Purchased Another rifle I didn't know i needed, 7x64

[Wade J VanGinkel]

Once again as a direct result of being a member here I purchased a rifle I couldn't live without. This makes 4 now.
.275 rigby on a military mauser action
Ruger African in 6.5x55
Whitworth 375
And now a Ruger MKII in 7x64
I waited 6 weeks hoping someone else would buy it at my local cabelas but finally gave in.
Mounting a scope this week and excited to get it going.
As a side note I've found remington 175gr online for only $20 a box so loaded up on some of those to get started.

Just a note. I'd been told cabelas would deal on used guns. They came down $300 pretty easily when I pushed on the price.
Plus I had to make a 100 mile drive twice to get it.

Usually when I contact Cabelas about one of their online guns I get one of the following responses:

That gun sold yesterday ...
We can not find that gun ...
The guy that deals with the online sales is on vacation ...

Purchased a Styer-Mannlicher “Professional” (synthetic stock) over 40 years ago with a Zeiss variable scope. Came standard with a set trigger, hammer forged barrel with all metal parts treated with a military grade finish that, after several moose/caribou hunts in northern Newfoundland, and decades of occasional hunting, showed no degradation whatever. The rifle/cartridge is one on the most accurate I own and shoots better than I do. Great cartridge, flatter and a bit more powerful than a 7x57 with minimal recoil. Love it. Enjoy yours.
