Why Not...A Long Range Rifle?
- Thread starter SmallGameAddict
- Start date
Has anyone ever noticed "his" gun pictures never have the same backdrop? So he either has 100 different types of flooring in his house our he's full of shit, take your pick.
Message what message, you insult people you know nothing about, you talk bullshit everyone knows is bullshit, all because you woke up with nothing to play with and thought I’ll talk bullshit to people I can hide from behind my computer screen..... GREAT MESSAGE!!
I insulted nobody, "just the facts Ma'am.". If you feel insulted I apoligize. Sorry the inconvenient truth about "long range wounding" upsets you.
Anybody who sites in a box stand on a clear cut hardly qualifies as an expert on long range shooting. Nothing I said was BS, rather based on experience, the opinions of real experts and Physics 101.
1000 yard rifles are not sold at Wally World.

I wondered that too. Heavy for a hunting rifle where someone would be in terrain for long shots where a 300 comes into play too.
Yep 17 lbs plus a treestand and gear gets a little heavy....lol

I was referring to the Ruger rifle people were originally referencing. Before this thread jumped a sea of sharks.

10.7 lbs for the ruger without optics. My hunting rifle now is about 10lbs with scopes.

Another different type of flooring.
Not to mention the illegal AR15 in his closet behind the T3

True story. I just thought it was a neat rifle. Example of what's out there. Heck, the price isn't even that bad.

I have a 300 wm project. Getting parts and doing research. Kinda took a back burner when I picked up my savage 6.5cm

Well, we've all been there. Sometimes it's what can I get this week, for ONE of my guns, that I've been wanting to get, that will fit in the budget.

I always research a LOT before I decide, and spend the money.

Really want to try the 6.5 cm. It was the cheaper route before I put it in a chassis.
"ILLEGAL ARS" Just how dumb can you get ? What is illegal ?
While the 6.5 CM is neat as a purpose designed target cartridge, the hype is way overblown. I have one, a Kimber Adirondack carrying a 2.5-10x32 Nightforce (That cannot be used to hunt there) (pic below) that I'll be selling come summer. It is outpaced by my 1899 Swede 6.5x55 and blown away by a modern Tikka in 6.5x55. Ditto 260 Rem, 6.5-06, 260 Nosler and 6.5-300 Bee.
The CM enjoys cult status but brings nothing as a hunting cartridge that cannot be matched or beaten by other 6.5s.
When my 6.5 Bee Ruger No. 1 is done, I'll have a 6.5 with a 400 yard point blank range to use the superior 6.5 bullets. Yeah I know the barrel will be shot out in <1000 rounds ----- who cares ? That's several hunting lifetimes.
BTW, if anyone wants a nice CM, I have a tuned up Ruger from the Shot Show available for 500 bucks.

And at your age too, you should be ashamed of yourself.....
Age has nothing to do with telling the truth.
But it does seem some people just can't accept the fact that with age comes wisdom.
Write yourself a note to check back when you are my age, to see if you can still climb up on a 16 hands quarter horse, spend 2 weeks in the back country from 7-10,000' up in a tent where it actually gets cold and then take a sheep like this. It's just a bit tougher than riding a truck, unloading your ATV and climbing into a ladder stand with a thermos of coffee to wait for some hapless Whitetail to appear.
I did all that with a longbow (no ATV) back when I was a ute living in the Empire state.

I have a similar 'project' going, on the back burner because of my ongoing upgrades to the 30-06 for hunting this fall. It is a Rem 700 ADL Synthetic, .243 Win, the bargain basement version. Inexpensive way to gain a Rem 700 barreled short-action. Came with a junk Chinese scope and rings/bases. So far I have removed the (ugh) plastic trigger guard, and replaced it with the Remington ADL black matte STEEL trigger guard, also replaced the included rings, bases and scope with Warne Maxima rings/bases, and a Leupold VX-1 2-7×33 scope I had laying around. Also disassembled, thorough cleaning and lube, torqued large stock screws to 30 in lb Rem specs, and small front trigger guard screw to 10 in lbs. Someday- new aftermarket stock, likely a Boyd's AT-One. Right now, I got bigger fish to fry.
