Beautiful rifle with some excellent wood on it, and I would say is a nicer finish than the original glossy ones. GLWS!

I will take this. PM To follow.

If anyone is interested in a new No. 1A Stainless in 308 Win, my local Cabelas (Allen, Texas) has one for $1,500.

Good call-out, and now I need to go dig up the piece I was referring to, and actually check the time/date stamp on it. I just assumed it was recent, but need to check. :)

I read a very well-reasoned opinion piece yesterday that we are not yet in an AI bubble; but when we eventually get there, the tell-tale sign will be a rash of AI companies going public at insane valuations into the welcoming arms of the dumb money (the general public); especially the IPOs of...

I was pretty underwhelmed that NVDA didn't get a bigger pop than that.

This past weekend I handled a Portugal-made Win Model 70 Fwt in 264 Win Mag, and it was a well assembled gun; but the wood finish was the work of a sleepy Kindergartener. It seemed like the kind of job that gets done late on a Friday just about happy hour. It could have definitely benefited...

I'm not sure what this is about, but I've done deals with both of you on this forum, and you were both great to work with. I'd be happy to vouch for either of you, and I do hope y'all get a deal worked out. :-)

Agreed. As a right-handed shooter, I prefer a two position flag safety on the left side of the bolt.

Funny side note about the Bubba Mauser that I posted earlier - it smells like charred wood from a campfire. I don't know if it survived a house fire or something like that, and I can't find any damage; but it has the distinct odor of burnt wood (even after a good cleaning and a Ballistol...

As a point of reference, I recently picked up this 1940 Sauer & Sohn 8mm Mauser that had been rudimentarally sporterized (sans the scope) for $199 via online purchase from a Cabelas store in Georgia and had it shipped to my local store in Allen, Texas. After a good cleaning and mounting the...

I've been doing this with marbles in a jar of Linspeed. Great tip!

How do you guys approach the use of Renaissance Wax vs something like Ballistol? Would you apply Ballistol first, and then wax; or blend them somehow?

I'm curious to know more. Did he recommend blending them, or just use one after the other? And use them on both the metal and the wood?

Just to clarify, you're selling just the stock and the bottom metal; not the barreled action, correct?
