Right there with you. Nothing is going to work better than what I've got. When it's go time I want something in my hands that's tried and true, tuned and fitted to my specs and fits like a glove. I've got that.


Exactly, 9 bolt actions..all deer calibers..... each was purchased new, have yet to purchase a blunder....same for optics......every gun and optic have been tuned at the bench. Each knows what ammo it likes. Which gun i take to the stand is determined by field conditions and which optic i want to use.

Thabks to CRS, a Jack O'Connor tribute rifle. It's in the mail. It's going to 4 different states this year, hopefully, and I'm gonna shoot the tar out of that gun. But if I happen to run across a new production M70 supergrade in 06, it'll probably come home too.

I'm sort of tin the same boat, all the bases covered so now I'm customizing/perfecting what I have. new stocks, re-barreling, triggers and/or new optics. About the only gap I do have is for a pump carbine to use on drives, but for that I've been 'getting by" with a Rem M7 with a 2.5-8x36 on it.

I'm starting to thin the herd now, I've sold 4 in the past couple years.

Pretty much the same thing here too. I did just buy a new Tikka T3x Lite stainless 308. I sold a nice Sako 308 several years ago and just felt the need to get another 308. I bought a used wood Tikka stock for it. Had it glass bedded. Its at the gunsmith's now getting cut to 20" and threaded for a Nomad 30 Ti can.

Recently acquired a Sauer 100 Veil in 6.5 PRC. Guess I'll fiddle with it a while.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Oh ya...has a decent Burris scope I'll take off too...so I'll be able to offset my stock and rebore prices..

Cool project Mauser. The 760/7600’s are fun. Hopefully you can get it worked out and can get it to NY this year.

No way I would convert a 300 Savage, but it's your rifle.

I've got a 30/06---no need for anything else. Save the money & go on an out of state hunt.

This is pretty much the approach I'm taking.

I hit WY last year for antelope, and MT this season for mulies. I'm now buying pts and saving for a guided WY elk hunt and going to hit CO this fall for over the counter.

Same rifle/cartridge……but, a new bullet! Got 4 boxes of Barnes .375, 270 grain LRX’s for birthday/Christmas. Will be developing a load as soon as hot weather gets here! memtb

You will love that rifle. You may be at the end of your search.

This will be a race to see which gun the gunsmith gets done first - a dakota action and stock I found on here waiting final fittng in 358 wsm or a box of parts and a stock and barrel that needs assembly for a 6.5 CM in 99C savage, let fun begin but hopefully they arrive before deer season for some "bacon" making as a warm up.

I can't see myself buying any new ( or new to me)
hunting guns for the future, especially with the
large price tags these days
I've got something to use for most every region
that I can imagine I'll be hunting at for the rest of
my life.
I'd still like to have a 7.62X39 AR if they ever
get reasonable again whistle
I don't think the 30AR is coming back anytime soon
