What are you drooling over?

[STLHunter]

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.

Is your safety really easy, probably too easy to manipulate? I'm getting ready to send an email to Springfield. I hunted with my Waypoint for the first time this year and several times I looked down and the safety was off through no doing of my own.

Nope, both the Waypoint and Redline have "normal" feeling safety levers. They both have the same Triggertech Field triggers.

Shoot them an email and see. I had to send my Redline in for a bad extractor and their CS rep made the process painless. < 4 weeks total, including shipping time. No cost to me outside of finding a box and driving to FedEx.

Today I ended a 15+ year desire.

15 or so years ago I found a gunsmith who would convert specific Marlin in 35 rem to 10mm.

Ruger recently announced the release of the 1894 trapper in 10mm so I inquired last week at the LGS. Yesterday they called me, guess what just came in.

So I finally own a 10mm lever action. Before inflation I saved about $2700 waiting this long

I have a 1993 Ruger boat paddle in .243 I was recently gifted by an old friend who's hunting days are done.
Its pretty sweet shooting in such a light caliber but unfortunately the precision is seriously lacking as the steel barrel looks very average.

They're such an iconic rifle, I'm drooling over the thought of a new barrel in 6mm Creedmoor and then keep hunting hard for many more years with it.

Well its in progress, stainless barrel is on the way, threaded for suppressor, trigger has been worked and the horrid bedding job that someone did in the past is going to be redone.

Whatcha gonna do with it?

I want a beautifully stocked mannlicher style 6.5 Swede for no real reason.

Edit:
Something like this

https://www.eurooptic.com/steyr-arms-sm-12-fullstock-65-x-55-swede-20-bbl-4rd-rifle-6626490100005a

I'm so pissed is sold the 1954 Steyr Mannlicher I found in a small shop for a grand a few years back. It was absolutely fabulous, an engineering and machining marvel smoother than my Tikka. I've never felt anything like it. Shame at some point in its life a previous over drilled and tapped the top of the receiver though. Mannlicher stocks are peak aesthetic.

 

[UnckleBob]

yeah that things mean.. just looks like a gun that goes well with buffalo plaid and a stormy kromer. lol
I have enough modern stuff I really only get excited about old guns with character anymore

I would like Europtics to get Winchester to agree to produce a limited run of Featherweights, preferably in 6mm CM (will settle for 6.5CM), with Tikka lite profile threaded barrels.

Heck, I'd settle for a Featherweight with crazy Browning metric thread pitch.

A threaded Winchester Featherweight = a credit card purchase.

Recently found this browning 270. I have never desired a browning nor a 270…….

If you buy it, I doubt you will regret it.

I shot an ‘06 for years. It was fine and I didn’t need to change. Then I saw a rifle with a Mannlicher stock at a local gunstore that happened to be in .270. I bought the rifle for that beautiful full length wood stock, not the caliber. I had never wanted a .270. Once I started shooting it, I started preferring it. My ‘06 hasn’t been off the rack in a while now.

Warning: Going to a wood stock .270 comes with potential side effects. You might abandon your Sitka gear and start wearing plaid.

Probably shoot stuff.

I'll see if I can find a hunting round for it. Use it if I'm a driver on deer drives. Probably sit a tree stand and shoot something at close rage.

Guess I'm not really drooling over anything, but I am keeping my eyes open for a used 700, 70, or 77 to turn into a 358 Winchester. The right one will turn up eventually.

Endex

I had to Google “Endex” to see what it was. That is drool worthy.

In my younger days I won the wife lottery.

This OIL lady gifted me a Bison hunt for my upcoming 60th bday.

I have decided that I want to do this hunt with an original Winchester lever gun 45-70 or 45-90
Been lusting for one for years. Now I have a good excuse.

I have been studying, learning, and watching all of the info that I can soak in.
Narrowed it down to a Winchester 1886 with full octagon barrel, in as original condition as possible

Now I have started looking at for sale ads, and auction listings.
I will probably make a run at buying one in the next couple of weeks.

So cool that these 130yr old rifles are still out there and in shootable condition.

Brought this hammer home today.

Winchester 1886 45-70-405
Mfg 1892

There is just enough not factory original to make this a shooter grade.

Been wanting a nice 12 gauge over and under shotgun, probably a browning or beretta!
