Though I'm not really a fan of stainless and synthetic, I find myself more and more grabbing for one of the Montanas at right around 6# all up. My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here.

I said Savage Impulse because AFAIK they are the only American made straight pulls and I do not yet own a straight pull. Of the rifles I would not bother with is really down to late model (not the very new ones) Remington 700's. The ones produced just before the bankruptcy. Post bankruptcy shows a lot of promise to going back to the quality that made the 700 the icon it once was. And for the record, If someone gave me a late model 700 I would swap out the trigger; bolt body; stock; and swap out the barrel for a Remage setup and maybe get it blue printed. Basically, strip it down and restart. I mean why waste a good giveaway. Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running! www.lostriverammocompany.com

Tikka T3X lite or Super Lite. The Tikka's are not a project in a box. You can take it out of the box, mount a scope, sight it in and go hunt or shoot with superb accuracy. RJ

Tough decision. Almost forgot, I just inherited my father's 1971 Browning BLR.
