Why, oh why, did you show this to me?

I have to quit logging on to THR. It's costing me a fortune.

Man that's a purty rifle!

CREEEEEDMOOOOOR!?!!!!$’$&€<¥!!!!

Nah I’m just kidding. Looks nice, buy it if you like it.

 

[redneck2]

If I were at all in the market for a rifle, I’d have one of those. It’s really, really nice.

Express sights and the sling swivel on the barrel. Gotta love it. Needs a leather sling.

I had a .300 WM Ruger. Really nice rifle

As posted in another thread, if you’ve come here with a cry for help, you’ve come to the wrong place. It’s like going to the corner tavern for advice on giving up booze.

And what pray tell stopped you from doing so?

Fellow THR members want to know!

 

[Varminterror]

Eh, it’s sure no 270win

Simple - Shear Force of Will.
(far in excess of mere mortal men)

And, I just picked up a M70 EW/SS in .270 Win.



Obsession... Harem... Who's to say.

I'm gonna have to go looking for one of those 275 rigbys.....so many wants

Sounds like my kind of timing.

When I have the money I can't find what I'm looking for.

When I don't have the money, whatever I have been looking for suddenly appears.

Sub MOA 140 gr. NP handloads at 2800 fps...?

Sure is masquerading as one.

(and, fortunately, since I already have one, doesn't need to be.)

Ha!

Beautiful Mannlicher rifle.

Lucky for me, needs more Bbl.

Ears can't do 18.5" for a high power hunting rifle.

I swear, this thing came out of nowhere.

Can't even remember what I was lookin' for when I stumbled on it.

Lipsey's - has the RUGER variety, in stainless - most recently chambered in 6.5 Creedmagic.

A looker for sure.

Have one. Love it. Buy one.

 

[BWS]

I would've snagged it..... leaving it with *no scope. And it would be a great hunt/hike companion. Taking long walks down by the river with the dog, looking for crocs and hippos,haha.

*Throw a scope on for load development then back to issued irons.

 

[shooter1niner]

Talk you out of it. Ok, I'll try...

The front sight is butt ugly. Someone put the front sling swivel is in the wrong spot... that's all I got.

But I do like the 6.5 x 55 Swede...

How did I do?

 

[Shanghai McCoy]

If I wasn't old and broke I'd want one.
(Well, I guess I can still "want" one... )
