Scott's been drooling over the APR for quite some time and needs someone to buy one so he can live vicariously through them.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Of those listed I’d grab that tikka in the classifieds and I’m sure you would be happy. I’m pretty sure all tikkas are a long action. Hells canyon armory makes a pretty slick magazine for the WSM rounds that allows longer OAL.

This is the one I bought. Scott's been drooling over the APR for quite some time and needs someone to buy one so he can live vicariously through them. That APR is sharp though too!

Very, very nice beretz. I've got some 139's and RL26 ready and waiting (no Magnum though). Large rifle primers or LRM's ??

I used CCI250’s for mine. I wanted to try Magnum as I had a ton of it. 26 or Retumbo seem like sure things. Not complaining about Magnum though.

That is a beautiful model 70 Scotty.
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

I have a Weatherby Vanguard First Lite I’d be willing to sell. I’m open to offers. Have brass and dies as well.

My 6.5 PRC rifle purchase fell through, so thought I'd ask those with experience. Assuming the price is practically the same, or in the ballpark.....considering the Tikka, Sauer Atacama, or Sako S20, which one are you buying? Not the least bit interested in Christensen anything. I have brass, powders, and dies already. LOL. You should prioritize resale value. When you find out once again the latest and greatest still does not help your situation it's going down the road as you keep searchin for a hardware solution to your software problem.

Thanks SafariBurns. I've killed/culled more big game animals than you will in 10 lifetimes. Appreciate the "help" though.

You don't have the ability to shoot beyond the reach of any legacy round such as the .270 win or 30-06 in a bare bones Ruger American. Why are you hoping some one here can help you pick the magic rifle when every rifle is better than your sad skills? Get a rifle/scope and get to praticing and quit dreaming of a hardware solution to your software problem. Just sayin.

Don’t think I’m buying one, got 6.5-06, 264 Win mags, 26 Nosler. It is tempting I admit. Sell the Creeds, get a PRC
