rem141r - " i feel i should be wearing lederhosen when i hunt with it. "...how true that is. Have several 'full stocks' in CZ550, CZ452 and Ruger 10/22 persuasions. You catch yourself sayin' 'Ja' to a few things and of naming your dog 'Jaeger'. They tend to draw one's attention at the range. Homesteader.

I lived in Ft Wayne for 5 months and couldn't believe how slim and over priced the market was. But on the other hand, I had just returned from Alaska and before that, I was in the Dakotas. Guess I had it too good before.

Went online to order some Winchester .243 brass. None to be found at Midway, Natchez or Midsouth. No Remington, either.
Almost no Winchester or Remington brass in any rifle caliber. WTF?

Slightly off topic, but does anybody know if there's enough meat in the barrel of a .308 to rebore to .358?
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Ed, Scott: I was thinking about one of the Partitions for deer and hog. Maybe one of the lighter Ballistic Tips or V-Maxes for feral-type critters.
I don't think I'll be shooting it this weekend, but I will be ordering components and scrubbing out the bore with copper solvent and a little J-B Compound.
I've got a 2.5x Leupold in Ruger mounts that I'll take off another rifle. I've half a mind to put a NECG peep on the rear and a big old white bead up front, but that's for next year, maybe. I will definitely report back on shooting results.
I would load Scott's mentioned slug as a do-all and be done with it. Buy the Pro Shop blems and don't fuss with your rifle. My mentioned 7x57 now sits in a "drilled" Ultralight stock (and pad) that goes about the same weight as an Edge (26 oz) and wears an NECG peep with their Sourdough front. A tidy little package.

I very much like that NECG setup, although I go back and forth between the sourdough and the white bead. edited to add: Did you have to file the front sight down any? NECG peep with their Sourdough front. A tidy little package.
