Well that's certainly something you don't see every day. :) Bass Pro Shop Gun Library, Allen, Texas

We've done a transaction before and it was a great experience, but it was for some 375H&H bullets and brass. Perhaps one of these days I'll be fortunate enough to buy one of your finely curated firearms, but I'm all set in the 375H&H department for now. In the meantime, GLWS! :)

I actually got mine elsewhere; one inherited and one came out of Nebraska; but I love them both. Whoever gets this one you listed will be very fortunate indeed. It is stellar!

Best example of a Whitworth Express that I can recall, and that's coming from a guy with two pretty decent examples. GLWS!

Great advice, and all I would add to this is that you can build an upper using a ~$180 Ballistic Advantage stainless fluted barrel in 223 Wylde that is easily sub-MOA.

Zeihan's take. Interesting his comment about the effect this will have on Iran supplying drones to Russia

I believe this is the one that @steve white is referring to. I spotted it one day a few months back in the Gun Library at Cabelas in Allen, Texas. It wasn't quite my brand of whiskey, but I posted it to the Good Gun Deals thread because I was pretty certain there would be a member who'd be...

The Ruger 10/22 would be a great choice, and a few of mine have turned out to be shockingly accurate. Also very easy to operate, and feed quite reliably with a variety of ammo. That being said, I would recommend an M4 style of AR15 with a collapsible stock, forend light, and good red dot...

Very nice rifles, and good luck with the sales! What state are these located in, and do the prices include shipping?

I'll take these. PM To follow

Agreed. My late father put the stocks on the three rifles in that picture; but were I to order one today, I would want to see the picture of my specific stock ahead of time. PS - as an alternative option, the OP might also want to look at Richard's Microfit stocks.

Apologies for the poor lighting, but here is a trio of M98-style sporters with Boyd stocks: - Top: JC Higgins Model 50 in 30-06 - Middle: FN 1952 in 270 Winchester - Bottom: DWM in 25-06 Point being - Boyds has some nice selections, and I think you'd be pleased with one.

Great looking rifle, and I hope it serves you well. First one I've seen with the double set trigger, that's neat. I have a similar one - FN 1953 in 257 Roberts with an aftermarket stock, Timney trigger, and Leupold 4-12 glossy scope. It shoots Hornady 117gr +P SSTs sub-moa, but I'm only...

The Toyota options are pretty decent, but it's a damn shame that they have steadily slid from world class products to just better than average. Having worked with them in a B2B context for several years, I can tell you that company is riddled with dumbasses and the decline is not surprising...

Quick update - I experimented with the trigger a little more this evening; specifically focusing on that lower set screw which I confirmed to be the one that alters the pull weight. I was able to get the trigger pull down to right at 3 pounds with reliable function and safety (including the...

Thanks, and yes, that's what I was thinking as well. Adjusting the lower screw did seem to have an effect on the pull weight; just not in the way I was expecting. I will experiment with it a little more.

Earlier today I picked up a late 1950's Marlin 455; which is a post-war sporter based on a commercial FN Mauser 98 style action, Marlin micro-groove barrel, Sako trigger, and Bishop stock. These were made from 1955-1959, and this one is in 30-06. The gun is in pretty good shape overall, but...

This is hilarious, but it helps if you know a little bit about church congregations:

When I bought my Remington 30 Express in November of 2024, it was the first time that I felt like I was truly done and the appetite satiated. Then a dozen more have followed me home since then... :)

Spotted on Facebook. ;-)

That's pretty close to the same load I'm running in my Winchester Model 70 heavy barrel.

This is the primary use-case I had envisioned, and good performance on game would just be a bonus, IMO.

Congrats to a great buyer and great seller, and wishing you many years of happy hunting. @mdwest - I can share some of the handload data from my dad's 22-250's. Mostly IMR 4895 and some 55 or 60 grain Sierra HP's or SP's.

Can you upload some pictures of the hash marks you are talking about? That might affect the direction of recommendations. As @mdwest said, I've done a handful of stocks lately (with some great coaching from this forum), and now probably know just enough to be dangerous; but i can certainly...

I recently installed some aluminum two piece bases on a 1940 Sauer & Sohn M98 8x57 that still had the clip boss. A previous owner had drilled and tapped the receiver (two holes in the rear with standard 0.5" spacing), but there were no bases when I bought it. I had to do some careful filing...

+1 for the TX22. I am convinced it is currently the best kept secret on the firearms market. I have two, one for my wife and one for myself. Light, accurate, durable, low priced, and eats any ammo i put in it. I recommend them to every gun owner i know. Mine gets shot almost every...

:cool:

@RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION is running a great deal on these right now that includes free shipping, so I just ordered 250 of them for use in reloading 223 Rem and 5.56 for some of my bolt actions and ARs. Just curious to see if anyone else has tried these, and has any feedback on accuracy or...

I've side-stepped many a Bubba gun at local gun shops and gun shows over the years, but here is one I assembled just for fun a few years back. :cool:

Just purchased a stock from @clockwork_7mm_gator and he was great to deal with. Good communication, prompt shipping, and item arrived exactly as described. Buy with confidence! :)

I will take the stock 1a. - the Winchester short action sporter profile for $100 shipped. Will PM to make arrangements.

It still didn't display for me, I think your original image is just too big (13 Mb), so let me see if I can help here with a down-res'd version: PS - nice knives, and GLWS!

Great party, indeed; and many thanks to the @mdwest family for hosting! It was great to see so many faces, whether old friends or new. :)

Glad to hear that, and i think you made a nice catch. I was tempted myself, but I really don't want to tool up for a new caliber that would duplicate ones I've already got. But it's always tempting... :-)

This looks like a lot of gun for the money, for the person who is looking for a 280 AI. And a nice looking stock as well. https://www.cabelas.com/p/101950214

Very nice cadre of rifles, and good luck with the sales. Great seller and highly recommended! :-)

Are these glossy or matte finish? It's hard for me to tell from the pictures (or maybe it's just my device). :-)

Great deal for both of those! If your Whitworth is like my two are, there should be a four digit number stamped into the receiver just forward of the bolt handle which will tell you the month and year of manufacture. Sometimes the wood covers it up, so you may have to remove it from the...

All look great, but i find this one particularly intriguing. The styling of that stock is exquisite.

I just bought a scope from @TX_GreatPlains and he was great to deal with. Great communication, prompt shipping, and item arrived exactly as described. Highly recommended! :)

No, @Bob Nelson 35Whelen , I just take those straight out back to the tomato garden. :cool:

There's gotta be a good story behind the "scootin like a Labrador on the carpet" comment. :cool:

Yep, it fit perfectly. :-)

Contrary to the positive sentiments that are popular in this thread, the 7mm-08 (much like the 30-06 cartridge discussed in an adjacent thread) is a wholly outdated and inadequate cartridge for field use in any current day hunting scenario; and as a result, any unwanted vintage walnut and blue...

I currently have a Hogue M98 overmold stock with pillar bedding mounted to a Zastava-made Interarms Mark X action. Mine is not available, but it indicates that one should work for your application.

I concur. The only reason I haven't sought out a 7mm-08 to acquire is because I already have multiple 7x57's, and so a 7mm-08 would be practically redundant; however, I won't turn down a deal if I ever find one that I can't resist. For whatever reason, I've always romanticized that caliber...

That is one of my favorites, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I had two glasses of it over a nice steak dinner just last week.

Merry Christmas to all, and I am grateful to have found such an awesome community!
