Comeback
The 6.5x55 seems to have made a comeback in the last few years. Ammo is much, much easier to find nowadays and Midway stocks allot of it as does Graf and Sons and others as well. Very accurate caliber. I have 4 of them a Winchester sporter, a Ruger 77, and husky military conversion and...
scopes?
I would get two Swarovski 3.5-18 BT scopes instead. Just me . I have rifles waiting to get adopted by a good scope. Or a couple of custom guns by ER Shaw. One in 358 Norma the other in 6.5-284.
However, I am also wondering where such a wife exists. Most of us have had to buy guns...
325?
If you will be going to Africa anytime, I strongly recommend the 325 WSM instead. 325 recoils like a 300 but hits like a 338.
I have "heard" that the 300 WSM is like a 300 H&H. More than a 30-06 but less than a 300 win mag. Certainly the Ammo availability is far better for a 300WSM than...
6.5 x 55
I have a win 70, a Ruger Hawkeye, a swede sporterized done by Kimber of Oregon and a bubbaized Husky (1943) all in 6.5 x 55.
The win is out of the price range. You may be able to find a used Ruger for
about 500 +/-, the two swedes should go in under 500 easily. For the price point...
Range rifle
any 22-250, 223, or 243 bolt action. Just enough feed back (recoil) to feel the joy of shooting, but not so much to wear on the shoulder. I don't get too much out of a 22 mag.
VZ-24
Be patient and get a nice sporterized VZ-24. The VZ-24s are some of the smoothest Mauser actions ever built. I found one with a 22 inch barrel and a 13 inch length pull and a Timney trigger for $400 plus tax at a pawn shop. Feels in the hands like a Remington Model 7. Probably be the...
Hey guys, just curious as to what seems to me to be a lack of folks from DFW posting hunting rifles in the classified section anymore. I bought a nice Weatherby from there a while ago but it seems like the "action" has somewhat dried up on bolt action hunting rifles. Anyone notice the same...
S&B 8mm
In the DFW area all I am seeing in S&B are the SPCE. If I am not mistaken, S&B also made FMJ in the same grain and same FPS specs. I can no longer find the FMJ anywhere, even on line. Anyone know were to find them? I was thinking of taking my 8x57 to Africa next year and wanted to use...
Kimber Swede
Get a Kimber of Oregon refurbed/sporterized Sweed in 6.5 x 55. I have seen them for $275-$325 range in Fort Worth. I have two bought in that price range. Nice old military barrels, one of them shoots MOA at 100 yards. I saw another one before Christmas but did not have the heart to...
$$$
Some people have allot more dollars than centse.
gonna be a lot of butt-hurt when this all blows over on the federal level.
LOL!!! so true.................
Worth
A gun is only worth what somone is willing to pay for it. NO MORE. Did someone offer you more and you turned it down? Did your "friends" offer to pay you more? Of course not. So you got what it was worth at the time you sold it at the location you sold it at. All of the loose change is...
adjustment
WCA: I have never done it myself, so take it for what it is worth, but is is my understanding that you can adjust the pull on the original 77 without taking it apart. Turn the rifle upside down and look at where the trigger comes out of the rifle. There should be a small hex screw...
