I grew up shooting a winchester 70 New haven classic 270. Family shot 270s (Sako and Winchesters) and foolishly I got rid of mine in favor of the latest and greatest flavor of the week.

While I am fully a believer in synthetic stocks and carbon fiber and viewing rifles as tools that I can bang around - for nothing more than nostalgia, the safe needs one nice classic wood stocked rifle.

There's always the option of getting a semi inlet and finishing it yourself, pretty cost effective way to get a nice wood stock if you're the slightest bit handy

Short light 9.3 is gonna have some oomph on your end, it might not be a fire breathing dragon but a 286gr bullet is still a 286gr bullet

I stopped worrying about oomph when i started killing stuff with sharp sticks and .22 hornets lol.. big guns are still cool to me though

Sako is making a 20" 90 grizzly with a half fluted threaded barrel.. cerekoted tungsten and grade 2 walnut. My wallet is in danger.. lol

What am i missing between the grizzly and hunter models? seems like pic rail vs optilock and fluted vs non-fluted barrel but there is a $1k price difference. Is the wood grade that much better?

Pic rail, fluted, Cerakote vs blued, better wood
I have learned not to attempt to make sense of the pricing from European brands, it makes my head hurt.

Not oomph as in bullet energy oomph as in recoil, 6.8 lb 9.3 is gonna hit you pretty good

Oh, well.. ride the lighting lol

I lust for a Blaser K95 ultimate.
Maybe in 7x65R. With their QD saddle mount.

6.8# + 1.2# scope = 8#

Even if I added a pound for a large suppressor, I think it would still be too light. I don’t understand the thought process behind these very light weight rifles with heavy recoil, but there are a lot of them. The base weight for my Husqvarna 9.3x62 is 7.3# and I find that a total pain to shoot.

If I am going to get a 9.3x62, I think I am going to have to get a Tikka action and put a fairly heavy 16-20” threaded prefit barrel on it. Then I can put a 6-8” suppressor on it, wooden Rokstok, and a 20 ounce scope, resulting in a 10# rifle. It will be expensive, but unfortunately I think it is the only way to get what I want.

As the former owner of a 6.5lb 9.3x62 you will definitely be riding the lightning.... make sure the front sling swivel is out on the barrel not the forend....lol

I’ve been eyeing a browning cynergy wicked wing a lot lately.

My wish list…

Hunting Rig: Gunwerks Endex in 6CM or 65PRC
Side Arm: CZ Shadow 2 Compact
For Fun: Seekins NX15 in 22 ARC

 

[MedServ60Driver]

I want a pistol gripped B-78 in 7mm Rem Mag for no good reason. They pop up sometimes, just too rich for my blood.

The other one is a .375 HH. No real reason, as I don't have plans to go to Africa or Alaska (yet). It just seems cool.

 

[hoooogan]

I have had a 2020 Waypoint in my cart several times and cannot just pull the trigger. I guess I will wait till I draw a MT license. Then I can justify it.

Got a 7RM Waypoint earlier this year. Couple of my friends have them in 300WM and absolutely love them. The action is so smooth, the stock is very comfortable and it's a great looking rifle as well. I don't think I've had over a 1" group. I liked it so much, I bid on (and won) a Redline 2020 in 6.5CM. Equally as nice in a lighter weight package.

Gunbroker FTW, both times.

 

[ReddingArcher]

I’d also like a Remington 742 woodmaster in 30/06. No other reason than it was the first gun I ever bought. Worked and saved the $250 and bought it when I turned 12. I’ll have another one one of these days.

 

[mitchellmountain]

one just went up on gunbroker

With the way bidding is going for the rifle on gunbroker, the one that went on here was a steal

 

[Sinistram]

As with some others, I'm always interested in uncommon left hand rifles. Things people had made as a one off or something that's discontinued. Those and revolvers. You can never have too many revolvers!

GunBroker can be a dangerous foe on those lonely nights!

 

[left hunter]

Somebody to come out with a left hand mini action for the ARC series of cartridges

It shoots? Not a bad chainsaw.

You can find a left handed CZ 527.

 

[left hunter]

I don’t believe they ever offered the left hand 527 with the correct bolt face for the ARC series of cartridges (although I’m sure with enough money they can be converted). I have left hand mini mausers in 223 and 7.62x39 but those actions are really rough.

Really surprising there are no new mini custom actions right or left hand on the market to take advantage of all these little cartridges.
