Yeah am slightly hesitant ...but must admit to owning one I bought 2nd hand years ago....Remington 700 with synthetic stock and in stainless with iron sights....could never get the scope zeroed. Went through 3 plus boxes of ammo over a period of time...eventually decided to take scope off and try with irons to see if it was the barrel...when removing the screws going into the receiver I found one was broken off inside the receiver. Tried the irons and bang on ...so if weather is inclement I take it out ...shot couple of puku with it and worked fine...now I will duck down deep in the trench :E Big Grin:

You are right Bob. Jack O pushed it down my throat. Got one when I was 14. 52 yrs later and 300 plus critters and not one lost. Not a tomato stake!

It's sort of true. When calibers get improved and reintroduced they tend to be too much of a good thing. Everything I love in firearms was perfected before 1930:

22 Savage
240 Apex (243 is a fake clone)
257 Roberts
6.5x55SE
6.5 Mannlicher
7x57
280 Ross
303 Brit
300 H&H
318 Westley
333 Jeffery
350 Rigby
375 Holland
404 Jeff
470 NE
577 NE

If one of those is lacking for a given task, you probably ought not do that task.

My .25 100 gr out the barrel at 3300 fps suits me just fine even if I can push it another 100-200 fps

@JimP
I like the 109grainers out of mine at over 3,600 fps, just fun to shoot a long ways out with minimal or zero hold over

You left it the Whelen mate. That was pre 1930.
Me thinks y'all need to start another love affair.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
