Hmmmmm......
If you end up wanting a very sexy display stock for your 96, hit me up 😉
I bought 2, since there's no return policy. AAA Fancy Claro Walnut. I'm keeping the one I want & moving this one on cheap. Like, cheap, cheap.
Yeah, everything that requires a big magnum you have covered with your 7mm.
In your shoes I'd move on the Weatherby & grab something smaller, lighter, cheaper & more fun to shoot. .223/.308/7-08 & 6.5 creed would all be at the tippy top of my list. You could easily buy a quality example of any...
I can't argue with that at all. I'm sure we've all been through the mega mag craze, before settling down to more sensible scopes. It took me a long time to figure out that for 20+ years, 90% or more of my field shots had been taken at 6x or less. Now, my highest mag scope tops out at 10x & is...

Quick question, needing a pretty quick answer.
I have a 6x Swiffer (mil quad) right now. Actually, I have 6xs on 3 rifles. I know them & I love them
A great friend of mine is looking for a scope for a new .308, budget is 500.
I've also found a 3-15 SWFA for sale at 550.
Would you:

Wow.
First day on the internet?
You do understand that custom, one off, made to order rifle stocks are, in fact, one off, custom & made to order, right? They're not Maccy D's fries dude. Some shit just takes time. These stocks are brand new to market, with a pretty extensive pre-order list...
Thanks!
Yeah, the more I thought about it, the more I figured that the TMK does literally everything I need. Hell, a .223 bolt gun has been my primary go-to for 90% of my hunting the last 5 or 6 years anyway!
6x45 is very much still on my radar & if the right deal in a barrel ever shows up...
Very, very cool! I'm jealous of your weight there!
It's been a busy day, here. I found a guy with both a 7.62x39 AND a 6.8spc barrel! 😃 Aaaaaand, neither of them extract cleanly 😡 Chambered just fine, but I had to wail on the cocking knob (I just like saying that...) to get the bolt open on a...
Ok, now y'all've got me thinking about 7.62x39. With its heavily tapered case, sticking would be less of an issue. Bullet selection in .311 sucks balls though.

What's your opinions on the 8.6SPC in a straight pull?
You guys seem to have the most experience with these rifles, across the widest cartridge range. I'm sitting here, looking at my spare upper & lower, wondering in which direction to head. I like the ballistics...
So far, I'm 50/50 between the chili garlic & honey maple.
The honey maple is borderline just a hair too sweet. If I do it again (hah! If....) I'd definitely decrease the sugar percentage in the cure. Maybe cut it back to 1 or 1.2%
The jalapeño & garlic has a beautiful, but subtle fermenty kick...
