I’d like a 700 classic in 25-06 if possible.

Not looking for a new one. I've got some I haven't used yet. This years plan is to use a pretty .308 mnt rifle that I ended up with.

No room for more planning on using some in the back of the safe for nostalgia like my 99 savage 308 last time I used that was 1998

Not really. I have rifles I have not shot deer with yet. Others that have shot whitetails, but not mule deer. Getting mule deer is tougher than it used to be. Several years ago a general and two doe tags was common. Not so now. Whitetails are more numerous. I haven't shot whitetails with my .45-70, .300 Savage, my FILS model 70 06.. So although not a new rifle to me, they have not taken deer in my hands. Kind of doubtful if I buy any more new rifles, not much interests me that I don't have or have not tried already.. The .300 Blackout or 6.5 CM have no appeal. So I guess I will cycle through my present rifles and 6 guns and see what deserves a run.

I'm shopping for a .243 or a .257 Roberts.... goodness the gun market is a circus...
I may have to hunt with my old '06 another year and shop again in January or so...
Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.

I'll likely head into town tomorrow to buy a Kimber Subalpine 30-06. No need at all I just want to fool with one.

Well I accidentally bought a 141 in 35 Remington today, so I guess the answer is yes?
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

"Deer season" is a good reason to buy a rifle? Funny.
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

Last week! Got a brand new Ruger M77 Hawkeye stainless in 243. Haven’t shot it yet.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Haven't worn out my '06 yet. I've only shot it 6 times at animals. 2 elk and 4 deer in the pot. It's good for a lot longer than I am.

Good choice ^ I have an itch for another T3x myself. Looking for one in a factory laminate stock.

After the nut job last fall, I was trying my hardest to come up with a firearm purchase that would mark the occasion. I even started a thread on it here. Sadly, it all became inconclusive. However, in mid-January, I found a new/old stock Pedersoli Brown Bess at a nearby Cabelas. Shooting a 'Bess is a real mad scientist experiment. It's got a .75 cal bore. The standard load that your standard Lobsterback fired is a .69 cal ball in a paper cartridge. That there alone should get me on paper at 50 yards or so. However, I also have .715 and .735 balls to play with. Smoothbores of this period generally did not get fired with a cloth patch. If you weren't using a paper cartridge, the most common way of loading one of these is with a wad of tow. I had to look up what tow is. It's raw linen fiber. I still have to find some 3F Black Powder. Chemo set me back a bit, I only got off a few shots before I started treatment. However, I'm hoping to have 'Bess out for Early ML Season in mid October.
