I only have one 7 mm mag (Sherman Short) and wanted a smaller caliber after it destroyed a coues at 700 yards, lol.Lots of great suggestions already. I will echo the .25-06 though. I picked one up last year and have had a blast dialing it in and working up a load for it. Damn good shooter, mild recoil and can’t wait to try it out on game this year. Has become on of my favorite rifles to shoot for sure!
I guess I'm hesitant to go the 223 route because I like dual purpose rifles and a 223 trainer is pretty singular
I WISH I could explain that to the Alberta GovernmentYes, it would singularly be the rifle/cartridge you shoot and kill everything with.
Right? SK you can use 223 why not here?I WISH I could explain that to the Alberta Government
9.3x62 in case you want to hunt something dangerous.I'm going to order another long action for a future build but im trying to figure out if I should go with a standard bolt face or magnum.
I currently have all .284 caliber rifles. 7mm rem mag, .280 ai and a 7prc being built.
So I'm either going to go with something in the 30 cals or a .26/ 6.5mm
What would you choose and why?
AB Roksliders should send a bunch of similarly worded letters explaining this and pull evidence from the .223 thread in particular. The AB gov is obviously pro firearm and pro hunting, so we could explain the .223 as being advantageous and better for females and younger shooters, while still being effective on game with modern bullets. Explaining the policy as being outdated and no longer supported by data might at least fire up the conversationI WISH I could explain that to the Alberta Government
Its truly because I want to put one together start to finish and develop a load for it, not because I need another rifle to hunt with. I learn and comprehend by doing things hands on and building a bolt gun, (threading the barrel to action) bedding it to a stock, etc...) is something I havent done myself.I think you have everything covered with what you have but I’m not one to tell someone to not buy a new rifle.. the perfect amount of rifles is your current number of rifles +1.
7-08 would be my choice. Continue to use .284 bullets, low recoil, short action.
It's annoying. Almost as annoying as not being able to use suppressors. Or order SWFA optics.Right? SK you can use 223 why not here?
Maybe a 6mm creedmoor would fit your arsenal OP
They pop up Gunpost from time to time. I’m pretty sure there’s a company that will import them as well out of BC. I’ve managed to score a few now and just saw a 6x mil quad on there last weekIt's annoying. Almost as annoying as not being able to use suppressors. Or order SWFA optics.
See post #38You already have a .280Ai, 7mm rem mag and a 7PRC????!?!
I wont bother asking why...but whats the perceived gap in the rifles you have?
