a wildcat cartridge.

Yes-If I find a Rem 700 ADL SS Mountain Rifle from 1993. I bought one from David Walter many years ago and it was converted to BDL. My favorite deer rifle now. And I would like to have another.(In case the bolt handle falls off) I have 3 each 280's from 1993. Two are converted and 1 is still original.

Thanks Skane, there's more, the old Man's son is still alive, i'll give him the powder and primers along with the 13 bullets I have left his Pappy gave me 30+ years ago, will advise him to load those in his Dads other '06 he still has, with that, i'll ask if we can hunt whitetails on his Dads parents place they homesteaded back in the early 1900's, I have a key to the gate, but want to hunt it with him, this has the makings of a very cool, but reverent and memorable hunt. smile
