Starting over

[pullit]

Have said it many times, that the rifles I have (for the most part) were because a good deal came along as opposed to going out and finding the exact rifle I have.

Having said all that, if you were starting over, would you still have the same rifles you do now, or would you change, and if so to what?

 

[jds44]

This sounds sorta familiar... :grin:

 

[pullit]

sorta...
as I said, I have said it many times, more than a few time over lunch with you and Blake...

 

[Painless]

he is talking about the thread he started which is almost the same as this one. Give him a break JDS he is old.......Blake

 

[jds44]

I was trying to figure out if it was a different question or he was just having a senior moment.

Mine was specifically about a big game rifle. Now if we're talking about a whole new battery from the ground up, we've got a new discussion.

 

[jds44]

If we're talking about a new battery built from the ground up, I'd do 3 NULA's. A .22 LR repeater, a .223, and a .30-06. I could probably be persuaded to do a .284 instead of a .30-06 so that the action length and bolt throw are the same on the .223 and big game rifle.

 

[Painless]

You need a good swift kick in the nuts. No way Melvin has any fun building turdy ought sixes.........Blake

 

[Painless]

Oh yeah almost forgot. Give me NULA 22lr Repeater, a patriot arms tactticool 7wsm, a Kampfeld 25/284 and another NULA 7WSM. If I never own another long action it won't hurt my feelers........Blake

 

[jds44]

You need a good swift kick in the nuts.

You been talking to my wife again? Something tells me she would agree with you.

 

[jds44]

No .22 centerfire?

 

[Painless]

looks like I need a swift kick to the nuts, the patriot arms tacticool 7wsm should have been the 223ai.......Blake

 

[pullit]

I was talking about a WHOLE new battery, can't you read my mind, .....heck its a simple read.... :grin:

[jds44]

Energizer. You gotta love the bunny.

 

[pullit]

like the bunny, hate the drum....

 

[jds44]

Forgot about the damn drum. Scratch the bunny.

 

[jds44]

I think my list above needs a range playtoy. Make it a heavy .223 700 with 22'' barrel in an A5.

 

[pullit]

I have a whole separate list for my varmint/target rifles.
My hunting rifle list would look something like this:

257 WBY
260
maybe a 300 WSM
