That's literally the definition of being a gun nut. Welcome to the club my friend!

Festuscat, That is and will be a beautiful rifle. The cocking piece looks really long to me. It almost looks like the cocking piece from a 93 Mauser. Either way what a gun that will be when it's finished.

My 30-06 is from 1966. Are they rarer?

Clodo, Its a 1967

I think I'm considering cutting the 640 loose. The gunsmith that did the scope base, didn't do it the way I wanted. If anyone has any interest in it, send me a PM and we can discuss it further.

Especially if they have the pop up peep like this one does.

Geco Plus 250 grain is a fantastic load. I haven't started reloading for them yet.

Thank you.... Yes the 246 is a pretty rare bird.

That's interesting. I haven't had that issue, but they are heavy buggers.

The 1640 is my go-to hunting gun. I predominantly hunt in Pennsylvania so my big game with a rifle opportunities are limited to short seasons of black bear and whitetails. I'm not an expert in this caliber, I just really enjoy its no-fuss ease of use. Plenty of capacity in smaller lighter...

Not much of a tale to tell. I love the 9.3x62 caliber and I enjoy older Mauser-esque rifles (I say Mauser-esque to avoid a debate on Mauser heritage of certain actions.) Anyways, this is my hard-earned collection of 9.3x62s from top to bottom: 1. Brno ZG-47 2. Brno ZKK-600 3. Husqvarna 246...

I have definitely had this happen to me I'm sad to say. It's unfortunate how much our mental and emotional response can inhibit our physical ability. I always joke with friends that hitting with a shotgun is 25% mechanical technique, 50% mental confidence, and 25% black magic... Sometimes all...

That is the epitome of the bolt action rifle. The case coloring alone leaves me speechless.

Love those little martini actions!

Ahh yes sir, I forgot about that. You are probably correct.
