One, I'm not a boomer...two all I was saying is that every few years there's a new "end all be all" cartridge design. Even the ones that stick, are just another cartridge at the end of the day. Almost universally their popularity fades when the "next big thing" drops.

Ever look around and realize that you have a whole assortment of parts, optics, tools, ect that you are never ever going to actually use or need? Looked around about 2 weeks ago and said the heck with it, going to clear out a bunch of it on Ebay and use the cash to complete a couple projects...

The Creedmore's are going to be like the WSM's, the hot thing until the next thing. The 6.5x55 will just keep on puttering along like it always has, long after the "Man Bun" has faded into obscurity. Of course, being an 8mm guy, it makes little difference to me.

May want to check with the local auction places, I know there are a couple around here that have gun consignment auctions a few times a year. Overall they seem to sell for pretty fair prices. Much better than giving them away to a shop for MAYBE 50% value or waiting for them to sell on...

Couple 22 rifles that belonged to my Grandpa, old single shot Sears gun(Savage Model 73) and a tube feed Springfield 188. Killed the heck out of a couple Coke cans @ 25 yards with my boys.

Probably a bag of pellets for the Green Mountain Grill...maybe a can of web effect paint, depends on what colors I can find.

New Bell and Carlson Medalist for the 8x68s. thinking I'll paint it either "Dark Parkerizing Gray" Alum Hyde or "Olive" Ultra Flat Krylon...black webbing either way.

Honestly, you could get it Cerakoted in E110 Midnight and get a great looking finish. I had a Model 70 refinished that way and the final result was outstanding. And at a lower cost than a quality blue job.

Filed the cocking piece on the 8x64s to a better angle to get the safety to engage more smoothly

Takes a little file work, but it opens up just fine for a Timney, although I generally prefer a DT trigger on a hunting rifle. A DT is pretty much drop in.

I hear that, but I'll be putting this in a Bell and Carlson Medalist...my 8x64s is in one with a #2 1/2@23". Just a very handy length, handles nice and looks good in that stock. Thinking when it's all done, I'll leave the barrel unfinished and coat the action in matte black. Then I'll finish...

Probably the same reason I built an 8x64s when an 8mm-06 would have probably made more sense, I just like the old early 20th century cartridges. They really were a marvel of common sense design, and while the 6.5 Creed and the .260 will be do all the same things ballistically but they are a...

Just picked up a Mauser 98 receiver, thinking about sending it off to ER Shaw and have them put a 23" #1 barrel in matte stainless on it. Any thoughts about a 6.5x55 on a 98 and would you go what twist for the barrel? I'm currently leaning toward 1:8 as I generally lean toward heavy for...

Varies a bit, shop I usually use is $25.

Alright, get as bent out of shape over this as you want BUT, "sub-MOA" in a hunting rifle is mostly BS. I would lay out $100 if 3 out of 100 shooters at an outdoor range at any given time, with a hunting rifle, are capable of shooting MOA groups at even 100 yards regularly. Furthermore, I...

Ordered a can of SOCOM Black Duracoat.

Pretty clean Spanish 98, just got to the ffl today…not too bad for $17.50

Ordered a Bell and Carlson Medalist M98 sporter stock for the 8x68s I'm getting built.

I tend to stay in the 3-9x40 or 4x fixed area for optics. Frankly, I'm not a long distance shooter and I've always been a firm believer that if 9x isn't enough you need to get closer. I have some more expensive optics, that being said, I wouldn't have a problem mounting a Burris FFII on...

Loaded some test ammo today, 8x64s with 170gn Speer over CFE223 and 8x68s with 200gn Speer over A4350 and W760(2 batches)
