Man, it just gets weirder and weirder.
My brother's hunting buddy buys out my brother's share of the previously mentioned spiffy rifle at a premium. Then my brother takes the premium and then buys a "Howa Randy Newberg in 6.5 CM".
Just what the hell is Howa Randy Newberg ???

Randy has a show called… something tracks. I think his handle on here is BigFin. He has had a show for well over a decade, likely over two.

Sounds like a Jewish rifle made in Japan..

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

Thanks for the link.
My brother is going to stop by with his new toy and we'll compare it side by side with my CA Mesa in 6.5 CM.
He said he got in 6.5 CM because he'd seen me drop a few Elk with mine. He also wanted a cartridge he could introduce to his teenage kids.
Now I'm curious...

Now I'm curious... You know what's funny. Just about every web site/forum that asks about the Randy Newberg signature series has guys saying, they should have just went with a Tikka. Or suggestions saying to get the Tikka. Hmmm. Coincidence or Not?? Was over on The Highroad, and that is the consensus.

"So, given all that, do you have rifle brands, chambered in .308 Win, that you'd recommend he should go look at in each of the 3 $$ categories?" IMO, I think he should buy my Model Seven SS in .308.

As the rifle world turns.. I'd like to see a shoot out between the OP's CA and the OP's brothers new rifle. Lets see which one is better.

Back when all this kicked off, I told him he should consider .308 Win if he's stuck on getting another .30. IIRC, the list of brands I collected would all have .308 Win options. I was a bit surprised when he went 6.5.
