The shiny finish doesn't do it for me..still I like those new takedown BLR's..I was wondering how one could swap calibers in them..meaning you could get one in .358 and switch it to a .308 or .243 etc etc..

Never thought of that, wonder if this is possible?

The rifle comes with a Scout Scope from the factory. Been looking at them myself.

Amen! Thanks for the update

Looks like they may have stolen the sticker off Randy Moss's helmet, and glued it to the stock!

Mostly bolts in my neck of the woods also, hard to believe being a close range situation, but there are plenty of levers too.

Very Nice! After looking outside my front door this morning to a Blizzard, its nice to see some fall pictures even though its quite a long ways away from me.

I had to think about it for awhile, but in the end I deleted it out. I put the new link right at the top of all my bookmarks though!

If you do decide on a 25-06 you may want to use a super premium bullet just in case the game you hunt happens to be at close range. I have heard reports of bullet failure in a 25 cal bullet more than any other for some reason,all stories seemed to be a close range problem, and one way to remedy that...

If I could pick only 1 State, without hesitation it would be Montana. I hunt there every year, as I have a brother there. The season starts in October, or early September if you hunt with a bow, and lasts to the end of November. Unlimited doe tags in some areas, your choice of Whitetails, or Mule De...

Sounds like a great deal he made. I suppose the limited edition guns probably don't get fired much really.

I'm going out on a limb to say they may be equal in trajectory, but the 7 mag will hit much harder, and it wears a belt. The 25-06 is a terrific antelope round.

Exactly like that. 1984 must be the year. Yours looks unfired also.

Ran into a NIB 94 30-30 Ram Truck edition today. I can pick it up for 450.00 No safety yet. Anyone know the year on this gun? I'm guessing early 80's maybe.

I was just looking at that same gun a couple days ago online as I do hunt in a couple shotgun only areas on occasion. Nice looking gun, I may look into one myself. Please post a range report when you shoot it.

I had the same problem this year, but not at the range but rather in the woods from a guy who was carrying a .300 win mag with a 6.5x20 scope. He said to me he used a 30-30 similar to mine when he started hunting 30 years ago. Said he lost too many deer due to the 30-30 being useless. I didn't say a...

So... if you're gonna butcher your venison in the garage, CLOSE THE DOOR!

Thats a good one Griff

Maybe we can make this new house Bigger, and Better!

I heard the same,also gun prices are going up. Looks like everybody will jump on the bandwagon! I better get a few reloading supplies soon or they will be hoarded.

I bet those 2 loads have a bit different recoil also. Congrats on the new rifle!

WOW! Hobie, that was a good educational piece of reading. Way to stay calm, and cool. I think my wife and I need to come up with the same kind of plan.

I have a suggestion on how to fix everyones AOL problems as I too have the problem. Its not polite to say the wrong thing, so I will just be Hush Hush, and fix my problem quietly with a tip from Donald Trump.

Paul, Something must be wrong with my AOL server, when I clicked on your link it did nothing. I took your tip, and downloaded Firefox, and I am ready to go as I am able to post a reply now. After reading a different post I do believe I will be letting my anti gun AOL server go, and getting something...

Very nice Marc! Welcome aboard. Looks like perfect shot placement on the Bear, well done!

Please help, This is the only post that I can make work properly. Always comes back saying "Invalid Session try again"

Thanks for the help getting set up on the new board Paul!
