What would you get next if you already had the following?

.22lr
.223 rem
6.5 creedmoor
30-30 win


I've had 243, 6.5x55, 7mm-08, 270, 308, 30-06, and 45-70.

I don't "need" another rifle, but I'm a sucker. I have an extra SWFA that I'd put on it.

Edit: I do own a .30 cal suppressor. I will buy another when it's back in stock.

Fast twist 22-250 or 22 Creed. You've already gone up in recoil and settled at 6.5, so stay lower recoil, but up the speed for the 22 heavies.

Or do something a little different and go 9.3X62 just because.

I would go 24 or 25 caliber. That seems to be my preferred area these days. I still love plinking with a 223 but for hunting it’s those two areas.

243 (AI if you like tinkering with reloading)
6cm is the easy button
6GT is on deck for me
25 anything
(I have a 257 Roberts AI and 25 creed which are both great)
A fast 25 is next on my list probably a SAUM.

While you don’t necessarily “need” it, what job do you think your current stable doesn’t cover?

Stable covers everything really. And there is no specific job for a new rifle.

Maybe a fast twist tikka 243 stainless?

Yall are no fun at all. Does having the biggest rifle mean NOTHING to you people? Is nothing sacred anymore? He's got practical stuff. He needs unpractical. Something to trot out when you want to crack some pigs in half. A .458 win mag, a .416 ruger guide gun, a .338 norma mag. Something COOOOLLLLLLL
