But they look sooooo.... cool.

I felt the same way 15 yrs ago, but I got over it.

Kimber Montana 7-08 that went through other day on a forum. Glad I didn’t see it before it sold. That thing was sexy

 

[CJ_BG]

I can help with that.. Lol

I have a big desire for a short, light little 9.3x62 right now.. hammer for deer & bear drives here in PA.. totally non needed but just cool!
dangerous to have wants when I have constant access to the stuff I do while working here..

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 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

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

yea but this 223 is fairly tempting..

Oh, well.. ride the lighting lol

 

[ozyclint]

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.

They are cool to daydream about. I turned up a model 600 350 mag. Badass lil rifle. We got it sighted in, then I pulled the scope and stuck it on a 22lr. That evil sumbitch can stay in the back of the safe

 

[Moose83]

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

 

[Ringbill27]

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

A camo O/U is near as bad as that dork with the suppressed 870. You're better n that.......

 

[Timjohnson11]

My wish list…

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

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.
