Does a new caliber new barrel for an existing rifle count? If not then no.
If yes then mine will be a 2nd barrel for a CZ 527. Still a little on the fence whether to pull a 7.62 x 39 barrel or the 6.5 Grendel. To the point the re-barrel will be chambered in 6mm ARC. Expecting my 11 year old son will like this a lot so many I should get 2 barrels so ill have one to shoot as well.

I wasn't planning on it but somehow a used Kimber 84L in 30-06 followed me home today.

I did not really plan on it. But, have stumbled over a few that followed me home since the first of the year. Most are the “new to me” types.

Kimber hunter 30-06, not sure it’s possible for me to hunt spring bear without it. I hear spring bear can only be killed by new guns, so just want to up my odds.

I think that I pretty much have all the bases covered from mice to elephants, so nothing new planned.
BUT, I will be cleaning off about 13 years of dust from my .375 RUM so I can use it this fall on an Alaskan brown bear and moose hunt.

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... Pretty much worked out.24", 1/10, Except Savage built it as a short action. No big deal. I can change it over to a long action with about $45 in parts. Different mag spacer and a long action magazine. Savage gave me the part numbers. And of course I would need to lengthen the free bore. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/koaxTh2.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vxrHyCW.jpg)

I plan on about 3 more "new" hunting rifles before hunting season.. At least..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Not PLANNING on purchasing another rifle...I have a new-to-me 270 bought last year that needs its time on the Deer Camp roster.
That said...if a 300 Blackout or 458 SOCOM walks by and is available for the right price...their is ALWAYS room in the safe for "just one more".....

No. My consideration is which rifles already owned am I going to take.
I still want to kill with the '94 - last time (for me) was 1966.
The .338WM RU77 hasn't been fired in 12 -15 years.
The M98 .30-06 is heavy, but Uber-accurate, but last went 2 years ago.
The 70 fwt 7X57 needs more blooding - 2 caribou last year.
The 243 700 needs a scope- probably won't get to it.
Pretty sure the 725 in .260 is going tho. Also killed with it last year.
My wife will be taking "Stub", a RU77 in '06, cut down to carbine size with 17 inch bbl.
Decisions...decisions...
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I got a new rifle.... just can't get ammo, or brass for it... nor bullets...
So I'll probably be taking the Grendal Again...
I don't hunt elk here in Oregon... have had too many incidences of some Nut job, who thinks me and everyone else out there is an elk.

I'm not sure what my hunting looks like this year, but I'm working up a 20" m70 claasic in 375 wsm with NECG express sights. I don't expect it to be done until after the season.
I'll probably do otc bear and/or elk with some gun I've already got set up.

Picked up what I think of as a bucklist rifle for me this January here in the forums. Have wanted a 280AI for several years so now hoping to get my brass fireformed and loaded before the fall.

Nope, no more purchases. Actually, I plan to sell a couple of 30-06 rifles.

Yep already in hand and working up loads.. I haven't been able to find any Barnes 225 TSX yet but I did get Accubond 225 in my hands and I have heard good thing about them CVA Scout V2 in 35 Whelen which I have had an itch about since this thread started Got the barrel broken in last week, Fire-Froming tomorrow and hunting load development soon after, I am really hoping to find the Barnes which I am an admitted "Fan Boy" before Elk opens this Fall. I actually found Whelen Brass, I am saving that for the hunting Loads, been using resized 30-06 and 270 so far ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/CGd93MV.jpg)
