Definitely not out of line on price, but as @ktk120 replied, it's a weird time to sell stuff right now.

Any feathered beast that sees those three tubes swinging on it will probably die of a heart attack. Including ostriches and emus.

They might be the opposite of monometals, but I'm pretty sure you'll have predictable success with CoreLokt 175's through the 7mag. They seem to shoot well enough through most rifles, I've experienced.

I agree with this concern completely. The availability of small frame rifles, and shotguns, too, is fun these days, but I get concerned for potential recoil when I see manufacturers putting muzzle brakes on .308's and even 6.5 CM's. Small and light can end up being a handful off the bench.

Both my daughters shoot .30-'06 with "standard length" stocks and do well with them. Biggest factor is setting up a scope for proper eye relief. Nothing wrong with .308, .270, or any of the classics. '06 us just what I made available to them when they started, and we made sure recoil was manage...

That 1.75-6 would be excellent. Low to 4x is all you'll usually need. Let the big dog eat.

Should be fine as long as you're comfortable with it. I'm sure your PH would appreciate no muzzle brake.

An excellent whitetail brush gun. No tree is safe.

I'm taking a guess without knowing the symptoms, but there have been some runs of 870's, probably around the vintage of yours, that had defects in the elevator/trigger group. Some would be finicky about certain brands, or the true length, specifically, of 3" shells. Most of the folks I knew with...

PM sent. Looking forward to talking with you about this fine rifle.

Shocked and saddened like the rest of you. As were many others, I was fortunate enough to chat with Tom on a couple occasions, and greatly appreciated the conversations each time. A unique individual, and a true asset to this unique forum.

AKA the .263 He-She.

Another vote for the Leica Geovid 10x42. There are a few better out there, but not for the money.

Pronghorn numbers were looking significantly depressed before this winter where I guide east of the Bighorns in north central Wyoming. Disease, drought, and high antlerless harvest over the past several years combined to take the population from overabundance down to a finite, dwindling...

The cat won't feel the difference in any of the choices you gave, but this application is right in the Partition's wheelhouse. 180 or 200.

Riverboat Gambler, lol. Gives me chills just thinking about the possibilities of snafu here. I'd be using a camp rifle on this trip. If you make it.

Hey new @Ridgerunner257 : I'm not in the market, but some pics would greatly help your sale chances. Plus, I'm selfish and enjoy seeing pics of fine rifles.

Kind of the other end as a setup from a Safari Express, but that's a deal right there. The value of the Zeiss alone is substantial.

d) No muzzle brakes.

Comfortable, casual, quiet. Color isn't an issue as long as you're wearing neutral tones. Cotton is king.

Nebraska: "It's not for everyone."

If she's comfortable and confident with it, the 7mm-08 and a quality bullet, like the 140 A-frame mentioned above, is the answer.

The decades-old 7mm Rem Mag vs. .300 Win Mag debate always seems a lot like, or perhaps identical to, the .270 vs. .30-'06 debate. I'm fortunate enough to get to see elk and deer taken with all four chamberings practically every year. While the magnums have the trajectory edge, the personal...

Point-of-impact point acknowledged, and agreed.

I agree with BeeMaa's well-spoken advice above. That said, my experiences as a hunter and professional show Partitions performing effectively on non-thick-skinned game. If you're not after big, heavy and dangerous, NP's old-school cup-and-core (with a hole card) performance is a fine option, IMO.

I've used them on elk, muskox and moose, where they are efficient and reliable, but that's their wheelhouse. I would not use them on thick-skinned animals from the jacket separation I saw.

Great write-up. Thank you.

As long as the Weaver's clear, you really don't need another rifle/scope combo than this for non-dangerous game.

I'd say go for it. What could possibly go wrong?

300 grain Partitions will plenty adequate for large plains game, and more than plenty adequate for lioness.

Another vote for the little Savage. Accurate and dependable at a reasonable price point.

If you can find the one-piece base that matches the original three-hole d&t, it should be plenty sturdy with properly torqued and loc-tited screws. If you don't want to re-drill, that is. What a find!

An article listing "worldwide cartridges" without at least a .375 H&H or Ruger is just drivel, in my opinion.

"Sporting" or not, it's hard not to appreciate the exceptional amount of effort, logistics and expense it took for these kinds of royal expeditions.

Plus, I don't recall ever bringing a date to any of the several weddings when I was in the wedding party, if I wasn't with a steady girlfriend at the time.

Great advice, Mark. Although his taking the girlfriend's friend to this wedding is where the more strategic problems arise.

Yep, definitely a camera in the Men's Room.

The "Clever Girl."

She should just be glad you're showing up to her wedding.

Drunk in the Men's Room. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'd cover her expenses for the trip, drinks, etc., but maybe not the attire. It seems like a stretch to me. I'm just a simple country boy, but I've e been around a bit in social situations, and this seems like a short ride to Trouble City to me, hahaha .

150's in robust bullets don't get the credit they deserve. I'd imagine the elk, caribou, gemsbuck, zebra or even moose won't know the difference in 150 vs. 180 TTSX.

All the above-mentioned setups are sweet, but you'd be cutting yourself short if you didn't look at a Browning A-Bolt Medallion. Mine is my go-to '06. I understand the X-Bolt is a fine choice, too. Both can have some pretty lumber, and iron sight options, too.

Everything but the heavyweights. Bullet and propellant advancements make the .25-06 a lot more versatile than the pronghorn and deer round it was originally intended as.

Only the finest for you, @TOBY458

Like so many here, I enjoyed the thoughts and commentary he shared. Another poignant reminder life can be too short. We'd all best live it to the fullest, as it seemed he did!

Buy, buy, buy.

I'm surprised to see the even numbers on the poll so far. Now I don't feel like such a minority as a lefty. From selling a few left-handed firearms in the past, I always laugh and walk off when an appraiser ignorantly says "left hand rifles and shotguns are tougher to sell." I've found the...

Those A-Squares might be too hard on rifling, but they sure won't be bent after careening through a critter! Best of luck in your search!
