I have a Winchester M70 short action receiver that I had a Kreiger stainless M24 chambered in caliber .308 installed. Just waiting on a stock from H-S Precision to arrive, then time for some load development!
Oh yes - in a parking lot sale here in San Diego - bought a Tikka T3x Lite in 6.5 Creedmore- for under $600 - but spent a long time fighting with the State of CA to get it released - (actually the dealer had cheap gun dealer had cheap insurance - the real problem) - which I have not shot. Nor have I shot a beautiful used Weatherby in 300 Win Mag I bought in my home town of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Dang - In younger years - would have been out in a week. .I'm not above buying something and taking awhile to getting around to shooting. I guess that's what happens when your in the gun a month club!
I guess it's been two years back I ran across a deal. Cabelas had a Howa 300 Win mag that was supposed to have a flaw in the Bronze finish. I can't recall what I paid for it but even though I'm 30 cal mag poor I picked it up. I think they got mixed up, I can't find a thing wrong with the finish. It came with a black Hogue stock without a bedding block which aren't much count. Somebody on here had a Hogue in Gillie green with full length beading block like new for cheap. Hogue with a bedding block aren't half bad. Found a deal on a 30mm tube Vortex scope of some kind. Had Talley rings in drawer. Had my gunsmith buddy thats better with triggers than I am do a trigger job. It's got some kind of accu-trigger, first for me but my gunsmith buddy likes them. Once you take up the slack it breaks clean and light.
I put it in the safe and pretty much forgot it. Dug it out earlier today. Guess I better start working up loads for it. Along with the 280 and the 270 WSM I haven't shot either. Probably more if I looked.
What ya got you haven't shot yet. I bet I'm not the only one.
This really needs a trip to Africa and used on a Cape Buffalo and maybe an elephant! JMO!The second is also a NIB CZ550 Safari Magnum from the USA Custom shop in 450Rigby, bought it for the action,
To many to list. You're supposed to wear one out before starting on another aren't you ?I'm not above buying something and taking awhile to getting around to shooting. I guess that's what happens when your in the gun a month club!
