A semi that doesn't have a 2 piece stock and isn't something tactical and shoots things like 308, or 06, or 300wsm

The 356 Winchester could be an option. It's the rimmed version of the 358. Same bolt face as a 3030. Could have a 35 rem barrel reamed to fit it. I doubt feeding would be an issue because it's about the same length as a 35 rem

I would have loved nef/h&r to make some economy double rifles. Preferably in 44 magnum.

There's a company called bowen arms I think that makes what they call a super gp in various cartridges. They use the ugly super redhawk alaskan and make it look like a scaled up gp100. Can be had in 480, 454, or 44 I think. You have to supply the alaskan though. It's rd04 on this page...

I have a 10/22 magnum. Bought it on a clearance rack back when they were still making them and not many people cared. It's not anywhere near as accurate as it should be but it's fun.

The old semi style or the more mini 14 looking one they had in the 2000s?

Problem with the wsm was a guy had a patent on the design originally and got royalties from everyone that used it. At least that's what I read somewhere. I used to be on the fence about it but when I was looking for a new rifle the 300 wsm checked all my boxes. 30 cal with no belt. More oomph...

700 in 260 remington. Originally bought it as a 1964 adl in 243 with a monte Carlo stock. I shot most of my deer with it including my biggest buck. After I wore out the barrel I had hart put a 26" varmint contour in 260 remington on it.

350 legend, 360 buckhammer. Mostly because of the names and there was already a 357 maximum that was perfectly fine.

I used to work in the sporting goods department for a small chain of stores coming out of high school. I was constantly getting guns in that I wanted and just couldn't afford. One I wanted the most wasn't at our store but a nearby gander mountain. It was a xr100 in 223. I'd go in every couple...

The last 3 I sold were a Swiss k31 straight pull because I didn't use it much and a guy talked me into it. A remington 750 in 35 Whelen because of how much it jammed even after taking it back twice. And a ruger #1 in 375h&h. I sold that one to fund a bolt action 375 that I still haven't bought...

Nothing special or wrong with the 6.5 cm. It's just it was unnecessary with the 260 rem and other 6.5s already out there. I think what makes many haters are that people seem to think it's the best thing since edible underwear thanks to marketing. I know people who have given me crap about...

I shot my biggest buck (dressed 218#) with the 80 ttsx from a 243 that had an impact velocity over 3350fps. I found the bullet about 10" in the dirt on the opposite side of the deer with all the petals attached in a prefect mushroom. I hit a rib both going in and out.

I went to Montana in May for 2 weeks for bears. I treated every area I was in like it was my own back home. I actually took out more garbage than I produced in that time. Locals on the other hand weren't too nice. Someone stole a bunch of clothes I had drying in my camp. Also somewhere else...

First I'd try to throw a low power shotgun scope on there just for her to get used to. Use that to play with cheek weld and eye relief. I have a 243 with a cut down stock I made adjustable. It's got a rail and with a variety of rings I can make it fit anyone. It has a 1.5-4 shotgun scope with a...
