Gun cleanse to make things simpler.

Hard to beat a 3006 for a do it all gun.

Also if you decide to sale the 7mm08 Mtn Rifle let me know

 

[Trees91]

If I sell it’ll be posted here...and else ware.

I prefer to have a few nice rifles that fit particular needs than just have a bunch. A quality over quantity with a limited budget type deal. A .338 mag of some sort (33 Nosler currently) for moose and brown bear, a good accurate lightweight 7 mag for just about everything else, a lever 45-70 for busting brush along salmon streams, and a suppressed 300 blackout for home defense/SHTF. Of course there are the inherited firearms that will never leave my possession until I have grandkids.

Problem is, when you have 10 “brady’s” on your bench.

First world problems.

Hey man. If you've got a stacked bench, that's one large piece of the puzzle towards a winning record...

meh....you can only play one at a time.

Selling is extra complication and a hassle. Your new tax credit will cover a case of ammo for your 7mm08 or 300wm.

With modern bonded bullets, there is a lot more lethality in cartridges with smaller diameter projectiles.

Granted, they are not "stoppers" like 30s & 33s.... But they will kill

If you can tolerate the recoil, it's hard to beat a 300WM

If not, step down to a. 270.

Possibly on the chopping block.

I'm going through the sell off now! I still have plenty, just dropping a couple of calibers and extra rifles I acquired looking for the "goldilocks" model. I think you already have your medium with the 7-08!

I'm about a year ahead of you. First kid made me think about a plan. 2nd kid make me act on it.

I settled on a switch barrel rifle. Stayed within the same family of cartridges, so same bolt face and magazine. One scope. Swap a barrel and I move from a 6.5 Sherman Short to a 338 Sherman Short. Shouldered barrel and a regular action, so as simple as a switch barrel can be.

Built it to be a light mountain rifle. 6.5 pounds before scope is the goal.

I figure I can shoot the 6.5SS for high volume range days, practice and most game that I chase. Switch to the 338 for Bear, Moose and Elk.... beauty is, that I'll be super familiar with how the gun handles... atleast that's the plan.

If it works as planned, I'll unload a 308win, 300WM, 7-08 and the optics to go along with it.

You might already have the start with something in your collection already....

 

[Kimber7man]

If the 300 Win mag is the bottom rifle, I'm interested in the details!

 

[orionsbrother]

Stop talking crazy!!

I do not need fewer guns, bows, rods, shelters, canoes or packs. I just need more time.

You gettin’ pressure? You tell her that you’re keeping your box wrenches and socket sets too. You’re not “making do” with a crescent wrench.
